I'm a huge fan of the original transformers, i have transformers the movie on tape somewhere and if i'm honest is one of my favourite films, loads of cool moments in it. The new one is yet another live action CGI cash in, some are good, some not so good (Ghost Rider?) I do like what they've done with the more recent transformers series. Went back to mainly hand drawn look animation (it's probably 3d models with the line drawing render used) but the story lines have been pretty good, even to bringing back unicron a little while back.
Just watched the two trailers on the site, lots of things explodng and being trashed by big robots. I like the Beagle 2 connection from the second trailer though, makes it seem almost plausible!
I hope they have put a half decent storyline with it, and the special effects should carry the rest.
Another animated series i have liked that was on sky a little while back was Zoids. But that said i'm a big fan of anything vaguely anime. Akira, Robotech, The Guyver, Laputa castle in the sky, Detonator Orgun etc.
