A trailer for the upcoming Machinima Transformers apower of the Primes cartoon has appeared online, specifically from the Machinima YouTube channel. The trailer is pretty brief, but establishes the cast, where we left off in the last show, and some new shots of new characters. It give us our first look at the Dinobots in action, Volcanicus, Predaking, and Optimus Primal, as well as our returning characters Megatron, Overlord, Windblade, Megatronus, and Victorion. You can find the new trailer mirrored below!

The past two installments of the series have gotten heavily mixed reviews from fans, and the short break in between Titans Return and Power of the Primes (just a matter of months), makes some concerned that they didn't have enough time to listen to critique and improve the show more. Though, it does fix one criticism that fans had: it is premiering while the coinciding toy line is still on shelves, something the previous two shows hadn't been able to match.
Power of the Primes premieres May 1st, on Go90 and the Transformers Tumblr page. Make sure to catch the official Seibertron review of the show shortly after each episode airs.

The third and final installment of Machinima's Prime Wars Trilogy of cartoons, Power of the Primes. is just a few short days away. Meaning, of course, we're seeing more and more promotional material across the internet for it. Today's no different as we have (at least part of) a new poster for the series from over on the Machinima Instagram page. The poster is being, well, posted regularly in increments, meaning we've only seen a few sections of it, but the rest will probably be revealed by the premiere date.
Even though we've only seen a fraction of the poster, it still offers some exciting new glimpses into the show we haven't seen before, showing off our first look at the Dinobots and Predaking! Check out the pieces of the poster we have currently, and then check back when the series premieres for our official review!

We've gotten teases, we've gotten posters, but finally we have a release date for the next Machinima Transformers cartoon, Power of the Primes!
Announced with remarkably little fanfare over on the Transformers Facebook page, accompanied by a clip from the previous show Titans Return, it's been revealed that the next and final chapter of the series will come on May 1st, just a few short days away. Something interesting to note is that unlike other promotional materials for the new series, like the poster below, neither the post nor the video make any mention of the Go90 streaming service, which both previous shows have been streamed on for free. It will be interesting to see if Transformers has ended it's run with Go90, instead opting for their Tumblr page, which they do link to in this new post.

Whatever the case, make sure to stay tuned for Seibertron.com's exclusive reviews of the new series, coming out immediately following the new episodes!

Thanks to notifications from a number of Seibertronian community members, we are able to link to the first trailer for the upcoming animated series created by Hasbro and Boulder Media Studios - Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy!

Part of the same universe as the series set in Griffin Rock and for all we know so far a direct sequel with a younger target audience, Rescue Bots Academy sees the new characters of Hot Shot, Whirl, Medix, Hoist, and Wedge follow predecessors Heatwave, Chase, and Boulder in learning how to respond to emergency situations and become heroes at the Training Academy of the title. Check it out below!

A group of young Bots fresh from Cybertron (Hot Shot, Whirl, Medix, Hoist and Wedge), have the honor of being the first-ever class to enroll in Earth’s Rescue Bot Training Academy and learn how to become Earth heroes through hands-on experience.

While most of us feel like we're still recovering from the last Transformers Machinima animated show, Titans Return, it is almost time to jump down the rabbit hole again with the upcoming show Power of the Primes. It's because of this that the voice actor for Megatron in Combiner Wars, Titans Return, and POTP, Jason Marnocha, who is widely praised for being one of the highlights of the Trilogy, has started teasing POTP's premier.
Coming fresh from his twitter account, he's shared an image of Megatron with the new Power of the Primes title graphic, accompanied by his caption of "Soon. Soooooooon..." (It's also worth noting that the poster sports a shiny new Machinima logo, as well.) Check out the image mirrored from his twitter below, and let us know if you'll be tuning in to Power of the Primes when it premiers sometime later this year. It'll feature big new names like Mark Hamill, Ron Perlman, and Greg Berger!

Transformers Rescue Bots Academy To Air in Fall of 2018

We have a small update on Rescue Bots Academy, the new animated series due from Hasbro's media productions, in collaboration with the studio Boulder Media: according to an article on CynopsisMedia, the show has moved up from a previously generic due date of in 2019 to in the fall (of 2018, we assume from the piece).

Transformers Rescue Bots Academy – which Sondon describes as “the same concept as Transformers Rescue Bots but more skewed to a preschool audience” – is slated to bow in the fall.

The article appears to also confirm the target audience - lowering the age bracket a little, perhaps - with Angela Sondon of Discovery Family also mentioning My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop's later incarnation, news we heard from the Hasbro presentation at Toy Fair 2018.

TF fan site TFAt TM have posted another installment of their absolutely incredible series of audio clips from the original G1 Transformers cartoon! Pertaining this time to the episode "Heavy Metal War" specifically, the audio gives us not only behind the scenes banter from the likes of Wally Burr, but also extended or deleted scenes! These extra bits and pieces are fascinating to listen to, and they give more context and flesh to these stories we thought we knew so well!

The folks over at TFatTM have posted the newly released audio in YouTube video format, which we've mirrored down below! Below that is a transcript of what you're hearing that highlights who's talking, as well as what's new and/or extended! For more details, visit TFatTM's article via the link above!

Transcript:

WALLY BLURR: We're rolling this is 700-13 from the top

** EXTENDED SCENE **

SCRAPPER: We return to our master Megatron!

FOREMAN: They're... they're with the Decepticons!

*NEW* Scavenger: I have reading Scrapper, it must be the secret entrance

*NEW* Scrapper: It's about time you did your job, Scavenger. Hook -- activate the entranceway

*NEW* HOOK: With my usual finesse, Scrapper?

*NEW* MEGATRON: You see Starscream,

MEGATRON: My Constructicons have returned to our temporary base right on schedule. They were worth the time we spent building them in these caverns.

*NEW* STARSCREAM: That remains to be seen oh mighty Megatron

MEGATRON: Scrapper, report!

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

MEGATRON: Unload and attach them to your new invention at once.

SCRAPPER: I am honoured to serve, Megatron.

*NEW* SCRAPPER: Interlock the components and synchronize the pulse linkage

MEGATRON: Soon, Starscream, soon, Scrapper's invention will give me the power to defeat the Autobots...

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: You've got us curious, Wheeljack, what's your big surprise? And what does it have to do with -- the Dinobots?

*NEW* WHEELJACK: Well, Optimus Prime, fellow Autobots, human friends Spike, Sparkplug and Chip --

*NEW* IRONHIDE: Oh, get on with it! You take longer to say something than a slow-motion mechano-mouth with the glitch!

*NEW* WHEELJACK: Uh, yes. As you know the Dinobots have always been unpredictable ... and kind of clumsy sometimes ... But I've been reprogramming them ... so just watch!

*NEW* IRONHIDE: Big deal. SO now we got us a Dinobot baseball team that eats the ball!

*NEW* CHIP: Well I'm impressed

*NEW* SPIKE: Me too, Wheeljack

*NEW* SPARKPLUG: Right! You did a good job with the big guys

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: I'm also pleased, Wheeljack. Well done!

*NEW* WHEELJACK: Thank you, Optimus Prime. I try to do my best. Okay Dinobots ... Transform!

*NEW* GRIMLOCK: Next time. Me, Grimlock, do even better

*NEW* IRONHIDE: Hmmphtf! Now that the Dinobot beauty pageant's over maybe we can ..

IRONHIDE: Huh?! Those signals spell trouble and I'm talking Decepticons!

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

SPIKE WITWICKY: Looks like just one, Dad. One's one too many when it's Megatron!

*NEW* CLIFFJUMPER: I got the speed so follow my lead!

*NEW* IRONHIDE: Okay, So you're faster, Cliffjumper -- But Iim tough!

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: Bumblee -- Take out friends out of danger!

*NEW* BUMBLEBEE: You heard Optimus. Let's go!

WHEELJACK: Let's see how he likes my new shock-blast cannon! Uhh! Hhh... that's a shock, all right.

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

MEGATRON: I have come to talk, not fight, Optimus Prime.

OPTIMUS PRIME: Autobots, hold your fire!

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: Megatron wish to confer... he says

*NEW* MEGATRON: Perhaps you will do me the courtesy of hearing me out before you doubt me?

OPTIMUS PRIME: Very well. Speak, Megatron.

MEGATRON: I come about a matter of Cybertron law, Optimus Prime. Our war has gone on for millions of years -- Decepticons fighting Autobots

*NEW* MEGATRON: with no end or victory in sight

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: A sad but unavoidable truth so long as you seek to dominate the universe.

*NEW* MEGATRON: Nuy Cybertron Law may provide a solution to our seeming dilemma. I refer to the age-old code of combat

MEGATRON: in which opposing leaders -- you and I, Optimus Prime -- may do battle. The loser must exile himself and his army to deep space for eternity. The winner may stay where he chooses. Do you have the courage for that?

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

MEGATRON: I now have the strength of all my Decepticons.

*NEW* MEGATRON: The unsuspecting Optimus Prime is as good as beaten! (laughs)

*NEW* STARSCREAM: With all due respect, Megatron -- I suggest you not celebrate your victory prematurely ... as there might be one flaw in your otherwise flawless plan.

*NEW* MEGATRON: And what might that be, "loyal" Starscream?

STARSCREAM: The Autobots' computer, Teletraan 1... if it detects your deception, it will alert Optimus Prime.

MEGATRON: It won't!

*NEW* MEGATRON: Teletraan 1 has already been accounted for in my master plan.

MEGATRON: Scrapper, you and the others have your orders. Constructicons, transform!

*NEW* MEGATRON: I chose these caverns as a temporary base because of their nearness to Autobot Headquaters.

MEGATRON: While all the Autobots are assembled to watch my combat with Optimus Prime, my Constructicons will tunnel their way beneath those headquarters, then enter the control room and destroy Teletraan 1! (Laughs) Optimus Prime won't know what hit him! (Laughs)

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

OPTIMUS PRIME: The code specifies a fair battle, Spike. Under those rules I'm confident I can beat Megatron.

*NEW* IRONHIDE: And if Megatron tries anything cute, we'll rotate his circuits!

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: No, Ironhide. The law of Cybertron must be obeyed and Autobot honour must be preserved. I will fight Megatron alone. I have given my word.

OPTIMUS PRIME: Besides, if he does not abide by the rules, Teletraan 1 will tell us.

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

*NEW* CHIP: According to my calculations, you shouldn't have much trouble Optimus. Your strength is far greater than Megatron's.

*NEW* SPIKE: Stomp him good, Optimus! He's had it coming for a long, long time.

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: I will do my best not to fail you -- the other Autobots -- or the Earth.

*NEW* SPIKE: I know you won't! You're not a quitter!

*NEW* SPARKPLUG: Hey, guys, I think we're here!

OPTIMUS PRIME: Autobots, transform!

IRONHIDE: Okay, we're here! Where's the opposition?

CHIP CHASE: That answer your question, Ironhide?

*NEW* STARSCREAM: Without our power chip rectifiers we're lucky we can still fly, Megatron!

*NEW* MEGATRON: I wouldn't want you walking to the show, that might tip our hand!

*NEW* STARSCREAM: You will remember to return our chips ounce you've used them against Optimus Prime, won't you?

*NEW* IRONHIDE: Strange -- some of those crumbs usually like to show off by changing to their jetplane modes.

*NEW* RATCHET: No biggie, Ironhide. They probably don't want to take the spotlight away from Megatron.

MEGATRON: Hail Optimus Prime, and welcome to defeat!

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

*NEW* CHIP: Give it to him!

SPARKPLUG WITWICKY: Go, Optimus!

STARSCREAM: And the use of my null ray, too.

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: He never .. did that before!

*NEW* RATCHET: This doesn't print out right! How'd Megatron get so versatile?

*NEW* SPARKPLUG: C'mon, Optimus! You can do it!

SKYWARP: You should see me do that when I've got my power chip.

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

IRONHIDE: Way to go, Prime! You're not down yet!

*NEW* MEGATRON: Foolish move. I knew you were going to do that!

*NEW* WHEELJACK: Megatron read Prime's thoughts just like Soundwave!

MEGATRON: (Laughs) You cannot blast what you cannot see!

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

SPIKE WITWICKY: I can't believe it.

CHIP CHASE: Optimus Prime... beaten by Megatron.

*NEW* RATCHET: Prime's gonna need repairs, Wheeljack

OPTIMUS PRIME: Ohhhh...

SPIKE WITWICKY: He's functional

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

SCRAPPER: There's Teletraan 1! For Megatron, destroy it!

*NEW* LONGHAUL: *Dialogue missing*

*NEW* SCRAPPER: Then fight! But remember -- the computer is our main objective!

SLUDGE: Sludge not see these Decepticons before.

SNARL: Not see again, either, because we dynamite them to pieces!

*NEW* SWOOP: Let's finish 'em fast!

*NEW* BONECRUSHER: Blast him! Reduce him to metallic dust!

HOOK: It's bad news, Scrapper. They've brought out the heavy artillery.

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EXTENDED SCENE **

SPIKE WITWICKY: Hey... check that out! What is it?

*NEW* SLAG: Dinobots no fool around!

IRONHIDE: Our Dino-buddies! We gotta help!

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: No, Ironhide! Remember the law!

*NEW* MEGATRON: That's right -- you must keep your honor ... and obey the law!

*NEW* STARSCREAM: We could join the battle -- if we still had out powers.

*NEW* MEGATRON: My Devastator needs to help in vanquishing these Dinoboy oafs

IRONHIDE: Uhh... sorry about that.

** EXTENDED SCENE **

** EFFECTS AND ADDITIONAL LINE **

WALLY: Okay, let's have all the Autobots say "let's go to it", here we go 1, 2,3

AUTOBOT SFX

WALLY: Humans .. mix in with that, the same thing, humans at 155 and ...

AUTOBOT SFX

*NEW* OPTIMUS PRIME: I have a plan to defeat that giant robot.

DEVASTATOR: Nothing defeats the Devastator! Nothing!
