History YMMV / TransformersCybertron

** But mainly, there's the phenomenon that the Transformers Wiki calls "[[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fighting_spirit Fighting Spirit]]". ''Galaxy Force'' was the most "Anime" of the Japan-original ''Transformers'' series by far, and the reality-bending powers of ''[[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve wanting something really really hard]]'' could make virtually ''anything'' happen, with [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight no one treating it as unusual]]. For ''Cybertron'', this is excised by tying the effects to artifacts that could actually ''do'' the things that happened for [[AWizardDidIt no reason at all]] when someone [[ScreamingWarrior yelled or grunted]] in the original. It was done so perfectly seamlessly you'd be shocked if you knew the full extent. The same applies to the concept of the 'Omega Frequency', which is also dub original but you would not know it just by watching.

* BrokenBase: The dub. While most fans agreed that the ''Cybertron'' dub was of significantly better quality than ''Energon'' or ''Armada'' others were not very fond of it adjusting with the original script of ''Galaxy Force'', to the point of reworking entire scenes at points, [[FillingTheSilence adding swathes of new dialogue]] during every TransformationSequence, and so on. This naturally creates controversy, especially when ''Galaxy Force'' had enough of a lead that fansubbers could get to watch it first. For instance, the show's general use of SuperRobot tropes (particularly JapaneseSpirit and just about everyone being able to use BattleAura) was [[DoingInTheWizard rewritten into more sci-fi elements]], which pleased the people who found those tropes stupid and baffling, but irritated the people who liked those tropes and found the rewrites more mocking than necessary. There was also the many cases of AccentAdaptation (some of which weren't present in earlier ''Unicron Trilogy'' shows) and some characters getting their personalities retooled, which either fleshed out the cast or made the series even more silly than ''Galaxy Force'' ever was. Ultimately the series reputation is between dub watchers who like the extensive use of {{Woolseyism}} tricks to add flavor to transformation sequences and explaining odd phenomenons better, and sub fans who prefer the original version without the influx of self-aware humor and explaining SuperRobot tropes.

* OneSceneWonder: While he technically had a few scenes, Signal Lancer made the most of his final appearance, getting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6iC_uae1G8 his own transformation sequence]].

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Some fans considered it an improvement over "Armada" and "Energon". Nearly all fans would agree that the dub is the most coherent and the series lacking the most egregious of art problems of the the trilogy.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aGTDBkQvP4 Jet Black Land]]", the theme used for the various lost colony ships and other ancient Cybertronian mysteries is essentially the beginning of ''Series/TheXFiles'' theme repeated over and over on a higher note.

** In Galaxy Force, Menasor was simply there to be a Giant Planet Decepticon before making a HeelFaceTurn. Cybertron uses FillingTheSilence to expand him into a WellIntentionedExtremist who thinks the world’s way of working needs overhauling.

* MemeticBadass: Signal Lancer who's alternate mode is just a set of traffic lights is often regarded as some legendary hero thanks to his memorable speech and transformation sequence[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6iC_uae1G8]]

* BrokenBase: The dub. While some fans agreed that the ''Cybertron'' dub was of significantly better quality than ''Energon'' or ''Armada'' they were not very fond of it playing merry havoc with the original script of ''Galaxy Force'', to the point of reworking entire scenes at points, [[FillingTheSilence adding swathes of new dialogue]] during every TransformationSequence, and so on.

* BrokenBase: The dub. It's pretty much universally agreed that the ''Cybertron'' dub was of significantly better quality than ''Energon'' or ''Armada''; scripts came in on time, dialogue sounded like actual dialogue and not just stiff translations, and so on. However, ''Cybertron'' was also very fond of playing merry havoc with the original script of ''Galaxy Force'', to the point of reworking entire scenes at points, [[FillingTheSilence adding swathes of new dialogue]] during every TransformationSequence, and so on. This naturally creates controversy, especially when ''Galaxy Force'' had enough of a lead that fansubbers could get to watch it first.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Since it came after ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'', it'd be an improvement anyway. Even so, it's still pretty good.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Override is fairly popular as one of the more notable female characters during a time that was otherwise a drought for female Transformers outside of Arcee. She'd later go on to pop up in other TF-related media.
