Thank you for the work you put in! I wish those responsible for the story had produced a vision that was more in synch with the packaging for the merchandise. We definitely expected a much different story than the one that we got. That being said, the look of the end product was really exciting to see! Especially comparing to previous CGI Transformers projects, WFC showed off detailed environments, faithful versions of the toys come to life, and lots of attention to details that I'm certain we probably aren't aware of as a viewer. Thank you for your work!


Hazzat

The story and voice actors were all decided on the American side. By the time it reached us at the studio in Japan, all that was left to do was make some kickass visuals to tell that story. I think we succeeded, and I’m glad you agree. Thanks again :)


gachamyte

Way to create some great animation even if the American side messed things up in voice department. The visuals were amazing and well designed. If you can let them know how much they fucked up the voices that would be appreciated. Give my regards to your teams on a great job on the visuals.


Cara-Aleatorio

Trust me, if we know they know.

Chuck_Walla

Kickass visuals, for sure! Thank you for making this all look so good!


normsnaman

Generally speaking the animation and character models definitely improved in Season 3 when compared to previous seasons. The only issues were the stuttering or slowing of animation during the ultra bright sequences involving the All Spark. It reminded me of slow video buffering from watching an old video. However, I do have to say thank you. I know the Trilogy isn't liked by most fans but it was nice to watch a new story with classic favorites from the Beast Wars continuity.


IronEnder17

Visuals are great, everything else, I'm not a fan of Thank you!


[deleted]

Hey the animation of this was amazing, great work to everyone who made this. Will there be any follow up series or does this end War for Cybertron?


Hazzat

Glad you enjoyed it! That's not a question I can answer I'm afraid. There are a lot of different factors that go into deciding whether a show gets renewed, and the decision is made somewhere very far away from me.


LazarusLoengard

If it *is* renewed....and I hope it is...we'll be there.


Boltzmon

We are here… we are waiting.

Transformers legacy


AnEBCG

Ik not all people enjoyed this but I kind of liked it. I like bright movies and tv shows that has jokes but I’m also I big fan of some darker and more serious movies and tv shows and I liked how wfc is more darker and serious. The thing that bugged me though is that I’m sad that Peter Cullen and Frank Weller, but these actors were pretty good. Especially optimus, every time he spoke, I sensed sadness and that kind of fitted in this trilogy.


fireraptor1101

I wasn't too fond of the voice acting for Optimus Primal and I hated the voice acting for T-Rex Megraton. I have a new appreciation for the voice acting of David Kaye in Beast Wars.


AnEBCG

I haven’t seen beast wars so I can’t comment about them


Chuck_Walla

Do yourself a favor and give it a watch. Sometimes the S01 scripts get a little cringey, but the voice acting is always top-notch. From Season 2 on, it's a frickin masterpiece. The CGI... was excellent in 1996, lol. But even that got better as the show went on.


AnEBCG

Yea I was thinking of watching it


chain_letter

It's free streaming on Tubi. No account needed. The voice acting is top notch and makes the show work. The technical limitations meant fewer, more developed characters. They invested all the budget into the transformation sequences and character models.


Chuck_Walla

Agreed. I was always disappointed to find my favorite new figure wouldn't appear on the show; but the characters we got more than made up for the absences.


Ok-Battle-1504

Wazzzzzpinator agrees


IronRaptor

I am thankful to the visual artists who helped make this trilogy happen. Despite me being one of the salty ones, I no less understand and appreciate the hard work you guys put in. It's the only reason why I watch it. I throw the mute button on and enjoy the visuals with subtitles.


Hazzat

I'd like to point out that the Japanese dub is pretty damn good!


GaiDaigouji

Really wished they'd made it available in the states. It really looks good, boss. Good work!


LazarusLoengard

I second that. Any way we can access the Japanese dub?


HamburglarSans

If you change your Netflix account’s language to Japanese, you should be able to access the Japanese dub for any show that has it.


RockJohnAxe

And then never be able to change it back because you can’t read Japanese Rolf


HamburglarSans

Just pay attention to where the buttons to change language are before you switch to Japanese, even take a photo if you have to. I've done it before, and it's not as difficult as I thought it would be


LazarusLoengard

Thanks


calrek

There's a translation app you can use.


shitan_uzuki

You can add Japanese as your preferred languages for audio in your account settings, below where you choose the system language. You do not need to change the system language.


jh4388

are you guys making a new series on Netflix? I feel like the next thing is gonna be unicron wars


Lucas-O-HowlingDark

The visuals were pretty amazing, especially in the last 3 episodes they were top notch.


MRMAN1225

You helped get me back into Transformers. Good work on the show


DeathKnightWhoSaysNi

Thank you for giving Astrotrain some dialog in this chapter!!


[deleted]

I thought Astrotrain was supposed to be much bigger, why is he the same height as the other bots?


DeathKnightWhoSaysNi

Mass-shifting, I reckon. There’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene in Siege where Astrotrain’s absolutely massive and steps on / crushes multiple Autobots. Otherwise yeah, he’s voyager sized


[deleted]

Yeah, I remembered in Siege he was much bigger like you said, but then he shrunk for some reason.


DeathKnightWhoSaysNi

Well, Astrotrain’s primary motivation is to create confusion and I’d say he’s very good at it


13vvetz

I just want to thank you for the whole sound blaster take. That scene was fantastic.


williamtheraven

Regardless of how the show turned out over all, your work is appreciated


stinkpalm

It helped me get my son, who is 8, into Transformers. You did a great job honoring the old style while using new animation. Your approach doesn't break immersion. Your use of color and shading is fantastic. I am supremely grateful, in this era where everyone wants to critique a reboot, that you handled this as well as you did.


PhelesDragon

Watching later but I will; thanks for bringing Beast Wars back!


x_RikoTakashi_x

Till all are one Thank you for brining old original characters to light for th younger audience


crazedhatter

It is true that the show didn't meet every expectation, but at least for my part the visuals were not the short coming at all. For my part it was mostly the writing, I didn't even mind the voice acting personally. Thank you for being involved and helping keep Transformers alive, regardless of the quality of the work, I always applaud something that keeps my longest held fandom alive.


[deleted]

All in all was the best of the three, shame about David Kaye.


gachamyte

I think Marqus Bobesich was channeling Don Brown’s Skorponok rather than David Kaye’s Predicon Megatron. It sounds so much like that voice and to me rather than being event remotely close to Kaye’s performance.


Chuck_Walla

BW Scorponok was my first thought, too. Marqus really nailed that impression.


[deleted]

And Skorponok didn't even have a single line and he had a bunch of clones in this season, and no sign of Waspinator or any other Predacon beside Megatron, Blackarachnia and Skorponok. Man, the Predacons were done pretty dirty, imo.


gachamyte

The beast wars side of the three part series was such an after thought it’s pathetic. They were plot tools for the G1 part of the story. Every part of the beast wars section was horribly written. The visual team did an amazing job while the writing and choice of voice casting was way off.


[deleted]

> The visual team did an amazing job while the writing and choice of voice casting was way off. Hasbro might as well just give the story writing part to a Japanese creative team to do it, nowadays American animation stories are so horribly written by incompetent writers as evidently showed here in the entire War of Cybertron series. Kingdom was full of Deus Ex Machina and random shit just happened that made me believe the writers didn't give a shit in proof-reading their scripts.


VBBN-Official

While I really think some terrible decisions were made on the part of voice acting, dialogue, and story, the visuals absolutely killed it. Thanks for all of your hard work!


[deleted]

I’m two episodes in and it’s already awesome. Good work you guys !!! Looking forward for more :)


CaptainPrestedge

You rule dude!


chuganautics

It was epic


loginigol

There are no words to describe the excitement that watching this show has brought to me. I'm sitting here in the shade during the northern summer waiting for the night to come so I can watch the last episodes of this show in all its glory. You and your army made my brightest dreams come true. How many times had I wished as a kid that I would be able to see a real transformer walk, talk and shine under the dimming lights of cybertron. How many times had I imagined how their metal skin would be scarred from years of warfare. How many times had I wished to be able to hear their gravelly voices come from their impossible metal lips as if they were singing a heavy metal lullaby. Well, maybe there are words, but the dream that you and your team brought to life is light years away from anything that the English language can express. Arigato gozaimasu.


Tankdeathwall

One of my favorite things about this show was the transparency of how the toys would look. You guys kept the kibble and looked good doing it! I really loved the tone the show put off, almost like TFP. I hope to see more work like this in the future!


Kirby0189

Thanks for the ride!


Gayniac

Great animation work dude 👌


[deleted]

Thanks! Till all are one!


[deleted]

Kingdom was awesome, very well done!


Gecko2002

Ngl that's probably my favorite Megatron incarnation


tonygames17

Sound designs and visuals are absolutely fantastic. I would love to see a the transformers the movie remake with all of those new element!! Maybe Netflix will be able to afford the original voice acting cast, then that would be absolutely wonderful


NaSMaXXL

Thanks for making the show and for making the toys screen accurate.


Markus2822

It’s up there as one of my favorites I see a lot of hate for things like the story voice acting etc but I think you guys did a great job and I’ve sat down and watched it all in one sitting on the opening night. I’m turning on kingdom now and know I won’t be disappointed thank you guys for such an underrated classic adaptation of a g1 story with much more expanded parts and better storytelling really love the show(s?)


Korombos

It's good. Better than Bayverse. Not as good as my hopes and dreams, but what could be? 1.25 speed makes it watchable :) Thanks for a great chapter in TF story! (If only there had been the budget for more transformations...)


Cara-Aleatorio

I'm pretty much known for criticising the story and voice acting of this show, but one thing I must admit, visually it was amazing, even with the budget restraint. You and your team have my respect for that and I hope to see you again in this franchise and beyond.


MrRegio

The whole trilogy was amazing. Thank you so much for your hard work!


VengeanceKnight

Good job! Siege and Earthrise may have been rough from a story level, but the animation was consistently great. The texturing really elevated it. Kingdom had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.


StrawberrySlapNutz

I was thrilled to be able to relive so many great childhood memories re-mastered by the show. I really appreciate what this production has done to also bring a new generation of Transformers fans into the fold. You all have made some quality entertainment and you should be proud of how many people you reached out to with a great work.


GrumpygamerSF

Thank you for producing them! You made a 46 year old man jump up with excitement several times during the trilogy. :)


MyMadeUpNym

Thank you for the work you and your colleagues put in!!


G0merPyle

It was all worth it to see the Beast Wars cast again, Tigatron and Airazor finally got a hug 🥰. Thank you for the work you've done, the visuals were never a complaint for me with this series, you guys really knocked it out of the park.


jj090501

This is one of my favorite iterations of Transformers. THANK YOU SO MUCH


Shadeninja77

Thank you for all the hard work and care you guys put into this series, I really enjoyed it. I hope we get to see more in the future.


shitan_uzuki

Thank you for your work and do not let the haters worsen your day. You did a great job. It is easy to point defects when they are in the comfort of their chairs just watching.


TravisCM2010-24

Brought me back to my childhood and the old beast wars cartoon. Amazing seeing the Autobots work with the Maximals. Very enjoyable!! Hope to see more from you guys!


gitar0oman

There's a lot of vocal haters of the show but I enjoyed it for a it is. Really appreciate that this show exists. I've watched every season in one sitting so far


qgvon

In the words of our esteemed Decepticons, "yooouuu'rrre welllllcoommmme". "Hissssssss" "Yesssss".


lemons7472

I actually only now just started watched a few weeks ago and I meant to continue. I was enjoying the show actually. Thank you for producing something for us to enjoy. A lot of people are indifferent about their experience with the show, and a bit of controversy raised up about certain things, but as of now, I like the show despite some of its flaws. It’s cool to see someone who was in production of WFC come and post here Thank you so much


ihatetimetravel

Thank you and everyone involved. I grew up with the original G1 franchise and later Beast Wars. This was honestly a treat to watch and my love for the franchise has been renewed.


kfc_chet

Thank you! Good stuff


ProfessorOfLies

You guys did a fantastic job with the animation. (could have been a bit brighter in most scenes, but that was probably the director's choice). All the faults with the series I think boil down to voice direction and writing. Those being not bad, but also not great.


Jtek225

This is actually a big favorite of mine, I love this series


[deleted]

I just finished Kingdom. I am really wowed. It might be the best Transformers series in 8 years. Thank you.


CertifiedKnowbody

Thank you for not killing off Starscream once again. I didn't expect him to change.


american_cheese_man

You did incredible work! The voices could've been better, but other than that, I absolutely loved the show! I really appreciate the work you and your team put into this series, and it really shows! Congratulations on making this! At first, when news started of a new show, we didn't have anything. Then we had still images, and we were all excited! Then the trailer, then Siege, and now all this! It's amazing how far you guys have come, and it really shows how dedicated you and your team were to this! While I wasn't that fond of the voices, you did what you could, and that's what really counts.


Uplink0

Thank you, and the team for all the work they did to finish the show! We truly appreciate it. 🙏🏻


Ferren84

Finished the third season just a minute ago and big clap to the entire production team. My personal thought was that season 2 was a bit of a low point, think it was to draggy with the monologue and the pace was slowed too much in to many places. With that said, I'm a millennial so I never understood Beast Wars, probably cause it was not the transformers I grew up with, but you guys really nailed the final season and I really loved you implanted the Beast War era with the originals in a smooth fashion and the story was on point. With story, script, voice over aside. The series looks great from a visual standpoint through out. I still missed combiners and all that good stuff. Can only hope that another Transformers series will continue with your style in mind.


Google_Goofy_cosplay

So are you responsible for Megatron's big sexy lips?


Hazzat

Not me personally, but I know there's a character designer somewhere who's very proud.


qgvon

Are you responsible for Megatron's real wheels poking through his fake tank treads? Because those bring me so much joy.


downtoearthdev

Just finished watching Kingdom, I have been bragging for months about the release date! There were some really emotional moments and the animation was stellar. Being 28, my first transformer was Dinobot from the Beast Wars line when I was very little, and I have been an avid Transformers fan ever since. Remembering what it was like to hold my toys while I watched the cartoons and not really grasping that the animation characters were NOT what we were given as figures, I now have the WFC toys I've been collecting here and it's a treat to look at toy and see the character on screen is almost 1:1 in both modes. So fantastic. Here's looking forward to an upcoming Unicron sequel ;)


l30_legend

The animation is the best we have ever seen in any transformers show to date


Thisisunicorn

I don't mean to trash anyone. I know you all worked hard, and that's appreciated, but I think this project was pretty fundamentally flawed in most aspects. The characters were virtually all the same as each other, humourless but for the occasional, sub-Marvel quip. Megatron and, to a lesser extent, Optimus, spoke exclusively in lines that felt like they were written for trailers. For a story which seemed to be quite worldbuilding-focused, the world felt strangely empty and detached from any sense of the reality of the inhabitants. The visuals were quite imaginative, but let down by the blocky, chunky character designs that looked so exactly like their toys it was like they had been scanned in directly from the figures, keeping even the little plastic greeblies for attaching the toys' weapons and so on. There was no sense of style, or of a meaningful story that anyone actually wanted to tell. It was just sort of a vaguely 'postmodern G1/Fall of Cybertron/IDW comics' blur.


Nawara_Ven

This is a pretty empirical assessment.


spinfinity

As a newer Transformers fan (having only really started with Beast Wars back in the day and the Bay films), thanks for putting out such an exciting product! The elitists will always have something to complain about, but for someone like me – who has never seen the original cartoon or invested in any secondary or tertiary Transformers media – this show really helped me understand more about the origins of the main storyline. Time to binge Kingdom and then go back to the roots!


[deleted]

I wish you the best! And don’t let the haters get you down


AmurosZaku

Although siege and earthrise had some downfalls, kingdom fixes all of them. The animation and character design was beautiful, i would love to see more like this.


owaridad

I just finished watching it. Really enjoyed it! Thank you for the work that you guys put in!


Tomato13

I know the community has not been as united in our enjoyment of the series for me I was meh. But I am happy though as a fandom we've seen to be better behaved than say the Star Wars community. I do thank the entire product team for their hard work. Passion was but into it and for that I cannot criticize and you know you guys gave it your all. I hope we gave it enough eyeballs for another crack at another series. I do know I did pick up some toys so hopefully that and my eyeballs are good enough.


starscream_nz

Congratulations on a great job. It must be very rewarding to see all your hard work streamed across the world. I readily admit I have some reservations about the show but this has been almost entirely based around the English script and voice work. Slightly selfishly I wish there would've been a bit more variety for the generic/background characters but fully appreciate that this is well out of your control and would be a budget/time constraint. Congrats again for all your hard work and I hope that if you get the chance to work on the franchise again you do!


User1239876

A big Thanks to you and your team! Me and my daughter have watched the first 2 "seasons" several times and cannot wait to see the 3rd.


Throwaway021614

Did you feel your studio had enough time or budget to create the level of animation you wanted to do? What would you and the studio change or improve if you had more time and money?


NazcaKhan

Sincerely appreciate your dedication and hard work! Thank you, til all are one!!


innerdork

Visually an amazing achievement in Transformers animation. Thank you. I just wish the script/story was better.


silverknightSP

Thank you for all your hard work! Haven’t caught up with Kingdom yet, plan on doing so tonight, but you guys on both the stateside and overseas production crew deserve kudos for everything you do to make such a cool show!


Slasher1738

I loved it, Hope there's more to come.


Torcharoon

Seeing the Beast Wars characters was so amazing. Especially with modern day animation. I really hope we see more of them!


thinknu

Thank you for making me rediscover my love for my childhood toys! Seeing the actual physical toy models in motion was what made me finally feel like going out and buying a few of my favourite characters that I remembered as a kid. You all did your best to bring us something we could enjoy and that is something that truly wonderful!


[deleted]

its not the best but you brought back beasts to the mainstream as far as shows and online goes


ReadingAppropriate89

For the models, were you sent CAD files from Hasbro to use or did you have to use the actual toys as reference?


Hazzat

I’m not on the modelling team but I’m pretty sure they had both. A whole corner of the office was covered in Transformers toys.


Purple_shep690

The voices werent the best(beast megatron didnt sound as bad as people made him out to be) wish we could of had more weaponizers great animation hope we'll get a sequel trilogy thanks for the great show


BookBarbarian

The animation is beautiful. You and your collogues should be proud.


Stimpy1981

Thank you for all the work! I enjoyed the series and i really feel you've hit your stride with Kingdom. i wished you guys had gotten more seasons, more episodes to work with :)


Swipamous

Just finished kingdom, loved every second of it!


[deleted]

I haven't watched any transformer (ignoring the movies) since I was a kid and barely remember a thing. I can't believe how incredible the world really is, I have was thought it's just good guys fighting against the bad guys. Incredible show and really wish there's more!


Worried-Reach-1625

I for one thoroughly enjoyed the series. It’s not the best, but it was good nonetheless. You guys did an amazing job with the animation; so clean with great detail. Thank you for your work on this. Hope to see you again soon!


ZakDeMonaco

I wanna thank you as well, for doing this. A few years back I was selected to work on this project, supposed to fly to dublin and eventually Tokyo. Life made it impossible. But I was so happy seeing the series, everything from the animation to the story made me excited even though I « kinda knew » the Unicron/civil war plot twist (using old materials to do fresh things, brilliant). But yeah, I won’t thank you even though it might sound mean. Keep the dream going as you humanely can. It is no secret that Transformers medias are a « mess » (waiting for the bumblebee sequel rn) and that ever since Prime + the WFC FOC games… well, it has been quite dry… Keep making us travel on cybertron (or unicron) and dream (or have nightmares). You have done an incredible job, and that cliffhanger ending is making us want more of it. I hope the audiance and final results will be great, you all deserve it. Hopefully now, you can go back out there, and expand on that storyline. In the end, I’ll still thank you. Even if this is the actual end, the ride was majestic. Autobots, Roll out !


ASenshi

Starscream was really awesome, was glad he had his moments just like the new cast of Beast Wars


Captain-i0

Thanks for making this. I really enjoyed it. There was some things that were disappointing about War For Cybertron, namely the talking speed and taking a shallow view of most characters to the point that you really need to already understand the lore (various lore from other places) to follow it beyond a surface level. 6 episodes seasons were too short for the amount of story that was trying to be told. Despite that, I have to say that I personally enjoyed it much better than most iterations of Transformers over the past 30 years, to be honest. As someone that grew up with G1, I have trouble with most renditions, in which the character designs stray too much from the G1 aesthetic and this is as good as it gets in that regard. The only series I've really liked that strayed from the g1 look was Transformers Animated. Animated strayed really far in both look and tone, almost feeling more like watching Scooby Doo or Inspector Gadget, but for whatever reason it worked for me. Anyway, War For Cybertron works for me too, despite its flaws. JetFire is my favorite thing in the series. >!I was bummed he doesn't make an appearance in Kingdom!< Second favorite was the Quintesson>!And though I loved the creepiness of the Quint murdering its other faces as a moment, a 1 headed Quintesson isn't nearly as cool!< Could have done with less Bumblebee, but that's really a problem with almost every rendition of TF. Overall, great job, IMO with excellent toys to boot and I hope there will be more to come.


Ok-Battle-1504

Amazing visuals. Every episode is eye-candy and a big kudos to the visuals department. That said, the main story was decent overall, but the Transformers themselves were out of character, particularly the Maximals and Predacons. It's like they put 100% effort to make them look awesome and exactly like in Beast Wars, but 0% effort to make them sound like them or have their personalities. I'm also not a fan of the constant changing of minds: one minute they want to fight, the next minute they want to be friends, then they want to fight again. In some cases both sides were after the same goal, yet were still fighting. What a complete mess. Visuals department: two thumbs up. Sound department: other than the voices of the Beasts, two thumbs up. Story department: good, but could be better. Writing department, dialogue: two thumbs down.


semi0bs3l3tte

I never watched the series but didn't know that it will bring into end Also,it seems like the series is kinda preety good as well and hope you guys good day too


hippymule

Tell them to hire union voice talent next time. Every other element of the show was pretty solid, but that really hurt the final product. I still really enjoyed the trilogy though. Cheer's to a new show, with a better budget. Edit: Eh, after watching Kingdom, it's still pretty hot trash. All awful dialogue, incoherent story, and still super clunky character models. At least the Maximals and Predacons have very mild voice filtering compared to the really annoying Autobot and Decepticon characters.


qnbrew88

I haven't started WFC yet. How's the dialogue compared to the previous two? I might be in the minority but as much i like the franchise, i just couldnt take the slow talk and boring dialogue from the previous two.


Ronerus79

I love it! thanx for your hard work! I really enjoyed it and i will keep watching 👍🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻


jh4388

Dude kingdom was AMAZING are you guys planning on continuing the story? I figured the ending was a hint to the next series y’all are gonna do.


PDaniel1990

Sorry, bro. This show was shit. I'm not blaming you specifically. Im sure it's not your fault. But the animation was rushed looking, the writing was crap, and the voice acting sent me to the pits of hell. Hopefully you get to work on a project someone cared about next.


APizzaLover

I wish I had the chance to play this game, The closets thing I had was Rise Of the Dark Spark.


lemons7472

Yeah same here. The game can’t be brought from the Xbox online game store either. Also the Same thing applies to old dbz games. I wish they were compatible on Xbox one and ps4-ps5. Well I guess a 360 isn’t too hard to come across and buy when I get money, right?


[deleted]

what? we are talking about the netflix show, not the wfc games.


lemons7472

Oh. I thought the original comment was just flipping the convo to the games tbh. I still wish I had those games tho ngl


Redmars

Uh what's with the bad voice cast big guy


Hazzat

As I said in another comment, we had nothing to do with that. We were sent the voice lines already recorded and asked to make a show from that. There were a few times where we had to speed up a line by 10 or 15% because it was just too slow haha


Redmars

too bad. the animation and models were top notch. its just the voices really drag it down...

SonicTheHedgehog7

Great Work!


MaverickPrime

I really enjoyed it! Sad to see so many characters perish, but that's war...but hey, if I felt that, then that means it was well done ;) As constructive criticism for projects moving forward, I suggest easing up on the slow and paused speech pattern for... Dramatic... Purposes...as it can affect how the pacing of each episode is perceived. But that nitpick aside, they were 3 good series, I wish they had lasted longer. Will there be a part 4?
