I hope he ends up becoming the Silas/Breakdown concept from Prime but actually decently used as a concept and not fridged before anything interesting is done with it.

If he hates Cybertronians and wants to kill them all, why would he want to become like one?

See you say this but he already has the robotic arm.

Whether it be this or a later season, it's not out of the possibility that at some point he might feel like he has to upgrade himself even further after some losses.

Plus in the bio you posted it literally says "However, in order to eliminate all Cybertronian life, he believes he needs to become more like them;" that is what some might call foreshadowing.

[PerfectVision]

I just noticed the two last answers.

One details to repeat:it is probable that his mutation will be more or less miraculous,the création of the terrans "pets of death" already establish the tone.

[MaximalNui]

I see. So Mandroid is basically this guy:


2022 Edition

More like Arkeville combined with Circuit Breaker's personality and motivation, honestly.

"He who fights monsters" hypocrisy is a pretty common trope, especially for bigoted villains like Mandroid (still can't get used to that name, sounds so 80's).

I think I hear Manimal crying in the corner...

[PerfectVision]

I doubt the writers are aware of all this old stuff.What's their ages by the way?.It looks like an alternate ANIMATED:an underused kind of post war story.

He wants to be as strong as the very numerous ennemy and should have support...And a miracle,worthy of one particular ennemy from MAX STEEL.Any hypocrisy,incoherence would come from creating terrans for himself (not drones) or being supported by some cybertronians like Starscream or else,the combaticon name doesn't sound pacific but that's common.

His real name is Dr. Meridian.

[MaximalNui]

...who?

Oh wait, I just googled it. To be fair, the fact that show aired on 1983 kinda proves my point.

You'd be surprised what a dedicaded fan or writer can know with a little research.

Also, there's more than one way for the character to be a hypocrite: claim to defend humanity and then endanger humans who are "acceptable sacrifices" or "colluding with the enemy" (which he's clearly already doing by the trailer and 5-min clip); claim Cybertronians are the enemy but then starting to modify himself until he's more Cybertronian than human (again, clearly already going on).

Oh, I'm aware. It's the codename I have issues with. Well, maybe "issues" is a strong word; I just think it could've been better.

Anyway, been reviewing the bios, and I find it intriguing that Megatron's so...ambiguous. Like, it clearly paints him as more ruthless and agressive than the Autobots, but not as malevolent as usual. It really seems to push the current situation as an alliance, or at least a cold war, between the two factions.

I have already mentionned the colluding,we saw decepticons but i doubt they work for him,maybe he can turn back the ennemy againts themmself with mind control or cloning or it is a sub story of angry Decepticons.We saw the endangering for sure,he will have humans dissidents.

"claim Cybertronians are the enemy but then starting to modify himself until he's more Cybertronian than human (again, clearly already going on)."

He doesn't work for Cybertron and that's all that matters."as strong as the ennemy",now,if he cyberforms the planet under his total control:that's miraculous,demented and...Probable.
Is he working for the humanity or for himself?

I think you misunderstood what I meant. I didn't say he's working with the Decepticons or other Cybertronians, I said he's attacking the humans he supposedly wants to "protect" because they have friendly relations with Cybertronians (either as fellow soldiers or friendly civilians) and therefore are "colluding with the enemy" in his mind. That typical "with us or against them" black-and-white mentality that "justifies" targeting the very people one claims to defend.

[PerfectVision]

Sorry for this error:"acceptable sacrifices who probably collude,even more if it's certain".

His little robots look familliar to me...Kind of the CODE LYOKO ennemies,an old TV series i don't like but know about,'still not sure what is the inspiration unless they just discovered the black widow and her giant abdomen.

Since day 1, Elita-1 has been a sports car and a motorcycle until recently. Now in the latest installment of the series, Earth Spark, Elita-1 has been completely bulked-up. Because of this, her new altmode is an armoured military SUV, which its model heavily based on the one used by Prime Bulkhead. Is it highly likely Elita-1 be the new muscle of the Autobots, since she's now Optimus' second-in-command, and that her altmode is an SUV, and not a sports car, or a motorcycle?

The old way of writing the triple 6...Or just add the third...The triple three is the first stage of the triple 7,both in opposition...Hmm,where i was ?

"The new muscle of the group",i don't understand unless you're abusing of the video game logic with roleplay but sometime you just need a lot of persones with the same fonctions.If i follow the PRIME logic:everyone is an indestructible braindead,no particular strategy,maybe Arcee is the fastest but that's not important,just hope it's not that.A probable dynamic is that the terrans from the miraculous source,the spawning pool,ha!Are the ON-LY weakspot of some overpowered adults,kind of parents.The humans are already indestructible hmm?A bunch of autobots elites,Megatron takes the place of Sentinel as the contrarian but not retarded probably.Bee is strangely weak in the first season of CYBERVERSE while Windblade does all the hard work,i stopped watching after it.

I get the feeling he would be giddy over any famous Autobot war veteran coming to live with his family.

I'll also add that it's not because one work in some field that he can't be a fanboy of someone who is from that field.

Example, a hockey expert would lose his mind if Wane Gretzky pay him a vidit at his home.

And I'm sure even non-sports fans would get excited if the legendary Michael Jordan showed up on their doorstep.

And it probably helps that it's the only Bumblebee he knows from the only Transformers that exist in their universe, instead of another version of a character/archetype that's been shoved into every iteration of a franchise since the 2007 movie (I'm honestly not as spiteful as some people are over the character but even I think it's over-saturated).

[Sabrblade]

And it's a Bumblebee voiced by Danny Pudi, which is also awesome.

Transformers has risen above all 80s toy/show brands by having multiple reinventions and reinterpretations through the years. Nickelodeon highlights this evolution from the G1 brand and character designs in their new post on Instagram which shows the new character renders for the Earthspark characters compared to their G1 counterparts. What's fun for G1 fans here is that some of the artwork used for the G1 part seems new (or never before shown).

You can see them below along with links to additional teaser trailers.
