From the gang of writers over at the Machinima Transformers Combiner Wars animated series, we have an update on the status of the scripts and writing for the show: all scripts are in, and Eric Calderon, George Krstic and FJ DeSanto have been shooting some behind the scenes material, probably for both promotion and extra additions to the show! No news yet on the animation side of things, but we will update you as soon as we know.

The TRANSFORMERS are coming to Machinima. In an agreement between Machinima and Hasbro, the TRANSFORMERS world will be brought to life on the many2many programming service that kicks off right smack in the middle of The Combiner Wars. The series introduces new lore and all-new characters that, combined with the characters fans have known for decades, will bring the TRANSFORMERS storytelling in a new direction as the Machinima series will deliver raging action and signature humor to legions of TRANSFORMERS fans.

I've heard rumors this is only going to be a 70 minute film.

I doubt since I remember Hasbro saying this was going to be a series but whatever just saying what I hear.

That last photo has episode 6 and 7 labels in it. I'd rather believe the actual writers, at this stage.

What are the odds of this being released before the shift to "Titans Return"? Ever since Hasbro announced this, I've been thinking they might not have left Machinima enough time for it. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

On a side note, what's on Thundercracker's head in that first pic?

Not necessarily... Remember the 2002/2004 Clone Wars and G.I. Joe Extreme? -They were shown as several "micro episodes" (ranging from 3-5 minuets), before being released on home media as a single 70 minute movie.

I really do hope these are full half hour episodes, from a full series, but we wont know for sure until more details are released.

Well it is short, as expected. But it should make for a nice movie when combined (56 minuets) hopefully to see a wide release at some point.

I'm shocked. I thought we were getting a FULL series targeted for adults in anime style. Short 7-minute episodes is more what I'd expect for some web series. (not to mention just 8 episodes) That's not even a full hour.

I'm DEEPLY, deeply saddened. I feel like it was a big tease for long-standing, loyal, older fans.

And it's not that I haven't enjoyed the younger-audience shows like Rescue Bots or RID2015 (It's great hearing Cullen chime in occasionally), but we need something meatier. More story, more characterization, real stakes, over-arching storyline, etc. (Not to mention some stellar, world-class animation.)

It makes me wonder why they don't do some one-off direct-to-video movies like we see for other franchises. (Batman, Halo, Riddick, Ghost in the Shell, etc.) The franchise is definitely worthy of it. Seems like a great place to explore some more grown-up themes and solid animation... not to mention a chance to pull in original actors like Cullen, Welker, Bell, Gilvezan, Burger.

Someone please pass this up the chain at Hasbro.

And in the mean time, I'll be praying this series of *SHORTS* is well received and gets expanded to a full series in the future.

"8 episodes, 7 minutes each" So not a real show, essentially a YouTube episode type show, instead of a genuine animated series. Has any info been released on how many of those 7 minutes are going to be opening and closing credits? Hopefully when they're all released someone will edit them into one long video.

Re: Machinima Transformers Combiner Wars Final Script Complete (1767995)
Posted by o.supreme on February 19th, 2016 @ 1:39pm CST

To all those that are disappointed, please refer back to Machinima's Justice League: "Gods and Monsters" -it started as 3 "5 minute" segments, that lead up to an animated movie. It was so well received, that more episodes are coming out this year.

I agree. I would love for Hasbro to follow WB/DC's model (3 adult oriented animated films per year). heck I'd be happy with just one animated film per year. As it is however, this is untested water for Hasbro. If we want to see more, then we need to show our full support of this project.

-Just imagine, an animated film, once a year, "based" on popular Transformers stories both Past & Present. They could pluck stories from any era (Marvel, DreamWorks, but most likely sticking with IDW)- They could be set in any universe (Beast Wars, Unicron Trilogy, Animated etc...) -Or they could just come up with original stories as well. The potential is limitless, as long as we support it. A mature TF series, or home-release films with quality Animation & Writing is something I have waited a very long time for. I think we got a glimpse of it with TF: Prime. But with traditional cell animation, (good cell animation that is) you can do so much more.

Re: Machinima Transformers Combiner Wars Final Script Complete (1768001)
Posted by gothsaurus on February 19th, 2016 @ 2:12pm CST

Agreed! It would be a great way to shirk off the "rules" and do a new G1 story, Fall of Cybertron story, or even one set in other niche areas like Animated. Could be a great selling tool for the "filler" lines like Generations that get sandwiched between the live action movie toy lines.

I've been really pleased with CW and Titan Wars toy lines. They're bringing back some nicely sized figures and overcoming the plastic and simplification issues seen in Fall of Cybertron toy era. Seems like they've found their stride.... Point being, I think those are totally deserving of a teen-adult age series.

Hoping, praying, and supporting their efforts purchasing BluRays.

And on that notion, I MUCH prefer a high quality Blu-Ray release instead of the sub-par DVD releases seen for Animated, Robots in Disguise, Rescue Bots... How does that even happen these days when the series were created in high-def? If I'm paying money for the show, I want quality video.

Re: Machinima Transformers Combiner Wars Final Script Complete (1768006)
Posted by o.supreme on February 19th, 2016 @ 2:27pm CST

Agreed, but it seems that decision is squarely in the hands of Shout!Factory. -They produced Beautiful Blu Rays for Prime. Probably understanding that Prime was watched by a slightly older demographic, and the CG would look nicer in HD. RiD15 & Rescue Bots have a different animation form that doesn't lend itself as well to HD (though no doubt they are produced in that format for broadcast). Also they probably understand its demographic is a bit younger. Frankly I am pleased/surprised we are getting a season 1 DVD set for RiD. I thought we would be doomed to endless single disc releases, as the idea is that parents are buying these on impulse for kids.

Remember, even MLP which has a sizable adult fan following, doesn't even have Blu ray sets for the TV series, in fact they just started getting full season standard DVD sets within the past year or so...

The only aberration I see in this was GI Joe Renegades. Although the animation was not CG, it somehow got a Blu-Ray release (which I proudly own), but perhaps this was the failed experiment that forced S!F to cut costs and only produce DVD's unless an overwhelming support for Blu Rays is shown.

In any event. Whoever gets the home media license for TF:CW, I sincerely hope there is a Blu Ray release. I'm fearing however that with increasing trends, it will be relegated to downloadable media only via sites like Amazon.

They weren't that bad not defending them they were awful but people make it seem worse then what it really was.

Plus it was the voice actors making up the voices not Bay who allowed them to do so.

Bay let the actors for the twins to make up their personalities the intention was for the Twins to be young rookie guys the racist lines and voices were made up by their actors.

G1 is by no means a "niche" area at this point. It may not have a cartoon, but it dominates the comics, the games (console/PC and Mobile), and the toy line. The first batch of Generations msy have been "sandwiched" between RotF and DotM, but since it came back it's been permanent, and is arguably the main line at this point. And it's almost entirely G1 (or WFC/FoC stuff that might as well be G1). To say nothing of all the G1 rehashes in the non-G1 stuff (though that's at least slightly less prevalent in RiD).

Re: Machinima Transformers Combiner Wars Final Script Complete (1768141)
Posted by ZeroWolf on February 20th, 2016 @ 2:36am CST

G1 itself is a blanket term though and has many, many interpretations, and if you follow the Japanese version then pretty much everything is linked together into G1!

Also wfc/foc are officially part of prime (though many disagree with that statement, that's the official take on it...For now)

Anyhow, I suspect that if this proves popular that titans return will get the adaption treatment, though IDW have been quiet about their plans for it.

Me Toooo !!!!
The Transformer mythos is so ripe NOTHING Deserves multiple PG-13+ Animated movies more!
It doesn't make Phucking sense!
- An that idiot talking was kinda knocking A "Stop-motion", motion comic idea.. WtF, C'MON Man Do you know How Dope A "Dark Cybertron" motion comic- professionally made movie would be.....?
An even if it wasn't "INHUMANS" Awesome (Marvel) -- IT'S STILL BETTER THAN THE NOTHING WE HAVE.
'Combiner Wars' could of been/should of been THE BIGGEST Multiple media platform launch in the History of the 21st century, right! The New Dope Toy's, Comic's, A Straight to DvD movie, t-shirts etc. But NOPE......

Instead we get sum Decent Bots & one UGLY, Half-ass written; 8 or 9 comics long 'Combiner Wars' comic story. When they're should of been At least one 50pg+Giant #1/ one-shot FOR ALL the major Gestalts. One-shots that broke down "the Combiner dynamic" or whatever given gestalts dynamic and inter-personal problematic blah blah is chosen (you get how cool it would be).. Which preluded into *A Combiner Wars animea DvD.* An than concluded back in the comics or something. But Hasbro was like Fug-it, Don't let anyone know ahead of time. So when we announce 'CW', IDW an everyone else has to play catch-up. Dicks..

BOTTOM LINE: Hasbro/IDW etc you guys are missing out on what DarkHorse (Hell Boy), Marvel an mainly DC has been capitalizing on for years. YOU GUYS NEED TO WAKE UP! Cause its 2016 this cheese dick Robots in Disguise ain't cutting it, an were sick of watching the dope 1986 Movie.
________________________________________________________

But maybe "Like dude said (somewhere on here)" there exists alittle hope. Because Machima Who apparently did the 2015 "Justice League: Gods & Monsters" which Originally started as only 3 Shorts, thus became ALOT more. Bruce Timm carved out Arguably - an IMO the Best Fanboy Surprise of last year- JL GODS & MONSTERS showed everyone how its done! It essentially Fused itself it's own DC Earth ((DCAU respectively contingent on Morrison's New Multiverse)). 3 Shorts, turned into 3 Prelude one-shot comics (The Batmn one is Exceptional, B.Wayne is A Broke Dr.K.Langstrom Vampire Batmn). Than it snow-balled into A Full DC style- straight to DvD., 90mnt plus movie; with another secondary additional Comic mini-series to boot. And As A whole, its A Phucking 5* Awesome surprise of the highest order. And I herd their going to be doing even MORE with this Twisted mythology.

Thanks to the Machinima Twitter Page we now have some minor updates for the upcoming Transformers: Combiner Wars animated series. We now have a new teaser image showing off Windblade as well as a rough release date of this coming summer on the go90 channel. We have mirrored the original image below as well as a slightly modified image to show off Windblade in brighter lighting.

To the best of our knowledge, it is an adaptation of the Combiner Wars arc in IDW, which very heavily featured Windblade since half of it was in her book. And I don't think it's meant to advertise the toys OR comics, just the brand, in the same way as DC's direct to video movie series.

They'll probably start out that way before going to DVD.

Believe it or not... (stay with me)...Transformers isn't always about advertising toys :shock:

. DC and Marvel have produced animated films for well over a decade loosely based on events from various different comics intended to focus on the brand NOT a particular toy. It can be done. IN fact this is what I have been patiently waiting for...for a very long time.

She has at least three toys...

And two more this year: RID and SDCC 2016, the later being part of Titans Return, the sequel to Combiner Wars so why not keep promoting her?

You may remember a few days ago we brought to you a new poster showing off Windblade with some information regarding the new combiner wars series to be coming. Well, thanks to a presentation at MIP Digital Climax, we now have even more information regarding the upcoming series. We have quoted the information below, and it appears that this is a whole different story, set 40 years after the war ended on Earth and with Megatron and Optimus Prime gone. Read up below and let us know in the comments section what you think of this latest update. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries.

Taking place 40 years after the great war on Earth, Transformers: Combiner Wars introduces new lore and all-new characters that, combined with the characters fans have known for decades, will bring the Transformers storytelling in a new direction.

The Autobots and Decepticons have disbanded and returned to Cybertron. With the days of Optimus Prime and Megatron over, Cybertron is now ruled by a triumvirate. However, an ancient technology has enabled a new threat, the power for multiple Transformers to combine into one massive, dangerous form: Combiners. Who will stand-up to this threat to ensure that the fragile peace that was 4 million years in the making remains?
