Hyperspace travel has been seen in several TF series, as well as other science fiction series, pretty sure they did not copy the cheese of 70's Dr. Who

Yeah, even Challenge of the GoBots did hyperspace, and did it so often like it was going out of style.

I hope they give Starscream a better voice than he had in the Devestation game

Yeah I was hoping we'd get some cast announcements, but likely well just have to watch the credits if the voices aren't immediately recognizable.

As for Starscream, its entirely possible they get someone new for the voice. Past (living) Starscreams include:

Michael Dobson (Unicron Trilogy)
Charlie Adler (Bayverse films)
Tom Kenny (Animated)
Steve Blum (Prime)

There are a few others, but these are the ones that actually have talented VA's. Oddly enough, even though I enjoy all these actors, and believe they are all tremendously talented (I've actually met Blum & Dobson in person...) I don't know if any of their Starscreams are really "great" IMHO. Some are passable, but none are really great.

Anyone know what happened to Doug Parker (BW terrorsaur), as he voiced Starscream in the single episode "Possesion" . Looks like he hasn't been active as even a director in some time.

[Evil Eye]

Michael Dobson was one of my favourite Starscreams, especially in Cybertron. Though Steve Blum and Tom Kenny both did superb jobs as well.

Why wouldn't you want the cheese of 70s Doctor Who?

You ever try eating cheese that was bought in the 70's today?

It's stupid, and it's not good for me in the slightest; but it's fun in a very weird way while it lasts and I can look back on it with laughter.

The metaphor gets harder to substantiate when the actual cheese puts me in hospital mind

40-year-old cheese will do that.

Steve Blum was AMAZING as his particular Starscream, and if I'm going to be quite honest I tend to read IDW Starscream in a voice like his, rather than Latta's. It'd be interesting to hear him in this.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Agreed. Blum was my favorite Starscream voice

[Stuartmaximus]

By the time this series is aired i'll have died of boredom waiting for it to come out + we'll all have moved our interest to the Titans Return figures ect by then, makes me wonder why they couldn't have went with a Titans Return series instead

[o.supreme]

So...you are dying in a couple weeks? That's sad. Also...DC animated films are based on events from comics several years, if not decades past. Remember (for once) this animated series is not about promoting a toy line, thus it does not have to come out at the same time. Also...looks like Computron will be in this, (sorry I cant find the article where someone at Machinima confirmed doing the voice...) which shows it is definitely not following the exact plot of the IDW comic. And in a huge ironic twist, you'll be seeing Computron animated in this before Hasbro's toy comes out... Even though this series is not about toys, looks like they aren't behind as maybe you think

[Kurona]

Maybe it isn't about promoting toys, but it does beg the question that if that's not true; why in all of IDW's recent history would they choose the one storyline that most readers would agree was kind of terrible?

One could say the same about Captain America: Civil War.

To make it not terrible?

[ZeroWolf]

To be fair I think it's only loosely based on IDW, which is a good thing, gives us a familiar premise to start with before taking a different track

[Va'al]

Directly from the official Transformers Facebook page, we have our first animated preview of the Machinima series due this August on Go90: Transformers Combiner Wars! Following the events of the IDW storyline, the series uses Windblade as the viewers' perspective into the Cybertronian world - but it's Optimus Prime we hear narrating in the clip - and a familiar Optimus it is, too... Check out more below, and view the video below or by clicking here.

His name is Optimus Prime, and he was a leader, once. Now The Transformers: Combiner Wars demand his return.

For some reason it's not letting me see the video despite being logged into FB. Is it restricted to North America?

[Cobotron]

Hey Doc! That link needs surgery. STAT!

[Sigma Magnus]

Neither link is working...

[Va'al]

It's working fine for me, you may have to be logged in on Facebook to see it though (just thought of that, no idea if it's true).

I tried tinkering with the post, but can't do much else at this stage..

[Seibertron]

Links have been corrected.

I'm thinking yes. I'm in Malaysia on a business and it won't open for me either. FB says the link has expired or that I'm not in the target audience.

[o.supreme]

I don't suppose there is a source to view it for those that do not have facebook?

Nope, I'm in New York and it's not working.

The links have been fixed. Please try again.
