Anybody think Elita-1 model is a preview for a Earthrise Arcee retool for the Elita-1 figure that was listed for Netflix figures to come?

She looks more like Siege Chromia with a new head and cape/wings to me.

Besides, a pink fembot to another pink fembot would seem redundant from a marketing perspective.

But why do the images say "a Netflix original anime series"? This isn't an anime (at least, not by the western definition).

They like to call their animated shows for older audiences "anime". Pretty damn annoying really.

So what's the story with the secret letters?

Good question. So far, we've got the letters I, K, N, O, and M.

We're one A away from spelling "KONAMI", but I doubt that's it.

Looks like Elita-1 will be some kind of ER Arcee remold...

While I’m definitely going to watch this show. I don’t really fell hyped up about it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but she seems to be one of the only non-toy characters that we've seen so far (to appear in the show). If this is a Botanica situation or a future-toy-hint remains to be seen, but knowing Hasbro we can hope it's the latter.

Looking at both of them, the details line up much more closely with ER Arcee in my opinion. Knee and foot details, lack of Chromia-like kibble (which would totally be on the model if it was on the hypothetical toy), the little forearm panels, she's even got that funny under-chest grill type of situation going on that Arcee has too.

Only other thing I can think of is "KINGDOM". Guess we just have to wait for more.

Elita-1 was among the listings for upcoming Netflix figures, along with Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Red Alert, Impactor, Deep Cover, Cheetor, and a Deluxe Quintesson (probably the Allicon mold).

New trailer

News Credits: 387 · by **Bounti76** » Mon Jul 06, 2020 1:03 pm

Thanks go to Hasbro (and fellow Seibertronian Aronjlove) for letting USA know that the final trailer for the quickly approaching War for Cybertron: Siege series is available to view!

Netflix and Hasbro, Inc., in partnership with Rooster Teeth, today released the final main trailer for Chapter One of the highly anticipated TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY, premiering on Netflix July 30, 2020. The Series raises the stakes of the Autobot and Decepticon war with Chapter One having six, twenty-two minute episodes, complete with a new animation look and style that presents the TRANSFORMERS bots like you’ve never seen them before. The TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY plunges us deep into events that live at the heart of this legendary franchise, with SIEGE shining a spotlight on a critical timeframe in TRANSFORMERS history on Cybertron.

TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY: SIEGE begins in the final hours of the devastating civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The war that has torn apart their home planet of Cybertron is at a tipping point. Two leaders, Optimus Prime and Megatron, both want to save their world and unify their people, but only on their own terms. In an attempt to end the conflict, Megatron is forced to consider using the Allspark, the source of all life and power on Cybertron, to “reformat” the Autobots, thus “unifying” Cybertron. Outnumbered, outgunned, and under SIEGE, the battle-weary Autobots orchestrate a desperate series of counterstrikes on a mission that, if everything somehow goes right, will end with an unthinkable choice: kill their planet in order to save it.

Rooster Teeth (RWBY, gen:LOCK) is producing the original series for Netflix, and Polygon Pictures (Godzilla, Knights of Sidonia) is serving as the animation studio. TRANSFORMERS veteran F.J. DeSanto (Transformers: Titans Return, Transformers: Power of the Primes) is serving as showrunner on the series with several contributing writers, including George Krstic (Megas XLR), Gavin Hignight (Transformers: Cyberverse), and Brandon Easton (Agent Carter, Transformers: Rescue Bots).

The Series voice talent cast includes Jake Foushee (Optimus Prime), Jason Marnocha (Megatron), Linsay Rousseau (Elita-1), Joe Zieja (Bumblebee), Frank Todaro (Starscream), Rafael Goldstein (Ratchet), Keith Silverstein (Jetfire), Todd Haberkorn (Shockwave, Red Alert), Edward Bosco (Ultra Magnus, Soundwave), Bill Rogers (Wheeljack), Sophia Isabella (Arcee), Brook Chalmers (Impactor), Shawn Hawkins (Mirage), Kaiser Johnson (Ironhide), Miles Luna (Teletraan I, Cliffjumper) and Mark Whitten (Sideswipe, Skywarp).

Not only that, but the communication from Hasbro included this final line

More details regarding Chapter Two, TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON TRILOGY: EARTHRISE and Chapter Three coming soon.

This confirms that we're not only getting an Earthrise cartoon, but we may learn the title of the final chapter in the War for Cybertron Trilogy sooner than we think!

July 30th can't come soon enough! What do you think, fellow Seibertronians? Let us know in the comments below!
