Transformers Cyberverse Stop Motion Season 3 Trailer Released

Hasbro has finally put Episode 5, "The Loop", on YouTube.

This is the proper first episode of Season 3, whereas the previous four were more like the proper finale to Season 2.

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.

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

All the way through to the end.

Hasbro uploaded "The Dead End" to YouTube this morning:

And thus my favorite Decepticon from Cyberverse finally makes his vocal debut!

"The Sleeper" is now up on YouTube:

"The Citizen" was uploaded yesterday:

No, they are citizens of Iaconus

No, they are citizens of Iaconus

But how can that be their name if Iaconus is a Titan at that point, rampaging everywhere.

Citizens lived inside Titans, Titans protected their Citizens.

To add, the Titan wasn't the only thing running around, they had full populations that served to maintain them, populate them, and provide a ground army around the Titan.

A lot of things related to your first question are also explained in later episodes, with an important note made in the 2nd to last episode

I am just really confused right now. In that episode it looked like it was their first time facing Iaconus. Then they beat it and lived in it. At least that is how the show made it sound to me (I have yet to watch past this).

You mean in that first scene? They were fighting those alien bug people. Iaconus then stomps down on the enemy (almost stepping on his Citizens too since he is anything but graceful) and Maccadam chants his name like a battle cry with a big smile on his face.

Yeah, they were fighting with Iaconus, not against him. They were battling that alien species. Not really sure how that was confusing

It's all good man.

"The Trial" is now on YouTube:

Thanks to Seibertronians william-james88 and Sabrblade, we have something to keep your little bots occupied for a while. Episodes of Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures have been posted to the official Transformers YouTube channel!

In episode 8, "The Citizen", Hot Rod, Clobber, Whirl, Dead End and Perceptor discover the secret of Maccadam's bar, and in Episode 9 "The Trial", Hot Rod gets captured by the Quintessons, in something of a throwback to "Transformers: The Movie".

Both episodes have been mirrored below, though they may not be viewable from every location around the world.




Please enjoy!

It would be something if Cyberverse had another season.

It deserves it. It was a really fun show

And so, now that the Quintessan invasion is over... Begun, the Cold War, has.

Wheeee! The Thunderhowl episode!

Hey all, I want t make a few articles on Cyberverse, now that it is coming to a close (in terms of US broadcasting on youtube). I want to write 2 articles and wish to know if anyone wants to join in.

The first would be to rate the series as a whole and say why you think others should take a look. I would need a paragraph from whoever wants to participate and then I would make an article with that.

The other article I want to do is a top 5 list. And that list is "top 5 best Characters in Transformers Cyberverse". Who would be up for contributing to that article, is there a particular character you feel very strongly towards?

Mine would be Hot Rod, I truly believe he comes out as the best character of the series. I also love Wheeljack, Grimlock, Windblade (yes, I said it), Soundwave and Shockwave. Wheelack and Grimlock are rather important to me since they really feel new here. I love the designs too. Of course we'll narrow it down to 5 and that will depend on who you feel passionate about enough to help me write an entry.

You shouldn't even have to ask to know I would participate Will. Loved this show, really really good.

Character wise, I think they did fantastic with Dead End, Clobber, Whirl, Perceptor, Hot Rod, and Soundwave. That entire resistance was done very well. Slipstream and Cheetor were also excellent characters and deserve mention

Haha, oh I know I could count you in, I wanted to extend it to others like Sabrblade as well. If you could only pick 2 to write about, which would it be? I am assuming Dead End. And Soundwave is one we agree on as well (along with Hot Rod, though I want to write about him myself).

i think it would come down to Dead End and Clobber.

Slipstream still deserves recognition

I agree. So it would be Hot Rod, Dead End, Clobber, Slipstream and Soundwave in the top 5. That's pretty solid. We have a good representation of the best aspects of the 3 seasons.

Sabr, would you like to write the entry for one of those characters?

william-james88 wrote:Sabr, would you like to write the entry for one of those characters?

I'm honored, but I dunno if I could find the time (the pandemic had made my life only busier and busier since my job is one of those "necessity" ones that requires us to stay open instead of making us work from home).

Plus, if I were to contribute to such a list, I think I'd be more suited to a "Top 5 Unsung Heroes" list rather than a "Top 5 Best Characters" list. When watching the show, I took notice of some characters besides the best ones who seemed to shine in their own ways but who are definitely not among the show's cream of the crop of characters.

One example would be Optimus. While seemingly the typical Prime on the surface, there were nuances to his performance that made him feel less like the stock archetype we've come to expect from modern Optimus Primes (serious, stoic, burdened with duty, no fun, always speaking grandiosely, etc.) and more like there was an Average Joe buried beneath his prestigious veneer (impatience, stage fright, introversion, a geek-like giddiness, actually being annoyed by some of his fellow Autobots, etc.). Such imperfections or aspects of ordinariness have been scarcely attributed to any Optimus prior to Cyberverse finally allowing its Optimus to have more sides to him than just "inspirational leader".

Another example of an Unsung Hero would be Cheetor. While he too seemed like just another Bumblebee/Hot Rod at first, and while his stock role of "MacGuffin's Guardian" made him also a potential Gary Stu (like how he could use the AllSpark to instantly fix whatever problem needed fixing at times in Season 2), our getting to know him more showed us that, despite his preordained role, he really doesn't know what his purpose is in life outside of said role, and actually struggles to fit in with the other Autobots. That one scene of him and Optimus having a quiet moment together in "Party Down" showed how Cheetor really isn't a people person, but would still like to open up to others more. Sure, he's already befriended Bee and Rod by this point, but they're young like him; he still feels like a stranger around the other older bots. But when he and Optimus step away from the party and just enjoy each other's company on the Ark's hull, that felt like the first real connection Cheetor had made with anyone outside of his comfort zone. And though it was brief, it was beautiful.

Of course, if you feel either of these would actually quality as a "Best Character" instead of an "Unsung Hero" (as I see them), I can edit either of these to apply to that "Best Character" category.

No need to edit, those were great. Might use those for an honourable mention. But most of all, was glad to hear your thoughts on this.

We're finally at the Classic Star Trek-esque Repugnus episode:

We're almost to the 2-part series finale.

Part 1 of the 2-part series finale:

well i wasnt expecting TARN !

partholon wrote:well i wasnt expecting TARN !

And you should continue to not expect Tarn.

The appeal of the Cyberverse show has grown within the fandom as a great new entry in the history of Transformers cartoons. Fun for all ages and has some deep cuts to Transformers lore along with new characters, making it the best G1 reboot we've ever gotten outside of the comics. And now it is coming to a close with the first part of the two part finale now online. And speaking of comics, this is the first time we see the Tarn design used in another storytelling medium.

Any fan who has given up on the show should at least give this one the ten minute watch just to see how much the series has grown and how all encompassing it is for what we all saw as a small show. Or just to see their interpretation of Astrotrain.

I ended up really loving cyberverse a lot, once I finally gave it a fair shot. The first season kind of lost me in the beginning for a bit, but I cam back when I saw people praising Grimlock. but the second season definately hooks me. I was beyond surprised by the on-screen deaths. Safe to say I fell in love with the show. the Quintesson ark particularly (best hot-rod ever). but having seen the whole finale, it feels very UN-final. A lot underwhelming. It just ends. =\

The transformers curse, no series to go beyond three seasons, no matter how good the story is.
(and I don't count the 3 headmaster episodes as a season 4 for G1)

Rescue Bots had a 26-episode fourth season, 104 episodes total.

One of these days we are going to have to package you up and market you. How does "Encyclopedia Sabrblade-ica" sound?

Rescue bots was another decent show as far as transformers for little-little kids goes. With the current brand manager running away to power rangers, and all the current properties coming to a close, and still at least another 1-2 years for the next movie, got to wonder what comes next?

I know leader one and cykill make cameos every few years, so how about...
GENERATION 3! ROCK LORDS OF WARUDERS!

Didn't they change the name of it for the fourth season though? Rescue Bots Academy or something, or is that a different show?
