Review: Synopsis: A ragtag group of AUTOBOTS led by OPTIMUS PRIME are in a remote sector of CYBERTRON cleaning space bridges when they stumble upon the most import artifact in TRANSFORMERS history; the ALLSPARK! The DECEPTICONS who are only scary myths for many AUTOBOTS are in hot pursuit of the ALLSPARK; now this new band of AUTOBOTS must fight for their lives and the future of CYBERTRON. The AUTOBOTS are able to escape the DECEPTICONS and crash land on an unknown planet called Earth. They land in Lake Erie and remain in stasis for 50 years. Meanwhile, MEGATRON, sabotaged by STARSCREAM lost the ALLSPARK and fell to Earth in scattered pieces. A young scientist named Isaac Sumdac discovers him and uses his technology to create the modern robotics industry in Detroit. The AUTOBOTS awaken from stasis, during an emergency. Deciding to help the new organic life forms, they convert into emergency vehicles and fight off a scary creature. Unable to stay in disguise they change into their robot forms able to save the day! In doing so, they become new celebrities and heroes to the humans. OPTIMUS PRIME and his band of AUTOBOTS make Detroit their adopted home and vow to protect the ALLSPARK and Earth from the DECEPTICONS and anyone else who try and cause chaos. MEGATRON comes online during all of the commotion and discovers his headless body in Isaac’s lab! AUTOBOTS hold the key to his rise and eventual rule of the universe!
Henry's Quick Kid Review: Transformers Rock! I like how this has different robots and some of the same. The old ones look new and cool as well.
At the start it's a long time ago in space, but ends up on earth after Starscream plants a bomb on Megatron during a battle with the Autobots.
The Earth in the show is the future and the Autobots become hero's on Earth. Later the Decepticons show up and it's up to the Autobots to save Earth.
Mikeys Quick Spin Review: While I like my Transformers on the Old School side the boy is right there is something cool about these new ones. The plots are sugary sweet but the action and stories are pretty solid for a kid friendly show about robots battling it out.
Can't wait for the full season and the next live action movie. But this will do until then. Buy It Now: Rating:
