Transformers War for Cybertron: Kingdom is restarting the Beast Wars
Well that's just prime.
Well that's just prime.
Transformers: War for Cybertron is the next big series to take the spotlight, transitioning the classic G1 saga towards a more mature and darker tone. It’s kind of good! It’s also kind of bad! Here’s what we liked and didn’t dig when we exposed the short series to our optics.
Something I remain resolutely firm over, is the fact that the 1990s had the best villains spread across various animated series.

What does come a close second however, is the original war for Cybertron. It’s a conflict that drove the entire Transformers franchise, a war that raged on for millennia in that universe, claiming scores of Decepticon …
The Combiner Wars are coming, but an age-old rivalry needs to be settled once and for all in this first prelude to the new Transformers series.
The biggest bad from Cybertron is back. Megatron will return in Transformers: The Last Knight. I THINK WE FOUND A TRANSFORMER!

A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
