Netflix has picked up 2 new series for their service. The first one is the Transformers Cyberverse cartoon. Cyberverse season 1 is now available, which consists of 18 episodes that are all around 11 minutes each. Season 2 is also currently running, so once you watch Season 1 you can begin to watch Season 2!
Also available now is the successor show to Rescue Bots titled Rescue Bots Academy. Rescue Bots is the longest running Transformers cartoon ever, and Rescue Bots Academy introduces the newest generation of Rescue Bots, which includes the TV debut of Whirl and the return of Unicron Trilogy favorite Hot Shot.
You can now watch both series on Netflix. So head on over and check them out! If you already have Netflix, great! If not, you can try out a free 30-day trial, and after that decide if you want to continue with the service and pay $8.99 a month.

While not as great as the first show, it's still pretty fun, has vastly superior voice acting than Cyberverse, and features a lot of continuity ties with its predecessor, making it definitely feel like a true continuation despite the change in voice cast.Whifflefire wrote:Looks I'll finally be able to watch Rescue Bots Academy!

At any rate. I stated in that thread why I have no interest in that show. If you have kids, nieces, nephews etc... between the ages of 3-6 this will be great for them. Again, I'm not saying the show is bad by any means, it's just that as an adult, and with my own kids past this shows demographic, it offers nothing for me, not should I expect it to. Just makes me miss my son being a younger kid back when he enjoyed Rescue Bots...man time flies


I may revisit Cyberverse again, but its so nonsensical to me, its really hard to watch, reminds me of Armada in that way, I guess the one consolation is it is shorter? (something that should not be said about any TF show...).
It's either sad, or speaks volumes that Netflix didn't even advertise these on their monthly slate of announced upcoming shows, but this is not unique, it seems more and more content is not being advertised leaving people to randomly come across them.
Also hanging my hat on the hopes of the Siege series next year doesn't instill me with great confidence either, especially after the disaster that was Machinima's trilogy.
I just feel sad, I used to be an adamant *lore keeper* for all thing in the realm of Transformers Animation. Episode count, plot synopsis etc... Even though I wasn't a fan of the Unicron Trilogy, when it was first on, I was trying to spark conversations as each episode aired, but few to little people seemed to care back then, on the forums I was associated with. Now 15 years later, and with the format of media changing altogether (from half-hour episodes to 11 minute ones) I find myself caring less and less with each successive series. I understand that with the brand becoming multi-generational they have to appeal to all demographics.
Since 2015, I've had toys that I enjoy, which is something I haven't been able to say in the previous decacde, but now I don't have anything in animation I can claim I really enjoy, that is seeminglyfor me.

Really curious to find out what Bludgeon's angle is, as he seems to working some kind of agenda that no one else about, what with his doing things behind everyone's back without orders and being all silent like Snake Eyes.

The most awesome thing about Wheeljack was his G1 TOY face. Why do they have to ruin it? Why can't an awesome robot design remain an awesome robot design? Doesn't the Transformers franchise already have enough characters with human faces? If they gave Shockwave a human face all the fans would raise hell. It would be worse than WWIII.

His face looks fine man just think of it as being what's under his face mask, Grimlock hasn't really put on his face mask in the show either but we know he has one.
Nothing's ruined, Cyberverse didn't time travel in the past and rip off Wheeljack's plate from his face and retcon his original design and murder your family, you seem to take some stuff about the franchise way too seriously since many posts of yours seem to be a temper tantrum over things you don't personally like, not that there's anything wrong with not liking things but there is definitely a better way to handle expressing such dislike.

On one hand, we have a toy line that is simplistic and really aimed at younger kids.
On the other hand, we have a cartoon series that has the main bad guy as a MASS MURDERER.
And I'm not a fan of Jetfire's voice. Sky Byte works perfectly but Jetfire's? Bring back the Aussie or Pommy accent, those ones were better.

I'm genuinely surprised at the body count and darker moments in well...this show, It's actually a little surreal.
Also yes Aussie Jetfire was like the coolest character, I miss the guy so badly I even made up head canon stuff with Cybertron Jetfire being his own character named...well Jetfire while G1 Jetfire has the Skyfire name just to have an excuse to have both of them in my universal collection.

Eh, not enough to do any real harm. I'd recently already been making some pretty big purchases on eBay, anyway, so this one was a breeze by comparison.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Man, Bludgeon is so cool in this show that it made me go on eBay and order the Warrior class one from RID 2015 as a stand-in until he ever gets his own Cyberverse toy.

Yeah, like, the RID Warrior one is really close to how he ended up looking in Cyberverse, right down to his having two cannons on his back when most Bludgeons have only one.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Man, Bludgeon is so cool in this show that it made me go on eBay and order the Warrior class one from RID 2015 as a stand-in until he ever gets his own Cyberverse toy.

And he's totally this show's Snake Eyes, but ruthless and EVIL!

Seems more like a generic background character to me.

Here's the rundown from their YouTube page:

That is without a doubt the RiD Bludgeon, nice!
And lest we forget, this is the first time Bludgeon has been in a cartoon!

I mean, it made you believe that the Bots and Cons could put aside their differences and make peace, then showed how the tiniest misunderstanding could shatter it, and did it all on a level that kids could understand and adults could find credible. And all this relied on the creative team perfectly understanding every one of their characters, most of which didn't get a ton of development last season.
Then it topped everything off with a Windblade/Bludgeon swordfight, the battle I somehow never saw coming when the latter showed up a few eps back, but worked so perfectly it was fangasmic!
Heck, this even gives me hope that the spark-armor gimmick will pay off storywise, after its rather clunky introduction. The more intriguing application of the Allspark/Vector Sigma combo is the Scraplets. Are they supposed to contain the Prime-Master cores that the wretched POTP Machinima series failed to even mention? I'm actually tempted to watch ahead of CN's broadcast schedule for once!

Right I see what was throwing me off, the yellow should be blue and the head is different (appears to be a closed helm while cartoon model you can see the face.) I prefer the blue version myself.
