Obviously its skewing for the very young kids but I enjoy the Superlink esque gimmick of limb swapping. And seeing Longrack from Beast Wars Neo again (or a similar character to him) is nice.

Transformers is a distant second in Takara Tomy's sales ledger to Shinkalion, not helped by numerous shows and the most recent movie flopping. Getting a bunch of kid-focused shorts and toys out there is probably their best way of getting a new audience, without having to parody dub another flop like Earthspark.
It's kind of telling that Hasbro is doing a similar set of shorts with their Cyberworld line, but that Takara wanted to make their own. Both companies are probably at least a year away from trying to put together a major show again (and even then, the only thing the fandom seems to want are the Energon Universe comics animated). |

This looks fun! And oddly nice parallel to Cyberwordl.
Also you know it's Japanese TF with the Powerlinxing.
Not really sure if that's what I want personally even as someone who enjoys the comics...feel like the issues of said comics would be enhanced in animation format unless they go the Invincible route. |

This kind of looks like they directly used the toy's CAD models for the show. The most show-accurate Transformers toys from day-1?
