I doubt it'll suck. Energon only sucked cos Superlink sucked but the original series, god I loved that!!! It should be good but they're re-using too many names! Come up with more god dammit! XD
I have to see Galaxy Force first to know. I loved Super Link, the Japanese really made the Transformers become more aggresive and more prominent (Don't get me wrong, nothing will trully replace First Gen Transformers). When I saw Energon, they seemed to have lost some of the edge of Super Link, like Galvatron/Megatron becoming more soft spoken in Energon.
Right now I don't have enough room in my HD for Galaxy Force but I will see to watch that.
i think the english version can only be as good as the japanese in the end. i dont download it (lack of high speed), but mega ranger on this forum has shown me some, and told me more about what he's seen. superlink started off really well, but kinda went downhill a little later on (like with the rather weak battle between giant optimus and unicron). i dunno *shrug* i'm sure all us TF fans will watch at least the first several episodes anyway to see how it goes ^_^
*puts hands over head* Prowl did not die in the movie! Prowl did not die in the movie! Prowl did NOT DIE in THE MOVIE!!! *sough* sorry, came outta nowhere lol ^_^
This time around will be different. To meet some kinda rush or something, they churred out as many as they could as fast as they could and took no effort to try and make it a better quality dub.
I have to say Hasbro is really dropping the ball already on this one though. The toys are in mass-distribution as we speak, some stores already have them on the shelves. No advertisements anywhere for them. The show starts in just over a week. No advertisements for it. If you weren't already a die-hard fan, you probably wouldn't even know a new series was coming up. I also fear for Voicebox's work on the dub. They've done some pretty horrible work on the last couple, and this one also has the stigma of being rewritten as a sequel to the last couple.
I hope and pray it suceeds, I hate it when something I like is maimed when released here. Then I am forced to listen to the casual fan whine about how much Transformers sucks nowadays.
