I was already giggling a bit at this rare opportunity to watch one of TF fandom's famous tantrums in real time
It's my first time seeing it in real time, too! And, even if I knew this is the fandom who coined the "Ruined FOREVER" line, I'm still surprised at how seriously people take the giant space cartoon robots.

Especially because we've had a lot of proof that new series don't kill the franchise. But hey, I like G1 and Beast Wars and TFA, so what do I know. :P

... and don't get me started on the people who complain about a kids' series being directed at kids.

It's a little stupid how excited I am about this. It's like watching a beautiful flower bloom!

That's what annoys me the most, really. It's like, it's okay if Transformers was a kids' show back in the Eighties, but now that I the primary audience is all grown up it should be sophisticated and nuanced grown-up entertainment for serious collectors. Why isn't Hasbro catering to my whims, me me me! Blargh.

Thiiis. It's especially annoying because Transformers does have Darker And Edgier comics aimed at an older audience.

Exactly! The comics can afford to have that audience; an animated series really has to appeal a bit wider if it's going to survive, and that means appealing to kids and probably retelling some story elements rather than immediately delving into the franchise's many unsolved mysteries.

I really should get a hold of some of the comics someday, though; some of them (Shattered Glass!) look quite good.
