Well it was only a matter of time before there was a new installment in this one. Transformers continue to be made and they continue to make shows based on them. Since my last article in 2020 further Transformers shows have been made and I haven’t discussed their intros…because I haven’t seen them.
After escaping the pit of the action show abandoning Cartoon Network, Transformers moved to Netflix rather than resume with Discover Family. Their new show is going to be on Nickelodeon, but that’s the kids show. I don’t know where the next adult collector targeting show is going to be. So I’m really not able to tell if these shows are any good or how well the intro shows them off because I don’t have Netflix. It requires money and I don’t have any.
Still, I need to get something done quick today and this fits the bill. The “War For Cybertron Trilogy” (not to be confused with the video game because Hasbro doesn’t just recycle names of their figures anymore) is based on the adult toyline, while BotBots is based on a line of handheld transforming figures that live in a mall. Again, I haven’t watched either of them but will these intros make me sorry I don’t?

In the previous chapter we got Jake out of the cryogenic prison. While we learn a bit about Jake’s history and personality so much of the focus thus far has been on worldbuilding and how in the future we are in this story. That and some pacing issues I’m starting to notice concerns me. For now I’m just doing the one chapter thing but at some point I can see doing multiple chapters just to move the story forward so hopefully this won’t be an issue for long. I’m very pro-worldbuilding but not at the expense of the actual narrative I’m here to read.
Usually it’s near the end of the book that I run out of topics but so far this book has given me so little I don’t even have a starter to keep these intros at a decent length for the homepage. So let’s get into chapter 5 and see what happens when Jake gets home.
Ok, I’ve got nothing to work with here. Sorry, folks.
