Transformers Cyberverse Episode 13 "Matrix of Leadership" Now on Youtube

Just got caught up, last one I saw before today was Shadow Striker.

10 and 11 were awesome episodes, deserve some kind of award, episode 12 fell a bit out, and 13 I hope leads into something bigger, Maccadam's is my favorite of this series so far though.

Seeing how evil Shockwave's altered idea of Bumblebee's past was, is one of the most traumatizing things I've seen in a show for kids this young

It would be like if Rescue Bots suddenly had Batman Beyond level stuff in it.

I was kinda looking forward to this show, I wasn't expecting it to be THIS good. Wow. The show started out average and now is developing more and more, and I really enjoy it.

And we're almost to the end of the first... "Chapter", as the batches of episodes are called in this show. Chapter One will end with Episode 18.

Weekly episode update.

Wait, this means the war has been going on for 65 million years, WHAT ????????!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it always an impossibly bug number like that? I reckon they part time it like only fight one day a year or something, although even that number woukd still be ridiculous

Its usually been 4 million years. While still high, it gets more and more incredulous that the war has not ended yet. Especially in this case where the leader was presumably absent for 65 million years.

Funnily enough, the Fall of Cybertron video was almost set 65 million years ago, in an attempt to justify the altmodes of that game's Dinobots. Matt Tieger claimed in a couple of interviews for the game that it was set 65 million years ago. Thankfully, the Fall of Cybertron prequel comics and Prime Beast Hunters comics each provided an in-universe source that put the game's timeframe as being "Thousands of years ago" rather than 65 million, with the FOC comics having that Shockwave look into Earth's past for inspiration when he created the Dinobots' altmodes, and thus effectively overriding Tieger's out-of-universe claim.

I like that route, its the same used in the G1 cartoon and beast wars. what also makes no sense is that Grimlock had all that dino kibble before he landed on earth 65 m years ago. Even my daughter was confused.
Also the show keeps changing Acid Storm's gender from show to show, its annoying as fuck.

Everyone in this show has their Earth kibble/vehicle modes seen on Cybertron in the flashbacks. Grimlock's just continuing the trend, barring his in-universe new altmode. I guess the animators couldn't make separate Cybertronian-bodied character models for everybody.

Though, the G1 cartoon likewise had everyone with Earth kibble in their Cybertronian robot modes.

She looks female to me in both of these new episodes.

It really switches from one episode to the next. Would be nice if they got their shit together



Also, we know there are coneheads and we have seen them in flashbacks, so I dont know why Thrust is not a conehead in the present.

Quite liked the latest two episodes with Grimlock in, and it is an interesting route they're taking with his "inteligence" with this.

I saw the final,my worry is a lack of originality in the future,i don'care anymore about a duel Op-Mega okay?!

Well, I still care about those. I want OP vs Megs all day everyday, I just love that rivalry and those showdowns. If Hasbro is listening, please make more.

Really enjoyed the callback to Fall of Cybertron Grimlock. I wouldn't mind if Grimlock kept that sort of beast mode is brute mode deal, but robot mode is more articulate. It's a nice reference to FOC without making him the Hulk. but I really enjoy both Grimlocks

Acid Storm had the female voice (and VA) for the whole show, they didn't start using the female face 'til Siloed though.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronians Sabrblade and D-Maximal_Primal, we have word that the 14th and 15th episode of the Transformers: Cyberverse cartoon is now up on Hasbro's YouTube channel, "Siloed" and "Kign of the Dinosaurs!" Episode 14, "Siloed," follows Windblade after being captured in the previous episode, "Teletraan-X." Episode 15, "King of Dinosaurs" stars, shock of shocks, Grimlock, and his backstory of his time on Earth. So check out these episodes below and tell us what you think in the Pub forums below!

These episodes have aired in Canada and Cartoon Network for US airing, as well as the Cartoon Network mobile app and their website.

Check out the last episode "Matrix of Leadership," here.

So after reducing the 4 million year time gap to about 1 million in the Unicron Trilogy, IDW and the Bayniverse ironically eliminating it for TF arrival on present-day Earth while working more nebulous time gaps into prehistory, Animated reducing the time gap to 50 years, and Prime's Predacon prehistory perhaps perplexing us most of all after Unicron's reveal meant Earth had always had a connection to Cybertron...

...we finally get a TF universe with a straight-up +65 million year time gap to explain the Dinobots...all 1 of them.

Just seems long overdue, is all I'm saying.

And implies that all the searches for energon, the Ark, any Allsparks etc. really were totally blind, spanning the whole universe. Can't wait to see what all gets retconned into this huge time gap over the next 3 years or so!

And finally, the concluding two episodes of the season are up on Dailymotion.

Episode 17, "Awaken Sleeping Giants" - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6z2ijo

Episode 18, "Eruption" - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6z3wgk
