BobProbst First Post Aug 21, 2008 #1 As I sat with my young son on the couch watching the "plot" of our first episode of the new Transformers: Animated series unfold, I couldn't help but state the obvious. "This is pretty freakin' lame," I said. He simply smiled and pointed out a Dinobot. He's three. Dinosaurs are an easy sell. As are robots. Particularly when they're brightly colored. Pat Benatar sang that hell is for children, and so, I say, are poorly conceived re-imaginings of classic toy franchises.
