History YMMV / TransformersPrime

** Methinks RuinedForever is the rule, not the exception, with the [[UnpleasableFanbase Tranformers fandom.]]

** The same goes for the story. On one hand, some say it brings together the better aspects of previous Transformers cartoons, introduces new takes on established characters, includes awesome [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot alien robot zombies]], handles war and death maturely, and has lots of violence. It's the best goddamn Transformers cartoon ever. On the other hand, some say it recycles boring, overused formulas, clichéd characters that are inferior to their predecessors, and makes war seem like a game. It's a painful train-wreck, and you should be ashamed of yourself for watching it. However it is quite interesting to see how different fan sites react: on some, the lovers are way in the majority; on others, the show gets almost nothing but hate and apathy.

** In defense of Fred Tatasciore, ''Prime'' is "[[WordOfGod supposedly]]" set in the same universe as the ''War for Cybertron'' video game and he did voice Megatron (and Ratchet) in the game.
