The RID2015 TV serie was based on the one for LILO AND STITCH,a lot of the "decepticons" are like the mutants,the eater and the porcupine are total plagia for exemple,no respect for DISNEY but this fact reduce its appeal to oblivion"Forgettable and a plagia at the same time".That's good to know.

I remember thinking back in the day that Beast Wars was a turning point. That each successive series would re-invent What Transformers is. A whole new and original visual identity, cast and concept each time.

Still waiting.

By cherry picking lines, out of context. As it is both clear you don't see that and off topic. You do you and we'll leave it there.

To be fair, each TV show has had it's own visual identity, just the rest is where things fall down :lol:

True. Still I would have loved each successive series to have a Cheetor, Rattrap, Waspinator etc New and original characters. For Bulk Head or Sideways to be among unique rosters. Just not the Evergreen mess we have now.

Cyberverse was a good show but it was clearly a "budget" show as well.

This Netflix show is also a "budget" show or seems to be.

Until Transformers can proof itself to be reasonable with a big budget again after the mess ups of Prime (regardless of the show quality being good or bad, it did kinda waste it's budget and ruined future plans for Hasbro) and the Bay films (as in they started making less and less back) this is what we are going to get.

Budget shows can be good though if their executed well.

Japanese trailer, featuring all new footage.

Note that the characters all use their Hasbro names, so no "Convoy", "Bumble", "Cybertron", "Destron", etc. It's all "Optimus Prime", "Bumblebee", "Autobot", "Decepticon", etc.

Keep in mind that many of the same people who worked on the Prime Wars Trilogy are working on this show too.

I'm aware. Prime Wars was bad. But I just don't get the same vibe from this.

We have two fun Netflix Transformers series related tidbits to share. Firstly, as a few members have informed us, such as Mindmaster and Verno, that the cybertronian letters in the posters we recently saw spell out Kingdom, which is the name of the third part of the War for Cybertron trilogy, according to the rumours we posted earlier. Transformers fan Protoman made a nice photo to show this, which you can see below.

Secondly we have a brand new Japanese trailer for the series, which Sabrblade sent our way. You can view it here.

Megatron's Japanese voice is nice and deep

I kinda like the energy of this trailer more than the other ones.

They got Tessho Genda to do Optimus Prime....I may watch this in Japanese with subs if that is an option, sounds better than the English voice cast.

Interestingly enough, it's Hōchū Ōtsuka, who has played the likes of Ultra Magnus in Transformers: The Headmasters, Guyhawk in Transformers: Victory, and huge amount of other roles in anime, video games, and Japanese dubs of Western media.

Optimus, meanwhile, is of course Tesshō Genda, reprising his role of Optimus from the G1 cartoon and live action movies, as well as many other roles of his own.

Sadly, they couldn't get Megatron's original Japanese G1 voice actor, Seizō Katō, due to his passing away back in 2014.

The voice cast is awesome here (referring to the Japanese cast)

Does this sorta confirm WFC 3 as being the Beast Wars themed one?

Confirmed. "Kingdom" is the official name for Part 3 of the War for Cybertron Trilogy web cartoon.

And the wording in the tweet makes it clear they are referring to the animal kingdom.

Thanks to a tweet from the account @NXOnNetflix, we have official confirmation of the next line in the War for Cybertron Trilogy franchise: Kingdom! It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, given the poster that we reported on earlier had the franchise name right on it. The tweet (which you can view by clicking on the picture below) has a new video as well, which takes the posters with Cybertronian lettering, and changes them into English letters which, of course, spell out KINGDOM. Furthering the connection to Beast Wars are two emojis, of a gorilla, and a Tyrannosaurus.

So are you excited for the franchise to revisit the fan favorite series? Let us know what you think below!

Wow, we're getting all these teases before an Earthrise show is announced...and we haven't even seen the first episode of Siege yet!

Still, if Kingdom manages to do some good storytelling as well as make the characters stand out from the G1 crew (even if they won't be like the old show), then I'd probably stomach Kingdom better than I would Siege and potentially Earthrise. We'll see.

I'm sure that's Netflix's fault. The series was originally supposed to be streamed in full on June 30 and probably Earthrise would have been previewed immediately after making the Kingdom reveal a little more timely. But Netflix just had to wait for all of the foreign dubs to finish and we ended up with everything out of order.

I just hope that between this and SS86 we get a Leader Rodimus Prime in the vein of the original toy, a screen-accurate Voyager Wreck-Gar, a show-accurate Sandstorm, and the remaining Minibots.

I have to say I'm a bit relieved. The past several years have been great for collecting but not for my bank account. Not being a Beast Wars fan, I'll be glad to save a bit of money for awhile.

Time to save some money, at least! I hate the BW line :lol:

Big Brain Time:

The first WFC fan vote had 3 options, and there were 3 sub-lines. Mirage and Impactor were released in Siege, along with Spinister (who might be a bumped up Earthrise figure since Wave 5 was a new addition), and Wheeljack was released in Earthrise. Tracks and Needlenose for Kingdom confirmed.
