I haven't been here in a while because I was NOT impressed by this series, and I still stand by that. However...season 2 appears to be improved from season 1, I will give it that.

In the thumbnail, who is the blue Autobot between Windblade & Prowl supposed to be. Looks like RiD15 Overload, but he was a con'....Devcon maybe...??

She was always a car.

Turns out that Female Lugnut is not Lugnut.

From the Twitter of Story Editor Randolph Heard:

https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096138178887528448

Actually it's not Lugnut. Similar look, new character

https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096143593897512960

There were some reservations about changing Lugnut so instead we were allowed to invent a new character who is pretty awesome

https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096144183612428288

Honestly, it's because we loved the look of Lugnut. The character is new for Cyberverse but does have a friendship with Lockdown

https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096145150697299968

Character has a great name, but we want to let it come out when she premieres

Ah, well, I thought I might be wrong. Figured I'd suggest it as a possibility.

...huh. Apparently we do know. Well, I guess my post was 50% correct, even though I never thought it would be? Does that count as being right, even though I didn't mean to be? :-?

So it’s Lugnut’s twin sister?
I love that. Could be

by **Skritz** » Thu Feb 14, 2019 6:46 pm

If they wanted a burly female 'con they could have just brought back Strika. Okay, granted she was technically an Autobot in Beast Machine but due to her role as a member of the 'bad guy faction' from her show, she's generally re-conceptualized as a Decepticon anyway.

Seriously, Strika has a cool design, why can't Hasbro remember she exist? >:oP

Lugnut's sister?? Sweet! toy, preferably one of the better looking ones?

Lockdown! Yay for his return!

What is up with this timeline? Blurr is alive here, and Bee has his voice. Is this going to be done ins flashbacks too?

Cheetor got me all pumped up. Love how our kitty cat has continued to evolve from rookie (BW) to capable commander (BM) to tribe leader (IDW) to wise sage that succeeded Alpha Trion (Botcon) and now the guardian of the Allspark. I love it! The character choice was spot on (heh, puns)

The Allpark wants to see Optimus Prime and Megatron duke it out!

by **Skritz** » Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:01 pm

Initially when they had the powered-up mode I thought 'oh hey I guess that's the toy gimmick' but, as it turns out the show model is quite different and noticeably more detailed and better-looking than the toys. That said, I gotta say: first we got Waspinator briefly in Animated, then Optimus Primal in Power of the Primes and now Cheetor.

Can we just get a new Beast Wars show already? Yeah, it won't be as good as the original but I'd just want to see something other than GEEWUN being rehashed for a change. It's what, 20 years old and more now? Surely it is old enough to not only milk my generation but also to be new and fresh to the kids (and store shelves). Just going to have to deal with BW Megatron being fluffy and fuzzy now. :lol:

I think Dinobot would be the one you should be more concerned with! He will find feathers suitably unfitting a Warriors honor!

I noticed the Blurr thing a little bit ago actually, I had hoped people would just pass over it considering my mistake :oops:

My boy Lockdown?

FREAKIN' CHEETOR?!
Also nice to have Bumblebee talking normally again. The Movie-esqe audio sampling was kinda cute, but it'll be nice to be done with it. Also wondering if we'll see full on Maximal/Predacon ranks, since we have quik boi and Sky-Byte.

Notice the bold text below:

Hasbro wrote:Season 2, titled CYBERVERSE: POWER OF THE SPARK, is set to release fall 2019 with Cartoon Network USA.

In CYBERVERSE: POWER OF THE SPARK, the AUTOBOTS are closer than ever to finding the ALLSPARK, but completing their quest will be tougher than they could have imagined. They’ll face new enemies and be challenged by Earth’s roughest terrain, and along the way they’ll discover that, when near the ALLSPARK, they are imbued with incredible new powers.

Using one of these mysterious new abilities, the AUTOBOTS will convert Earth vehicles into Spark Armor: the battle-ready gear they need to defeat the DECEPTICONS and continue their mission. They’ll convert boats into mech suits to battle Sharkticons in the water. They’ll change planes into jetpacks to take on the Seeker Squadron in the sky. Any Earth vehicle is a chance to instantly level the playing field, turn the tables, and win the day. With the power of the spark in their circuits, the AUTOBOTS will complete their mission on Earth and begin the perilous journey back home, where that same power holds the key to returning life to their planet.

Well, that's interesting. Wonder if Sky-Byte might be their leader.

There's still a problem. The code you typed has an extra 8 at the end of it that shouldn't be there.

Though Slugnut would be funny, as it would reference the ALF cartoon.

"I didn't know slug nuts were this sticky." "They are when they're packed in their own juices."

And I know we just had similar energon (-ish?) armor in RID '15, but for some reason this allspark armor just makes me think of the omni-enhanced aliens in the Ben 10 reboot, which is sort of a watered-down version of the Ultimate Alien gimmick, which turned out to be a bad idea in practice because no one bothered to spell out what the rules were as far as the dynamics of the show, and...I'm just not sure how I feel about it, is all.

What excites me most about Cheetor being the Allspark guardian is that they might actually have put some thought into this gargantuan 65 million+ year time gap that so far seemed to have been introduced for the sole sake of Grimlock's alt.
