Transformers Animated is by & large the worst in terms of robot & character design. They look more like Teen Titans characters rather than robots! A Transformers series is only as strong as its weakeest part. You can't enter a Transformers series without putting effort into every aspect of it, but the lackidasical anime design means that the whole series suffers in the process. I agree it has to change but not from good to awesome to CRAP, why can't they look like Gundams or Teknoman instead of Teen Titans? the transforming would be better.

They were a little better as a movie than anime.
Don't know how the creator got approved to make it into a show.
I think the reason why they suck so much is cause they producers wanted to cut back on the price for animation. Crappy drawings means less money to pay for them.
