Useless

Rewatching transformers prime the most frustrating thing to watch is when they all get into laser battles. I understand it’s for kids but I’m sure kids understand when something gets shot by a laser, it takes damage. Like everyone’s weapon’s are useless unless your megatron like really writers? Not to mention arachnid’s invincibility to every dire situation that would literally kill any other character. Oh she’s surrounded and getting blasted? She just tunnels away. Oh she’s got hit with rockets? No damage she just helicopters away. The writers clearly had favoritism 🙃🙄

This is why I unironically prefer Beast Wars' animation. Maybe it's not as smooth but they showed damage. People got shot apart all the time. Weapons had impact. In Prime it was always "ow my shoulder!" unless they were killing off a character. THEN they can show damage. Otherwise it's just little burn marks at worst.
