Why do people not like rid2015? Cause it's really hard to find stuff about sideswipe ( my baby ❤️)
I wouldn't say I don't like it, but I definitely see the flaws such as
It somehow being more pro-cop propaganda than rescue bots where they're literal cops and firefighters and stuff, this is honestly my main criticism of rid15 and I've talked about it before
he lore being a bit different than tfp even though it's supposed to be a direct sequel, and at times the lore gets messy
The animation style being not what people expected
I can see issues regarding tone because while it's more lighthearted than tfp it suddenly shifts in s4, I can see why people thoroughly expected it to be more like tfp when in actuality it's for a younger targeted audience
Some of the main characters are pretty divergent from other iterations of them, such as Grimlock
It just didn't click with a lot of people, especially previous tfp fans.
Probably other stuff too
There's probably more, but I'm going to share the reasons why I personally find it interesting
Sheer bias, I grew up with rid15 with scattered bits of it I watched on cable and it being one of the three transformers shows on Netflix.
I feel like it gets super creative with the Decepticons, with some very cool design elements like frequently utilizing biolights and playing with optic colors a lot (two of the best ways to win me over sfdsdf)
in my opinion the rid15 decepticons are better than the rid15 autobots. There's characters who beforehand were relatively obscure and now got a second chance in a far more popular medium, like Crazybolt and Thunderhoof.
Not to mention entirely new characters like Vertebreak, Nightra, and Zizza. And Vertebreak again. I like Vertebreak
Some of the lore (especially regarding the colony worlds, beastformers, and in general the decepticons) is interesting, even if some of it diverges some from tfp
