With chapter 1 under way, Executive Producer F.J. DeSanto shared War For Cybertron concept art & commentary about that and the next two chapters with SYFY Wire.
“We looked at things like [Generation 1], how do we pay homage to that visually? We looked at Bumblebee, the opening scene of Bumblebee, to get the tone of Cybertron – the flavor of it,” DeSanto said, “I come from anime fandom — I loved Macross, Yamato, Gatchaman as a kid, so references like that would often come up in conversation with the team in Japan.”
“What I’m excited about is that we knew from the very beginning, almost two years ago, that Kingdom was going to be the third chapter,” DeSanto said. “We spent a lot of time developing the trilogy as a whole, so what I’m excited about is people trying to figure out how we get to Kingdom. Siege to Earthrise to Kingdom: it’s three chapters of a trilogy, but they’re distinctly different even though they tell one large story.”

Transformers War for Cybertron Siege is getting ready to hit Netflix in just a couple days, officially dropping on July 30th worldwide. The show focuses on the last days of the war on Cybertron, with the Autobots and Optimus Prime battling it out with Megatron and the Decepticons. It’s heavily based on the Hasbro toys from last year, so far that the CGI models of the robots in the show come from Hasbro’s toy design files. It’s also part of a trilogy – there will be two more seasons, one for Earthrise which is the line out now, and one for KINGDOM which we assume is coming next year in toy form.
