TFP was entirely (besides 2-3 flashbacks) 3D and it’s budget was 400k per episode in the beginning. Assuming that you took away reflective surfaces, 3D background, VFX, SFX, 3D Humans, Lighting, you’d be left with a budget of less than 80000. Assuming 40% goes to the broadcasters and 15% to hasbro, you’d have a budget of 36000$. There are around 73 characters excluding humans, which means the budget per character is 602,73$ but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was lower than this.

I've currently just witnessed a bunch of these moments because I was rewatching the whole Armada-Energon continuity and I witnessed what I call "Armada moments" several times and I was like "what's going on?". Thanks for this lol

The Normal Animation in Transformers Energon definitely was a Thousand Times Better than The Actual Animation used in The Show Because it has the same feel as Transformers Armada. It was felt strange that Transformers Energon was supposed to a Sequel To Transformers Energon and had Different Animation. Now I didn’t hate Animation in Transformers Energon just The Normal Animation works better.

I think they should have stuck to old-school animation for Energon and Cybertron.

2D Animation. Just in Transformers Armada.

If they'd kept the CG to a bare minimum, and given the show a better executed story and character development (along with a better dub, of course), it might've had potential. I know, 2D animation ain't cheap, especially considering it's a TV series after all, but hey, we can dream of there being a reanimation project replacing the vast majority of 3D scenes with 2D.

they could've saved so much money if they animated instead of the shitty cgi. i guess they tried to do what beast wars did but they were able to do it because they had a juicy story and a delicious dub.
