Characters / designs for next Transformers cartoon (Cyberverse) revealed
LadyMoondancer:
I was just on Hasbro's website and they have finally listed the main cast of the upcoming TF cartoon, which I believe is set to debut later in 2018.

I wasn't a big fan of the previous cartoon (Robots in Disguise) but I'm digging the art style and the profiles of these guys. They are very G1 inspired but also have some newer / not commonly used characters to keep things interesting.
Zapper:
Slipstream and Acid Storm omg!
Ok, I'm cool. I love that they kinda look like TF Animated meets G1. I hope there will be a Slipstream toy! I gave an arm and a leg to get the Takara Slipstream that was a Windblade retool with a new head. Love her but kids should be able to find my fave in stores :lol:
What I liked about RID was Strongarm's design. The new girls in this show look like they will all be retools of Windblade. And Windblade basically looks like a gynoid with wings.
At the very least Windy should be bigger. I loved the crazy size differences in TFA. Starscream making Optimus look small and all. It was so pleasing to have very little size shifting. Man, I miss TFA.
LadyMoondancer:
I could be wrong, but I think Slipstream at least is in the same character design (and therefore toy mold maybe?) as Thundercracker and Acid Storm. (Starscream has his own unique design.)

They are posed differently but it doesn't look like Slipstream has skinnier limbs than the other two or anything. I thought that was pretty cool. Interesting that Acid Storm is there instead of Skywarp. Maybe they felt they had enough purple already?
Yeah, I didn't like the RID cartoon much but I did appreciate them giving us a female Transformer that wasn't in 'the slim build'. (Although not so fond of her 'lipstick', ha ha ha.)
TFA was sooo good. I really feel that was the best portrayal of Optimus Prime, because for once we got to see him on a hero's journey, from lowly repair bot to worthy leader, instead of him immediately being introduced as "This is Optimus Prime, THE BEST AUTOBOT OF ALL TIME." If only TFA had gotten that final season!! If only!
I'm digging the Cyberverse designs too. Bumblebee in particular looks very cute compared to his last incarnation. I did not like the RID aesthetic.
Zapper:
Ah you're right. So hopefully she'll be a big girl!
I still get to complain about girly retools because all girls have the same oval head with pointy chin and lipstick. I don't complain about seeker recolors because they have always been that way. But girl bots shouldn't always look like G1 Arcee, like a woman wearing a robot costume. I just don't buy a car turning into an hourglass shaped hottie :lol:
They need to bring back lips for the guys! Another thing that made TFA Optimus great, ha!
Stellaluna:
I like these designs just fine, but that's about as excited as I feel for this cartoon. Only just fine. Not super excited, but I don't have any fear that it'll be bad either. It sort of looks like G1, TFA and Rescue Bots were thrown in a blender. I'm happy to see Slipstream.
I enjoyed the previous RID show but I stopped watching after season 3. (Apparently there were more seasons than that?) I don't think this show will hold my interest any more than RID did, but I'm happy it exists. For me, TF Prime will always be the best cartoon so far, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. TFA was also very good.
Oh, and I'm curious what they'll do with Grimlock. Do you think he'll do his standard "ME GRIMLOCK" speech or do you think he'll be like the more articulate RID Grimlock?
