Machinima has released the 1st episode (“The Fall”) of their Transformers: Combiner Wars web series.
The episode is available to watch free of charge on the Go90 Website/app but the site is region locked. The producers have stated that the series will be available for international audience later.
The 1st episode features Windblade squaring off against Menasor.
“Battling Combiners have landed on Planet Caminus! Unluckily for them, Windblade, formerly known as the ‘City Speaker’ of Caminus, is not about to let the fight go unchecked – and she’s not alone! Introducing a new character to the Transformers universe: Maxima!”
Enjoy!
(P.S: Check out the thread associated with this news post to discuss the Episode. )
Update: Machinima has updated their You Tube page with the video thus allowing access to International Viewers. Check it out, after the jump.

Hello…you may know me.Or not. My Thoughts on Machinima's CW Series

Thanks so much, will update the MEGA thread!!!
Yeah, sadly, I don't think they'll get too much more traffic now.

@moreprimeland: here you go
Combiner Wars Episode 6 – A War of Giants
Combiner Wars Episode 7 – Darkest Hour
Combiner Wars Episode 8 – Destructions Dawn
But I noticed that Machinima has these videos as pay-per-view content now on vimeo as well. Probably the reason why it's set on private on YouTube.

Please LMK when/if you have new links, etc.
I'll update the Mega Thread Sticky to keep folks informed, especially those new to the series.

I wouldn't blame them, honestly.

Ah, they can be searched out on Vimeo, i was wondering if they were trying to 'memory hole' the whole thing…

I watched them on Dailymotion with my sister a while back. Might be there.

try vimeo. They had them all.

Maybe I'm just too stupid to find them. But usually I find everything I want. So I guess the few private videos on the machinima channel are probably the CW videos…

Damn, gone? I was gonna do a review and everything after some long reflection.
Murasame
So, where are the videos? I stopped somewhere around episode 4 I guess, when Windblade, Megatron and Optimus faced the council and Starscream turned big. I looked for weeks, I can't find the episodes on Youtube anymore.

Probably like in Energon how the combiners are, since they are a lot more intelligent and sentient here.
I do feel bad for her.

Pretty disappointed that each episode is only 5 minutes long…I was expecting at least the usual 22 minute episode… Also how did Menasor, the combination of 6 Decepticons, get himself killed by only 2 bots. Unless Windblade has some kind of special powers, the combiner threat seems pretty insignificant, much less than what the IDW comics made them out to be.

Machinima is a channel. Machinima did not write this, they did not animate it. They didn't make Gods & Monsters, either. Machinima put money into it, but they aren't the creators.
That's like saying you don't know how some Syfy channel tv movie of the week could be such garbage, because didn't they do that great Battlestar Galactica series?

What I don't get is… Machinima Made "Justice League – Gods and Monsters" for DC, and it was genuinely good. Well animated, well acted, with an intriguing story, and with actual professional actors as the voices. So what happened? Or… is Machinima even a company, or just a "style" of moviemaking?

Nope, there was a massive delay of about half a year or more, the series finished season 1 (which started in 2007 december) before the toys appeared MUCH later in 2008 June.

And we just got an interview where the actress is all hyped up and happy about her role. I guess it was made before she was told she'd have all of three lines!
