First Transformers Cyberverse Season 2 Trailer Now Online

This is gonna be good...

First 37 seconds of trailer: Hmm, I didn't think that much of the first season of Cyberverse, and this just looks like more of the same.
38 seconds in: Wait, that almost looked like....
46 seconds: Could it be?
"I am Cheetor, Guardian of the AllSpark"

Well ... there's a character we weren't expecting!

And by that I mean Lugnut.

Excited for the cartoon and the wider range of cameos. The armor gimmick sounds cheap, but maybe for kids it will work.

WHY IN THE EVER LOVING HECK DID THEY MAKE LUGNUT A GIRL? I mean, if it had been a new, random Decepticon Femme named Lugnut, fine, but that is clearly Animated Lugnut. Lumbering, brainless, barbarian, deep voiced, Punch-Of-Kill-Everything Animated Lugnut. With a girl’s voice.

CHEETOR! YAY!

Female body diversity.
You know I'm right.

Does beg the question of why it’s not Strika, the long-standing resident big-girl-on-the-block Transformer.

For that matter, if added cameos are on the docket , I wonder if Ovveride or Thunderblast will ever make an appearance.

Cheetor sounds a little different than I expected, but I'm sure I will get used to it

Strika is land based? Memory isn't always reliable but have there been any land based 'Con in Cyberverse yet?

ShadowStriker? Other than that, maybe Shockwave, if four legged tank counts

This show has already made Nova Storm as (at times) Acid Storm female. Female Lugnut got me excited, regardless.

Shadow Striker (car), Soundwave (SUV), Shockwave (spider tank), Megatron (tank).

I will have to watch season 1 now, even if Grimlocks voice seems daunting/from the school of zero efforts in the trailer.

strika may be land based, but changing her to an aerial vehicle is much less crazy than gender-bent lugnut.

ah yes, forgot about her (which is shameful on my part because I liked her).

But even adding the blokes in, 'Cons seem to be more air based. Maybe that's the explanation for Lugnut.

Unless I'm wrong, I think Shadow Striker was a Seeker (or maybe just a Seeker Commander) before 'Bee done blew her up and Shockwave patched her back together. Which would make her "land-mode" a special case. Even so, ol' Megs turns into a tank, which is a decidedly land mode.

Also,how do we know this the femme-Con will be named Lugnut? Maybe she'll have a different name! Strika even! (Doubt it, but you never know!)

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.

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?

Calling it now: Lugnut's sister.

Decepticon Stryker wrote:Calling it now: Lugnut's sister.

Heh heh - https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096144779811860480

So it’s Lugnut’s twin sister?

I love that. Could be

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?

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!

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.

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

Go tell that to Aztec Eagle Warriors: they would REALLY disagree!

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

Wow, never expected to see Cheetor again.

My boy Lockdown?
My boy girl Lugnut?!
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.

trying again

I like the old school feeling of a show advertising toys and its fun to see those upcoming armours used in wave 2. Plus I love a good Megs vs Optimus fight. Bring it on!

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.

What's with all the beast characters being guardians all of a sudden. First Primal in the machinima stuff and now Cheetor here.

It's a message to all the GEEWUNNERS who still hate Beast Wars based on the 10-30 seconds they saw of the cartoon:

"WE saved the entire Transformers franchise at the midpoint of the 2 decades YOU decided to stop caring, and therefore earned the honor of guarding its heart and soul for all eternity! If that's a problem for you, then BEGONE! Again."

Hey, I can only call 'em as I see 'em. Anyone with a less divisive read, please chime in.

Plot twist - Only Primal returned to Cybertron, though at a prehistoric time, upon arriving he takes up guard duty. The rest (well Cheetor at least) stayed on Earth and he eventually took up guarding the AllSpark.

Or it's just random.

You know, I don't know if you're joking or not, but here's some interesting (by standards) ramblings.

Most of us "GEEWUNNERS" were still in school or college when G1 died in the butt. We had little or no disposable income. The internet was in it's early days and bulletin boards regarding TF's were few and far between.

So they tried something new, they appealed to a new, younger audience and went back to fleecing parents.

Once Hasbro realised "GEEWUNNERS" had disposable income, their focus swung back to G1.

Hey guess who has disposable income now? Beast Wars fans! So don't flatter yourself, Hasbro are just seeing you as cash cows, like those mean GEEWUNNERS that upset you so. You're just a statistic like the rest of us now.

P.S. I liked Beast Wars and Beast Machines and have a near complete collection of both. Oh and I'm one of those "GEEWUNNERS", so maybe don't be so quick to generalise hey?

I dont think is fair to expect kids that were growing up and interested in various other things in their teenage years that they stopped caring for transformers. The truth is Hasbro stopped making the brand relevant to new fans until Beast Wars came around.

It was a dumb joke that seemed funnier when I was tired and under the weather last night. Sorry if that was actually offensive.

What would be hilarious is if the next ancient guardian in this trend turned out to be Rattrap.

"Yeah, this chamber's where Primus's consciousness lies dormant to protect us from the Swarm, or a continuity implosion, or something...look, I don't ever remember why this is my slaggin' problem."

william-james88 wrote:What's with all the beast characters being guardians all of a sudden. First Primal in the machinima stuff and now Cheetor here.

And to think that the Dinobots of AOE were originally going to be the "Guardians of the AllSpark" in the movies before it was decided to instead make them some sort of legendary knights.

william-james88 wrote:What's with all the beast characters being guardians all of a sudden. First Primal in the machinima stuff and now Cheetor here.

I think it is more just to get BW characters used again. The same could be said for IDW, [Jerry Seinfeld voice] What's with all the BW characters working for Unicron??

Speaking of IDW

william-james88 wrote:Plus I love a good Megs vs Optimus fight. Bring it on!

Something else IDW failed to deliver on in the end. Though I was labeled as "boring and cliche'" for wanting Op & Megs in a final fight to end IDW, well, at least this show as that going for it.

A megs and op fight wouldn't have made sense in IDW at that point. Cyberverse is going fir a mixed approach with megs, keeping him in the vein of evil but giving him a relatable start. Personally I tired of having prime vs megs, it's very played out but I'm willing to give new things a go if it promises a different take. It's my approach with the new IDW reboot as well.

potentially they are vehicle passage arms, I thought they were negligible blue wings like we see on some fly formers' arms. With the objective that is two female Decepticons on this show legitimately off the bat, captivating.

Remember back in February when we got some sweet Cyberverse concept artwork? Well guess what, we got more!

Thanks to Sophia Sycamore on Artstation, we have a bunch of new concept art to share with you today. The concept artwork shown here includes some looks at Grimlock's dino mode, which compared to previous series has taken on a little bit of a pointier look, but still comes with some great dino mode expressions!

Next up, we get some nice and cute little organics, starring an adorable little pupper dog, the billy goat Bumblebee befriended and played headbutt with, and a little human boy, the only human to appear so far in the series.

Returning to our bots, we get some line art for Hot Rod, some facial expressions for Maccadam and Deadlock, and a look at the multitude of Seeker skin options the show has given to us.

Check out all out below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
