Making Transformers: Prime Is More Interesting Than Transformers: Prime
I stand by my disappointment with Transformers: Prime, but I do appreciate this “behind-the-scenes video” of the making of Prime. It’s not a comedy masterpiece or anything, and it’s chock full of groaners, but it does have a few moments, including executive producer Roberto Orci telling fellow producer Alex Kurtzman to save his amazing “Megatron barfs” idea for the movies.There’s also a bit of new animation at the end, which features the actually pretty cool scene of Bulkhead ripping a Decepticon drone’s heart out… but also one of the human kids being stupid beyond comprehension and the same dull, flat backgrounds. Anyways, your mileage may vary on all of it, but I thought it was worth posting. (Via Seibertron)
