I honestly didn't expect it to as mature as it is. I thought this would be extremely geared towards little kids, but it's not. It actually appears to be setting up a good plot and I'm definitely interested in watching more of this. Heck, it actually gave me an idea for another Transformers show, but I'm gonna keep this idea close to my chest for the time being...

I have Xfinity, but couldn't find it last night. CN hasn't put it up on mine.

Here's the original claim from last night:

Yes, the cable box version of Xfinity OnDemand has the third episode, or at least it does for me as a subscriber here in New Haven, Connecticut, while the website version only has the first two.

It may have been a timing thing. I tried yesterday morning as well, and the only thing "Transformers" related on the CN main site was RiD15. (I didn't want to DL another app, so I figured I'd just wait for some other site to get it) They might have added the Cyberverse stuff later in the day, in any case, it appears all links now are up and running. (I even tried a search for Transformers this morning, and NOW both shows are listed instead of just RiD15

There is no real urgency for me to watch this, as it really isn't my thing, I want to watch with my kids. They are the intended audience (though my son is 12 and was very much bored with RiD15 towards the end). I wonder how they will react to this show.

^ I think he meant straight streaming from the CN site though, with no need for facebook, or an app. It wasn't on CN main site yesterday morning, but it is now, probably got updated sometime, late morning, or mid-day yesterday

So should we start a thread about what Windblade DOESN'T have in her back?

I'm betting we just discovered where Optimus' trailer goes when he transforms...

Transformers Victory uses it extensively.

One of our fellow Seibertronians, notirishman has discovered a brand new clip on Cartoon Network's YouTube page. This video we have embedded below is from an episode called "The Journey". Windblade and Bumblebee examine some of Bumblebee's lost memories. We saw some background on this in the previously released clip. In the memory clip we see Bumblebee on a mission with Optimus Prime and Grimlock. We won't spoil anything but we will tell you that the first two episodes are on the Cartoon Network App if you would like to go watch them.

Yeah he has a personality. I like Prime and find RID okay at best but Jesus it felt Peter was just reading from a script and giving nothing. I’m not totally blaming Peter though. They made a point in an epsiode of Prime to say Optimus is just so serious but it gave him no charisma.

I quite liked the version of him in Animated, it was also good to see a universe where Optimus wasn't the guy in charge of everything.

I was thinking a lot last night about David’s Optimus in animated and loved it. It pretty was just David Kaye’s actually voice and it was the same as his professor X voice in evolutions but it was so good. I really wanna go back and rewatch animated. Still the best transformers series to me

This dude though is doing his best peter Cullen though and honestly I’d like to see him just try his own thing

It is his own thing though. He is a young celeb who got famous for his super deep voice and he wanted to be an anouncer. Hasbro caught wind of him and thought he would work for optimus so they used him.

Not sure this has been mentioned but if your cable/satellite provider offers on-demand channels the first four episodes of Cyberverse are up on Cartoon Network

And he is doing a good job. I just wish more than anything we’d take a break from trying so hard to be G1 but that’s something I’ve said I’ve wanted for a long time now. Every show has to try be Cullen, or Chris Latoya to scatman Crothers. That’s why I adored megatron and Optimus in animated and really really liked megatron in the fall/war Cybertron games.

But I really did hate Steve Blum’s Starscream. It was just snarky Steve blum. Though it wasn’t as bad as his Shockwave.

Yeah bare in mind that this was also 2010 when Steve Blum was doing voice work in almost everything. He was Wolverine in every marvel media. I was just done when he was announced as Starscream. It was like Frank Welker in every cartoon in the 70s and 80s. I didn’t grow up in the 70s but I grew up on Cartoon Network when they played everything Hannah Barbara

Just goes to show how far the man has come since his days of being confined to anime dub roles.

I'm liking the new Optimus voice.

And Grimlock is sort of cracking me up. I like the new cast.

Also, in my opinion, Steve Blum was the best Starscream we have ever gotten in terms of voice

News Credits: 56 · by **o.supreme** » Tue Sep 04, 2018 9:58 am

Saw the first couple episodes, not really impressed. I know this new voice cast is trying, maybe they will grow on me in time, but even TFA (for as much as I hated the look), had familiar names in the voice acting world of animation. None of these people's names or voices do I recognize.

I'm sure some fans will like it because it is so odd and in left field, and unlike anything we've seen before, in terms of story at least. It's just hard to think, when I was 8, that there was a real sense of threat from the Decepticons in the original Sunbow series, and how great of a hero Optimus Prime was. Now in 2018, Kids are treated to "Sweet Boy" with amnesia, and his best gal-pal to figure it out. I'll admit the back story is more interesting than the actual current setting, I wish they would just stay focused on that more often.

Also just for the record, my 12 year old son had zero interest in even watching this with me. I get it though. I can't imagine, if in 1988 (which is coincidentally when I stopped collecting the toys, mostly because the animated series had ended), they had totally rebooted the original series, and made it something completely different, I'd probably not have liked whatever it was either.
