Transformers Prime Just Piqued My Interest
When I last talked about Transformers Prime, I think I’d finally acknowledged that many of you guys liked it, but it was not for me. And while some of you were content for me to simply stop giving the show shit, many of you have gone one to sing Prime‘s continued praises leading me, if only slightly, to wonder if the cartoon has genuinely improved since I saw the premiere. Obviously, I don’t know the answer, but after watching this very brief but surprisingly interesting season 2 teaser from NYCC, I’m definitely willing to give Prime another chance when it starts back up. I’m still not a fan of the animation, but if this is the kind of craziness that ensues in the show, then yeah, I owe it another chance. (Via Seibertron)
