Episode 4 of Transformers Cyberverse Now Online, plus 9, 10 Synopses

Yep, of COURSE the Irish TV Production company is the one to introduce tghe oldest Transformers Pub in fiction to the children's TV show. But I oddly can't wait to see how they handle it.

Uh, Animated?



Also, Rescue Bots had High Tide mention the pub as well.

Episode 4 is on YouTube now as well:

Ugh....It's funny how a fangeek mispronunciation addressed in a BW episode over 20 years ago, rears it's head again. Great research there on the part of Cyberverse writing staff.

Prime repeatedly saying TeleTRON, like nails on a chalkboard.


[Inset obligatory Star Trek parody joke] What did Bumblebee see when he went to use the toilet?

Answer (the first two words spoken in this episode)

Watched a little of this, and I found Bumblebee hilarious. I liked that they at least attempted to do the whole Bayverse thing of "Bumblebee can't talk".

Windblade is a welcome modern "regular cast" Autobot. Like the Seekers, and one of them appears to be a female Decepticon? What's up with Grimlock?

There's two female cons: Slipstream and Shadow Striker (I think)

Yeah, but he meant Nova Storm. Slipstream hasn't appeared yet.

The episode Whiteout is now on YouTube

Unfortunately Hasbro have now location locked the video's so those of us in the UK can no longer watch these in YouTube.

Well that's annoying, I wonder why they did that? I would have still recorded it off cartoon network to rewatch so they would have still got the viewers.

Good thing there's still KimCartoon to fall back on for that, on which the episode should be up sometime tomorrow.

A couple of news updates on the new animated series Transformers: Cyberverse, currently airing on Hasbro and Cartoon Network channels - and a warning that most of the clips below will probably be unavailable to viewers outside of the US, due to region locks - as the fifth episode in the series 'Whiteout' is now currently online, and watchable on the official Hasbro YouTube channel!

In Episode 5 of ‘Transformers Cyberverse,’ a mysterious clue from Bumblebee’s memory leads Windblade on a treacherous journey to the snowy Himalayas where The Ark crashed.

Additionally, we also have previews for the upcoming episodes 6, 7, and 8 - respectively 'Megatron is my Hero', 'Cube', and 'Terminal Velocity' - courtesy of the Cartoon Network channel instead. Check them out if you can, and make sure to head into the comments section for an inevitably helpful alternate link you cannot.

Clicked on the link just to check but yeah episode 5 is region locked -_-

I will send you a facebook link when i get to my laptop later. Anyone else getting Star Trek vibes in episode 4?

@Burn I'm lazy, so it's easier to wait for the link to the official hasbro youtube link

You're news crew, goes without saying.

Episode 6 is up to watch on Dailymotion (having already aired in Canada) - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uk1j6

Ta Sabrblade.

I'm really enjoying the memory searching stuff. It's pretty fun.

And having Megatron rip out his voice box in the show, wow.

Albeit, offscreen and unseen, with only the sounds of its beginning heard before cutting away to another scene right as it was about to happen, which is probably how they were able to get away with it.

Still, the fact they went that route of a direct quote saying "he ripped out my voicebox" on TV and then it actually being shown in some offscreen manner but still present in the show is something generally not seen.

Also, if anyone else outside the U.S. still hasn't seen Episode 5 (due to Hasbro region-locking the official YouTube uploads), here it too is on Dailymotion - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uepfu

Also also, this is amazing:

We're just ignoring the fact that Shockwave has a bunch of mini-mes for minions? That's instantly my favorite thing about this incarnation. Also, I LOVE the speakers on Soundwave's shoulders. And finally, was Bumblebee friends with everyone on Cybertron before the war? Because it seems like everybody knows him and likes hanging out with him.

Decepticon Stryker wrote:Because it seems like everybody knows him and likes hanging out with him.

Wouldnt you?

And yeah, the mini me minions were cool. makes me regret less the fact that I now have a warrior and ultra Shockwave.

What is going on!?!?
Did I miss an episode?

Six of them are online so far. I put out links to 5 and 6 above.

Ok now after watching the episode...
- the chase scene gave me Beast Machines vibes (in a good way)
- I wish the episode was able to explore the Cybertronian government before Megatron a bit more
- the scene where Megatron does you know what was chilling

Overall, this is now my favorite episode so far!

Thanks to online TV guide website TVPassport, we have some Canadian listings for upcoming episodes of the new animated series Transformers: Cyberverse - but still valid for their synopses for all viewers, as Hasbro US still airs them on their own channels, plus Cartoon Network.

Specifically, we're looking at episodes 11, 12, 13, and 14, and we get more of a look at Shockwave, the Seekers, Slipstream, and don't forget the introduction of Shadow Striker to the show in episode 9! Check out all the titles and synopses below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

Episode 9: "Shadowstriker" Oct. 14, 2018
"Bumblebee revisits memories of his arch-nemesis Shadowstriker and learns there's more to being a hero than just knowing how to fight."

Episode 10: "MacCadam's" Oct. 14, 2018
"Bumblebee remembers MacCadam’s, his favorite hangout on Cybertron."

Episode 11: “Sabotage”
Sunday October 21, 2018 on Teletoon Canada. “Shockwave traps Bumblebee in a false memory designed to convince him he’s a Decepticon.”

Episode 12: “Teletraan-X”
Sunday October 21, 2018 on Teletoon Canada.“Windblade and Bumblebee trace an Autobot signal and find themselves lured into a trap set by Slipstream and her Seekers.”

Episode 13: “Matrix of Leadership”
Sunday October 28, 2018 on Teletoon Canada.“Bee learns the meaning of leadership through three memories of Optimus Prime.”

Episode 14: “Siloed”
Sunday October 28, 2018 on Teletoon Canada. “The Seekers attempt to extract the location of the Ark from Windblade’s memories.”

So, we'll finally see why Shadowstriker hates Bumblebee so much, as seen in the other flashbacks we've seen so far.

I'm already getting tired of seeing the Decepticons doing the following in EVERY scene:

1) One and/or a gang of them land and clench their fists, gritting their teeth and looking threatening.

2) They brandish GUNS. LOTS of guns. Guns mounted on every arm and wrist module. Guns atop guns atop guns atop guns, popping out all over them.

3) Then they totally IGNORE all their guns and run forward to try and PUNCH the Autobots.

Come on you writers - what the bleep? I mean - what the bleepity-bleepity-bleep-bleep-BLEEP???

I hope we see more of Thundercracker and Nova storm ^^ I really like them so far! maybe even episodes based around them! And Slipstream too! And hope they get to win some too!

Sabotage sounds awesome!

What about Slipstream in episode 5? She used her blasters

Megatron is my hero is now on Hasbro’s YouTube channel

For the U.S., anyway:

Thanks to fellow Seibertronians Sabrblade and Ig89ninja keeping an eye on all the right channels, we have news of the latest episode from the animated series Transformers: Cyberverse - episode 6, 'Megatron is my hero' - is now on Hasbro’s YouTube channel, and viewable by those who are in the US due to region lock on the channel.

If you are, take a look below, and join in the discussion about the episode and the series in general in the Energon Pub discussion boards. Are you watching? Let us know!

Windblade is trying to make Bee understand who Megatron is.

While I wasn't too impressed by this series at first (I went out of my way to finish up RID first because I incorrectly thought Cyberverse was a direct sequel, so confusion was a part of it), it just keeps getting better and better. The 11 minute format is problematic for telling stories that are neither too serialized nor self-contained, but the 'Bumblebee's mind-blowers' structure was actually a stroke of genius for adapting to the truncated format. Maybe they learned from the mistakes of Machinima?

And THIS episode was simply MARVELous! They actually homaged State Games! (Well, and IDW, but Megatron's rise to power there was also an homage to it) Bee regaining his earliest memories of Megs as his hero, then the memory of his hero ripping his voice box out several years later, all within 10 minutes, could not have been a better use of the available time for establishing who his enemies are, and why. (And it nicely homaged Orion Pax's character arc in War Dawn to boot!)

The only flaw, IMO, was that it still wasn't clear exactly what the war Megatron started was about, or what the Autobots initially thought he was going to do to make Cybertron a better place instead. Eliminating opposition before building a Decepticon army large enough to make a galactic empire is easy enough to understand, and they couldn't cram everything into one ep, so hopefully we'll get more details before too long.

And since using the allspark to crank out an unnatural amount of 'Cons carries shades of the G2 Cybertronian Empire's spawning process, again, things are looking marvelous all over. The only way this show could make me happier is if Jhiaxus actually showed up!

Now if the toyline could only give me a definitive scale for molds I'd want to collect all the male and female seekers in...

Ive been watching this series as the episodes drop and I feel it'd be a lot better if they spaced some things out more. This episode should have a been a two-parter, with the rise and fall of Megatron being better explained. The cliffhanger could have been bumblebee saying "Megatron is my Hero!" and then part two could have ended with the revelation that Megatron tore out his voicebox. Instead, it's all smashed into such a short timeframe that it isnt given enough time to set in. It just feels like Megatron decided to be bad out of nowhere and that suddenly a war was just happening with no buildup.

It really does feel like this show is a sort of "Take 2" on the lore that the previous brand team crafted for the Binder of Revelation, as a lot of the story elements that we've seen so far in this show (Bumblebee's damaged voice dealt by Megatron, the AllSpark being launched into space to keep it the out of Megatron's reach, the Ark being launched specifically to pursue the AllSpark, Megatron having been a gladiator who befriended Optimus and called for a political revolution before he and Optimus had a falling out and took opposing sides against each other, Optimus having once been a "file clerk", Shockwave being an eccentric yet creepy mad scientist, etc.) feel like they were lifted wholesale from the Aligned media (the novels, the Prime cartoon, the FOC game, and more).

Transformers Prime didn’t explained the origins of the war and why Megatron started it until the season ones finale

G1 didn’t do it till halfway through season 2 with war dawn. Two seasons of ‘decepticons are just bad’ and even that episode solidified that fact.

Animated never explained motives of Megatron and the deceptions at all.

Beast wars didn’t reveal Megatron motives till code of hero which was one of the last episodes in season 2

I like this for what it is--it is a neat little way to get all the beats of Neo-Generation 1 out to a younger audience, and it's clearly being written by someone who knows their stuff about Transformers. At the same time, I can't help but wish a bit more time was spent on making the bots seem a bit more "real" and that the dialogue wasn't as cardboard. That said, this is the closest we've gotten to a retelling of G1 in animated form.

Randomhero wrote:Animated never explained motives of Megatron and the deceptions at all.

Sure it did. He felt disgruntled over the Autobot domination of Cybertron that came about from the Decepticons having lost the Great War and set out to pursue the AllSpark so that he could harness its power into a weapon powerful enough for him take back Cybertron from what he viewed to be the oppressive tyranny of the Autobot government. And what's more is that he wasn't that far off, what with the rigid curfews, strict regulations, and heavily enforced sense of law and order that had been put into effect on the planet by the Elite Guard ever since word of renewed Decepticon activity hit Cybertron, and which was only further enforced when Longarm was exposed as Shockwave and Ultra Magnus was taking out of commission by the aforementioned Decepticon spy.

Okay? Thats not the issue im having here. My personal problem here is that it was handled much too quickly. It wasnt allowed the time it needed and was dealt with much too quickly imo. It jumped from Megatron being idolized to demonized in a matter of minutes.

It’s also the 6th episode of a series that’s gimmick is mainly flashbacks now to build the world. Also all the shows before have mostly explained stuff through dialogue that’s last only a couple seconds. This series is showing you the history. Do you really think this will be the only flashback we get to discuss this topic? This was an introduction to the decepticons through bumblebee. We’re going to get a lot more to flesh out the shows history like we’ve already been getting

That’s fan interpretation and stuff that was hinted at in the almanac but just by going off what the cartoon did for the sake of the common viewer the show never stated what the decepticons were or why Megatron started the war. The series opened using war dawn and saying there was a war and that’s all. Yes there are hints he wanted the allspark but it’s never explained why he wanted it other than “It’s powerful”

The first episode literally told us about the "Autobot tyranny" via Blackarachnia's snark and Megatron's desire to harness the AllSpark into a "powerful weapon" when he crush Starscream's wing. Later, Megs reiterated his revolutionary propaganda when he broadcast his being alive to all Decepticon channels throughout the cosmos in the third episode of Season 2, and then told the Constructicons in their debut episode about the Autobots having oppressives the Decepticons off Cybertron after the war was lost. We then saw the strict state of Cybertron in the penultimate episode of Season 3. This was all stated directly in the show itself.

I hate this ten minute format. this "episode" felt like the opening of an actual proper 30 minute long cartoon. just when i was getting into it, it ends.
