Transformers Earthspark Season 2 Trailer Confirms Hashtag's New Form

Postby william-james88 » Wed May 15, 2024 7:36 am

Motto: "'till All Are One"
Paramount released a trailer for Season 2 of Transformers Earthspark. In it, we can see some of the toys that were previously revealed, like Hashtag's new alt mode being a pickup truck.

We also have a synopsis of each episode, which also explains why Hashtag changed alt mode.





Episode 1:
One year after Mandroid's defeat and the Emberstone's shattering, the Maltos go on a search for the shards. When a Decepticon creates a new foe from a broken shard, the Maltos realize life in Witwicky is about to be chaotic.

Episode 2:
While searching for Emberstone shards, Mo and Thrash stumble upon ancient ruins where a Quintesson Executioner lay in stasis. The duo try to care for the creature, after it follows them home but they fail to realize it has a plan of its own.

Episode 3:
Hashtag helps the Autobots get rid of all the old GHOST stuff around base, which has her feeling like her GHOST van alt-mode is obsolete too. Meanwhile, Shockwave needs to acquire a GHOST hard drive that holds a key to Starscream's master plan.

Episode 4:
Robby, Mo, Twitch, and Thrash attend a carnival where Robby develops a crush on a new student, while Twitch, Thrash, and Mo encounter trouble with the carnival's Fairmaster. As the heroes battle Fairmaestro, they unlock a new power: cyber-syncing.

Episode 5:
Jawbreaker wants to cyber-sync, but he's left out. Walking home, he saves Aftermath from a woodland monster. The two spend the day together and accidentally sync into one awkward bot.

Episode 7:
Twitch and Spitfire accidentally swap bodies; it's hard for both to avoid getting caught behind enemy lines; the Decepticons plan to attack Twitch's friends and allies.

Episode 8:
Optimus lands a prestigious photoshoot, so Robby and Hashtag take his battle worn trailer to get detailed. Unfortunately, the Decepticons steal it from them, leading the kids to race the clock to get it back in one piece.

Episode 9/10:
Mo and Hashtag find a giant secret beneath Witwicky, and Starscream plans to use it for evil. To do so, Starscream needs to rebuild the shattered Emberstone. Robby rallies his family and the Autobots to stop him, and end the chaos once and for all.

Well the Hashtag thing makes more sense now! Glad she’s getting an alt that’s more “her”, I’m sure that’ll be an interesting little arc. Seriously excited for season 2 and the new terrans, I love the lore of this series so much.

I'm certain it will be. It would make sense however to play this trailer (along with other ads) before the 40th anniversary show actually starts. I thought I heard some odd rumor they were going to play it at the conclusion of the show, which seems odd. I'm thinking a lot of people get up and leave if that's the case.

Apparently, making this show hasn't actually been a very fun experience for the production crew. If you look at the credits for season 1 and season 2, you'll notice a massive shift in the crew who made season 1 and the crew who made season 2, with several people behind the first season just gone and several new people added to the second season who did not work on the first. The first season was animated by Icon Creative Studio in Canada, but season 2 switched to being animated by 88 Pictures in India. The series' CG Supervisor Michael Launder gave this explanation for why there was such a drastic change in production between the two seasons:

https://twitter.com/mtlaunder/status/1799443950358692082

hasbro and nick decided to switch to a new studio as the mental health and well being of icon and the nick team was suffering during S1.
Yikes.

I just finished watching the latest batch of episodes. Overall, not too bad. The Chaos Terrans were an interesting new addition, and seeing Starscream acting as the big bad was a nice switch. Terratronis was a pretty big surprise. I'm hoping there's more episodes so we can see more of her.

Luckily, this is Part 1 of 3 for Season 2.

I still need to watch it, though I admit, as soon as I found out about the visuals changing companies and seeing that that change definitely impacted the quality, I haven't been in a rush to watch

Do we know for sure S2 is a full 26 episode season? With the sale of eOne, it certainly could have been cut short.

For instance with Young Justice back in 2012 Imbecilic Executives at CN cut the second season from 26 to just 20 episodes. There's many other examples I could site, but unlike YJ, if the show isn't popular, and the toys aren't selling (YJ really didn't have any merch, which is why that claim doesn't make sense), Earthspark could definitely have been cut short.

Watched season 1 on Netflix, it was good! Pretty wholesome.
Nice mix of slice of life stuff, similar to Rescue Bots. The stakes feel believable.
The one thing I not sure if this series is fully begginer friendly. The Maltos can ask questions the viewers or kids could have, but I feel this series expects you to be familiar with Transformers lore in general in other parts, like how Megatron abused Starscream.

I just finished the first season of Earthspark and the first episode of season 2. I want SO HARD to like this show, I really do. I love the fact that we're getting a postwar story on TV. I love that the franchise is trying new things and evolving past The Great War. BUT...

I feel like the show is sidelining the ACTUAL INTERESTING stuff to focus on baby Transformer "edutainment" hijinks. Optimus and Megatron working together? Awesome, but hardly on screen. Optimus and Megatron talk all the time about not trusting GHOST, but we never see the GHOST agents actually DO anything worth questioning their ethics aside from occasionally standing menacingly in dark rooms.

Dot Malto is a badass, I love her. Her husband though is a moronic chump and his fanboying and merchandise collecting is utterly ridiculous. Why would there even BE TF merch in a world where TFs exist? Mo is okay but her giant eyes are creepy as ****, Robbie is... just there. Twitch is cool, but Thrash is another "just there" character.

During the finale when Megatron was strapped to a table and being cut up by laser, Dot sabotauged the laser, and Megatron was still stuck to the table while Mandroid worked to fix it. During the rescue though, someone shot the laser, and Megatron... just stood up? No straps were holding him down? Why did he just lie there the first time? I had to scream at that. The overall narrative of the series is good, but so often the writers take shortcuts just like the example above because I assume they think the dumb kids watching won't notice or care and it just drives me NUTS.

That doesn't sound at all like the Season 1 finale.

Yikes.


What could it be, to make a dedicated and talented team just give up? Overwork? I'm guessing that certain higher-ups kept changing the script because of their peculiar values and lack of talent, so the animators had to redo their work, possibly many times. My brother is a video editor so he has to deal with this kind of thing regularly.

I just saw the episode with Tarantulas. And while it was a great showcase for Nightshade and honestly made me tempted to get the toy, they did my boy Tarantulas dirty. I know better in this fandom to complain about a character being different from past incarnations, but this Tarantulas is not just different, he's bland. They could have put just about any Decepticon in that role. It was so less interesting than the gleeful sicko. I kept hoping Tarantulas would show us something... naughty.

Loved the way they animated his mandibles though.

Just so you know, you're still in Season 1. It's 26 episodes.

Paramount+ lists this as season 2.
Season 1 was split into three upload batches:
  • Season 1 Part 1 = Episodes 1-10 (11/22/2022)
  • Season 1 Part 2 = Episodes 11-18 (03/03/2023)
  • Season 1 Part 3 = Episodes 19-26 (07/28/2023)
Season 2 proper went into production after these 26 were completed, and was made by a different studio altogether. Its first batch of ten episodes was released last month on June 7, 2024, 11 months later as opposed to the 4-month intervals of the first three batches.

One moment I'm suprised that wasn't brought up again: in "Security Protocols" , Agent Schloder mentions that GHOST is going to increase security around Witwicky, so that's why Bumblebee had to leave, but in "Home" the Maltos go in and out of Witwicky, carring Bumblebee on their way back, without GHOST noticing.

Earthspark reminds me of TF Prime in many ways, but is somewhat worse.

Pros:
Bumblebee can talk.
Good TF designs, a nice blend of simplicity and flare.
Mostly good voicework and facial animations that convey emotion well.
Atypical post-Great War stories that go beyond the standard Autobot/Decepticon fights.
Bumblebee can talk.


Cons:
Megatron's personality and voice are completely wrong and jarring.
Too much focus on humans and their family issues... and transposing those on TFs.
The environment/background design is a bit too clean and bucolic, and looks like bad 2010s CGI or some mobile farm sim game.
The "kiddy" Earth-born TFs were a mistake.

Overall a 6.5/10 from me.

Re: Transformers Earthspark Show Discussion Thread

It seems EarthSpark may not be ending as soon as we originally thought.

Nick Roche has made a couple of tweets that say he's currently doing some work for EarthSpark ("On the Earthspark treadmill") and, when asked which season of the show he's working on, he cryptically answered "Cannot confirm which season I'm working on... !"

That exclamation point at the end also sounds like he's pretty excited for what this might be.
