Animated Series discussion thread (spoilers allowed)

Some cartoon with big chins and a little girl that got beloved by fans and taken off TV to make way for a different show on another network. Yeah, that's fair.

Watch more Metalocalypse.

Don't really see what that has to do with Jetfire and Jetstorm... Besides, I'm not a fan of that show (or of most of the shows on Adult Swim anymore).

Ha, I hadn't even thought of that! Now I really hope for some variation of "Stops copies me!" in a future episode.

How were you not expecting that from the Twins' voices, Sparky? That's pretty much exactly how they were presented in the comic.

Also, it's Yoketron, for what it's worth.

I'm skipping the Animated toys so I haven't read the comic. Even so, reading a comic isn't exactly going to give you the voice they use in the cartoons.

I've seen it spelled like 50 different ways on various sites. I just picked the most recent one I'd seen.

Eh, in this case it did. Also, am I to assume that the style is the reason you're skipping the toys?

Credits, homie. Watch the credits.

I came across a few scans I still disagree the comics don't necessarily give a clear indication of voice. Case-in-point with Perceptor especially. At any rate, yeah I hate the style of Animated.

Metalocalypse is easily the best show on AS right now. It's relevant because Jetfire and Jetstorm talk exactly like Skwisgaar and Toki.

No, I agree with you that comics don't generally do that. But in the case of Jetfire and Jetstorm it did, since the comics made it pretty clear through written dialects that they were talking like foreign English-as-a-second-language guys.

Yeah... I just don't see it.

Ok... it still wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

I don't have a counterargument for this. Simply acknowledge that you are wrong and that Metalocalypse is awesome, and I will forgive you.
