It wasn’t horrible!
For all the restrictions that seem to be in play, the writers are clearly doing their best within this “sandbox” and trying to do the most with what they got. It was refreshing to see characters with a bit of humor and personality and not simply regurgitating past performances. Even Bumblebee stayed just out of being too annoying.
Animation was nicely fluid, if not terribly complex. Again, there is clearly strong budget restrictions, but the production team are clearly trying to make the most of it (I guarantee that the Cyberglyphs on Prime’s side view mirrors will translate to “Objects Closer than they appear” as part of the Jurassic Park reference).
The game angle is an interesting take, and it makes me surprised we haven’t heard about a full blown game adaption of the concept (maybe a “not yet” thing?).
For a weekly hit of Robots in Disguise…I’m here for it.

Games take awhile to make these days, it'd be difficult to get a high quality game out in the two years it took toconcieve and make this toyline. Even Battlegrounds came out two years after Cyberverse premiered.
What are the odds that Ethan Zachary will show up?
I have serious reboot fatigue. It's been hard for me to care about new Transformers continuities because I know they're just going to come and go. I know they're not even hoping to make it a long-term ongoing thing. The new thing will get three seasons if they're lucky. Probably no sequel. We'll probably never see the future the characters are trying to build. They'll get there and immediately it's over, finished. Swept aside for the next short term thing. I'll never think about it again.
But this? I'm in. This is great.

If the pacing remains like this, it can work.
