Oh don't get me wrong, I adore Unicorn. Top 3 for me along with Wing and 00, and far and away my favorite UC series!

Oh er, Cyberverse, yeah. Don't really have much else to say until they release some more information.

I personally loved Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans and the ending was perfect.

I've never completed any other Gundam series so my opinion is kind of bias.

Bumblebee is in the spotlight in Hasbro's new Transformers: Cyberverse animated series, and we've got your first look!

Cyberverse will star Bumblebee and his best friend Windblade, but the storyline will feature other popular Transformers as well. As you can see in the first image from the show, the art style and overall design is much more of a Generation 1 throwback than its predecessor Robots in Disguise, but this show carries over the Bumblebee focus.

Hasbro revealed the show's official synopsis, which you can find below.

“Bumblebee is on a critical mission where lives are at stake! Only, he can’t remember what it is? It’s a good thing his best friend Windblade has found him to help repair his damaged memory chips. With each recovered memory, Bumblebee rediscovers his past adventures on Cybertron before coming to Earth. He relives fun moments when he played Cybertronian sports with his friends, and even tragic ones that would change his life. His past will shape him into becoming the hero we know today."

Of course, it wouldn't be a Transformers show without Decepticons, and they will be returning in force for Transformers: Cyberverse.

"As each memory is repaired, another clue comes to light that will lead them both to complete their shared mission to save their friends and Earth… however, the Decepticons are hot on their heels and time is running out.”

Bumblebee and Windblade will be the primary Autobots, but you can also see Optimus Prime in the first artwork from the show. It's unclear whether his appearance (and those of other Autobots) will be restricted to just flashbacks, or if they will be joining Bumblebee's journey during the show.

The memory fragments narrative also gives the team a chance to feature classic Transformers stories if they so choose, and the Chapter format could lead the series to feature other eras as well.

Transformers: Cyberverse is being developed by Hasbro and Boulder Media Studios, and will hit television sometime in 2018.

You can find the first image from the show in the gallery.

I wonder how that will play out.Is this still in the same Aligned continuity?The designs look like simplified IDW versions.

I'm interested.Waiting for the trailer!

Forget about it the current team at Hasbro is only G1 fan boys and are not interested in any other series besides adapting Beast Wars to G1 style as the POTP Optimus Primal would like to remind you.

In an ideal world I would hope that they would one day realize that Transformers is a children's franchise with said children being their number 1 priority always and that the brand has moved on past them in these last 30 something years.

But this is reality their just going to be ignorant and complain like something will happen if they do.

Ignorant? IGNORANT? No, not this time. You don't get to sit there and call others ignorant like you're some **** elitist above everyone else.

This premise sounds like CRAP. And yes, it sounds "kiddie". Anyone want to denigrate me for that? **** GO FOR IT!

Because here's the thing, Deadput, and anyone else who wants to have a go, previous series in the past have shown that they can make TF cartoons that appeal to both children AND adults.

You know who is ignorant? Hasbro. Hasbro for developing cartoons that they dumb down because they think kids can't handle stories that are a little more "grown up".

Actually, it's not ignorant, IT'S INSULTING!

Rescue Bots ... here was a show primarily aimed at young kids, but adults could still enjoy it.

On the flip side, Robots in Disguise was aimed at younger kids, and it started off great, but has progressively gotten dumber to the point that it's insulting to its intended audience.

But hey, you want to sit up there on your high horse branding people ignorant because someone dislikes this premise? Go right ahead, its what I've come to expect from you.
