I tried to watch this, turns out I'm "Not Crew"

Why is Hasbro recently ONLY releasing 10 minute Transformers series, instead of the original format was full 30 minure episodes? I know Hasbro is in the business of selling toys, but the 10 minutes does not in my opinion, does not lend to solid storytelling. Will the next Transformer series War for Cybertron: Seize also be just 10 minute episodes?

the 11 minute episode format is the continuation of an experiment by the looks of it from Machinima's cartoon, although the 11 minute episodes here are actually working out pretty well. A lot better than most really.

there hasn't been any word as far as I know of a War For Cybertron: Siege cartoon. This and Rescue Bots Academy are the only 2 TV series in discussion right now

Remember those classic 30 minute episodes were only 22 minutes without adds, so half of 22 is 11. The reason why they are 11 minutes is because CN reasons that kids are dumb, so they write to that level of competency mostly with mind numbing comedies that kids can only handle 11 minuets at a time, before their brain explodes, or they lose interest.

This unfortunately doesn't work well for Transformers, even a kid friendly version such as Cyberverse, because you can very clearly tell many of the stories are cut into 2 parts (meant to be full 22 minute episodes). Also there is a paradigm shift going on. Kids are watching media more on their mobile devices now, than actually on cable or satellite TV. Cyberverse airs only one single time per week, some ungodly time on Saturday morning before most of the world is awake, while Teen Titans Go! plays in 3-4 hour blocks!! (not kidding).

In the past this was basically a death sentence for any other decent TV show, but if enough kids watch Transformers on their devices it may get picked up for another season, if not, it will go away and be a mere footnote if anything, in animation history.

It's not exactly the first time a version of Starscream has had that power, though.

Another one did too:

Wonder if this is an ability exclusive to him...?

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Sabrblade, we have news that the lucky number 13th episode of Transformers: Cyberverse is now on Hasbro's Youtube channel! The episode, titled "Matrix of Leadership", follows Bumblebee as he looks back at Optimus Prime and what has made him a great leader as well as a teacher to the young scout. The episode features Bumblebee and Teletraan X for the most part, with some more screen time in the past for characters like Ratchet and Starscream, along with the first Cyberverse appearance of Alpha Trion!

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

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.
