Transformers Cyberverse Season 3 Confirmed to be Final Season

Like I said earlier, this sucks. We could have had something incredible. We got something great, but this is too soon a conclusion.

Thank you so much for not posting the very spoilerific image that a certain other article included with this news of Season 3 being the end.

I also hope it gets a satisfying conclusion, all ends tied. Probably won't hear of a new show until after WFC, so no more TF shows on television for now (as if they were ever prominent programs).

Edit: I totally blanked on Rescue Bots Academy, that's still on tv.

Favourite episode is still Wheeljack "teaming up" with Shockwave. Good times.

Prepare to be blown away by Season 3, beacause it's good. Like real good writing good. I would reccomend it for any fan looking for good, original fiction. Yeah Cyberverse is a sort of "neo-G1" but this season helps break away from those stereotypes.

What's really funny is the fact that the episodes seem to be written as classic 22 minute episodes, but the format seems to just split them apart. The first four episodes (or rather, the opening two parter if we're being realistic), lead into a season that clearly had an emphasis on a whole season arc versus individual, standaloneish episodes. There's a very strong, fun "found family" vibe that makes up a big part of the first half of the season, characterization none of us saw coming. but its pure gold.

In the end, each episode could have GREATLY benefitted from being 22 mins each, but its great for what it is, and we can hardly complain with the (seemingly) mature Netflix show coming out in a few months.

Cyberverse seems like s filler line with a filler cartoon. Bang together a dollar-store toyline from the G1 Evergreen designs (they're basically Authentics), and knock out a cartoon where lots of stuff happens yet none of it of any real consequence, handled bizarrely, like the Seekers.

Exactly how far into Cyberverse are you? Cuz it sounds like you've only watched Season 1 and maybe a little of Season 2.

While Season 1 was just okay, Season 2 was really good and Season 3 is balls to the walls amazing!

I think the best way to handle a new series with mostly new characters is to have it so both new and old fans could appreciate it. Don't have much to say about the story besides hopefully it's written well or if failing that it can be entertaining regardless, I have no idea what a new story could be like, I presume it will be another Autobots vs Decepticon conflict, the question is what would the conflict be.

An actual war, the RID Cops vs Crooks approach, politics, etc


I do think the best way to handle a new cast would to do something similar to the newer RID cartoon sorta, have the mentor/leader character be a "legacy" character like say Jazz or something, someone recognizable to fans while the rest of the main cast be new characters. (Can it be a cast of 6 or 7 this time, I hate the band of 5 trope, it's limited and boring) The rid Cartoon had Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Grimlock, Strongarm and Fixit, the latter 2 were pretty much new characters entirely while Sideswipe and Grimlock were sorta like their G1 counterparts I'd say they were pretty much new characters besides the names.


Other legacy characters could be supporting/background characters like a Bumblebee who shows up from time to time like in Rescue bots but is not a main character.

Well in that case,I'll be quite looking forward to it! Just hope it's not too long a wait, last two seasons came out in September in the States.

Rescue Bots with its 4 seasons of 104 episodes says "Hi!"

I really think there are some folks here who did not watch past Season 1. Season 2 centered on different characters and Starscream and Cheetor if anyone were the standouts from that season. Season 3 was mostly Hot Rod as well, with another great mix.

Cyberverse season 3 may be one of the best and most original takes on Transformers in a while, it was truly a blast

Just finished the show. (Spoilers alone from here on out.) This was a fantastic finale, but I want Season 4 so badly right now! I happened to love "The Other One", and his army of Tarns! Astrotrain desperately needs an Ultimate Class figure. I loved every moment, and the "Autobot All-Stars" at the end were awesome! Perceptor, Rack'n'Ruin, Whirl... Before, I just liked them. Now, I love them! Every character was awesome. I especially wanted more of "The Dweller", as well as a spin-off of Megatron and Dead End's adventures across the multiverse.
Standout characters who need Deluxe Class toys:
Soundwave
Wild Wheel
Shadow Striker
Dead End
Windblade
Whirl
Cheetor
Perceptor
There, I just gave myself an entire wave!

Indeed. Cyberverse season 3 is legit "Beast Wars good".
