Transformers: Earthspark

I really loved this show. Granted it's not my favorite but it still is one of my favorites. I enjoyed the characters and the story as a whole. Since it's been released I've rewatched it at least 3 times. I think it's a great starter show for anyone getting into transformers. It has a lot of funny moments and is honestly overhated. It does have its flaws and awkward moments but that will be true for any show. So far there have not been any inaccuracies in the show that would contradict the already established lore. If you love transformers and want to watch more of it i highly suggest earthspark.

TF Earthspark is the most mediocre Transformers series produced in years, and perfectly encapsulates how creatively bankrupt both Hasbro and Nickelodeon are.

The series is a cliché "kid hates the new town they move to" slice-of-life show with a Transformers texture pack applied. The series tries to have epic, nuanced lore mixed with Teletubbies-tier ploit conflicts.

The Decepticons aren't even the main villains. Instead, we get a human scientist who hates Transformers as the main villain. (Wow, how original!)

In closing, TF Earthspark is a bland robot cartoon for toddlers. You're better off watching the Machinima Trilogy.

From the clunkily shoe-horned in family politics to the bad character design, this version of Transformers is almost as bad as it could possibly get.

The human children are given pride of place, likely to appeal to fans of Ben 10 and similar shows. For the record, Ben 10 is much better than Transformers EarthSpark. Anyway, the focus is very much away from the transformers (a lot of the time anyway) so that the children can take centre stage.

The 80s show is still the best version of Transformers, by a long way. EarthSpark has far too much talking, to the point where one of my kids asked me if we were still watching Transformers. Yes, I said, though I could barely believe it myself.

It's pretty solid. I wish there was more explanation for Megatron being an autobot, but it's still a lot of fun. If you want something serious and more like the original, you should probably try another show. It's obvious, especially in the first few episodes, that it's a kids show. Lots of very thinly veiled stranger danger, don't do drugs type talks. The tone also isn't all that consistent. There are some episodes where it will be very light hearted stuff about the new transformers learning, and other times where main characters get seriously hurt. In the earlier episodes, it almost feels like they're trying to prove it's a transformers show, shoving in the more recognizable characters, but it calms down and they do a really good job showing the family's bond.

This show is exactly what you'd expect it to be, it's a kid show with an innocent feel to it with childish humor.

In my opinion it is a well-done series, the voice acting is good, the plot is intriguing, even some of the kids humor I got a kick out of it, the fight scenes are good too.

I would definitely recommend this to parents who like Transformers and think their kids would enjoy it too without having to sit through a 2.5 hour Michael Bay Transformer movie that involve a lot of crude humor.

The show is a little bit too human-focused for my taste and some of the big name Transformers people might want to see go several episodes at a time without making an appearance but that is really my only complaint.
