Has anyone else noticed Skullcruncher seems to have a new insignia in his chest?

I wonder if that's a new faction spun off from renegade Decepticons, or related to Mandroid (far more likely, given the spider-like legs, in my opinion).

No,i'm not even the first one.Are we talking alone or what?

[AllNewSuperRobot]

He might be something akin to Animated's reinterpretation of Headmaster.

Or its simply squad markings/rank. Optimus and Elita have similar new markings.

A squad of animals?Because that's the only common thing with Bombshell.Does it means they have primitive minds?So much that it's worth a new symbol.

Who knows. My point was more that everyone was focusing on skullcruncher when others already had new symbols. Unless it's something truly important to the plot, I'm expecting something like squad markings or rank, and nothing more. For example that symbol might be the personal mark of whatever con is leading the squad that skullcruncher is in, and can easily be changed if he goes to serve under megatron directly.

I'd say the Mandroid connection is a strong possibility.

Subsequent series have really had a fetish for dividing the Transformers into more and more sub-factions.

Skullcruncher looks a little out of place. He looks very much like prime megatron if you squint.

He definitely looks reminiscent of Prime designs and a similar level of detail in the character model.

We finally have an official release date for Transformers Earthspark. A post from Nickelodeon and Paramount on Instagram give us a new poster stating the release date to be November 11. So 2 month away. it will be interesting to see how close to that date the toys will be readily available at retail. The show will be available on Paramount +.

A little later than I was expecting, but still not too long to wait.

Interesting. A show about war veterans premiering on Veterans Day.

I thought that was just a thing in canada, I didn't know both canada and the US shared veterans day.

The poster reminds me just how bad (imo) the sister's head design looks, well not the design itself but the size, it's like she has a Transformer sized head on a body, and the eyes too look like they were accidently scaled wrong.

All the other human characters look just fine, which is why it's distracting for me.

Anyways besides that I like the poster, in general I'm happy to have some main Transformer character that seem to be decently original in addition to mainstays like Prime and Bee, a drone and what I recall being a motorcycle with a sidecar are pretty refreshing for alt modes.

Are those TREE symbols on Optimus Prime's shoulders? Please don't say that Earthspark is going all "Captain Planet" on us...

It's just the autobot symbol imbedded within a larger symbol showing his alliance with humans. Megatron has the same symbol but with a deceoticon logo imbedded in it.

So, this means there will be or who would ally themselves with other things than humans? Like Aliens or Mole People perhaps? Then all those sub-factions may fight each others?

In this series the war is over and everyone seems to be working together hence the similar symbol motif. The main villain is Mandroid.

I'm really looking forward to this series since it seems to be doing a lot of things that haven't been done (in animation anyway) like the Terrans and non-aggressive Decepticons.

Hmmmm..... Very interesting premise.

But they are agressive.If only Megatron is charitable:he will be a contrarian like Sentinel,different but nothing else.

The terrans from the spawning pool are miraculous pets of death,not a new information from me but a judgement:everything will be solved by the adults or by a miraculous mutation(this part can be fun if there's créativity...The MAX STEEL way,not DIGIMON),i hope they will explain the indestructible mommy truck but i doubt it.Miraculous resolve again and again plus some CODE LYOKO fights whatever it is the authentic inspiration or not,the humans are not allowed to be shoted directly and that's problematic.Sound original only if you lack some références,maybe satisfysing enough in spite of that.

You entirely misunderstood my point. I was talking about the concept of non-aggressive Decepticons, not that all of them are suddenly non-aggressive (though I have a feeling it wont just be Megatron, he has too many loyalists in any continuity). We got a hint of that in the Unicron Trilogy with Starscream, but then they kinda ruined it.

When I said "in animation" I was clearly talking about Transformers animation, not all animation ever made. I'm more than aware of the whole "pet" concept, I was a teen when Pokemon and Digimon came west. We got our own version with Minicons in the Unicron Trilogy, but this is different. They're supposedly being treated as family members to the humans and they're being promoted as actual Transformers, just born on Earth (rather than spawns of Unicron). It's an interesting take.

I am excited for the series, though I will need to figure out how to watch it. The Cons and Terrans have really grabbed my attention

Megatron is a contrarian like Sentinel,IF he's the only one,rehash of ANIMATED,not a truly new story in animation and that's spéculatif anyway.

They are still overpowered pets even with some semblant of personnality,the concept is large,i'm not fooled:"Can we keep them?They may crush the living room when they play by fighting.But can we keep them?".Their birth is a total miracle while we are at it.The minicons are spawns of Satan?Ouh,that tell so much.

RID 2015 was a worse plagiat of the TV series for LILO AND STICH from TRIPLESIXNEY.It is noticeable and matters invariably.No excuses:"original for this licence".I don't discuss that,"maybe satisfysing enough in spite of that".

[william-james88]

I liked RID2015. Though I think what I loved most about it was how old-school it felt in terms of show promoting a Toyline.

Though unfortunately, so many cons did not get toys. I really wanted several of those designs that didn't get toys to actually get them. Chop Shop is still a huge loss for not having a toy

And many of those who did get toys didn't get them until a whole year after their debut.
