Ethan B 12/07/2020 This show sucks. It is for small kids but I wouldn't even show them this. This show insults my own intelligence where the characters just stand around talking on what to do while people are in danger. The protagonist Hot Shot is one of the worst transformers characters ever. At the beginning of the show he is a jerk and wants to play games on cybertron. What should happen is over time in the show he grows as a character and learns to work as a team. BUT NO!!! In the final episode of season 1 he leaves his team to go play sports on Cybertron. And then there is Optimus Prime the worst incarnation of the character period. He is just more light hearted than he was in the previous show and it just comes out as a bad change in character. In the previous show and Transformers Prime he always spoke in this grand noble, and wise way but here he says stupid stuff and he laughed. Optimus has never laughed in the entire Aligned continuity and this show destroyed everything he was. I guess it may be fine for kids but please just show them something else.
