    A love letter to ALL the franchise's shows and movies. Beautiful animation, hundreds of references, crossovers that we've never seen and dozens of wallpaper-worthy shots. Seeing 3D characters in 2D animation for the first time is a treat. Bump of Chicken was a weird choice but it really fits the nostalgic vibe it has going for. I also have to comment there's some weird missing characters (Soundwave, Shockwave, Chromedome...) given how many robots appear, but it's clear the theme of the PV is centered more about the main protagonists. I love Transformers, I love Trigger, and if you still don't think there's any value inthe Transformers franchise after seeing this, nothing more can be done for you. Please Takara and Hasbro, let Trigger make the full show they obviously want.

    Best thing I've ever seen in my life. A perfect homage to the series so beloved to my life and childhood, it showed pretty much something for every fan of the franchise to enjoy or hold onto. The artstyle switches and varies a lot between all the different looks they were trying to capture, even making all of those 3D western cartoon designs into a perfect blend of anime and whatever they were originally such as TFPrime's depiction. Definitely was something I looked forward to, and I'm a little sad that this special was all we got. Regardless, it was an amazing thing to behold
