Finished up the season at last, really enjoyed it. Took it a few episodes to figure itself out but once it got into a groove it was a lot of fun.

My desire for season 2 is more character development for anyone not named Bumblebee or Windblade.

With Season One of Cyberverse drawn to a close, we have word of a newly-listed Cyberverse DVD currently available for pre-order. Titled ‘Transformers Cyberverse: The Journey’, the anthology consists of 66 minutes of product, which can only be assumed to consist of the first six episodes, given the DVD’s plot synopsis and the title of the collection corresponding to the show’s fourth episode, ‘The Journey’.

The DVD itself is listed here by New Zealand based online retailer MightyYape.com for $10 NZD (approximately $6.68 USD, without shipping), and is slated to for released on February 20th, 2019.



Are you considering picking up this short collection, or would you rather wait for a full-season package? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub Forums below!

[Nathaniel Prime]

Yeah, this is pretty hard to find news(probably not maybe), besides, I'd watch the whole show on YouTube. It's free

[Acolyte]

Save your money.

1) If it's not even the full season? We're talking 11-minute episodes peeps, that you can find for free in various corners of the interwebs (although not streamable overseas in Japan). I purchased it early on iTunes because I really, really need more visual Transformers action in my life, but...

2) The show is absolute garbage. The writing and action feel completely vapid and soulless. I've listened to podcasts where diehard fans say stupid things like, "I'd be comfortable if our legacy voices all came from the Cyberverse actors" and I can't pick my jaw up off the ground. YHGTBFSM. The voice acting is some of the worst (just the horrible attempt to imitate Peter Cullen in OP makes me shudder) I have ever seen in a Transformers show. Ever. E.V.E.R. If this is what we can resign ourselves to getting from the likes of the Allspark Studios Grand Strategy for Making All Things Evergreen Gee-WUHN! for the Rest of Time, then Transformers will die the death it deserves. The burnout will be so very, very real. There was a time when the franchise took risks and invented whole new things that launched the imaginations of thousands (i.e. Beast Wars). Such a time will probably never come again if this show is any sign. Hasbro learning all the wrong lessons.

3) My 3yo daughter, who loves Transformers and anything child-oriented and age-appropriate she can watch on TV, can't stand the show. She begs to watch something else anytime I suggest it, and completely tunes out or goes and reads books when she finds me trying to watch it for posterity's sake.

4) Buy a few seasons of an earlier show - ANY earlier show - before you put any more money towards Cyberverse.

Probably best if I keep my personal opinions personal about this series. Might affect my working relationship with them. I'm going to keep beating on the door of Boulder Media until I get an answer. My agent has tried. I've tried. I would at least like to have a shot. My kids have not had the best things to say about the show but I haven't had the time to check it out for myself outside of one episode and the promos.

As much as I enjoy some of the voices on the show, your portrayals would be excellent, I've enjoyed your work so far.

If you were to give at least one more episode a chance, I'd highly recommend checking out Episode 10 "Maccadam's". One of the best (if not the best), legitimately good (or even great) episodes of the first season.

I also would reccomend Extinction Event, its not as good character wise as Maccadam's, but its nice to see Shockwave just show up and go full 80s Villian. Not even Prime Megatron went to quite the extent this Shockwave was ready to go to.

As to the seties as a whole, its good, and its toyline doesnt do it justice, but its not likr Prime goof

I still plan on seeing it eventually but the only way I can at the time is on YouTube and I never have the time.

Well, last episode of season chapter one is up, so binging is totally now possible.

It's about time you posted this. I sent the notification like a week ago , not that I'm mad. Haven't seen the episode yet, will do when I get home.

Further emphasis that it should have been reported and posted sooner. But by now, I am itching for some more figure reveals. Cyberverse and Bumblebee movie figures aren't enough. Bring on some Studio Series, or Siege, or even Masterpiece lol

Heh, heh, heh. Yeeeeeah

Also, Nathaniel Prime, you sent the notfication 3 days ago. Not sure of you're exaggerating or...

By the way, we don't news Cyberverse episodes until its YouTube release. Not sure if that's what you meant buuut...

[Starscream is lord]

Can't wait for season two.

[Wheeljack84]

While it's nowhere near being a top 5 or favorite for me, I think Cyberverse did gradually get better and become more exciting and interesting over time.

I just wish two things:

1) They had a better voice cast with cooler voices. No disrespect, but a lot of the interpretations on these characters sound flat and un-interesting to me.

2) half hour episodes. I've never liked action cartoons moving toward this format, and I don't like it now. I'd much rather have this story as a half-hour format than the last Robots in Disguise show.

Huge Pro:

1) No humans! Thank you Hasbro!

With fans eagerly awaiting a triumphant return to screens for Transformers Cyberverse, Boulder Media Character Designers Leo Chiola and Francesco Giglio have put forward some of their concept work to provide an insight into the developmental stages of Cyberverse’s very stylized characters.

Firstly, Francesco Giglio gives us a decent serving of concept work from season one, namely model sheets for Bumblebee, Windblade, Optimus Prime, Starscream, Megatron, Grimlock, Maccadam and several other minor characters. We also have a great look at Alpha Trion. All the images, provided below, were posted to Giglio’s Blogspot, so be sure to check out his other work there.























Additionally, Leo Chiola provides us a considerably more sizable art sampling, ranging from Concept Art to Model Sheets to Hand Studies for several major and minor characters from the shows first season. Most interesting are designs for an unused beetle-like creature and an also-unused human child. Only time will tell if these designs, like Alpha Trion, will ever see their day on television screens. All images, similarly provided below, are courtesy of Chiola’s Artstation, so please be sure to take a look at Chiola’s other work.







































Do any of these designs interest you? What do you think of the unused designs? Do you think they will be brought on for the show’s next season, or will they be left on the cutting room floor? Let us know what you think in the forums below, and be sure to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers News and Reviews.

Good ol' Alchemist Prime, errrrr, Maccadam.

[Deadput]

Most intriguing, however, is the addition of Alpha Trion, who fans will recall not putting in an appearance in Season One. Perhaps this is an indication that Alpha Trion will make a debut in the shows second season.

Uh about that.

We saw him die in the 13'th episode "Matrix of Leadership" so I don't think he will be making any appearances besides flashbacks

He's just bulky like the Alchemist Prime concept art.


What you think Bulkhead is the only bulky robot out there?
