Author's Response:
First of all, thanks for all the constructive criticisms. Normally it's just "this was good lololol" or "this sucks, and by extension, so do you."
I really listened to what viewers said the first time around and implemented subtitles and actual transforming Transformers. I was still a fairly inexperienced animator at the time, but it was a big step forward to actually animate them.
Plot isn't something I really focused on in the first two SRM Transformers flashes. They were just two little projects I wanted to put out that happened to blossom into a fairly successful series. However, if you watch the original Transformers, it was all about showing off the new toys (in a literal sense as well as metaphorical) and having the robots fight each other, as opposed to creating a strong story to focus the cartoon around. I have made much more effort into making stories in the third and fourth parts of this series, so watch those if you wish.
Sorry the flash didn't appeal to you. I don't see anything wrong with being "far too silly" as it's intended to be a comedy. As for graphical updates, I don't update every time I make a new flash. That's ludicrous. I don't think you'll find many people on Newgrounds that do that, or at least not people who make series-based flashes. Watch Homestar Runner - there have been half a dozen graphical upgrades since that series began, and it started close to a decade ago.
Sorry you didn't like it - give my other flashes a chance if you will. Thanks for writing a lengthy review, but frankly I made this flash a pretty long time ago so some of your criticisms have been addressed already.
