My main problem with Siege is the near-endless exposition, especially in the first two episodes. A golden rule in storytelling is *'show, don't tell',* but Siege takes the opposite approach and suffers for it. When the Seekers find Wheeljack and Bumblebee at the start of episode one, what follows is a barrage of exposition about things the characters should already be more than familiar with. Even when Megatron shows up, followed by Optimus, they just keep adding more heaps to the expository pile. There's not much of any actual, tangible STORY in Siege, but even the plot is barely there due to the overarching lack of faith the writers have in the audience's intelligence.

This Version of Optimus Prime came across more like Rodimus Prime in G1 - The problem of Youth getting a position of power too soon, and having to mature into the role faster than normal. Also, It seemed like Bumblebee's character was off. At least in previous versions, the constant was his willingness to fight for the autobot cause, and a 'youthful exuberance' in general.

@@bigpapi4209 That has nothing to do with the animation, and I'm about 99% sure the house that animated this didn't make the models themselves. Seeing as how they look practically identical to the toys, they probably got some files shipped to them by Hasbro and told to make due with whatever deadline they were given. So, it's also not lazy. Cheap? Probably. Somewhat incompetent due to people in charge not understanding what resources were actually needed to make the thing work well, definitely. But it wasn't the animators' fault and it wasn't due to laziness.

Mirage. Who turns into a literal racecar. *Running* from people who run faster than he does.

This almost perfectly expresses my feelings about the show. Horrifically bad pacing around an average story with some decent characters and some poor decisions with voice direction. Optimus' voice tried way too hard, and in doing so, amplified the cracks in his performance. Impactor had absolutely no strength behind it. I felt like Shockwave had too weasely of a voice for someone who I've always seen as a menacing presence. My only big complaint that wasn't brought up here was how characters just... showed up? They had the scene near the beginning where all the Autobots crowded together, showing Wheeljack, Elita, Cog, maybe Chromia? Then it goes to the medbay, revealing the horde of faceless soldiers and introducing Red Alert and Sideswipe. But the episodes keep rolling by and, uhh.. Hound is here now! Oh, Arcee exists! Ironhide was here the whole time, just slightly off-screen! Moon Racer shows up! If they had excused it or introduced them at all, maybe with a "Hound and Ironhide was out of commission but Red Alert finally got to them" or even an quick comment about them being on patrol before, that would be fine. But it felt like they forgot these characters existed and then quickly drumped them in there after 90% of the script was finished simply because they were iconic, or needed some fodder (I'm sorry, Moon Racer). Overall, it was pretty.. fine. Had a lot of questionable decisions, a lot of "You're so close to being good," but still reaching the bare minimum of a not-so-bad show.

Also if they would routinely blow POW's heads off with explosives, why does Megatron's murder of Ultra Magnus make him a bastard but not Prowl?

This version of Cybertron wasn't so much war-torn as it was post-apocolyptic. It felt like a dead world. I'd have rather seen Cybertron at the beginning of the war, sort of like the StarWars prequels; you know the shit is about to hit the fan, but people are still trying to live their lives, while different factions are up to shenannigans. Seeing Megatron and Magnus fighting together as young soldiers would have been better than hearing them talking about it. Regular TF cartoon shows tend to be too kid-friendly for me, but this mini-series was trying too hard to be gritty.

Here's my take. The whole show was like a solid 5/10, but it could have easily surpassed that if the intention was to make it a completely stand-alone show. With the product that we have its fine, its not terrible, and that means that there are some genuinely good things that I really liked but was also frustrated that they were not expanded on. Such as Bumblebee and his character, or getting.a glimpse at a neutral faction of scavengers. Things I liked -The appeal to the Decepticon cause through Impactor shown through his disputes with Mirage. The whole social structure on Cybertron with the Autobots mostly being upper-class citizens with casual, comfy, lives, and that Decepticons were the brute force and most of the grunt-work working class, including military. -I also really liked the adversity that Megatron has to become more and more unethical in his methods. when he has Magnus imprisoned he clearly hesitates and avoids torturing him unless it was his final resort, and he also does not seem happy about making that decision once he has. He also did this in response to Shockwave's virus, he hesitated before deciding to go through with it and holds up a strong front in front of his following when he announces his decision. -Jetfire and Starscream. I liked that Jetfire was worked into the Decepticon cause and has noticed how it has changed rather than being tricked into joining or strongarmed like previous tellings. As thew mentioned I was also really intrigued by the neuro-bomb thingy and the determination that Jetfire showed in the sea of rust. Things I didn't like - Show cant decides if it doesn't have enough content or too much. There are 6 episodes in total and the show fights between intriguing lore and long boring "eulogies" (taking that from Thew) between different characters. -I felt like the whole Bumblebee chosen one thing was a bit rushed and didn't make as much sense because of how adamant he was on not joining a side. It's really just a nitpick -The main takeaway is just execution really That's my take on it anyway. This is all my personal opinion and if you read this far thank you for your time.

I've always liked rooting for the Decepticons in transformers, but in this series, it kinda felt like there was nothing wrong in doing so. Megatron just wants to end the war so he can concentrate on more important things. Optimus wants to keep on fighting because he doesn't want to surrender to Megatron. Megatron welcomes Ultra Magnus, hear about Shockwave's plan for the all spark, and is like "eh, screw that." Ultra Magnus over hears the plan, is mistaken, tells about it to Optimus. Optimus is like, "We must get the All spark out of megatron's hands before he uses it! Even if it kills our home world!" Shit happens, Megatron gets more and more desperate and is forced to break his moral codes. The final battle is a Revolutionist turned Tyrant, desperately trying to save his home world from a bunch of mistaken idiots, who only now figured "Hay what if we left the planet instead of dragging out the conflict? That's an option."

My favorite bit of dialogue from it was when Bumblebee is first telling them his plan to go to Soundblaster's place, because for that brief moment, someone (specifically Bee) actually has some excitement in their voice. Like he actually felt MOTIVATED to do it. That's one of the main problems with the Autobots in Siege for me: none of them really feel motivated to do anything - which I get, war takes its toll and all - but it did end up just feeling a bit dry. Even Optimus, who was motivated to be doing stuff, has no idea what stuff to do, so he just keeps tripping over himself. (Again, I get it, it's nice to see him not have ALL the answers, but he never had to go out and find them, they just fell right into his lap, so he might as well have had them anyway.) So, yeah, it was nice to see someone actually WANT to do something and feel confident about doing it.

(Edit: this is my rant about the show and it’s a smidge long) One thing I did have a problem with is they didn’t really explain the whole weaponizer thing. I thought there would of been like 5 minutes roughly explaining how they were created or why but no there just there. Soundblaster was a surprise. He was a soundwave clone gone wrong and became a crime boss. It’s interesting but I hope there a stick or something to put over the figure and does this mean characters like galvatron, scourge, and Cyclonus will be different characters to the main cast and where is the buzzsaw micro master pack I need my 2 soundy bots with the 2 birdy bots. Last rant bit and it’s impactor. I loved how they added impactor to the show and his character arc it was done very well. But what confuses me is the I thought the blue eyed IDW figure was going to be the decepticon but no it’s the red eyed marvel comic figure but the toy is an autobot. Does this mean we will see the IDW design as an autobot later on or his he dead dead and on the 3 pack I know the holo mirage is a callback to an older figure but wouldn’t the decepticon disguise or a heavily battle damaged repaint make more sense, I really liked his voice and character for his first appearance. But like in the video having or origin of the war and the pre war would of been better than we need to hide the allspark. Maybe like some flash backs of the decepticon uprising and alpha trion conflict.

I think a better spoiler figure would be to have the heavily damaged Magnus after he was tortured by megatron and to have the wired purple eyed and tubes painted across the body. Also why didn’t they have the cape for him

Aaaaaand it's just deleted two scenes later. Siege set up so many stories more interesting than the one it told.

Here's my review: Animation: Alright, innit. Except for the lip syncing, that was horrendous. Story: Sorry, last animated TF I watched was Prime, so that's what I'm gonna compare this to. And IDW's Lost Light stuff. So no, this was absolute crap and tried to cram too much into too few minutes. Characters: Samey and absolutely none of them got any interesting actual characterization. Script was 99% growly Hard Man one-liners. Some interesting concepts, horribly executed. Voice acting: Everybody except Elita-1 sounded like variations of the same Growly Man. Nobody did anything interesting with the voices, just like nobody did anything interesting with the characters. So no, this was pretty much shit. Too bad, since I KNOW Transformers in animated form can be good for real (Prime). On the other hand, the comicbook being a lot better than the crappy cartoon script-wise is a fine tradition going back to G1 =)
