Transformers Prime (2010–2013)
7/10
A lot of fun, but then there's Miko

Warning: Spoilers
A really fresh and new take on The Transformers.

New animation and new graphics, plus addition of new characters have been really enjoyable to watch.

Even the continuing Megatron and Starscream "saga" has been reinvented, to a degree, and interesting to behold.

Even having human kids interacting has been fun, but there is one big issue.

That would be the character Miko.

At first, like the rest, she seemed fun and entertaining, but as the series continued her character really devolved. I am unsure what the writes were going for, but her continued impulsiveness, selfishness, and narcissistic tendencies continued to put everyone in danger, almost getting everyone killed multiple times. Don't worry though, her actions are quite costly in many ways. Not only was this not addressed, but she never seemed to change. Her behavior was borderline oppositional defiant, a type of sociopathology, where she shows not only a total disregard for authority, but almost contempt for it at times. It is was neither fun nor entertaining, but upsetting to watch. She bullies her way around, both the Autobots and the humans. I can overlook Ralf understanding Bumblebee, a Decepticon clone army, Optimus trying to do what is painfully right, the "evil humans" trying to construct something way out of their league", but this characters nonsense was just too much. It acted like a distraction, not an addition. I kept waiting for them to reveal she was actually some Decepticon spy.
