Oh! That's awesome!
Argh! If the second part just aired a while longer, I could have made a case of watching the first part already and saving the second part for watching with friends. Darn!

At least these concepts (mainly the Recolor Mercs and Volcanicus, which were products of the Terrible Miniseries period) are getting some play in a series with competent writing.
Still waiting to see the specials together with friends but I saw a clip of Grimlock and the Dinobots talking together plus the trailer's ending (with Shadow Striker telling them off) and I'm thinking it's going to go like this :
I'm really curious what Trypticon's alt-mode is here.
Still hard to believe from the show premise we were given how it all turned out so well.

Soooo... is it open for another season?
I would guess a combo of more budget, more character models built up to use, and more freedom as the series went on.
-ZacWilliam, Season 3 may be my favorite post Animated TF cartoon.

Also not having to be a spiritual tie-in with the Bumblebee movie anymore.
After season 1, Bumblebee ceased being the most important character, a mute radio speaker, and amnesiac. All qualities it shared (had to share?) with that movie.
The show could also get out of its anthology rut and tell bigger stories that moved fully forward without also be stuck looking backward at various points in history in a forced attempt to explore the lore of this new continuity.

I think one of the most brilliant things this show did was the Time Jump at the beginning of Season 2.
Season 1 ended with the Decepticons arriving and Autobots just waking up and the War on Earth about to finally begin and then instead of doing the predictable, boring and easy thing Season 2 jumps over the entire war on Earth, the entirety of the Cyberverse universes versions of G1 seasons 1 and 2 and STARTS with the final climactic battle of the War on Earth.
That's just a baller move.
-ZacWilliam, and the show just kept getting better from there.

Watched The Immobilizers and it was great fun, though I should have rewatched the last few eps of season 3.
Grimlock and Arcee are the best I could watch a miniseries of their adventures palling around.
Using the Mercenaries symbol was a nice surprise. Soundblaster was entertaining and hey, no mention of him being a clone of Soundwave (that I noticed anyway) he was his own bot. Nightbird was cool though didn't do much. Give me an Afterburner now please Hasbro! And the other 3 Skyscorchers as well.
The Dinobots were fun and they worked them in well.
I am disappointed they didn't include Slash, I'm fine with Girl Swoop in fact I thought she was one of the best parts, I just really want Slash to get more attention and with her only appearance so far being Rescue Bot Academy it feels like she'll fade to obscurity.
A whole planet of Dinobots, so much poten-- (planet explodes) ah well, that's a shame.
Trypticon was a great surprise, I almost thought Volcanicus would transform into the toys dino mode to defeat him.

No. Next fall is the joint Hasbro/Nickelodeon Transformers series.
Cyberverse is done...FINISHED!
For real? Dang it!
It had FOUR YEARS, man. Most TF shows are lucky to get three.
So may be my rear-view mirror is rose-tinted, but I don't remember a bad season.
I watched through the 1st three seasons after it was over, so I had fun watching the anthology-type world-building episodes early on, and it got even more fun from there.
Haven't watched the new movies yet - hoping to get to those soon.

Let's just say that the first season was incredibly ill-received when it first started airing. People hated that it was Bumblebee-focused, anthology-styled, and made Bee a radio-speaking mute again after have just gotten him back to speaking normally back at the very end of Prime and all throughout RID'15. Combined with how direction-less those early season 1 episodes felt, and the jarring shift from a 22-minute episode format to 11 minutes, a lot of people just could not get behind this show back when it first came out.
