The major news from the Hasbro Investor day webcall, which took place today in Burbank rather than Rhode Island, and to which we were able to listen once it was over, has revealed the next animated project (the one being developed by Boulder Media, alongside Rescue Bots Academy) that will follow Transformers: Robots in Disguise - Transformers: Cyberverse!
Divided into chapters - Chapter One and Chapter Two were mentioned, airing in 2018 and 2019 respectively - it will serve as a prequel of sorts, focusing on the characters and the Transformers mythology from a remastered version of Generation One (as seen many times before, but most recently in the Busy Book images) that will possibly lead into the animated feature (also confirmed in the webcall, and which we first reported on here). Hasbro have also just uploaded the slides used during the call, so we have images to share with you too!

Much as I love G1, I'm a bit sick of seeing it everywhere. We've got the IDW comics, we've got Machinima, we've got an entire toyline devoted to G1 updates, we've got a lot of non-G1 stuff being based on G1 anyway - including RiD 2015 veering more towards G1 lately despite its more original roots - and we get a £150 titan-class G1 figure every year.
There's nothing wrong with a new G1 cartoon series in and of itself - and there's certainly nothing here to suggest its quality one way or the other so it can't possibly be judged - but when I saw the letter 'G' and the number '1' the only reaction I could possibly have was "Again???"

to be honest as big of a generation one fan as i am i would rather see a continuation of season 4 rebirth
like it was meant to be not a whole re telling of the very begining, but although if a re telling of the G1 story is happening i hope they do good on story telling and quality animation

Yum can I have more of that stale 32 year old G1 bread? I love eating the same loaf all these years and I'm totally not poisoned and sick of it... 
The most that G1 should influence is a few G1 characters and designs inspired by the originals and maybe a couple of concepts but I would love more original characters like how Rid does it except maybe a little less of them so their meaningful and actually important to the show unlike a certain wolf pack from rid.

I guess but it should have good writing like Beast Wars.
It doesn't have to be dark and edgy for "adults" heck look how dull Prime was since that show was never allowed to have fun or how some people hate the live action films.
I just hope we don't get anything like the Machinima show.

Dull? I loved Prime...
In general, though. Some character designs are too classics to ignore, but Generations has been awesome, and I don't really want to be buy two separate sets of G1-Updates at the same time. I would love a well-written G1-story, though.

Animated had some pretty heavy G1 influence, and it still managed to be fresh and vibrant. I'm worried about Cyberverse, but I won't abandon all hope just yet.
RBA not being for another two years is ludicrous, especially since it'll be the only thing left that isn't G1 or Bayformers.

I see why people love the show but Prime is absolutely lifeless in the show and I don't mean in a lack of new robot characters.
Where were the civilians? Why were all the locations all barren and abandoned...even that one time they went to new york they only met one human in the whole episode? Why was the show nothing but relic hunts, no change of status quo and characters with either zero or consistently resetted character development?
The new Rid show might be a little boring but at least it has life and humans running around on Earth like they should.

Oops. Bandai paid off the photographer.
I wonder, do comic fans complain about getting the same comic characters over and over again like Transformers fans do? "JLU again?" "More Avengers?" I feel like I don't hear these things nearly as much as Transformers fans say, "G1 again?"

It's more or less because before 2007, Transformers was always re-inventing the wheel. Rather than a handful of iconic characters like Optimus and Starscream, each new iteration of Transformers would have a completely new slew of characters. The 2007 Movie - ironically - changed that, and then we got Animated and TFP going primarily for G1 re-inventions rather than the more original casts we had in, say, Cybertron and Beast Wars.
Context matters -- unlike Marvel or DC or a lot of other things, it's simply always been in this franchise's nature for a new series to not be a re-invention of a previous one and instead go for something new, and most especially now there are older fans who grew up with Armada or Beast Wars who yearn for and have nostalgia for those and not G1. So it's a bit maddening to see G1 paid homage to again in place of something new, especially when fans of G1 have a huge amount of options these days.
DC fans will always have known and grown up with the like of Supergirl, Aquaman and Raven. Depending on their era, Transformers fans will have grown up with Sunstreaker, Ravage and Dirge; some will have grown up with Rattrap, Terrorsaur and Airazor; and some will have grown up with Hot Shot, Tidal Wave and Sideways.

I wouldn't mind a happy medium - base it in a G1-esque universe but do like IDW and use whoever you please from whatever continuity.
And make a new character or two. Or twelve. Get creative.
Though maybe the actual ideal is to just rip off the recent Bandai/Sunrise strategy with Gundam and run completely new stuff (IBO) alongside blatant but pretty original series fanwank (Unicorn somewhat, Thunderbolt, Twilight Axis), while saving the "universe" wackiness for a downright awesome web series (Build Fighters)

First off, as you all know I really don't like the fan made term that is often used to describe the Original Series. Star Trek fans do no refer to the original series as G1, and neither do I for Transformers.
All semantics aside, a proper retelling or continuation of the original series has never been done. Sure the Prime Wars Trilogy toys are great, but you still have two and sometimes three other toy lines going along with it, so there is no lack of originality there.
To me IDW comics is NOT the Original Series, especially now that you have characters from all different continuities coming in at random, for no apparent reason, its this multi-universal singularity mess that...just is what it is.
and Machinima was DEFINITLY not the Original Series...it was just something I'd rather forget...
Now I do realize that Cyberverse wont be TOS either, but it may be the closest thing to it since the original, which gives me hope. Its just that with a new production company, there is a bit of hesitation on my part as to what the quality of it will be. Also when I speak of the original continuity, I include Beast Wars, and (lamentably) Beast Machines as well, as through writing, they have been tied in directly to the original Sunbow animated series.
Now like others have stated, I would actually prefer something set in that original universe (which we've never had before). Gundam does it in Japan. From time to time, after making several series set in other original settings, they will return to the UC. Hasbro has never done this for Transformers, which is a shame, but I figure Cyberverse may be the closest thing we ever get to that, so I just hope its good.

Shadow Chronicles was awesome, too bad Harmony Gold is such a hack of a company. It took them 20+ years to get that produced, then a few years later they try to pawn off a Yellow Dancer/Lancer film from Mosepaeda as an "all new original movie" that they had nothing to do with...Shadow Chronicles was the only new/original thing they ever did, and unfortunately they are too busy losing money, and looking for frivolous lawsuits against Hasbro and every other toy company that thinks they are infringing upon their IP. If you aren't going to do anything with ROBOTECH...then just let it go...there are plenty of Western fans that want to see Macross 7, Frontier etc... and they are impeding this..
Sorry...rant over...
TF Cyberverse...cant wait to hear more about it.

The less humans the better imho. I watch Transformers for the bots. I can watch pretty much any other series for humans. If there were not many humans in the background during Prime I guess I never noticed. It is nice when shows include details in the background but I think TFP was over budget anyway.

Transformers takes place on Earth there's supposed to be humans living there, but it seems like humanity abandoned Earth in the show like for damns sake the only reason people don't really like the humans is that they are usually not written that well which makes them unlikable but there have been great humans in our franchise... hell some of my fave characters are the rescue bot human family since their really likable and are decently written, transformers would be a hell less entertaining if they did not change into human vehicles which is probably why the show and the toys back in 1984 became so popular.
Thanks for bringing up one of the couple "hilarious" moments in the show by hilarious I mean cringy poorly made "jokes" and reminds me about how Starscream was the worse character on the show since he was treated as a joke after season 1...how the hell did he become second in command in the first place?
Of course my opinion about Tf:P is my opinion but the only time I was humored and laughed in the whole show was the time Jack asked Prime if he wanted to see something funny...the joke was funny but it shows why that Optimus is the worse Optimus there ever was which reminds me that I really hope Optimus is actually charismatic in this show instead of a boring, bland, speech spewing machine.

Now now, boys and squirrels. We should all learn to respect Deadput's opinion no matter how incredibly wrong it is.
Anyways, more G1 crap? Sounds refreshing. I mean, if the writing is good I won't complain, but I think it's about time a Transformers series actually put completely unique, well-thought out concepts into its stories instead of mashing up old ones. Animated did this, Prime did this, closest we got to a unique Transformers show is Beast Wars/Beast Machines and even those had their laundry list of flaws. I think my taste for stories is just getting too high. Probably a good thing, too. Made me realize what terrible writing was present in the likes of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and Doctor Who.

Personally, I find "boring and bland" personalities are better leaders. It's really dangerous to ask for a lot more charisma for the leader character in an action/adventure cartoon/animated series. If I may compare to another of my favorite franchises, Digimon, it is common to make leaders like Tai, Davis, and Marcus. Annoying, obnoxious, and arrogant. No. Thanks. If they can walk the line more toward a Takato or Mikey(Taiki) - they were actually good, likable, leaders. (Although, I think Henry would have made a much better leader than Takato, personally.)
But, again. I loved TFP. Humans were poorly written... Well, Miko was, anyways... And Raf was a cliche.

Except for when its on Cybertron...or a host of other alien worlds. I mean only about 15% of TF:TM takes place on Earth, in a conveniently, remotely located Autobot City, where you don't need humans, but the minimum portrayal of humans in TF:TM is one of the many aspects that makes it arguably one of the greatest single Transformers stories ever. TFP- Rise of The Predacons is also a personal favorite of mine...No Humans. Heck even BWII The Movie which most western fans haven't even seen gets high marks from me for having zero humans. I find it highly entertaining.
I'm not saying I hate all human characters in TF lore, its just that they are way overused in some series, and history has shown, for me at least, -the fewer, the better.

I'm not saying I hate all human characters in TF lore, its just that they are way overused in some series, and history has shown, for me at least, -the fewer, the better.

Sorry about the opinion thing I'm not trying to make people have mine (I have no qualms about stating my opinion on things though) but still doesn't change on how disappointed I felt when I watched Prime as it aired in it's life time since I thought it was going to get better and more grand in scale.
Anyone watche the cgi Clone wars show? I hoped that Prime would be at least half as good...and I'm hoping the new show will have decent writing but I'm expecting it to be cheap effortless pandering to some Adults from the 80's who really should lighten up and move on and not waste their times fuming and whinning for a perfect show. (The perfect Transformers show will never exist it's impossible all we can get is a good show)
Yeah when their on Cybertron whatever I get that but when the show's setting is on Earth? There is no excusable reason for humans not to get involved and heck I'm surprised that the government in Prime was so chill with the Autobots being there and how the military almost never gets involved when they should...although it was repeated and not properly executed I like how realistic the live actions have the government be the overly paranoid people they should be regarding aliens regardless of what side their on.
Best character in Transformers Prime was Agent Fowler who is a human and I should note that I forgot how many times he made me laugh a lot too so there is that.

Anyways, more G1 crap? Sounds refreshing. I mean, if the writing is good I won't complain, but I think it's about time a Transformers series actually put completely unique, well-thought out concepts into its stories instead of mashing up old ones. Animated did this, Prime did this, closest we got to a unique Transformers show is Beast Wars/Beast Machines and even those had their laundry list of flaws. I think my taste for stories is just getting too high. Probably a good thing, too. Made me realize what terrible writing was present in the likes of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and Doctor Who.

Being a g1 fan and not a huge fan of the movies.. I've lapped up most g1 related stuff including generations figures and the prime series. TFA was most fun when they had heavy g1 influenced moments or characters.
Think prime was the best overall series followed closely by beast wars. The g1 cartoon started it all but obviously it was what it was... I'd love an updated g1 experience... the recent video games were pretty good at establishing lore. It was the tf devastation game that really made me want a proper g1 cartoon rehash.
So I am curious about cyberverse, but don't have high hopes re quality etc but you never know.

I thought this posted last time I was here, but apparently not. Sorry if it's a bit behind.
In addition to what Kurona said right after you posted that, comic fans can choose from different books with plenty of options for superheroes. If you get bored with the Avengers, you can hop over to JLU or X-Men
or Teen Titans or Fantastic Four or Shazam or Spider-Man or Booster friggin' Gold for all I care, any number of things. For transforming robots, the field is significantly more limited, and Transformers is really the game in town.

I hope we get varied vehicle modes on both sides.
I want cars, trucks, vans, planes, helicopters, military vehicles, tanks and kinda out there but I would not mind water vehicles either as long as they had a way to function on land (besdies robot mode) maybe M.A.R.B.S?
I would like characters both old and new and maybe some that have been sideline and/or are obscure for example Windcharger is a good character in concept that really has not been utilized well even just the magnet powers but he has a speed weakness as well.

What would really be cool is if they used some alt modes that haven't been done much or done at all before. The one vehicle mode that, to me, seems most overdue is a steamroller, which they've only done as a Japanese-exclusive Playskool Go-Bot and a PCC limb.
But it's a G1 rehash, so I'm pretty sure it'll mostly be the same alt-modes except for a few that need to be changed, like Megatron (can't sell toy guns any more) and Soundwave (nobody uses tape players any more).

It'd be potentially cool to see Hasbro try this with Transformers- make a cool show about mode changing robots that happen to be called Transformers, and throw away almost all of the other tropes. In today's corporate culture of Total Brand Awareness this will never happen, but it's probably what needs to happen.

IBO was such a great breath of fresh air. Basically a mecha anime that happens to have some of the robots named "Gundam", but almost wholly unlike any Gundam show before it. There's a harem ship, the main character shoots a hostage at point blank in the face without a second thought, and A Char shows up towards the end but is really the first example of A Trieze since, well, Trieze.Deadput wrote:ScottyP wrote:Oh don't get me wrong, I adore Unicorn.

I'm talking a jolly walk through a minefield when I say this, but I'm kinda done with the G1 aesthetic. Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for it and it holds a special place in my heart, but I'm also ready to see what else we can do outside of it.
And now here comes the weird part. I'm a TF fan for Autobots vs Decepticons having their war on Earth and a bunch of cool characters on all sides--the very fabric of G1. I want the core of it to stay, but to not be afraid of mixing it up.

First look at the Cyberverse cartoon - http://comicbook.com/2017/10/14/transformers-cyberverse-animated-first-look/
Knee-jerk "kiddie" complaints in 4... 3... 2...
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 really only have two complaints about the show so far.
1: Where the hell Is Windblade's vehicle kibble? How does she even transform? That design is completly horrible when it comes to "Transformer" designs!
2: There seems to be a lack of focus on the Decepticons so far I really hope they don't end up like Prime and Rid's Decepticons being minor generically evil goons.
3: This isn't a complaint but I really really hope there are more main characters in that cast besides the 3 we have been shown so far.
For those who think it looks too simple so far remember when Rid was first revealed compared to the final show?
Look at Sideswipe for example and how the show render looks "better" then that concept image.

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.

The interview states that the new series will once again focus on Bumblebee, but this time Windblade will be his main compatriot for the series. The series will deal with Bumblebee recovering lost memories of his past. You can read some snippets from the interview below, and view the first look image!

Something to do with him getting a live-action movie by Wollyhood or something like that; not sure if you guys have heard

Artstyle has a nice mix between Animated, RID15, Rescue Bots, and even IDW (when it goes cutesy, that is). Still want to see how the show turns out, and hopefully we can get more references beyond G1 or anything more recent (bring in RID Scourge and less organic Dinobot!)

The Aligned continuity failed and crashed hard and based on the description it's a new universe.
It's not going to be IDW either since Cyberverse seems to be a simplified fresh start which also means don't expect anything outstanding compared to the past it will be the standard kids show and nothing deep or remotely interesting.
