Good ol' Alchemist Prime, errrrr, Maccadam.

Most intriguing, however, is the addition of Alpha Trion, who fans will recall not putting in an appearance in Season One. Perhaps this is an indication that Alpha Trion will make a debut in the shows second season.

Uh about that.

We saw him die in the 13'th episode "Matrix of Leadership" so I don't think he will be making any appearances besides flashbacks

He's just bulky like the Alchemist Prime concept art.


What you think Bulkhead is the only bulky robot out there?

Man do I love those "suave/cheesy" faces in the expression studies.

Am I the only one that thinks these look way better in 2D... You'd think they'd be simple enough right? I don't mind CGI but the CG in Cyberverse looks a little too cheap to do right by the designs.

I never realized how much BumbleBees Robot mode resembles Sunstreakers until this.

Uh, Alpha Trion absolutely was in Season One.

Thats my bad, I totally forgot he was in there when I was assigning news stories.

Thanks Robrobrob for getting all this, much appreciated.


And to answer another comment, I too beleive they look better in 2D and I WISH we had toys of Prime Era engineering to go with this show.

I LIVE FOR THE SUAVE/CHEESY.

GIVE ME MORE SUAVE/CHEESY.

I like the designs, I like the execution of the colors. I just can't stand the faces in the past few series.. Too many "disney" expressions. Too many " warm smiles" . They look like annoying youtubers that are trying too hard to emote . I started noticing this with Disney in the 90s and with CGI characters like Shrek and Yoda .Also hate teeth on transformers. Beastwars had a good compromise with expressions - At times they'd get exaggerated.

When will they realize that you can get a lot more from limited expression. It's actually more realistic. Someone comes in doing all these facial expressions while talking to you I think " how many people did this guy Murder?"

Animators don't seem to get that. They borrowed this from Anime when it started getting popular in the 90s. It's really annoying the hell out of me these days. The flamboyance and eccentric nature takes me away from the story. I also think that the reasoning behind convoying a facial emotion under estimates the viewer. They think that it will confuse children these days if you don't have them winking while at the same time grinning. Oh and why eyebrows? (Old Man voice ) Back in my day you didn't need teeth or eyebrows or winking. Look at the subtle nature of the animation.

It's akin to when George Lucas decided to insert a " NO" before Darth Vader was about to throw the emperor down the pit. Like, we NEEDED to hear that to understand what he was thinking.

I doubt they'll fix it because it's already part of the aesthetic. But It makes me appreciate the subtle expressions in G1. Thinking of Starscream's " Wanna bet?" look.

I really want a Macaddam toy, and good Wheeljack toy of that design. They are so good and cool!

Please limited expressions are called such for a reason.

I'll take actual character expression over dull surprise any day.

If most people are using these kinds of techniques there is probably a reason for so, sounds like you just hate Disney and children exaggerations in a childrens cartoon.

We have excellent news for all those eagerly waiting on news of a second season of Transformers Cyberverse, as Hasbro has reached out to us and given us a look at the first trailer for the second season!

This coincides with the recent reveal of the new entry in the Cyberverse toyline, Spark Armour

Please take a look at the trailer below which we have embedded for your convenience:



Here is the press release accompanying the trailer and gives us hints of what we can expect to see in the second season!

Hasbro wrote:Season 2, titled CYBERVERSE: POWER OF THE SPARK, is set to release fall 2019 with Cartoon Network USA.

In CYBERVERSE: POWER OF THE SPARK, the AUTOBOTS are closer than ever to finding the ALLSPARK, but completing their quest will be tougher than they could have imagined. They’ll face new enemies and be challenged by Earth’s roughest terrain, and along the way they’ll discover that, when near the ALLSPARK, they are imbued with incredible new powers.

Using one of these mysterious new abilities, the AUTOBOTS will convert Earth vehicles into Spark Armor: the battle-ready gear they need to defeat the DECEPTICONS and continue their mission. They’ll convert boats into mech suits to battle Sharkticons in the water. They’ll change planes into jetpacks to take on the Seeker Squadron in the sky. Any Earth vehicle is a chance to instantly level the playing field, turn the tables, and win the day. With the power of the spark in their circuits, the AUTOBOTS will complete their mission on Earth and begin the perilous journey back home, where that same power holds the key to returning life to their planet.

Click here to see what we thought of the first season of Cyberverse!

Thanks to fellow Seibertron users, Survivefan23 and BlackEyedPrime for also sending this news to us.

What do you think about this trailer? Excited to see what happens next? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

This is gonna be good...

First 37 seconds of trailer: Hmm, I didn't think that much of the first season of Cyberverse, and this just looks like more of the same.
38 seconds in: Wait, that almost looked like....
46 seconds: Could it be?
"I am Cheetor, Guardian of the AllSpark"

Well ... there's a character we weren't expecting!

And by that I mean Lugnut.

Excited for the cartoon and the wider range of cameos. The armor gimmick sounds cheap, but maybe for kids it will work.

WHY IN THE EVER LOVING HECK DID THEY MAKE LUGNUT A GIRL? I mean, if it had been a new, random Decepticon Femme named Lugnut, fine, but that is clearly Animated Lugnut. Lumbering, brainless, barbarian, deep voiced, Punch-Of-Kill-Everything Animated Lugnut. With a girl’s voice.

CHEETOR! YAY!

Female body diversity.
You know I'm right.

Does beg the question of why it’s not Strika, the long-standing resident big-girl-on-the-block Transformer.

For that matter, if added cameos are on the docket , I wonder if Ovveride or Thunderblast will ever make an appearance.

Cheetor sounds a little different than I expected, but I'm sure I will get used to it

Strika is land based? Memory isn't always reliable but have there been any land based 'Con in Cyberverse yet?

ShadowStriker? Other than that, maybe Shockwave, if four legged tank counts

This show has already made Nova Storm as (at times) Acid Storm female. Female Lugnut got me excited, regardless.

Shadow Striker (car), Soundwave (SUV), Shockwave (spider tank), Megatron (tank).

I will have to watch season 1 now, even if Grimlocks voice seems daunting/from the school of zero efforts in the trailer.

strika may be land based, but changing her to an aerial vehicle is much less crazy than gender-bent lugnut.

ah yes, forgot about her (which is shameful on my part because I liked her).

But even adding the blokes in, 'Cons seem to be more air based. Maybe that's the explanation for Lugnut.

Unless I'm wrong, I think Shadow Striker was a Seeker (or maybe just a Seeker Commander) before 'Bee done blew her up and Shockwave patched her back together. Which would make her "land-mode" a special case. Even so, ol' Megs turns into a tank, which is a decidedly land mode.

Also,how do we know this the femme-Con will be named Lugnut? Maybe she'll have a different name! Strika even! (Doubt it, but you never know!)

I haven't been here in a while because I was NOT impressed by this series, and I still stand by that. However...season 2 appears to be improved from season 1, I will give it that.

In the thumbnail, who is the blue Autobot between Windblade & Prowl supposed to be. Looks like RiD15 Overload, but he was a con'....Devcon maybe...??

She was always a car.

Turns out that Female Lugnut is not Lugnut.

From the Twitter of Story Editor Randolph Heard:

https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096138178887528448

Actually it's not Lugnut. Similar look, new character

https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096143593897512960

There were some reservations about changing Lugnut so instead we were allowed to invent a new character who is pretty awesome

https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096144183612428288

Honestly, it's because we loved the look of Lugnut. The character is new for Cyberverse but does have a friendship with Lockdown

https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096145150697299968

Character has a great name, but we want to let it come out when she premieres

Ah, well, I thought I might be wrong. Figured I'd suggest it as a possibility.

...huh. Apparently we do know. Well, I guess my post was 50% correct, even though I never thought it would be? Does that count as being right, even though I didn't mean to be?

Decepticon Stryker wrote:Calling it now: Lugnut's sister.

Heh heh - https://twitter.com/RandolphHeard/status/1096144779811860480

So it’s Lugnut’s twin sister?

I love that. Could be

If they wanted a burly female 'con they could have just brought back Strika. Okay, granted she was technically an Autobot in Beast Machine but due to her role as a member of the 'bad guy faction' from her show, she's generally re-conceptualized as a Decepticon anyway.

Seriously, Strika has a cool design, why can't Hasbro remember she exist?

Lugnut's sister?? Sweet! toy, preferably one of the better looking ones?

Lockdown! Yay for his return!

What is up with this timeline? Blurr is alive here, and Bee has his voice. Is this going to be done ins flashbacks too?

Cheetor got me all pumped up. Love how our kitty cat has continued to evolve from rookie (BW) to capable commander (BM) to tribe leader (IDW) to wise sage that succeeded Alpha Trion (Botcon) and now the guardian of the Allspark. I love it! The character choice was spot on (heh, puns)

The Allpark wants to see Optimus Prime and Megatron duke it out!

Initially when they had the powered-up mode I thought 'oh hey I guess that's the toy gimmick' but, as it turns out the show model is quite different and noticeably more detailed and better-looking than the toys. That said, I gotta say: first we got Waspinator briefly in Animated, then Optimus Primal in Power of the Primes and now Cheetor.

Can we just get a new Beast Wars show already? Yeah, it won't be as good as the original but I'd just want to see something other than GEEWUN being rehashed for a change. It's what, 20 years old and more now? Surely it is old enough to not only milk my generation but also to be new and fresh to the kids (and store shelves). Just going to have to deal with BW Megatron being fluffy and fuzzy now.

I think Dinobot would be the one you should be more concerned with! He will find feathers suitably unfitting a Warriors honor!

so i rewatched the trailer and the bot i think you think is blurr is actually just another generic autobot with the same color scheme as blurr, and bumblebee talking could happene because of ratchet or something around those line

I noticed the Blurr thing a little bit ago actually, I had hoped people would just pass over it considering my mistake

Wow, never expected to see Cheetor again.

My boy Lockdown?
My boy girl Lugnut?!
FREAKIN' CHEETOR?!
Also nice to have Bumblebee talking normally again. The Movie-esqe audio sampling was kinda cute, but it'll be nice to be done with it. Also wondering if we'll see full on Maximal/Predacon ranks, since we have quik boi and Sky-Byte.
