It’s two episodes. They’re split in half for ad breaks because reasons

I'm just going to wait for CN to actually air it, since I still have the whole last season of RID to catch up on (my DVR decided it didn't like its time slot for some reason).

After watching this, I feel the show has promise. While I give Bee's voice actor credit for being able to pull off so many different voices, I found the whole gag just irritating. I think he has a great voice and hope they eventually drop the radio speak thing so he can just deliver normal lines. My only other contention is the voices for the two seekers. They both sound like angsty teenagers and are in no way intimidating. Decepticons in previous shows were so memorable because they were so delightfully villainous. Thundercracker just sounds like a dweeb! Beyond that, the animation is decent. The sound effects are good too. I'm going to keep watching and see how the show evolves over time.

I enjoyed those first 2 episodes! I think this could have promise. And the Bee voices are kinda really fun if overused at this point

I finally found the episodes online to watch:
Episode 1, "Fractured" - https://vk.com/video-56732771_456239800
Episode 2, "Memory" - https://vk.com/video-56732771_456239801
Now that I've seen them... Not bad. I like that there appears to be a serialized ongoing narrative that carries over from episode to episode, as I was expecting this to be like most other 11-minute shows on Cartoon Network that usually tend to be done-in-one standalone stories, but this instead seems to have nixed that formula.
It does seem to draw heavy inspiration from the backstory of the Aligned media, as though it's drawing influence from the Binder of Revelation despite obviously not being an Aligned show. The AllSpark was launched into space a long time ago, Optimus Prime leads a team of Autobots aboard the Ark to go find it, some other Autobots stay behind to continue defending Cybertron from the Decepticons while the Ark crew is gone, there's a space bridge in orbit above Earth, and more. Plus Windblade's Cityspeaker ordeal from IDW.
The Decepticon voice acting is a bit awkward. It's gonna take some getting used to, but the more we get to hear from them, the more their acting may improve over time. Also, the female purple Seeker is named Nova Storm.
Of course, Bumblebee's radio speech is the elephant in the room, with his natural voice an indisputable breath if fresh air by comparison. However, I don't feel that his radio speech is as bad as it could have been. As it's all being done by one person, Jeremy Levy, I liken his performance to those of Robin Williams and Dan Castellaneta back when they each voiced the Genie from Aladdin, in that they each had to do a ton of vocal impressions and improv work to really sell their performances as the Genie. Jeremy Levy has to basically do the same for Bumblebee's radio speech. The big difference in this case is just that, simply put, Levy is not Williams or Castellaneta. He does not have either their magnetic charm or their star iconography. People would applaud at Williams and Castellaneta for how they each played the Genie even in moments where the Genie fell flat because people knew who Robin Williams and Dan Castellaneta were and already liked them as they were even before being cast into that role. Jeremy Levy, meanwhile, is a relatively new name to the acting world, so he's fighting an uphill battle from the get-go with having to do all of these impressions and make them not only work but also likable and entertaining. Unhelpful in this task is how radio-speech Bumblebee is already looked down upon by the fandom as a tired old gimmick that many have felt has overstayed its welcome, so it was a doomed position for Levy from the start as far as those critical of the radio-speech quirk in and of itself were concerned. Nevertheless, I feel that he served his role well enough to pull it off to the best of his abilities. It's clear that the gimmick is here to stay, but as Episode 2 has shown, it is not the sole form of communication that we will be receiving in this show. So those still groaning over it will at least have the normal talking parts of this show to look forward to.
With that said, for me, the worst this about this show has got to be the eyes, especially Windblade's. The eyes are just so big and yet so blankly devoid of any details that they just look so lifeless and inexpressive. If they didn't want to give anyone pupils and irises to give the eyes more expression like we've seen in so many other series, what they should have done was make the eyes much smaller like how those of the characters from the G1 cartoons, JBW cartoons, Car Robots, and the Unicron Trilogy cartoons were.
Overall, this was a decent first outing for the series. It's got me intrigued enough to see where it'll keep going and for how long.

I honestly didn't expect it to as mature as it is. I thought this would be extremely geared towards little kids, but it's not. It actually appears to be setting up a good plot and I'm definitely interested in watching more of this. Heck, it actually gave me an idea for another Transformers show, but I'm gonna keep this idea close to my chest for the time being...

Yes, the cable box version of Xfinity OnDemand has the third episode, or at least it does for me as a subscriber here in New Haven, Connecticut, while the website version only has the first two.

It may have been a timing thing. I tried yesterday morning as well, and the only thing "Transformers" related on the CN main site was RiD15. (I didn't want to DL another app, so I figured I'd just wait for some other site to get it) They might have added the Cyberverse stuff later in the day, in any case, it appears all links now are up and running. (I even tried a search for Transformers this morning, and NOW both shows are listed instead of just RiD15
There is no real urgency for me to watch this, as it really isn't my thing, I want to watch with my kids. They are the intended audience (though my son is 12 and was very much bored with RiD15 towards the end). I wonder how they will react to this show.

One of our fellow Seibertronians, notirishman has discovered a brand new clip on Cartoon Network's YouTube page. This video we have embedded below is from an episode called "The Journey". Windblade and Bumblebee examine some of Bumblebee's lost memories. We saw some background on this in the previously released clip. In the memory clip we see Bumblebee on a mission with Optimus Prime and Grimlock. We won't spoil anything but we will tell you that the first two episodes are on the Cartoon Network App if you would like to go watch them.

Yeah he has a personality. I like Prime and find RID okay at best but Jesus it felt Peter was just reading from a script and giving nothing. I’m not totally blaming Peter though. They made a point in an epsiode of Prime to say Optimus is just so serious but it gave him no charisma.

I was thinking a lot last night about David’s Optimus in animated and loved it. It pretty was just David Kaye’s actually voice and it was the same as his professor X voice in evolutions but it was so good. I really wanna go back and rewatch animated. Still the best transformers series to me
This dude though is doing his best peter Cullen though and honestly I’d like to see him just try his own thing

And he is doing a good job. I just wish more than anything we’d take a break from trying so hard to be G1 but that’s something I’ve said I’ve wanted for a long time now. Every show has to try be Cullen, or Chris Latoya to scatman Crothers. That’s why I adored megatron and Optimus in animated and really really liked megatron in the fall/war Cybertron games.
But I really did hate Steve Blum’s Starscream. It was just snarky Steve blum. Though it wasn’t as bad as his Shockwave.

But I really did hate Steve Blum’s Starscream. It was just snarky Steve blum. Though it wasn’t as bad as his Shockwave.

Oh wow, I loved Steve Blum's Starscream, so I guess to each their own.

Yeah bare in mind that this was also 2010 when Steve Blum was doing voice work in almost everything. He was Wolverine in every marvel media. I was just done when he was announced as Starscream. It was like Frank Welker in every cartoon in the 70s and 80s. I didn’t grow up in the 70s but I grew up on Cartoon Network when they played everything Hannah Barbara

We have yet another new clip from Transformers Cyberverse entitled Never Trust a Decepticon from the episode Fractured. A thanks to Survivefan23 for linking us. It can be found on Cartoon Network's YouTube Channel. In this clip of the new animated series Bumblebee and Windblade are on a mission when they need to find cover. After finding safety in a rocky area Windblade attempts a cortical psychic patch on Bee to observe his memories. If you missed the previous clip 'Entering Stasis' you can find that here. In other news the first two episodes are out on the Cartoon Network app for those who have acess. Check out the clip below and tell us what you think of the new show!
Bumblebee reunites with Windblade, but has lost his memory completely. He doesn’t even remember the Decepticons! They must enter Bumblebee’s mind to try and retrieve his memories.

I'm liking the new Optimus voice.
And Grimlock is sort of cracking me up. I like the new cast.
Also, in my opinion, Steve Blum was the best Starscream we have ever gotten in terms of voice

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.

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!

Oooh nice, I hadn't realised episode 2 was up! Enjoyed the first ep quite a lot, I really think this series has promise.
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.

Why is Hasbro suddenly making all these 10 minutes episodes for Transformers series? I am liking the Transformers Cyberverse series, but it would be even better as a 30 minutes series, would it not?

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.
