Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for action fans, families and animation lovers. If you loved Generator Rex, start here.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 26 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
The show takes place ten years after the finale of Armada, opening in an age of peace on Cybertron and Earth which is destined not to last long. Energon pits the Autobots against an array of villains: the reborn Megatron , the barely functional Unicron, and the mysterious Alpha Q and his Terrorcon minions.
