This news comes to us from Ehud Landsberg, who is one of the 3 directors for the show. He posted on his LinkedIn account that Season 3 will indeed be the final season for the show, which is a shame considering how good the show has been getting and also just how much love has been shown by the show to many corners of the franchise.
With Season 3 having finished airing this week in the UK and the season actually getting ready to kick off around the rest of the world shortly, it seems we have both a lot to look forward to, and a lot to mourn, as we could have had a long running show with Cyberverse.
What do you think of this news? Are you sad the show is ending? Let us know in the comments section down below.

Edit: I totally blanked on Rescue Bots Academy, that's still on tv.
Favourite episode is still Wheeljack "teaming up" with Shockwave. Good times.

I will not post any too spoilerific, but I will say this: Dead End became one of the standout characters, and he is one of my favorite cons now. He joins First Aid as combiner characters i love outside of the combiner.
Also, The end felt a bit rushed, and I honestly wish this show had used 22 minute episodes, and it really felt like they had another season in mind for this.
This is an incredibly enjoyable show, i loved it!

I also hope it gets a satisfying conclusion, all ends tied. Probably won't hear of a new show until after WFC, so no more TF shows on television for now (as if they were ever prominent programs).

Prepare to be blown away by Season 3, beacause it's good. Like real good writing good. I would reccomend it for any fan looking for good, original fiction. Yeah Cyberverse is a sort of "neo-G1" but this season helps break away from those stereotypes.
What's really funny is the fact that the episodes seem to be written as classic 22 minute episodes, but the format seems to just split them apart. The first four episodes (or rather, the opening two parter if we're being realistic), lead into a season that clearly had an emphasis on a whole season arc versus individual, standaloneish episodes. There's a very strong, fun "found family" vibe that makes up a big part of the first half of the season, characterization none of us saw coming. but its pure gold.
In the end, each episode could have GREATLY benefitted from being 22 mins each, but its great for what it is, and we can hardly complain with the (seemingly) mature Netflix show coming out in a few months.

Cyberverse seems like s filler line with a filler cartoon. Bang together a dollar-store toyline from the G1 Evergreen designs (they're basically Authentics), and knock out a cartoon where lots of stuff happens yet none of it of any real consequence, handled bizarrely, like the Seekers.

Exactly how far into Cyberverse are you? Cuz it sounds like you've only watched Season 1 and maybe a little of Season 2.Deathsanras wrote:Kind of unmemorable as a series. Honestly, Rescue Bots Academy is more memorable with more personality, and that's been dumbed down for the younger audience than its predecessor.

While Season 1 was just okay, Season 2 was really good and Season 3 is balls to the walls amazing!

I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment again but...I'm hoping the Netflix series satisfies the part of me that loves classic Transformers. For a newer Younger/Target audience, I'd love to see something brand new, something I' thought I'd never say. I mean as much as I dislike the Unicron Trilogy, I appreciate its ability to innovate and bring in a whole new generation of fans. The original RiD (Car Robots) was a treat as it brought back vehicles, but preserved the fun and action of a classically styled Robot Anime.
I'd love to see a brand new series, take a dare if you will. Beast Wars was revolutionary for the time, I'd love to see something completely different. All new characters that have no ties to previous mythology. No name drops, just go all out and brand new.
Posted by Deadput on February 28th, 2020 @ 11:42am CST
An actual war, the RID Cops vs Crooks approach, politics, etc
I do think the best way to handle a new cast would to do something similar to the newer RID cartoon sorta, have the mentor/leader character be a "legacy" character like say Jazz or something, someone recognizable to fans while the rest of the main cast be new characters. (Can it be a cast of 6 or 7 this time, I hate the band of 5 trope, it's limited and boring) The rid Cartoon had Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Grimlock, Strongarm and Fixit, the latter 2 were pretty much new characters entirely while Sideswipe and Grimlock were sorta like their G1 counterparts I'd say they were pretty much new characters besides the names.
Other legacy characters could be supporting/background characters like a Bumblebee who shows up from time to time like in Rescue bots but is not a main character.

Did you only watch Season 1 or something? Bee is not the main character.o.supreme wrote:not surprised, and I'm honestly glad. The show did nothing for me. I know some fans liked it, and that is fair, but it is high time we just get away from Bumblebee as a main character.
If anything, Hot Rod is.

Well in that case,I'll be quite looking forward to it! Just hope it's not too long a wait, last two seasons came out in September in the States.

Story Editor Randolph Heard has Tweeted that the season's first four episodes, a four-parter titled "Battle for Cybertron", will be airing on the Sunday of March 15 as an early morning 1-hour special from 7:00am to 8:00am, with each part airing at 7:00am, 7:15am, 7:30am, and 7:45am (the original Tweet contains a typo of Part 4 airing at 7:30am).
Now, while "Battle for Cybertron" is, officially, considered a part of Season 3, it is technically more accurate to call it the proper finale of Season 2, as it wraps up that season's main storyline, while Episode 5 of Season 3 marks the true beginning of the third season's main storyline.
The show's creators are also pleading on Twitter for U.S. viewers (even those tho have already watched all of Season 3 online) to please tune in to the show's proper U.S. airing since more proper viewership of the TV airings may affect the chances of this show getting a follow up. And with just how epic and amazingly wonderful this third season is, right up there with the likes of Beast Wars and others of its level, I implore every one of you to do your best to tune in when you can so that Cyberverse may yet get a sequel, cuz it certainly deserves one after Season 3 proved its worth tenfold.

While I agree on the matter of gender-swapped Cosmos, Meteorfire is an amazing tribute to an amazing man, in terms of his accent and general larger-than-life persona.
Also, is it just me, or do the writers ship Grim and Arcee? 'Cause I keep noticing all these times that Grimlock comes to her rescue, or vice versa.

Yes, it is. The way the Australian accent portrayed is patronising. You don't get to sit there and tell me otherwise. You're not Australian.
That wasn't a tribute, that was a mockery.
Posted by Deadput on March 18th, 2020 @ 6:00pm CDT
If your going to make a character with an accent it's probably best to get an actor who naturally has that accent, from what research I was able to do on Rich Orlow he isn't Australian.
No matter what the intention was for the character the execution is what matters and if it comes off as stereotypical even if not intentionally then it's still slightly "rude".
Edit: Since people are talking about her...female Cosmos is whack, not bad per say nor do I dislike the take but changing their gender is a tad strange, probably could of used a different character
Like Path Finder who's pretty much female Cosmos, actually I wonder if that was partially the inspiration for the gender swap.
This does remind me on how much I dislike the whole thing with how they deal with faceplates or rather the lack of them in the show overall, Wheeljack, Grimlock, Cosmos, etc, Faceplates are great to give characters more facial diversion, I don't mind if they have actual faces under the faceplate and the plates were just battle/mission modes but still.

I abhor gender swapping the majority of the time.
I acknowledge that in a lot of franchises there's more male characters than female characters, and the general consensus is to take an existing male character and make them female.
To do that in Transformers though makes no sense as the last few years we've seen a number of new female characters created and older existing ones background characters becoming foreground characters. So I really have to question the need to gender swap Cosmos when they've done a good job of introducing new female characters in the last few years. Missed opportunity, as you said, Pathfinder could have been used.

Indeed, Gender Swapping works more for characters that are not really established in the first place, for example a better version of this whole thing is with Nova Storm since G1 Nova Storm the Rainmaker is a...non-character that it doesn't matter, then again apparently Cyberverse Nova Storm was originally male as well as potentially Skywarp according to concept art which explains why Skywarp didn't show up for the longest time...Only to also be gender swapped
Then again this Nova Storm only shares the name of the Rainmaker and pretty much nothing else besides being a Seeker so is it really a gender swap or just a nameinsert? (I have forgotten what the fan base calls it when a character has a traditional name but is nothing like the character like say Energon Ironhide)
This is jarring enough for Cosmos but what if that happened to bigger characters say Ironhide or Megatron, it would be even stranger right?

Strange? nah, just outright wrong. The only way it works is if the character has a defined history of being able to change genders.
Of course that brings up the whole debate that they don't have genders at all blah blah blah.
The episode though, was a low point in the season for me. I was able to put aside the gender swapping because the stereotyping was just glaringly in my face.
Overall the season was fantastic and Cyberverse is easily one of the best TF series (provided you ignore S1. )

Indeed, this season has really elevated the show for me after such an "eh" start, my problems with this one episode is mostly nitpicky at worse.
I'm just grateful to have another Transformers show with loads of characters and hope future shows keep on going with it, I like how big the Netflix show cast seems to be as well even if it turns out most of those characters are not important, bigger number of characters including generics makes the world feel more alive to me as well as being able to have more stakes because we all know that no Transformers show is going to off more then one or two main cast members.

Indeed! All very good things, I enjoyed seeing Perceptor once again in a show and Maccadam was indeed a treat, I personally liked how much of a presence Starscream and Perceptor had not to mention a lot of the season 3 cast like Dead End!
This show wasn't perfect or anything but it sure was fun! I think entertainment is the more important factor then quality not that the latter isn't important in cases but if I had to sacrifice one it would be the latter.

Rid15 had the first bot to be deaf and use "cybertronian sign language". Not sure if it felt forced or not, since its been so long since I watched the episode.
What I really came here to talk about however is a subject that I am a sucker for, and that is numbers . I may be a little off, but by my count (even though I haven't watched since part way through season 2...)
But the episode Enemy Line is officially the 1000th overall episode of Transformers in franchise history! No small accomplishment to be sure. Now of course, that does take into account that several of the recent series have restructured to an 10/11 minute format, thus it would take 2 episodes to equal what used to be just one. I have an adjusted number for that as well.
If we calculate all of Cyberverse (season 1-3 as being *done* even though not all episodes have aired in all countries yet).... I am considering RBA Academy S2 as the current running tally.
The most recent episode scheduled for April 25th "My Favorite Rescue" will complete the 934th "full" episode overall
Just a little look back at history:
Episode 1: MTMTE Part 1 (1984)
Episode 100: Headmasters Episode 1 Four Warriors Come out of the Sky (1987)
Episode 200: Victory Episode 23 Struggle at the South Pole (1989)

Now of course my numbers are a bit subjective. I grouped them by series, rather than actual air date, which might change the outcomes a bit. But to arrange them all by airdate , especially when you have multiple series going on at the same time, sometimes in multiple countries isn't impossible, its just not an undertaking I've had the time to take on.
Also my numbers may be subjective in that, while I included the Machinima series and Transformers GO!, I did not include things such as :
Go-Bots, Robotmasters, Transformers: Cyber Missions, or Q-Transformers. I also did not include Nezha since information on it seems to be very limited at this time.
