Transformers: EarthSpark

From the clunkily shoe-horned in family politics to the bad character design, this version of Transformers is almost as bad as it could possibly get.

The human children are given pride of place, likely to appeal to fans of Ben 10 and similar shows. For the record, Ben 10 is much better than Transformers EarthSpark. Anyway, the focus is very much away from the transformers (a lot of the time anyway) so that the children can take centre stage.

The 80s show is still the best version of Transformers, by a long way. EarthSpark has far too much talking, to the point where one of my kids asked me if we were still watching Transformers. Yes, I said, though I could barely believe it myself.
