It's entirely possible that following the airing in the US yesterday that this may or may not be available via popular bit torrent websites now. It may be possible that nefarious individuals may or may not be downloading it right now. Not me, of course, as that would be illegal and contribute to terrorism or something. I'm just saying, is all.

Is it on the Broadband Channel?
I have not had any luck finding a channel which isn't scrambled.

It may be possible that individuals like myself cannot seem to find a decent torrent.
This is...of course...hypothetical.

Never mind. I found where I had to register, and I should be ready to watch some big chinned transformers within 90 mins.

Pleasantly surprising. More like that and I won't complain.

Will hopefully be blessed with bendy bodied, girt chinned giant robot action within a couple of hours.
I hope it RULES anyway.

Just sat down and enjoyed the spectacle that was Transformers Animated. I have to say i was pleasantly surprised. It reminded me of everything that Armada tried...but this time it was all good! The kid wasn't annoying...the jokes were reasonably funny...plus Optimus actually got to use his axe! Hooray!

OMG! I haven't been so excited about Transformers since I saw the Beast Wars in the Informer G2. ;D ;D
That was so much better than I expected. Love how it steals a bit from everywhere but comes out feeling fresh and genuinely fresh. Takes the original crash on Earth concept and dresses it up with the new movie vibe, Megatron and the allspark (while turning the allspark into a more recognisable matrix) then throws in a pinch of Beast Wars with BA and Prime not being the supreme Autobot leader.
If only Armada had had quality animation like this, your right it tried the same sort of reboot as this and just failed so horribly.
I loved Starscream. "Solemn face, solemn face"
Loved, just how scary the Decepticons are in there introduction, despite being funny and bickering and later on as they kick arse continually.
Lots of nice little homages too, the history vid and Spike, Daniel and Carly's cameo I caught first time round.
Can't wait for the next episode.
Andy
Edit: Could have done without Sari's key being used quite so often. Otherwise I can't think of any negatives.

I watched this earlier this afternoon, and I must say that I was presently surprised. I wasn't expecting much from this show, given the fact it is in the "Spongebob" style of animation, for lack of a better term, that is popular with kids these days,.
The characters seemed to have some depth to them, as well as some of the best voice acting I have heard since on TF since the original series ended. Bogtan made so many points that I was going to note, so I won't reiterate them.
Every time I saw Starscream, all I could think of was how much he looked like Jimmy Hill, which really did help with making him look more evil. Being a Scot, none of use like that big chinned cretin, so the similarities make add to that traitorous swine that is Starscream.
The only thing that I really hated was the way the kids were animated. Instead of looking human, they looked like rejects from the garbage pale kids.

Burning a DVD to watch downstairs later. I'll post here about what RULES and what does'nt after the viewing.
Thanks for keeping spoilers down to a minimum guys. Perhaps there should be a separate thread for those maybe.

The only quibble I had was the lack of a title sequence, or indeed the name of the show.

Was it missing from the episode or has it just been cut by the people who uploaded it to youtube/torrents?

I'd also like to state at this early stage that Blitzwing is my favourite character for two reasons:
1: He reminds me of Man-E-Faces, one of my favourites from MOTU
2: He has a thick German accent for no reason.

I too approve of characters with thick German accents for no reason.

Splendid stuff. The perfect antidote to the grotty feeling I have been enduring the last two days.

Watched this last night. Absolutely top stuff. I was surprised how good the script was (aided significantly by the voice actors actually being able to interact while recording) although there were a couple of story elements that I felt could have been explained better. The animation wasn't quite as good as I was expecting early on, but it became clear towards the end that they were saving all their cash/time for the blistering, knock-down-drag-out fight at the end.
I'll be downloading every new episode as soon as it airs. When does the series proper start again?

Rather impressed with the premiere for "Animated" - a good pacy show with decent animation, and also some rather nice direction (an oft-overlooked matter, but it still important in animation). A nice mix of action, characterisation (more of that than I was expecting to be honest) and humour ("I'm Sari., "Don't be, I like my name." amused me).
Fun stuff - the best Transformers show since "Robots in Disguise" I'd say.

I watched the first ten minutes or so, but decided it wasn't really for me as soon as Blitzwing showed up and started talking. Shame, as I really like the animation.
When the show is broadcast in the UK "properly" I will likely give it another go.
