Breaking boundaries with new technology that can go wrong at any time is sometimes scary, but not as scary as the thought of me living in a future without new technology... The formal education system is killing the spirit of discovery, and I object to people running down the future! I'm going to be spending the rest of my life there! (I think this is why my friends call me Wheeljack, haha)
My favorite is the G1 series... Despite all the continuity errors, I thought the simple plot in each episode was always something interesting. There weren't a lot of episodes with the same thing happening over and over. TF Prime has a good plot and awesome special effects, TF Cybertron was great too... TF Animated drives me nuts to no end! I'm a mechanical engineer (you probably figured that out already) and I HATE the structurally unstable designs and the use of the word "servo" to refer to every mechanical part the script writers didn't know the name of! A servo is not a hand, it is not a foot, it is a special electric motor with a specific type of circuit board used to control it! Jeez people, get it right!

Yeah thats very true lol. I could tell you where an engineer lol. I can understand what your saying for sure. They always dumb down those shows for the kids thats what I think anyways. It makes me wonder how many kids grew up to work with robotics and become Engineers just because of shows like Transformers 
.
.They shouldn't dumb down the shows for kids too much, though... I mean, obviously they aren't going to have Transformers be packed full of information about astrophysics, quantum physics, and the mechanical physics behind Cybertronian spaceships, but I think shows should be both fun and educational at the same time! A good thing to do would be to name the basic parts of a machine/robot PROPERLY... Actuator, motor, sensor, control system, etc... Those are all very basic machine parts, and if the terms were applied properly to Transformers, kids could watch a fun show and learn some simple information about machines at the same time, instead of learning to walk past a water pipe and say "Look, Mommy, a servo!"
