The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

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.

I have to say,this show is way better than the movies that are being released today.The show has more transformers and a lot of character development than the movies do.It's cool to see how Bumblebee is trying to make his own path on being a leader of his Autobot team like Optimus Prime before him.And the show introduces new transformers that haven't been shown before.

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.

I would have to agree with An Na (See review above). After watching Prime, the story, the detail and the animation, that was by far brilliant, I was so excited to watch this, I had built it up and up for months, on the understanding this was a sequel, so one assumed that graphics would increase, yet they dipped dramatically and the narrative would get better, when in fact it was pushed back dramatically.The fact they've made Grimlock an awful 'Funny Character' that is incredibly annoying only insulted long time fans of the franchise. ITS A SEQUEL, we have already seen Grimlock in prim, how and why has he gone from a strong powerful force, leader of the Dinobots to a dumbed down plain boring character, it makes no sense.I watch about 5 episodes of this series before going 'NOPE no more, and removing them from my library to be forgotten to in time'.My advice, go re watch Prime, Armada, Energon, Cybertron. you'll only hate this and yourself for falling into the trap.
