This show is basically the Gundam SEED Destiny of the Transformers franchise

Speaking from someone who does like Micron Legend despite it not being a perfect show, the idea of Superlink as a series that followed the events that take place after Micron Legend does sound promising, and to this show's credit it starts out quite well plot-wise. Unfortunately, I find the show as a whole turned out quite disappointing both as a show on its own or as a follow-up of Micron Legend, and the show only turned out to be just like basically the Gundam SEED Destiny of the Transformers franchise.

  • Energon/Superlink has a good start, with a set-up of potentially cool plot threads and character arcs.

  • Its predecessor, Armada/Micron Legend does started out rough but manages to form an identity, and has a clearer flow plot-wise as it goes on.

  • Unfortunately, this show plot-wise was all over the place as it goes on; as if the writers had no clear idea of who they wanted the protagonist to be, so the story as a whole suffered.

  • For some reason, Superlink also likes to bring characters who die in Micron Legend back, for some reason even if it makes no sense narrative-wise.

  • The casts who returned from Micron Legend like C Onvoy or Hot Rod only ended up as a bland shell, or a more obnoxious caricature of themselves in Superlink.

  • The way Superlink uses character development was just abysmal, and all of the potentially interesting character arcs ended up getting nowhere or ended in a completely unsatisfying way.
