[edit]I've locked the page because... that note should really be discussed here. --abates 07:07, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- I'm not sure if it should stay since it's just an opinion, and the creators of the video don't have professional software like Hasbro or whoever made the original commercial. Maybe it's just me but I don't really see much differentiating them. --NCZ 07:19, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- Uhm. Randall Ng is a professional 3D animator. He has access to professional software. Professional software over 10 years ahead of what they had in 1993. Randomus Prime just happens to be Randall Ng, hence... --Detour 08:18, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- I say keep it. ---Blackout- 11:25, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- Get rid of it. It is completely unnecessary. --KilMichaelMcC 16:27, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- He is professional? Huh, I didn't know that. But anyway, the comment just seems a bit nitpicky to me. --NCZ 16:31, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- I'd just as soon lose it.--Jimsorenson 16:34, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- I'm not wedded to the idea of keeping it. If there's a major reason the characters' movements are stiffer, I think it's because in the original ad, they were moving in an exaggerated manner. --abates 19:03, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- I would assume the character's movements being stiffer or whatever other shortcomings we're insisting on pointing out for some some reason just might have something to do with the G2 commercials having been a major nationwide television campaign from a large corporation, vs some web ads for a convention. I mean, would even the advances in technology since 1993 make up for the surely huge budgetary gap that must exist between the two? --KilMichaelMcC 19:30, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- If Energon gets a big section dedicated to how bad the animation is, I don't see why this should get a free pass for just a small note about it. --Detour 19:48, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- But Energon was an official, big-budget Hasbro cartoon, not a (presumably) small-budget promo. --NCZ 21:34, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- Yeah, it was done by a professional animation company for television screening and is largely derided by fans for its poor quality. This is a small budget promo done by one or two guys, probably in their spare time, to be put up on YouTube to promote a con. Nitpicking its quality just seems like poor sport to me. --abates 21:49, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- So "nix it" is the verdict? (Two votes to stay, four to kill it.) --NCZ 21:53, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
- Make that vote five to nix it. --Lonegamer78 22:52, 4 June 2010 (EDT)

You know what, the voting is pretty clear to remove it. Let's unlock the page and get rid of it once and for all. --Jimsorenson 22:35, 5 June 2010 (EDT)
- I did that yesterday. :) --abates 22:40, 5 June 2010 (EDT)
- That's because you are both a gentleman and a scholar, and I was looking at an older version of the page somehow. --Jimsorenson 23:13, 5 June 2010 (EDT)
Title
[edit]Where does it come from? I ask because the YouTube video title is "BotCon 2010 - Generation 2: Redux". —Interrobang 01:43, 11 October 2010 (EDT)
