**Spoiler alert for both Prime and this show**
Transformers Prime, while reaching the end of the series, had some unsolved issues. During this time, Megatron ran away into self exile. This was used to cause the disbanding of the Decepticons. Less we forget Airachnid's story arc in which she is infected with vampirism. Hasbro and Polygon stopped the show right there which was the worst timing they could actually do. They decided to "make it up to us" by airing a more "toned down" version of the show that would "appeal to all audiences." They brought in the most overrated autobot in existence who now wants to play leader with a generic punky rebel, generic damsel stereotype girl, a heel face revolving dinobot and some random minibot who have the sudden urge to overthrow a new threat consisting of furries as robots. Also, there's no sign of the other characters from Transformers Prime besides him and Optimus Prime.
Now we're stuck having to watch what Hasbro and TakTom views as quality television with it's severely watered down fight scenes, lack of intensity, boring character designs, terribly designed weapons, little-to-no plot, monster-of-the-week style, lack of explanation and sudden interest in not bringing back characters who they should have brought back. Where did Megatron go? Did Starscream survive the predacons? Did Soundwave escape from the Shadowzone? Was Knockout imprisoned? How did Optimus Prime, who was going to die anyway, come back to life? How the heck did Megatronus become a Generic Doomsday Villain? Most importantly, why doesn't the cast consist of the new sparklings?
score 1/10
