Description
A ragtag group of AUTOBOTS led by OPTIMUS PRIME are in a remote sector of CYBERTRON cleaning space bridges when they stumble upon the most import artifact in TRANSFORMERS history; the ALLSPARK! The DECEPTICONS who are only scary myths for many AUTOBOTS are in hot pursuit of the ALLSPARK; now this new band of AUTOBOTS must fight for their lives and the future of CYBERTRON. The AUTOBOTS are able to escape the DECEPTICONS and crash land on an unknown planet called Earth. They land in Lake Erie and remain in stasis for 50 years. Meanwhile, MEGATRON, sabotaged by STARSCREAM lost the ALLSPARK and fell to Earth in scattered pieces. A young scientist named Isaac Sumdac discovers him and uses his technology to create the modern robotics industry in Detroit. The AUTOBOTS awaken from stasis, during an emergency. Deciding to help the new organic life forms, they convert into emergency vehicles and fight off a scary creature. Unable to stay in disguise they change into their robot forms able to save the day! In doing so, they become new celebrities and heroes to the humans. OPTIMUS PRIME and his band of AUTOBOTS make Detroit their adopted home and vow to protect the ALLSPARK and Earth from the DECEPTICONS and anyone else who try and cause chaos. MEGATRON comes online during all of the commotion and discovers his headless body in Isaac?s lab! AUTOBOTS hold the key to his rise and eventual rule of the universe!

An entertaining amalgam of the Transformers toy line, 1980s animated series and the live-action film by Michael Bay, Transformers Animated: Transform and Roll Out updates the venerable robot warriors without losing their core appeal to younger viewers. Sold as a feature film but actually the first three episodes of the Transformers Animated TV series, Transform and Roll Out re-imagines the Autobots as a misfit crew led by an untested Optimus Prime (voiced by David Kaye), who find the Allspark (the key to the Transformers' power) while clearing the way for a space bridge. The discovery brings the Decepticons on their trail, and the five Autobots (who include Bumblebee, Ratchet, Bulkhead and Prowl) decide to cool their jets for a half-century in Lake Erie. The action flashes forward when the Allspark is found by young Sari Sumdac (Tara Strong), whose scientist dad Isaac (Tom Kenney) is having some trouble with his robotic experiments, namely a monstrous cyber-cockroach that threatens Detroit. The heroes come to the rescue of humanity, but their actions also bring the villainous Starscream (also Kenney) to Earth for a crowd-pleasing Autobot-Decepticon showdown. As with any revival of an established and well-loved storyline, there's much to quibble over in Transformers Animated--there are fewer players on the board (though the number of Transformers increases over the course of the series), and the change in the characters' origins may raise some hackles among longtime fans (the manic Sari may also be an acquired taste). But as pure rock-em-sock-em action, Transformers Animated delivers the goods, which should satisfy newcomers to the Transformers' world, and also displays a welcome sense of humor. The latter gets a fun showcase in the two animated shorts which make up the DVD extras, the best of which pits Optimus Prime against an inquisitive classroom of children. --Paul Gaita

 not what i thought at all October 26, 2008
when i first saw the trailer of the up coming new transformer cartoon a was like ohh no,what the heck are they trying to pull,i say this cause ive allways been a true transformer fan since the first one back in 1984.i was thinking that they just dont know how to do it any more cause since transformers armada and energon where ok but the stories didnt cut it as transformer of the past that had great stories to tell of their past and possible futures,anyway i felt this new transformer cartoon was going to be nothing much again,but my 5 year old is a transformer nut and love anything transformers,she made me watch the transform and roll out first episode,and i was like hey not bad,nothing like the original ,but well made and funny to my surprise,i liked it and i started seeing as many as i could, and when the first dvd came out i thought why not collect this cartoon series as well,i mean why not, i dont think that the armada and energon where that great but i have to say i liked the cybertron series and i started collecting all of them. well it keeps me laughing i really enjoyed the transform and roll out dvd,it was really fun to watch.
Transformers Animated October 18, 2008
I'll admit that when I first saw this show advertised on TV, I was a little skeptical. But now that I've seen it on DVD, I really like it. The aniamtion's a little weird, but the series really gets back to the episodic storylines of the original Transformers. I recommend this DVD, and this series, to any Transformers fan.
Blast from the past... October 2, 2008

I loved transformers g1 growing up. I bought the G1 DVD's a few years back, and thought they were a little too violent for my 3 year old (even though he loved them). I caught this on Cartoon network by accident and thought it was perfect for him. He really likes it, and it brings back some memories for me. Good fun!
 Awful looking show! Was the budget ten dollars?!? September 30, 2008

This show looks so bad it seriously kills any type of involvement by the viewer. They look like misproportioned superheroes not robots. Any of the Decepticons could easily take over the Earth since people would be laughing so hard at how these "robots" look they couldn't stop them.
Transformers animated is better than I expected! August 23, 2008
Transformers animated is better than I expected.This new Transformers animated series is really good! I am suprised that cartoon has references to Transformers: Generation 1! Transform and Roll out is the three-part pilot episodes to Transformers Animated! This Cartoon is really good with references to G1! My only problem with this series the animation is not as good as the past Transformers cartoons. The animation feels more like a copy of Bruce Timm's Batman the animated series rather than being a different animated show. The animations is cute but not better. Despite this, I still like it! If your a Transformers fan, I highly recommend it! A
