I’m Trying to Be Nice to Transformers: Prime, Really I Am
Seibertron has a slew of new Transformers: Prime promo videos, and I swear I’m showing you the very best one. The one that makes Transformers: Prime look the most entertaining. Indeed, if you don’t go watching the character specific promos for Arcee, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper and new unnecessary child sidekick Jack Darby, you might be able to look past the bland, sparse environments, the weird mouth-slits all the Transformers have, and that all the fight scenes have at last one Autobot who launches him/her/itself high into the air into a crowd of nameless Decepticons grunts. So… don’t go watch those other videos, is what I’m saying. Just watch this one, and cross your fingers.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
