Heh, im not a huge Transformers fan in general because most of the cartoons are cheesy and boring. The movies are not that great either. But Transformers Prime never reminded me of the cheesy boring stuff every other Transformers show/movie has. Its a very fun show with mature story lines, and besides following the Transformers concept itself, its in its own category all together.
But main point, the fact I realized what it was in like a quarter second to opening the picture, your definitely succeeded. I saw the Star Wars starship too, but I quickly noticed Transformers more because I don’t see it as much.
I agree with everything you said about Transformers Prime, It’s definitely one of the best Transformers shows out there, But it was an expensive show to make compared to other Transformers shows. (For good reason)
