New Transformers Cyberverse Concept and Character Art

Before anyone complains about the human kid, he was only in one episode of Season 1 and for just a few seconds of screentime, as he was merely part of a quick joke bit that the writers made, and was never seen again for the rest of the season. The Autobots in this show, so far, do not have any human companions.

wow, they actually sketched in that goat's asshole

Of course they did, look at that expression on its face.

Well, just think back to the actual CG render of Dirk Dinobot, and this seems perfectly reasonable.

Over a decade ago, I swore I would never go down the path to collecting EVERY POSSIBLE Seeker color scheme in any mold other than Classics Starscream...but one look at that chart, and suddenly I know that if the toyline improves enough to give us a truly definitive mold, I will do so for Cyberverse Seekers. Yes, I could actually be complaining about Cyberverse toys not sucking hard enough by year's end.

WOAH.

I dont even remember a human, or a goat, or a dog...shows how little I paid attention even when watching this series....

Don’t think anyone was going to.

I vote to name the black and green Seeker “Changeling”

Ok, but they'd better start drawing butt holes on the transformers too. I mean, they all ready draw the nipples on the seekers, so why not go all the way?

Wouldn't "Changewing" work better?

Hey, that’s pretty good!

Yes, except I’m pretty sure the fine folks over at How to Train Your Dragon rubber stamped that one already for one of their Netflix series.

The grey and red seeker reminds me of the G1 Starscream toy.

Cool art, looks great

The pug seems to have 5 different expressions going there!

With this fandom, you never know.

HA! I misread your post and thought you were critiquing the designs.

I love the colour palettes and subtle shading on these. I'm really impressed with the style of the series as a whole.

So I happened to rewatch a few episodes today, They were much more enjoyable than I remembered!
Curiously, however, the inconsistent faction symbols from Generations toys have seeped into the cartoon. If I'm correct, Bumblebee and Grimlock have G1-style badges (but missing the forehead vent), while Prime's and Windblade's have movie-style "angry eyebrows". Not sure if this has been mentioned already.

So, Episode 8 "Terminal Velocity" (the one where Bumblebee recalls visiting Velocitron with Hot Rod and having a race with Blurr until a rust plague infects the planet) apparently made its premiere in Japan yesterday and, according to TFWiki, the episode's Japanese title translates to "Planet Speedia".

The significance of this is that this means that Velocitron was apparently renamed "Speedia", which is what the planet was called in Transformers: Galaxy Force, the original Japanese version of Transformers: Cybertron.

This then means that, despite the brand unification pretty much making Takara use all of the same names and terms as Hasbro in the Japanese market for this series, the movies, and Siege, Velocitron was remarkably somehow unaffected by the brand unification, being allowed to retain its original Japanese name of "Speedia" instead of having to use its Hasbro name.

There's a Cyberverse panel going on at SDCC and there the female Lugnut lookalike has been revealed to be named "Clobber".

I rewatched a few episodes today and let me tell you they are really really enjoyable. Now eagerly waiting for more episodes.

All of Season 1 is available from Hasbro to watch on YouTube for free.

Thanks so much, I'll just start watching season 1 again now on YT This is the best utilization of time

I have watched the whole thing within a week and I must say it was pretty fun!

I like how it stars in small scale and gradually builds up to a large faction war.
This cartoon know what it wants be and accomplished it.
I dont know about ending the season in cliffhanger,but I am excited to see where they go next.

In the event that gossipy tidbits about Ron Perlman and Mark Hamill are valid, I'm prepared to attempt it only for them.

Erm, those two were in the Power of the Primes webseries that Machinima did. This show is recorded in New York, whereas those two do their voice work in LA.

Fans who gave Cyberverse a shot were pleasantly surprised. It's as much of a G1 renewal as anyone could hope for, targeting the same audience as the original G1 show did and incorporating some deep cut comic lore. Plus it has a kick ass Shockwave. While the series will start airing again September 7th on Cartoon Network, Australia and France are already airing the second season. Below we can see the new opening credits from the French broadcasting, which includes Cheetor. Below is also the episode list from Foxtale Australia and the episode summaries.





Episode 01: Sea Of Tranquility

To save the Earth from destruction, the Autobots must defeat the Decepticons on the Moon.


Episode 02: Bad Moon Rising

Starscream makes a power play for control of the Decepticons as the Moon hurtles towards Earth.


Episode 03: The Visitor

While, in the Ark, one of Wheeljack’s inventions becomes uncontrollable, Bumblebee tries to figure out what he saw on the Moon.


Episode 04: Bring Me The Head Of Optimus Prime

The Decepticons plunge into chaos following the unexpected arrival of an Autobot among them.


Episode 05: Trials

Optimus and Megatron finally discover the Allspark.


Episode 06: Dark Birth

Starscream uses the Allspark to create a terrible new army.

The Autobot and Decepticons attempt to forge an alliance in the face of the threat posed by Starscream.


Episode 08: Starscream’s Children

Optimus Prime leads a rescue mission onto the Nemesis, saving the Decepticons from Starscream.


Episode 09: Spotted

As the Autobots prepare for an attack, Cheetor struggles to find his place amongst the tight-knit group.

Episode 12: I Am The Allspark

Starscream unleashes the ultimate attack on the Autobots and Decepticons.

I bet the "Autobot" among the Decepticons in Episode 4 is Lockdown.

SabrBlade do you mean deadlock?


If you do mean lockdown than im not questioning it im just curious...

Drift/deadlock is already on the ark.

No, I mean Lockdown.

Could be cyberverse punch/counterpunch.

Let’s be honest, it’s Bumblebee or Windblade in disguise as a Decepticon

I really did enjoy the first season of this show, but It does suffer for lack of Humans. I feel like most of the different series has 1 of 2 human issues
1) to much about the humans
2) not enough about the Humans

G1 and Prime had a good balance, but everything else, not so much.

I was actually thinking about this last night. The lack of humans is missed. So much of the vocal minority will say how much they hate humans and don’t want them and fine whatever but you are the vocal minority. Humans give something for the average person to relate to. I’ve watched reviews of movies with robots and no humans the people who review them admit they don’t care about the robots because theyre not relatable. I watched a round table discussion about Blade Runner and they discussed how the director believes Harrison Fords character is a replicant where as everyone else disagrees and the people discussing the movie say how Ford not being human removes all care about anyone in the movie because you have no human to relate to and to care about.

Pfft. Titles dont mean squat. Just like monthly comic synopsis's titles are a game that must be played

I'm honestly really excited at the idea of Starscream being the big bad and Optimus and Megatron having to team up on him for most of the season

Reminds me of the middle part of TF: Cybertron, which was an epic arc.

It truly was.

I really appreciate when we have competent Starscream's, it helps show why he is the second in command.

Did anyone watch season two? I did on the app.

Well probably because those movies made them too robotic. MTMTE has no humans, but yet the characters a very relateable.

While the second season of Transformers Cyberverse has already started airing in other countries, it wasn't until yesterday, August 30th, that the first episode of season 2, "Sea of Tranquility" was put up on the Cartoon Network website and app! The episode was planned to air on September 7th on the Cartoon Network television channel, and just like season 1, the episode goes up on the website in two parts, just separated with bland title cards. Part 1 can be found here and part 2 can be found here.



In other news, a Cyberverse magazine released in another country included a size chart in it's pages, and came with a little Optimus Prime non-transformable figure. The video showing said magazine is here, though the size chart is below.



Finally, over at Randolph Heard's Twitter, a reply shows that the Lugnut looking femme is named Clobber, a name given to Titans Return Grimlock. She will be voiced by Saskia Marx, the voice of Cyberverse Nova Storm. Meanwhile, Lockdown will be voiced by Mike Rose, voice of Teletraan 1 and X.



What are your thoughts on the new episode? Tell us in the Pub forums down below.

I liked that they instituted a time jump between seasons one and two, addressed the effect their war is having on humanity without actually lingering on it, and that this Megatron was willing to actually demote Starscream the moment he messed up. It'll be interesting to have him as the big bad again.

Also, I like this Soundwave. I wonder if Laserbeak will show up, if his Warrior figure is any indication.

I want to like this show more than I do. I'll for sure keep giving it a chance but it's just, very, hmm, unique. The episodes are very tight, very busy. The stuff they're doing with the characters is pretty interesting and the action was fun. I wish there was more time per episode, in that regard it effectively leaves me wanting more. The voice acting was awesome I like the cast they definitely pump in subtle character notes in their tone and language they do a lot with the limited amount of lines they each have.

The time limit is just a sign of the times and I'd think it'd be a challenge to write for.

Having two kids I thought that too - it’s for a shorter attention span used to more information faster. It’s like YouTube clips. Ah it’s still nice they squeeze in so many nods.

I got to thinking... With Bumblebee able to speak again, after losing his voice again, I wonder if the nature of damage he received from Megatron, it requires constant treatment. It would make sense, given he wasn't able to keep up his ability to speak without Ratchet around.

Confirmation that those bird-shark things in the trailer are Air Hammers! - https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1168922276986785792

I am ready for Season 2, it looks so good!

Just finished "Sea of Tranquility" and "Bad Moon Rising."

I LOVE this Starscream and Megatron, and especially their dynamic together. Refreshing to see him get his comeuppance.

I am not crazy about this Soundwave's voice, but I love gis more forward attitude and unreserved nature. Shockwave, I dunno how long the "I have a plan for that" schtick is going to work, at some point he's gotta run out of rope, but its fun to see what he comes up with.
