In “Transformers: Cyberverse” Bumblebee is on a critical mission where lives are at stake. Only, he can’t remember what it is. It’s a good thing his best friend Windblade has found him to help repair his damaged memory chips. With each recovered memory, Bumblebee rediscovers his past adventures on Cybertron before coming to Earth. He relives fun moments when he played Cybertronian sports with his friends, and even tragic ones that would change his life. His past will shape him into becoming the hero we know today. As each memory is repaired, another clue comes to light that will lead them both to complete their shared mission to save their friends and Earth… however, the Decepticons are hot on their heels and time is running out.

Diego g
In america latina is play now,today i did see the episode 7
Venixion
Why? CN is most likely going to air it at a sucky time over there too.
KTRBrickBot
Pessimisticly speaking, I don\'t think Cyberverse will ever air in South Korea, what with their own transforming robot shows and toys by two major Korean toy companies. But they pander only to the intended 3-7 demographic. I think over here there\'s a huge gap between Tobot V, Hello Carbot, and the like for tots and Transformers for adults with almost nothing in between.
Brave Magnus
I dont get it. ^^' The series has been airing for a month already in CN Argentina and even Hasbro uploads the episodes a couple hours earlier. ^^'
BigRed
It. It has already been airing in over 30 different countries. This is just a statement that Cartoon Network acquired rights for distributing it worldwide going forward. Your statement is detached from reality.
Houstonian Prime
so the show is already in full swing, yet they\'ve just now inked a deal to air the thing. I think that says a lot about how truly awful this series is. so basically take what we\'ve seen, which is a bunch of nothing as far as I\'m concerned, and add several commercial slots and call it a series. thanks but no thanks. I\'m not sure what the angle is in this series, but I hope they can come up with something better in the future. these mindless episodes that go nowhere are just becoming harder and harder to watch. I think it\'s all simply tied in just to sell cheesy products, and that\'s it. nothing more nothing less. it\'s not about quality content, instead just maximizing profits. adding nods to G1 just to have the older fans reeled in, I dont like that… I do think the artist behind cyberverse have done a great job though with the design, characters, layout, and animation. the artist deserve better. but the writing is absolutely terrible… that\'s my opinion.

It's not as dark (or frankly as dull) as Prime or as hopelessly silly as RID. I think a lot of the people at Boulder are fans of the original UK comics. Not just including characters like Rack n Ruin, but the way they handle the shorter time frame better than American animators have done. The UK strip was only 11 pages a week for much of it's run and they managed to tell timeless epics in short bursts. Similarly, 2000AD is a UK staple and has managed story driven serials for decades with even less pages per week. Many of which are just as classic as Target 2006 or the Dinobot stories from even earlier in that series.
Here we're getting 10 minute installments of a larger three hour story. Kudos to Boulder for their job with CV. I hope Chapter 2 is even better.
Michael Payton
I'm glad that it's doing well enough for CN to invest in this overseas distribution. Boulder has done a really good job with this show. Easily balancing moments of silly fun and the darkness of their war. Easily the best show since Animated.
Anyone in those regions that wants a decent Transformers show.
Music
This is great. Cyberverse is a good Transformers show and more people should give it a chance. It's not quite at the level of Transformers Prime, but it's certainly better than RID.
