Okay, after avoiding this for quite a while, I decided to give it a go. While I am not convinced that the intent was not to create an A-Team cartoon in disguise, I am kind of enjoying it. I really liked Major Bludd actually going toe to toe with Snake Eyes, and while not winning, at least holding his own for awhile in episode 3. I am not sure I like some of the reimaginings of the characters like Breaker, but we will see how things go. I still hold out hope that Duke and the gang can convince everyone that Cobra is evil and then go kick butt like the big happy family they should be.

I actually think it's a good approach for 'reimaging'. You have your core characters, and recurring roles (though I don't like Destro's mask). The kids watching it can enjoy their heroes, while the adults watching it with their kids* can enjoy the cameos and in jokes as a result.

Spoiler:
no I don't have kids, yes I watch the cartoon. Deal with it.


It's not so bad. Hardcore fans of the original series should buy the DVDs if they want to watch the original series. Let someone else give it a try every now and again. I'm liking the transformers prime as well, although it's a bit on the cheesy side.

Ratchet's become my favourite character. :-)

I was hoping Wheeljack would stick around.

I agree to a point. My big grip with "Breaker" is that the old Joes had a hacker, Mainframe. The homage would have been better if the had used Mainframe IMO. Of course I also must admit that Mainframe was one of my favorite lesser known characters, so I would have liked to have him back in the spotlight.

Edit: I also would not mind more reimaginings like Jinx. Meow!
