Only 5 months from Siege, and a little over one away (not too bad), Hopefully we will get Kingdom May 30th, right in the middle of the toy lines distribution.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, O.supreme, has alerted us to the fact that Netflix, via their social media accounts, have dropped a date for their Earthrise cartoon! On the 30th December, you'll be able to continue the Autobots battle against the Decepticons.

Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise is the second part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy, following on from Siege which aired on the streaming platform on the 30th of July.

A small preview was included with the tweet, which was 9 seconds long and consisted of shots showing the Ark investigating another ship, and the Nemesis. Then there us s shot of what looks like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee running through a stargate like portal, before the air date comes up.

Will you be checking this out? Maybe even binge in it as you wait for the start of 2021? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Well I enjoyed Siege well enough. In fact I woke up super early on the day it came out (a Thursday) to Binge it before starting work. Not doing that this time however.... It comes out on a Wednesday before a long weekend, so I figure I may be able to binge it all between Wednesday afternoon/evening after work that day. Then probably a second viewing sporadically over the weekend, Looking forward to it!

Siege wasn't amazing or anything...but at least it's something to watch and was alright.

Keeping my expectations in check for Earthrise, might make for a fine binge evening.

I hope the best is yet to come with this series.

I imagine that the overall story with this won't end like previous versions of G1.

Day 328 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Previous Versions? There was only one original TF series, and while it may not have had a proper ending, it's continuity continued on into BW & BM, which, for good or ill, brought some finality to that universe. (still plenty of room for new stories in the huge gaps of time though)

Whether this series will have a satisfying ending or not is anybody's guess.

I hope the makers listened to the critiques Siege had (slow, low energy, 0.5% humor, damage inconsistencies etc.) And grow on that for part 2.
I enjoyed Siege, lots of flaws, but the animation I really like.

20 December it is folks!

Question, unless it's been brought up. On the Decepticon side I see Unicron...did they say how he would come into play?

That's just recycled artwork from the toy packaging. Unicron's there because Hasbro's advertising his forthcoming Planet Class toy next year.

Even if you ignore both IDW comics continuity,we still have the Marvel comics version and not so long ago,we had another trilogy of cartoons based on G1(Not to mention the japanese version of G1,but I feel it's different enough to warrant another thread).

Being this is the thread for Animated series, I thought you were only referring to Animation, not Comics. Besides there was only One comic of the original series, and that was done by Marvel from 1984-1991. Everything from IDW, and that garbage done by Machinima a few years back is Not "g1" as you call it. It may have the same characters, but it isn't that continuity.

Same with WFC. It may have some of the same characters, but it's NOT the Original Series. That would be like calling JJ Star Trek "Original Star Trek"- same characters, but definitely NOT the same.

I enjoy the series for what it is, sure it may have some familiar faces, but you'll never hear me call it "g1".

Fine. "Primax" series, then.

Primax 720.30 Alpha to be exact.

(I wish Ask Vector Prime would come back. Even just to clarify the ton of Cyberverse universes they've made.)

I'm more interested in how it will end to set up the time travel element for Kingdom.

Not for sure I want to watch this series. I watch some clips and it didn’t seem that good.

I suggest waiting for the reviews.If people sound excited after its release it should be cool to check it out.

at 1:25 I swear it sounds like he's saying "Take The Faketrix for yourself"...so is there a fake matrix, or is this just bad audio?

Other than that, a pretty nice trailer, looking forward to it.

I heard "Matrix" at first, but now that you mention it, I can't unhear "Fatrix" (no K sound) in the trailer.

Maybe.

Also, I hate sound engineers. When you mix a trailer, PLEASE don't make the background music louder than the dialogue.

Well, at least we know what the Deluxe Quintesson in that listing was... it's one of those Ironhides. A TFW Leaker mentioned how there was a beige and green Ironhide they saw, but they assumed it was canned due to not knowing who it was (they thought it was a G2 Power Master Ironhide homage).

Maybe the figure itself would be the standout deco of this wave (like Decepticon Mirage was for Wave 1) but it looks kinda bland on the animation model.

So Earthrise is taking a leaf out of IDW's book and having Galvatron as his own seperate character instead of an upgraded or resurrected Megatron. I can dig that.

Pretty sure it's just chaos caused by time travel, like in the PS2 game I referenced above

I wouldn't be too sure...given we know there's time travel shenanigans going on in Kingdom...I'm betting they're instead taking a leaf out of Marvel with Time Wars (of a sort), basically Galvatron is trying to change his own fate against Unicron.
