Still need to catch up on RID S3, but even knowing Cyberverse is starting next month isn't making that seem all too urgent anymore.

If I hadn't seen the first clip, I'd be right along there with you.
But I suspect I'm not missing anything.
But hey, there's always someone else on YouTube to help us out!

You're missing a low effort, low quality animation show.
Fingers crossed after this show gets axed they go back to putting the time into making something worth watching and re-watching.

Animation withstanding (looks like something out of a video game), what else is low quality? The writing seems at least decent and the voice acting is alright.

Thank you.
And now I'm finally able to.. criticize it.

Actually I'm expecting this to be a hit with the "target" audience. Enough of a hit for a couple of seasons at least.
What we need is either someone brave enough to try a new direction or the whole market to shift away from this style. As a business in can't blame hasbro for chasing after money, it's their purpose after all.

I’m there with you. I don’t mind what we’re seeing. It’s aimed at a younger audience and it looks like it’s going to be a fun series. I’d really love to hear what kids are going to think and not the kids who have parents that come on here and say how their kid hates it and says it for babies because their parents have been telling them it looks like that so they can come here and use their own opinion that they’ve convinced their child that they have.
The animation is unique, the designs are very stylized which I’m on board for.
Wanna throw a fit about bumblee not talking in a cartoon? Okay go ahead but it’s been a characteristic of his for over a decade now and it’s something that’s been cemented in a modern bumblebee. He was in one cartoon 25 years ago for 2 seasons and had only a handful episodes that he starred in and was forgotten for almost 20 years until he was revived in 2006 with a new classics toy.

The cartoon animation awful through out. About half was quality animation BUT it revived the brand. There are plenty of people in the fandom that will say the unicron trilogy brought them back or introduced them to transformers.
I think this is what Hasbro is trying to do with Cybetverse and I hope it does. I don’t know if I’ll tune into it not because I don’t think it looks good I already said I’m for it but I’m just not into cartoons. I don’t watch cartoons anymore. I read comics and collect CHUG but even now I’m considering retiring from collecting. I feel power of the Primes has given my collection every character I wanted to complete my collection.

His cobbled-together radio speak is an effective homage to Bay-Bee, but in the two clips we've seen, I just didn't think it was executed all that well. That Spit-Cup thing in 'Kaujudo: ______ of the Duel Masters' that spoke in internet memes had a slightly more amusing vocal pattern than Bee has exhibited here. Maybe it's just that conveying character beats through this speech pattern takes too long for two short clips, but amnesiac-Bee's just alternating between lame and bland so far.
I do genuinely like the animation style for being different, but there's also a certain blandness to it. Hopefully kids will find this show memorable, but what I've seen so far just reminds me of Michael Moorcock's theory that the end goal of all art is to achieve 'The Condition of Muzak'. To keep things fresh, the next leg of the franchise may need to take the risk of a Beast-Wars-level sharp turn.
Or this show might get interesting...but the theme of a major character questing to regain lost memories kind of implies retreading familiar territory.

Slowly they whittled the cast down until their last two beloved stars: Bumblebee and Windblade. I love the Takara Legends Windblade headmaster toy.. such a great design. Why make her look stupid? And Bumblebee omg... they're really playing the amnesia trope? and making him look like a stubborn obstinate child is not helping, is it? I just can't figure out the audience for this show other than extremely young kids...

He’s the introduction character. He’s learning about himself as you’re learning about him and the transformers. That’s why we get humans in the cartoons. We got spike and the transformers told him(us) about them and what they are. Same with every cartoon we’ve gotten, you have to have that character that needs to be there to introduce the transformers to. For what we’ve seen so far bumblebee is going to be that character in this show and giving him amnesia is a way to introduce the transformers to the audience.

That said, there is plenty of time for the writing in this series to surprise us all, especially once they've done all the basic setup.

It did sound like he mostly had TMNT sound bites to choose from. Sadly, the effect reminded me more of Poochie, recycling worn out catch phrases from the ether...Sabrblade wrote:Mikey was a radio-speaking vocal impressionist?YoungPrime wrote:Wow....so lazy and predictable!

Check out the full trailer, featuring some of the San Diego flashback /memories sequence, some of the characters, including super well spoken Grimlock, and more - and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!
The designs for Decepticons Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, and heroic Autobots Bumblebee and Optimus Prime are direct homages to the after school cartoons that started airing in 1984.
“When we were designing the look and feel of Transformers: Cyberverse, we were inspired by the classic clean appearance of the original G1-style,” Tom Warner, Senior VP for the Transformers franchise at Hasbro, which is producing the series. “This was the design we initially fell in love with in the ‘80s and it felt like the perfect fit for this new origin story.”
[...]
The show features Jeremy Levy as the voice of Bumblebee, and Jake Tillman as Optimus Prime. Ryan Andes voices the dinobot Grimlock, while Sophia Isabella is Windblade, who is helping Bumblebee unlock his damaged memory bank.
On the side of the bad guys, Marc Thopson voices megalomaniacal Megatron, Billy Bob Thompson is the duplicitous jet Starscream, Andes pulls double-duty as cyclopian Shockwave, and Deanna McGovern is Shadowstriker.
Fans seeking an early preview can catch Episode 1 on the CN app starting Monday, with new episodes every Friday.

Did you ever think for a second that this is bumblebees memeory and he's remebering wrong and it’s a gag?
If not Grimlock can be smart. He’s smarter in more fiction than dumb. People don’t seem to realize that.

Your tone seems a bit off. It was just a question. I get that Grimlock was even said to be smart in G1 but just played dumb (at least in the comics and it's why i used quotation marks around the word smart). I was just a bit surprised hearing that kind of voice coming out of him. I'll stay out of this topic if folk gonna be snippy. Gotta go out anyways.

Honestly, I was never able to get used to the look of TFA. It is much better as a radio show IMHO. Maybe that's how I'll have to take in this new version as well.
Posted by ArmadaPrime on August 23rd, 2018 @ 5:09pm CDT
Also, pretty sure they just revealed both Arcee and Chromia! Whether they'll make it out of flashbacks and into the land of chracters-with-actual-lines is yet to be seen, but here's hoping...

Thank you for you excellent input. I strongly disagree with... pretty much everything written here and state so now. It's a new voice team, a new cartoon, and a new set up seeing as how only the Machinima stuff was 11 minute episodes. And that was an atrocity on the lines of Energon.
I hope this ends up more like Animated, I really do. I enjoyed it and I hope others reading this but don't comment agree

you know im kind of looking forward to this fresh start with a new voice team and hope its everybit as fun to watch as it appears to be and bring in new characters from time to time
dont get me wrong Peter Cullen will always be Optimus Prime and Frank Welker will always be Megatron to me, but they had their day and they are sounding like they are showing their age
so on with the show

Animation style is Awesome as well. Twas a HUGE fan of TF Prime and its clean yet gritty style. But have no qualms at all with this one. Remember TF Animated? Quite meh at 1st that turned out crazy awesome after.
Remember all man-child sirs (Self included), this Is a Show geared towards kids 1ST. Adults always second (Or last perhaps..lol).
Thats been Hasbro's MO ever since its founding.
Looking forward to this series .

Lol. Yup t'was Meh at 1st.
Starscream's ep03 fight, even the Nemesis encounter and the scuffle that followed are in the "turned out crazy awesome after" category. Thats how fast it un-Meh itself.
