Cartoon Network has put up a 3-minute section of the premiere movie (airing Dec 26). This will be up until Dec 17, according to the note on the clip link. www.cartoonnetwork.com/video/I am rather impressed by it. As always there's things I would change but the promise and potential is definitely there. The things I noted: - The scene is a well done bit of mixing G1 homage (including sound effects!) and movie homage without being a direct clone of either. It's only a small sample, but I feel my hope rising. - Decepticons: Starscream is about as perfect as he can be! And Blackarachnia, while not voiced by Venus Terzo, has potential to be the same lovable bad girl from Beast Wars. While I would prefer a more "traditional" Megatron voice, the characterization is well done and the voice will likely grow on me. - Autobots: Somewhat disappointing, but this is also the beginning of the story so there's a lot of room for growth. I can see the potential in Optimus, but Bumblebee just strikes me as wrong - he's more pessimistic and less Optimus-worshiping "buddy" than I had hoped for. With an luck, this was just a poor scene choice to preview Bumblebee in .... - The Autobot's ship (glaringly not referred to as the Ark, even though it has Teletraan-1) looks to have the potential to be an homage to yet another G1 favorite. The colors remind me more of Blaster, but the ship form somewhat made me think of Omega Supreme (could the "Omega maneuver" be a hint?).

I loved it When I heard Prime mention Teletran 1 my mouth dropped
Even though this Teletran has a female voice it was cool to know it will be in the show
The G1 transforming sound is back and about time too
If Bumblebee is pessamistic he will become more like Rattrap and I loved that character

Not a whole lot to go on, but what there is, is pretty good. Bumblebee seems to be channeling bw rattrap, which is fine w/ me.

Of course I *loved* hearing the transforming sound, and Starscream's voice is outstanding, but somehow I just couldn't get too worked up over this preview. I'll definitely be watching the premiere though.

Megatron looks like Bon Jovi.

I am all for it so far, but then I have been all for any Transformers Cartoon.

Considering it seemed most of the focus for Cybertron was in animation. Hopefully this time around it will be in the story, but I am not against the Teen Titans look either.

But if the stories are good enough, i can over look crap animation. This is better animation than a lot of other CN-created shows. And lightyears better than Armada/Energon/Cybertron.
