In doing some research for this story, I learned the following things. One:Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogyis considered “a toyline and transmedia franchise that is part of the Transformers brand.” Two: There’s a video game calledTransformers: War for Cybertron, but it’snotrelated to the toyline, even though they basically have the same name. Three: There’s now a Netflix series as well. This trailer comes with the subtitleSiege, which was also the name of the first arc in the toy/multimedia franchise. The second arc was calledEarthrise, and I imagine Netflix will get around to that eventually. Maybe.
Confused? That’s okay, I am as well. But then again,Transformersmaterial isn’t exactly my wheelhouse. But fans of the series, and fans of anime, might be interested in what Netflix is offering. Here’s a synopsis:
It is the final hours of the devastating civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The war that has torn apart their home planet of Cybertron is at a tipping point. Two leaders, Optimus Prime and Megatron, both want to save their world and unify their people, but only on their own terms. In an attempt to end the conflict, Megatron is forced to consider using the Allspark, the source of all life and power on Cybertron, to “reformat” the Autobots, thus “unifying” Cybertron. Outnumbered, outgunned, and under SIEGE, the battle-weary Autobots orchestrate a desperate series of counterstrikes on a mission that, if everything somehow goes right, will end with an unthinkable choice: kill their planet in order to save it.
