I'm a big enough Transformers geek to own the complete original series on disc (at some cost!!), as well as the 80s movie and the Bay 'stuff' (plus Bumblebee).
Watched Episode 1, such a relief that it didn’t have any kid-friendly comic relief or wacky sidekicks.
Reminded me more of the marvel comic books I loved as a kid, full of the history of Cybertron.
It's 1080p. Not 4k
I checked. 1080p 5.9 mbps (or thereabouts) but it still looked amazing.
Only watched the first couple of episodes are it was a hot, sunny (beer-y) day yesterday.
Thought it was brilliant and reminded me of the old comics too.
I got very excited to see Jetfire in the first epsiode, as he was probably my favourite as a kid and was done a complete disservise in revenge of the fallen.
Was also suprised that they called him Jetfire rather than Skyfire!
Either the legal thing doesn't matter any more or Netflix must do a lot of localisation.
Maybe it was my fanboy excitement (and beers) but the Atmos sounded amazing to me. During the sequences with moving objects and the rain sequence it was as though my ears could track everything around the room, exactly as it should be. Maybe it's placebo, or maybe it's something to do with the way the sound track was created and mixed. I have a 7.1.4 setup btw.
Character voices were pretty good too, similar to the old cartoon. Good effort with Soundwave.
Just finished, absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for the other two seasons.
I remember getting a jetfire figure as a kid having no idea who he was, all the armour etc. Dispite having all seasons of the original series on DVD I still don't recall him in it!
Looked and sounded great and that's on a simple 5.1 1080p setup. Awesome

Random memory, but apart from the coolness, the thing I will never forget about the toy was that the springs on the wheels were were really strong.
If you triggered it wrong they could fly out at speed and hit you on the fingernails, which was quite painful!
I'm sure in the comic he was a scientist who used to work for the decepticons. I think they actually found him buried in ice but it was a long time ago! haha.
Watched the first 3 episodes last night, looks great although there is the odd bit of cheaper looking bits of animation when it comes to fast movement scenes. I also find the moving midsection on prime and megatron a bit odd/unnecessary. Will probably finish the rest tonight. If any wants some other modern Gen 1 animation check out the prime wars trilogy on you tube, it was a web series with decent production/CGI animation.
