Absolute snorefest

Does ANYONE know how on earth did this show manage to gain so much positive hoo-hah over the years?

After having seen the series myself, I can tell you it's so incredibly boring and repetitive it makes even Armada look good. Basically every single episode has the exact same plot, only with the locations and, in occasion, characters switched around, with maybe five or six episodes having anything truly original happening.

This combined with the fact that the autobots come off with such smug, stiff gits it's just impossible to associate them at all.
