Transformers: War for Cybertron: Earthrise is both a very clunky title and also the second installment of the Transformers: War for Cybertron animated show on streaming giant Netflix. Though it shares the same name, it is unfortunately not related to the very well-received Transformers: War for Cybertron video games that released some time back. Instead, Transformers: War for Cybertron: Earthrise is a CGI animated show made in collaboration with Netflix, Hasbro, and Rooster Teeth. With three installments planned, the second season, Earthrise, is coming to Netflix fairly soon, and a brand new trailer has been released to YouTube to help promote it.
The new War for Cybertron: Earthrise trailer has just about everything one might expect from Transformers. There are Autobots and Decepticons, all the familiar faces are there, they're fighting each other on Cybertron, etc. More interesting are the early scenes in the Transformers: War for Cybertron: Earthrise trailer where a large portion of the Autobots have been captured and are being led to a sinister figure with some interest in them. Also of note is Megatron forming an uneasy alliance with yet another villain who almost certainly has ulterior motives. The trailer has just the right ratio of melodramatic narration to robots getting ready for a fight, and seems to be an interesting follow up to the well received first season.
Transformers: War for Cybertron: Siege, despite some controversy over not having longtime voice actors return for iconic characters, still reviewed well overall. That Transformers TV show was praised as being visually impressive and surprisingly deep, making it a high note for a franchise that has had quite a few ups and downs over the many years its been around. Hopefully this next installment in the long-running Transformers media franchise will continue to build on the very solid performance of the first, and will continue to offer fans everything they want out of their favorite robot cars.
Transformers: War for Cybertron: Earthrise will launch on Netflix on December 30th, and will be available to all subscribers when it drops. The first season is also all available on Netflix for those who'd like to catch up on the latest plot developments before jumping into part 2 later this month.
