Definitely More Than Meets The Eye

Warning: Spoilers
Transformers: Combiner Wars is a animated series that is targeted to teenage and adult fans of the Transformers which of course spark interest because while we have shows like "Beast Wars" and "Prime" that was targeted to fans of all ages Combiner Wars try to be exactly for the older fans of the Transformers.

This mini Series has a total of eight episodes that are five to six minutes long which in a way could have been made into a mini movie. Because the writing for each episode feels like a bridge to the next episode. My favorite episode has to go to 'Unforgotten" because this is where we once again get the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron with Windblade watching. The writing for the episode in my opinion was very good and in a way they could have gotten away with the three characters just having a conversation which was the episode was almost like it shows why you got two great characters in Optimus Prime and Megatron because the two can just get away with having a conversation and fans will still be on their seats.

The series brings in new and classic characters like watching a comic book coming to life while the first felt weak for a series it did get better in the later episodes.Some of the writing is good with smart quotes that help explain the feud of the Transformers. Each character has their own goal to which you have to keep watching to find out what happens next.

The animation is a range from good to mix but they try to be creative with the work like bringing a comic book to life and the voice work is sometimes a mix but again they try their best considering the limits of the show.

The story is the main driving point of Transformers: Combiner Wars so give it a try is it the best Transformers series? No but if you give it a chance you might be surprise how this is more than meets the eye
