Oh, it's bad, but there's also the one part in
Atlantis, Arise! where
Optimus watches Optimus run towards the Washington Monument, and of course
this shot for your dose of "wasn't there supposed to be one more cel here eh probably doesn't matter."
Could be worse,
could be Energon. That cartoon is truly amazing in its limitless ability to find new ways of sucking.

My theory has always been that it was conceived of as a
Spy Kids knock-off and the script hastily adapted when they got the
Thunderbirds licence. It's either that or the standard belief in media that kids can't identify with a movie unless there's a kid character, even though everyone who was ever a fan of
Thunderbirds as a kid wanted to be one of the pilots, not some kid tagging along and getting in the way. And I guess it's the same live-action-uber-alles idea that's made Hollywood do any number of cartoon adaptation movies that only really showed why the original was a cartoon to begin with.
