Ok, I gave Armada a chance. I watched up to episode 3.

I'm sorry, but it's way too kiddy and repetitive. Find the Mini-Cons! Oh God, don't let Megatron find them! Ooooohhh!!! Um, no.

Really awesome concept, but really bad execution.

I'm afraid the only thing I liked about Armada were Megatron's and Starscream's designs, and Megatron's voice.

And seriously, those kids are re-tard-ed. If I was Optimus Prime I'd be like, STFU, give me the Mini-Cons, and then you can go on with your pathetic little lives. I mean, God, 12 or not, kids that age are not that fucking stupid. I was not that stupid at 12. Sure, maybe a little immature, hyper, and silly, but I wasn't stupid. Let's see... at 12 I was in... end of 6th grade, most of 7th grade. Uh... That was the best year of my entire academic career so far. That was the year I started writing. My first story was over 100 pages, and I was 12 when I wrote it, and aside from the beginning lacking only because I had just started writing, that story wasn't that damn bad either. STUPID SHOW WRITERS AND THEIR STEREOTYPICAL VIEWS OF CHILDREN. NOT ALL CHILDREN ARE FUCKTARDS, OK?! Well, actually, in America most of them are fucktards, but I won't get in to that.
The kids in Armada are not 12!! They act like 8 year olds! GEEZ, GET YOUR AGES STRAIGHT YOU DOUCHES!

Also, the animation bugged the hell out of me. The transformations were like fucking Sailor Moon- no, actually, they beat Sailor Moon in obnoxiousness because they actually managed to be longer with all the fucking Mini-Con features and crap. C'MON, I DON'T WANT TO WATCH YOU TRANSFORM FOR FIVE MINUTES WHEN I COULD BE SEEING SOME ACTION. And seriously, if transformations took that fucking long, I think every Transformer would have died because they just would have picked each other off while they were transforming.
As for the actual animation... They made the robots move like a Godzilla made of molasses in January. WTF?! They're alien robots, they're allowed to be fast and agile, people.

Ok, I'm done ranting about Armada. I like the concept of the Mini-Cons, it's just the idea was executed horribly and in a very unoriginal way. Armada fans out there, don't kill me. I don't hate Armada, it's just I think it could have been executed in a much more creative and original way. And they could have made the kids more intelligent, and less like the stereotypical dumb-little-kid-that-wants-to-be-a-hero that's in just about every cartoon in existence.
