Reynold Jupudi Transformers Robots in Diguise is the sequel to the acclaimed Transformers Prime series. And it is a complete disgrace to Prime. One could write a book about everything that's wrong with RID. There is no plot, character development or anything else that would be part of a good show.The plot is terrible. RID promised to pick up where Prime left off but it does nothing to keep that promise. Instead, it drives on a silly plot in every episode and does nothing to expand the Aligned universe as a whole. Unlike Prime, RID is not one continuous series. Every episode is a new plot and the events of the plot have no real consequences. There is no tension or threat to the heroes like in Prime. And the so-called important plots end up being very anti-climatic. For example, in season 3, Soundwave is constantly teased and the audience are led to believe he will be a threat but he ends up being defeated in a single episode. There are many occasions such as this where you're anticipating something big and nothing big actually ends up happening.As for character development, there is none. Episodes mainly focus on characters learning some kind of lesson. However, the lessons learnt don't forward to future episodes. For example, an episode would deal with Sideswipe going rogue and having to learn teamwork but just a few episodes later, he would learn the same lesson all over again. Another instance is when Sideswipe and Steongarm learn to work and respect each other and in the next episode, they would get into a fight again. It seems so silly and makes you wonder if the writers read their own scripts. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee resemble little to their Prime counterparts. The whole Bumblebee feeling jealous of Optimus Prime in season 2 was stupid and annoying. The Prime version of Bumblebee would never act in such a way to defy his leader. It's simply not in his character but yet we are forced to accept these two Bumblebees are the same.I just wish Hasbro had ended the continuity with Prime. RID just ruins the masterpiece that Prime was.

renerr-84944 When I finished Transformers Prime I was totally blown away by the characters, animation, development, and the all-around plot of the series. Then I heard there was going to be a sequel, I was expecting just as good quality and the characters that I had grown to love but I was sadly disappointed in all areas.I would not consider this a sequel to Prime. RID is directed to small children <12, the way they overly simplified the characters speech, and the moral 'lesson' learned in each episode definitely enforced this. The animation was probably the worst let down besides the butchering of the characters, a large step down from what it was, very disappointing, especially knowing the possibilities and expecting the same quality as Prime.There are so many other things that ruined this show for me, like the Decepticons and the repetitive plot. But as a stand-alone and the show in general, I gave it a 3 because of the poor animation, butchered characters, repetitive plot and personalities, and the overall poor quality of the show and its design. But it's catered to small children and I have to say if this wasn't meant to be a sequel to a great show and if there wasn't an audience of adults and teens that were looking forward to more of that, I would say that it was OK for a very young audience.

TheLittleSongbird The 'Transformers' animated shows have been very mixed overall. While there are some great shows such as 'Transformers' (1984), 'Beast Wars' and 'Prime' there are also some poor ones such as 'Victory' and "The Unicron Trilogy" ('Armada' especially, with 'Cybertron' the least bad but not saying a lot).'Robots in Disguise' is among the franchise's worst and the worst 'Transformers' show since 'Armada'. It is redeemed by the character of Steeljaw, the most impressively designed, one of few of the characters to register positively or have intrigue value and the best voiced, deserving of being in the show more. As well as some vibrant colours and a few interesting characters, again particularly with Steeljaw.However, some of the animation in terms of movement is static and slow, meaning that as well as dumbed down the action sequences feel lazy and lack urgency or momentum. While a few of the characters have intriguing designs, some do look weird, especially Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock. The music is not awful as such, but it doesn't have the memorability factor and is not as dynamic as it should be.Where 'Robots in Disguise' particularly fails is in the writing and characterisation. The writing is incredibly lazy and while certainly too juvenile for adults even children will find that it is too simplistic and dumbed down for them. Any attempts at humour fall flat and some of the more repetitive ones wear well thin very quickly, especially with Fixit, Strongarm and Grimlock.A vast majority of the characters are obnoxiously out of character or simplified to dumbness (i.e. Grimlock), lack personality (Megatronus, true of most of the Decepticons who act more stupid than threatening is far too under-utilised and lacks any kind of menace) or are irritating (as well as being that Sideswipe serves as a terrible role model and Drift is an annoying jerk). Someone please also decide what personality and such to give Russell, because the frequently indecisive characterisation and writing is really grating. Steeljaw and Jazz are two of few exceptions.'Robots in Disguise' is lacking when it comes to its storytelling too. Some episodes are paper-thin and static, while others cram in too much, so parts either feel hectic or incredibly pedestrian. The severe lack of tension and conflict and that it does very little with quite old ideas.Not much good to say about the voice work either. There are a few talented names here (with some prolific names), but almost all either have little to do, have annoying and ill-fitting voices (Megatronus and Bisk are notably jarring) or are over-parted. Steeljaw fares the least badly by far in this regard.Overall, despite giving it a fair and honest chance, 'Robots in Disguise' is one of the worst 'Transformers' shows with not much good to say about it. 2/10 Bethany Cox

rocketgirl-19104 The series is great, and if we vote enough to it could get another season, all transformers series have been different, there is nothing wrong with this one, but it must have Megatron in it, and the return of the three kids from prime. I have a YouTube videos about it. I wonder why Megatron hasn't appeared yet. Everyone would love that, wound't you?. We should have a poll for it, I can't wait to see what cartoon Hasbro has next for the transformers. However it's all Star Wars and frozen at the moment, and just because transformers was meant for boys doesn't mean it should have more male characters, that makes it unfair, it should be for both boys and girls, it's the same with My little pony, the new baby was said to be a foul but became a female, I'm not saying I don't like her, I do, it's just that like transformers it's cented on one gender, and has more of one gender in it, I wish more girls were involved with transformers.
