Just finished watching Kingdom, and I definitely enjoyed it more than Earthrise. I thought the use of colour palates, animation was good for the most part, but some character models were average, especially in robot mode.
There were a lot of fun dynamics between characters from BW and G1 with cool nods from both series, as well as the animated film. Aside from Primal, BW Megatron, Blackarachnia, and Dinobot, the Maximals and Predacons don’t get much time to shine, aside from a few moments. There also a few interesting deviations from BW that I dug
The voice acting and characterizations are once again, a mixed bag. There are some pretty good examples like Dinobot, Blackarachnia, Rattrap, Starscream, Arcee, Megatron when he isn’t speaking so slowly, which is what he and Prime seem to do for dramatic effect a lot throughout the series.
The characters I did not like were Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal, Tigatron, and especially BW Megatron. Won’t even go into what they did to him, but the voice and personality were way off.
Storyline was probably the best and most fun out of the three for me, but I will say that it did feel rushed. I know there’s limitations with the amount of episodes and animation, but they should have given at least a few more episodes.
Overall I enjoyed it, and I wouldn’t say a continuation, especially with the ending.
7-7.5/10
