aww, i thought these were pretty cool. lotsa retro feel, with new (pretty goddamn good for tv) animation. and in that first clip, there's like a good 60 seconds or so with no dialog, just action - so incredibly rare for an american toon.
Also, it looks even more shitty when you consider the fact that the movies' robots were also CG (of course, I understand that the movies had better budget).
i actually prefer these designs to the movies, which are so fucking complex and drab i often can't tell which bot, or what part, i'm supposed to be rooting for. to me, these look more like updated versions of the 80s toon.
