I really just want Justice League Unlimited but with Transformers. An anthology series is probably the closest it can get to making everybody happy. I hope the promo images are just that. I don't see the point in another Bumblebee-centric show but as I type this I remember Bee's got his own movie so

She does have a growing popularity, so I guess Hasbro wants that to grow even further, and what better way then to put her on the main TV show.

 

And RID,and CW,and TR toy.YARGHHHH

 

Seeing how this is based on G1, I'm going to continue to watch episodes of the 80's cartoon show, to better prepare myself for this new show.

 

It's just a part of the franchise. Think about back when Hotshot got his big push, or Drift more recently, or Bulkhead being pulled from animated to Prime (to RID). Windblade is the fan voted character and has been well received, so she is going to get her push and get established in the larger franchise. Now that Michael Bay is out maybe she will even get out into the movies.

 

Just a quick note, I may be mistaken but my understanding of the statements so far is that Evergreen is the name of the dollar saver subline of legends figures and the unified general aesthetic that will be attempted to be used moving forward, but not necessarily a continuity family. Cyberverse is separate from Evergreen. We already have Evergreen toys:

Transformers: Evergreen Optimus Prime And Bumblebee In-Package Images - Transformers News - TFW2005

Transformers: Evergreen Starscream And Megatron Robot Mode And In-Package Images - Transformers News - TFW2005

So the breakdown is more like:

• Collectors (Teen and above) - Generations Line
• Pre-Schoolers - Rescue Bots Academy
• Young - Cyberverse
• General Audience - Transformers Cinematic Universe
• Budget - The Evergreen

Or, considering Evergreen as an aesthetic choice rather than a line it could be more like:

Evergreen Aesthetic:

• Collectors (Teen and above) - Generations Line
• Young - Cyberverse
• Budget - The Evergreen

Pre-Schoolers - Rescue Bots Academy
General Audience - Transformers Cinematic Universe

 

The one thing I've noted about Boulder Studios' stuff is that they do pretty decent things with their animation style. They also focus on very crisp, well delivered dialogue. You may not necessarily like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Gumball, or Wander Over Yonder, but these are critically acclaimed shows.

More importantly, I want to see how they handle scripts and dialogue. Transformers shows are notorious for really terrible jokes and mushy exposition. Perhaps they'll pop some new life into the franchise by taking a different approach.

 

Oh, they did Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Wander Over Yonder? Awesome, I liked both of those. Wander Over Yonder had amazing visuals.

Haven't watched Amazing World of Gumball but I've heard good things about it.

 

It's... well, it's weird, really. I don't like it (mostly because I'm kinda tired with the "stupid dad" trope right now), but it's definitely different.

 

I'm not really a fan of their previous work. And having seen a few shorts from their Littlest Pet Shop reboot, I'm not so sure how this is gonna turn out either...

 

Honestly I'm both worried and optimistic with what Boulder Media could do here. Yeah sure it's target audience to younger kids and Bumblebee and Windblade (why her again?) being in the spotlight are worrying but seeing that they've worked on stuff like Gumball, Wander over Yonder and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends brings hope to me. Though I'll still keep my expectations low especially to the toys.

 

Did some serious cleaning up here.. many posts deleted.

prob a dumb question but why are the new looks/series called evergreen?

 

That preview image seems to have basically killed interest in Cyberverse.

 

I wouldn't say killed interest, I'd say lowered everyone's expectations. Really, really, really badly.

 

Absolute reactionary nonsense. I was here for the first picture of TFA, TFP and RID. Cyberverse was easily the less stupid and angry reaction a first picture has gotten. The lack of talk about it is simply the fact that there is NOTHING to talk about since NOTHING has been revealed since. Don't be ridiculous.
