The Transformers Facebook page has uploaded a preview video of the Machinima Combiner Wars cartoon, releasing on August 2, 2016 via GO90. The preview is officially titled as “Prelude To Transformers Combiner Wars: Prime Wars Trilogy.”
In the three minute long preview, we mostly see Optimus Prime as he narrates the current state of Cybertron, walking through war-torn areas. Also seen is Megatron and a brief glimpse of Menasor.
Plenty of details are still yet to be revealed about the series. What does TFW think of this preview? Discussion thread linked below!
Update: Transformers: Combiner Wars writer George Krstic confirmed that the final product will not be a Motion-Comic. This animation style is for the preview only.
“@SilverOptimus that’s correct – the series is CG as you saw in the preview images the other day!”

I won't mind seeing these episodes just as long we get a break from watching humans and acree for a bit
TFW10
thank you

Then sometime on Vimeo afterwords for international viewers, although when is unknown and I'll probably just stream it on a third party site and buy the DVD when Madman or Hanabee releases it in Australia.

All I know is August 2 on the go90 app which I downloaded for free on my tablet

Reading a couple of articles of this new cartoon series, when will this cartoon series will start?
Has anyone heard or read anything because I didn't see or read anything about this series?

The cartoon heights differ a lot from the toy heights just about anywhere, though. You should logically have almost no toys at all, especially combiners who are always far larger combined than they logically should be from the size of their parts.
Scale just doesn't exist in Transformers mainlines. Pretty much only MP is where you can get consistent scale, with scant few exceptions elsewhere.

I hope I am wrong but I think we would be lucky to get one a year if anything .
jamarmiller
Not for this household it isn't and anyway from what I have seen , every scene he is in with other combiners , he is the same size
That Guy
Just show him a different episode where the sizes are different. That scale is inconsistent enough to be able to find a scene that justifies the toys right?
jamarmiller
In the cartoon , they are all the same height,
I dont buy toys for myself, I buy for my boy,
My boy wants his toys to look like the cartoon in which they are all the same size. He hates that his scorponok is smaller than his generations Metroplex and Encore Fortress maximus
And as I said above in my post I say I dont mind him being a bit taller ( because he does have six guys ) but NOT THAT TALLER.
So I voted with my wallet and skipped him
its a beautiful toy but my family not interested in having a third scale around

Or you could just get Devastator as a standalone piece because you like him.
Afterall, not all non-combiners are the same size, why should Combiners all be the same height? I got him, despite having three CW Combiners already. The size difference never once bothered me, and if it ever did, I must have just got over it. If I had to justify it somehow, I just think of him as a particularly big Combiner. Isn't Devastator also kind of special already, being six guys with a set transformation scheme?

Yeah, I meant out of the two choices you gave, I'd go with that one.
jamarmiller
And I would have been perfectly fine with them being all that big
SouthtownKid
Well, the real answer, imo, is that they should ALL have been Devistator's size. It's all the other combiners who were too small.
jamarmiller
yeah, exactly and I do not collect MP. Cause I hate that scale
Lord Dcast
Precisely, plus in most modern fiction he is 'that much bigger'. He's made up of bigger vehicles (even though jets should be bigger than construction vehicles but scale never works). The constructicons themselves are supposed to be hulking monsters and their combined mode should be bigger.

He was made to go on your mp shelf.
