So let's start with the good (which isn't much, don't worry.) The premise isn't bad, although it's been done before. The robots are actually pretty cool, and their combined forms are also pretty cool.

Alright, now onto the bad.

First off (although this isn't necessarily a BAD thing,) it's very much obviously a Transformers rip-off.

Second off, you can see very clearly where all their money went-- the robots. The human's character models are all bland and the mouth animation isn't that great either. The voice acting is... sub-par, but that's okay for a show of this standard.

But you know what really grinds my gears?

THE WAY THEY TREAT THE ROBOTS.

I came here to see a Transformers rip-off with sentient robots. Did I get what I wanted? Yes, but only until the idea of "Titan" is revealed, and then suddenly the robots have almost no personality of their own, and now they only exist to make a new robot that makes toys.

(which i guess is the whole point, but sue me.) I have to admit that the whole arc leading up to combining Titan is kind of interesting, but only just barley.

And then came Tritan, a combination of the Tobots X, Y, and newcomer Z (who has some kind of accent that I can't quite place and it's MADDENING) therefore erasing the need for the robot's need for individual personalities at all.

In the end, I can see where they were going. And in the end, my review will amount to very little compared to the effort that went into this show. It's not a bad idea, it's just implemented not so well (I'm pretty sure) because of the budget.

Edit: One more star for trying.
