When we got a first look at theG1 - inspired toysfor Transformers : Cyberverse , we know the accompanying repair series would also be a throwback to the beloved original animated cartoon . Now we ’ve got a trailer that shows just how much of a atavism it is — all the style back to the franchises ’ ‘ 80s origins .
Debuted byEntertainment Weeklythis dawn , the house trailer give us a few hints of the overarching skeletal frame of Cyberverse , which sees Bumblee ’s retentivity chips damage , requiring him to flash back to his life on Cybertron — when the Autobots and Decepticons were thrive allies rather than robo - bloody-minded enemy — and even to the Autobots ’ initial escape to Earth , all so as to understand the reasonableness why he ’s there … and where his allies are . But it is mostly focused on showing those retiring computer storage , a fresh tailspin on the dangerous undertaking that kickstarted the Transformers cartoon all those year ago anyway .
It ’s got a great , pastel - toned and cel - shaded look to it , and the new remove on the authoritative G1 transformers designs all seem pretty slick in action . But goddammit , what is it with transformer reboots in a post - Michael Bay creation that still insist that throw Optimus Prime backtalk is a good idea ! ? It see so … untimely . Consigning the definitive facemask to something Prime only activates when he ’s heading into combat just means you ca n’t help but gaze at his robo - lips whenever he ’s on screen .
His weirdly full , metallic lips . This is far more disconcerting than any other aspect of transformer : Cyberverse ’s otherwise nerveless take on the old intent . you could see more of Optimus Prime ’s lips in activity , as well as the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons I guess , when Cyberverse launches on Cartoon connection on September 1 .
