Rescue Bots, my son's entrance into Transformers

So my son has a new favorite show, to the point that I scored huge points when I not only was willing to watch it with him, but got him some of the figures for his birthday. His new favorite show is Rescue Bots, and at first glance it is nothing more than another attempt to ruin a series from my childhood by trying to make it for todays children. On a second glance however the premise is pretty good, and the humor, learning, and plot in general goes beyond your normal kids shows.
They took the basic Transformers idea, added in cameos from Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and added in futuristic technology and a great voice cast. Come on, they have Lavar Burton, Tim Currey, Mark Hammil, Lacy Chabert all on there, you can't get much better than that, plus Optimus Prime is voiced by Peter Cullen, you know, the original voice of Optimus Prime.
The premise is that the AutoBots are currently in hiding on earth, so the town that these bots are assigned to is not to know that they are sentient beings. They must act like they are man made robots when around the public. The first one besides the Police Chief to find out thier true origin is his young son. Thus attaching the young viewers to a charator they can get to know. The show also makes it that these particular auto bots no nothing of the human world so they constantly have to have things explained and taught to them, which also helps to teach and explain these things to the young viewers.
I find this show thoroughly enjoyable, and even find the theme song incredibly catchy. If you are a fan of Transformers then I would suggest you introduce your kids to Rescue Bots, it is a great segway into the shows of your childhood, and adds another layer to bonding with your kids on a nerdy level. You don't even need Bloodwine to enjoy it.
