Fans of G1 rejoice!

Finally, a non-G1 Transformers series that has great potential to please old-school fans.
While Optimus Prime does have a mouth in nearly every scene, rest assured, his familiar faceplate will appear during battle scenes. This series brings back old favorites, albeit with a new flavor, while introducing a few new ones for your viewing pleasure. Taking cues from the 2007 live-action movie, Transformers Animated picks up sometime after the movie ended. The bots, now publicly known, are trying to find ways of adjusting to life on Earth. Unknown to them, Megatron lives on, and though he is now 'less' of a bot than he was before, hes no less evil, manipulative, cunning, or resourceful than he was before.
If you loved G1, you'll like this series. Blitzwing makes an appearance as one of the main Decepticons, and as a triple-changer for any of those who fear that his new incarnation would stray from his glorious G1 appearance. Word from the wise though, if you are a hardcore G1 fan like myself, this series, while giving nods to older fans, was not made for us, but the kids of today, so you will have to put up with your favorite bots coping attitudes every now and then, as well as the general happy-go-lucky atmosphere. You can't deny it though: Sari, the Autobots new human friend, just looks SOOOOOOOO cute in her Optimus Prime Halloween costume.
The biggest difference you will notice right off the bat is that Prowl is no longer a police car, but a motorcycle, and a black and gold one at that. I will give praise to the toys of this series though. Out of all the bots to ever have a motorcycle as an alt form, the figures from this series are superb, and every figure is show accurate in both alt AND bot form, a first in history.
As for the length of the series, it is all of 2 DVD discs in length, so beware of sellers offering it at high prices.
