New Clip From Transformers Cyberverse - Never Trust a Decepticon

Saw the first couple episodes, not really impressed. I know this new voice cast is trying, maybe they will grow on me in time, but even TFA (for as much as I hated the look), had familiar names in the voice acting world of animation. None of these people's names or voices do I recognize.

I'm sure some fans will like it because it is so odd and in left field, and unlike anything we've seen before, in terms of story at least. It's just hard to think, when I was 8, that there was a real sense of threat from the Decepticons in the original Sunbow series, and how great of a hero Optimus Prime was. Now in 2018, Kids are treated to "Sweet Boy" with amnesia, and his best gal-pal to figure it out. I'll admit the back story is more interesting than the actual current setting, I wish they would just stay focused on that more often.

Also just for the record, my 12 year old son had zero interest in even watching this with me. I get it though. I can't imagine, if in 1988 (which is coincidentally when I stopped collecting the toys, mostly because the animated series had ended), they had totally rebooted the original series, and made it something completely different, I'd probably not have liked whatever it was either.

The first Cyberverse episode is on Hasbro’s YouTube channel

Thanks to a heads up from users lg89ninja and bluecatcinema, the first two episodes of Cyberverse are up for watching on Hasbro's Youtube channel! They were available for watching on Cartoon Network's app and website before, but Youtube is much more accessible to everyone.




These are the first two episodes, Memory and Fractured, which are both ten minutes long and follow one linear story. Unlike the Cartoon Network app and website versions, which were broken up into four five minute episodes. If you wanted watermark-less images, sadly, you cannot, as these videos have the "Subscribe" watermark.

If you would like to see our thoughts on the cartoon, see this article.

Sadly, we do not yet know if these are region locked outside North America, similar to the Cartoon Network version. If you live outside of North America, then let us now down in the Energon Pub forums below!

The show's much better than I was originally expecting.

Also yes, these can be watched perfectly legit, without VPN or anything, in the UK. Speaking of, I totally lost track- is this the official distribution method for Cyberverse? Are they actually being broadcast, or doing another nonsense obscure-app-exclusive like go90, or is it genuinely just gonna be dashed onto youtube every however often?

In some places, it's on Cartoon Network, but there's been no word yet if it will appear on the UK Cartoon Network. I mean, we RID so it's certainly possible.

Good news, episode 3 is up now!

They are just following the current trend for children's animation, which is 10 min long eps, which are more ideal for people to stream. If the trend changes then hasbro will follow suite.

Because children are idiots with no attention span. At least this is what trend show to corporations and in many ways, they aren't wrong. We treat children like mentally handicapped people and reinforce their stupidity and fleeting mind and then we are surprised they turn out to be shallow and dumb. Children entertainment is no longer written with the idea that a children is 'someone who will one day be an adult': as such, shows are no longer written and made with multiple 'layers' which appeal to different ages, level of maturity or to adult watching the show with them/rewatching a show from their childhood. You know, what made other TF shows (post-G1, that is) and the likes of Batman TAS or the 2000 TMNT shows worth rewatching.

It's the way it is today.

As Ig89ninja has pointed out Episode 3 of Transformers Cyberverse is out. It is able to be veiwed below or on Hasbro's YouTube page. The episode is entitled Allspark and continues the story of Windblade and Bumblebee searching for Bumblebee's lost memory. This episode gives us some backstory on the Allspark and Optimus Prime. Also, Megatron makes his appearance. Have a watch and let us know what you think on the boards! If you have not seen episodes 1 and 2 yet, they are here so you can watch in order.

In Episode 3 of 'Transformers Cyberverse,' while searching his memories to understand the Allspark, Bumblebee makes a more important discovery -- the memory of his friend, Optimus Prime!

Since the first season of this show is called "Chapter 1", I'm thinking that the whole season may be in this hyper-serialized format of being one long contiguous narrative that's been cut into 10-minute portions, instead of each episode being its own separate production.
