hello everyone welcome back to the TJ

play00:10

Omega channel for day 179 of our daily

play00:12

content grind and just as I was trying

play00:15

to figure out what video to go with

play00:17

today oh boy did some big stuff drop big

play00:22

enough that I really don't want to wait

play00:24

for tomorrow's news Roundup to cover it

play00:26

even though we'll probably go through a

play00:27

really quick refresher because this this

play00:31

puts a lot of thoughts into my head and

play00:33

this gives us a lot of things to

play00:35

consider so listings have been found for

play00:39

the replacement for Earth spark and it

play00:42

is officially called Transformers cyber

play00:45

world we had a bit of a back and forth

play00:49

over on Twitter recently like recently

play00:52

like a few hours ago about how Hasbro

play00:55

seems to try to stick to its own

play00:57

terminology when it comes to these

play00:59

transform cartoons either just taking

play01:02

something they already have trademarked

play01:03

or just making something that's very

play01:05

similar to an existing trademark and I

play01:08

don't think they've really come up with

play01:09

an interesting like completely different

play01:11

title since Transformers are Ma I mean

play01:13

what do we have Energon and Cybertron

play01:15

okay already had those covered uh we're

play01:18

excluding Transformers Animated because

play01:20

that's just them being

play01:22

literal uh but for Crea names

play01:24

Transformers Prime obviously I think

play01:26

they've used prime a few times before

play01:28

that series came out

play01:30

cyberverse well that's a hold over from

play01:32

dark of the moon's mini toy line already

play01:35

had the trademark for that in fact I

play01:36

believe that's the series where they

play01:38

just kind of walked in one day and said

play01:39

your show's name is

play01:42

cyberverse uh robots in Disguise

play01:46

twice uh and then Earth spark is either

play01:49

derivative of Earth rise or which would

play01:52

have been a you know a thing at the time

play01:55

of conception of the series or it would

play01:57

have been uh based on just the Spark

play02:00

part of this of the title either way

play02:04

cyber world again just kind of feels

play02:05

like a take on cyberverse again just

play02:08

feels like a very familiar term and in a

play02:11

way that's almost

play02:14

concerning so I want you to point out so

play02:17

I'm going to admit there's not going to

play02:18

be a whole lot of visual examples I'll

play02:19

pop here and there as we discuss these

play02:21

listings but for the most part you're

play02:22

going to be listening to me pontificate

play02:24

and speculate two of my favorite things

play02:26

to do on this channel it makes me

play02:29

realize that like if there are listings

play02:31

for these toys already then Hasbro had

play02:33

the replacement for Earth spark in mind

play02:35

back in season 1's production something

play02:39

they said did or said saw about the

play02:42

series reaction or the toy sales even

play02:44

back then informed them that they needed

play02:47

to devise the next series because you

play02:50

know because typically we know

play02:52

Transformer series like to go three

play02:54

years right so and three seasons for a

play02:57

series we're only in season two of Earth

play03:00

of Earth spark we know it's canceled at

play03:03

this point this is further confirmation

play03:05

you know nothing from the show Runners

play03:08

nothing from like any official Source

play03:10

but with the listings out we pretty much

play03:12

know yeah Lin's cancelled which is

play03:15

unfortunate I hate to see that is what

play03:18

it is

play03:19

unfortunately but for now um I'm looking

play03:23

I look at these and I I think to myself

play03:25

like jeez they gave up on Earth spark

play03:27

pretty quick if they were already ready

play03:29

cuz these listings are already here then

play03:32

these should be we should see these in

play03:36

about you know sometime around the next

play03:38

six months you know potentially even

play03:42

before the year is out depending on how

play03:44

fast they came up with this

play03:46

replacement uh I'm very very curious as

play03:49

to uh what this will all entail however

play03:52

the listings are for the toy line so we

play03:54

can glean a little bit from that and we

play03:56

are starting straight off with CC G I'm

play04:01

going to jump down the list here and

play04:02

spoil what cc is so because at the very

play04:05

bottom we have cyberworld cyber Changers

play04:09

assortment which is the product number

play04:11

and the and you know the the item number

play04:13

for um the entire like like basically a

play04:16

case assortment of it so I'm presuming

play04:19

that everything marked CC in these

play04:21

listings are for individual items which

play04:23

would mean yeah this is you know the you

play04:26

know this is what we're getting as far

play04:28

as like basics simple

play04:30

Transformers uh if cyber CH you know if

play04:33

a cyber changer uh equates to a prime

play04:37

changer you know that we currently have

play04:39

in the Transformers one toy line that

play04:41

would mean we are looking at uh

play04:44

potentially uh like the beginnings and

play04:46

the first listings for the most basic of

play04:49

toys for the series those $15 warrior

play04:53

class you know like below deluxe class

play04:56

toys no real gimmicks or potentially

play04:58

like simple gimmicks that are mainly

play05:01

just there to be easy Transformers for

play05:04

kids the kind of stuff that kind of

play05:06

doesn't do well at retail but maybe

play05:08

that's just my area I don't

play05:10

know point being it seems like a lot of

play05:12

these listings lean toward that CC

play05:17

Mirage if Mirage is this early in the

play05:21

assortment I have to assume that Mirage

play05:24

is going to be much closer based to the

play05:27

uh the rise of the Beast version rather

play05:29

than the Vintage G1 because of all the

play05:32

things that rise of the Beast did you

play05:35

know like the movie itself I think is

play05:37

better than a lot of the berse movies

play05:39

but I still think fell victim to a lot

play05:40

of the tropes and still wasn't as good

play05:43

as say bumblebee so one of the things

play05:46

that did come out of it that seemed to

play05:47

be a net positive for everybody was

play05:49

Mirage seemed to be very well received

play05:52

he was treated the way a character in a

play05:55

movie should be treated it's not viewed

play05:58

as like a prop or like a set piece or

play06:01

you know a CG special effect he's

play06:03

actually like given character Arc he's

play06:05

actually treated correctly so this might

play06:07

be them taking the best of what uh rise

play06:11

of the Beast had and actually adapting

play06:13

it for the new cartoon I would like that

play06:16

I would kind of like that Mirage to kind

play06:17

of Escape it but that kind of enters him

play06:19

into this very crowded field of young

play06:22

upstart Autobots who just happen to be

play06:25

really good at what they do so you know

play06:27

your modern bumblebee your hot rod now

play06:29

I'm aage

play06:30

so who knows who knows um we continue on

play06:34

Cyber World scorpox strike

play06:38

battle this feels like a multi pack

play06:41

thing like scorpox strike battle like

play06:44

this feels like like a multipack thing

play06:46

of like you have one scorpo toy and then

play06:49

like figurines or like another smaller

play06:52

Transformer the like this feels like a

play06:54

gift set of like this is scorpo on the

play06:57

attack um it's a fun it's an interesting

play07:02

listing it's a very interesting listing

play07:05

for me um I would love I mean I would

play07:08

love any kind of

play07:10

like here's the fear is that it's going

play07:12

to be like a more modern like more

play07:15

modern scorpo where they tend to be just

play07:17

like

play07:18

grunts uh I I'm still after that like

play07:21

kind of Voyager scale like kind of

play07:24

Marvel comic propor or like IDW

play07:27

proportion in size scorponok the you

play07:29

know that isn't Titan sized love my

play07:32

Titan want a small one maybe this is it

play07:35

maybe scorpox is actually getting some

play07:36

attention maybe

play07:38

maybe uh armor Galvatron is a

play07:41

fascinating listing armor Galvatron

play07:45

seems to bring up a few things let's see

play07:47

if I can uh find it in my notes here so

play07:50

when you bring up like armor Galvatron

play07:53

these cyberverse toys come to mind the

play07:54

ones with the flip out armor and these

play07:57

these are like the cyberverse ultra

play07:59

class I believe whatever it is um these

play08:02

were actually a lot of these were

play08:03

actually really good some of them felt

play08:05

bizarrely like primitive but some of

play08:08

them like clobber here felt like fully

play08:10

fleshed out figures that also just

play08:11

happen to have you know a somewhat cool

play08:15

gimmick I actually got to thinking what

play08:17

if it's a Megatron toy where you pull

play08:19

out the back and the armor flips down

play08:21

and it becomes

play08:22

Galvatron how cool would that be I would

play08:25

love that um but no what's FAS to me

play08:30

here is that uh we've got Galvatron

play08:33

listed at all when's the last time

play08:34

Galvatron was even in like a TV cartoon

play08:37

he was in the net he was in the Netflix

play08:40

series but then again like we don't like

play08:43

the Netflix series so who cares it's

play08:46

fascinating that he's come up though

play08:49

like to see that here's another one

play08:50

that's fascinating Sky bite is in the

play08:53

first

play08:55

listings I'm curious because that gives

play08:58

us two two animal characters already in

play09:01

scorponok and Sky bite and it really

play09:03

makes me wonder if they are going a

play09:04

little bit different with this series

play09:06

after all one of my concerns with the

play09:09

next iteration of Transformers was that

play09:11

they were going to avoid what was going

play09:14

on in cyber in the earth

play09:18

spark uh by actually like my worry was

play09:21

going to avoid what was happening in

play09:23

Earth Spark by Going Back to Basics you

play09:26

know not trying to do anything like

play09:27

weird or experimental but we might we it

play09:30

sounds like we actually might and I love

play09:31

the idea that Sky bite's getting some

play09:33

full attention the next listing is Meg

play09:36

Bull and okay we have a Megatron toy why

play09:39

is it named

play09:41

megb now I'm really curious are we

play09:44

actually getting more animalistic

play09:46

villains because it seems like

play09:48

everything that's mentioned here that is

play09:50

obviously a Decepticon is all

play09:54

animalistic and also we have a Megatron

play09:57

listing alongside a Galvatron listing

play10:00

what is going to happen here now I'm

play10:03

really

play10:05

curious this is fascinating to me this

play10:08

is bringing up possibilities here I'm

play10:10

actually loving this uh CC snarl we got

play10:13

a Grimlock on the list I'm going to talk

play10:14

about here in a second but uh yeah looks

play10:17

like snarl is going to be in it now keep

play10:19

in mind if there's more animalistic

play10:21

intentions behind this it might not

play10:23

necessarily be G1 Dinobot snarl it might

play10:27

actually be like either either Cybertron

play10:30

Bas snarl the wolf or you know uh Beast

play10:33

Wars

play10:34

snarl I mean pie like like shooting for

play10:37

the moon here but like maybe we might

play10:39

actually get something different and not

play10:40

just another round of

play10:42

Dinobots but then again Dinobots are

play10:45

guaranteed sellers so maybe this is a

play10:47

way of like anchoring the series onto

play10:49

something that is less risky uh that's

play10:51

another possibility as well so we will

play10:53

see but right now it's just him and

play10:54

Grimlock on the list uh we have a

play10:57

listing for uh you know a Iber changer

play11:00

Optimus Prime

play11:02

off-road um and I haven't it's

play11:05

interesting to see a weird take on

play11:07

Optimus Prime right away when I think of

play11:09

off-road I think like these kind of

play11:10

truck Optimus Primes they're like more

play11:12

boxy heavier tires you know there not a

play11:15

semi- truck it's made for like heavy

play11:17

terrain so something like this but the

play11:20

fact that it's like one of the first

play11:21

listings is surprising we don't have a

play11:23

normal Optimus Prime listed anywhere in

play11:25

here and they're already going to

play11:27

something that's a little bit more

play11:28

gimmicky and a beat which is fascinating

play11:31

this is again an interesting development

play11:34

Chomp and battle Grimlock I'm presuming

play11:38

with a name like that this is going to

play11:39

be one of the bigger gimmick figures um

play11:43

cyberverse had their ultimate Grimlock

play11:45

that had a bunch of gimmicks that were

play11:47

akin to that but the chomp thing is

play11:50

different and again it's kind of

play11:51

reminiscent so Stomp and Chomp Grimlock

play11:54

was a thing at one time it came out for

play11:56

age of Extinction and then they ha has L

play11:59

repainted it and tried to make it look

play12:01

like rid Grimlock which was like one of

play12:04

the worst one of the like most blatant

play12:07

reuses I've ever seen like look nothing

play12:09

like them

play12:11

obviously kind of funny when you think

play12:13

about it kind of funny when you look at

play12:15

it but yeah this really feels like it's

play12:18

just going to be the big gimmicky

play12:20

Grimlock toy of the line uh and then we

play12:23

have armored cyber Changers so we have

play12:26

cyber Changers which we see a bunch of

play12:28

listings for some very interesting

play12:30

character names but we also have armored

play12:33

cyber Changers uh where is my picture

play12:35

for that cuz it puts me in the mind of

play12:37

things like this from Rise of the Beast

play12:39

like the armor that comes down onto

play12:42

their onto the smaller robot these are

play12:45

fine but they're kind of Hit and Miss

play12:47

for me I think it throws the proportions

play12:49

off a little bit too much for it to

play12:50

really be convincing uh if I'm really

play12:54

like getting my hopes up here where is

play12:56

it uh I'm more in the mindset of these

play12:58

things

play12:59

you know the cyberverse ones where they

play13:01

had a little figure or a little vehicle

play13:03

or animal or something that could come

play13:05

apart and recombine into armor for them

play13:07

that would be my preference that sounds

play13:10

cool so that would be my idea if that

play13:13

would if I'm the one running things this

play13:15

is what I would make armored cyber

play13:17

Changers but it seems like they are

play13:19

going a little bit heavier on that size

play13:22

class which makes sense so that way they

play13:25

can release more characters at that you

play13:28

know particular style

play13:30

without having to like bulk at like dump

play13:32

out too many figures at the same price

play13:34

point this way they can have a larger

play13:36

price point more toy more play value but

play13:39

the core Transformer Inside the Box

play13:42

could potentially be just the same size

play13:44

as the other cyber Changers so you can

play13:47

have a more complete and full roster

play13:49

that is potentially going to fix a

play13:52

problem that they've had with these toy

play13:54

lines uh since they started doing this

play13:57

with cyberverse which is just getting a

play14:00

consistent cast out and getting

play14:02

everybody out in the same size class I

play14:04

don't care if it's Warrior or Deluxe or

play14:07

whatever it is I want a full cast which

play14:10

has been kind of difficult to get you

play14:13

know I will even

play14:15

foro I will even forego you know getting

play14:19

them in scale but like the prime

play14:22

Changers that we that we've gotten so

play14:24

far they're sans's gimmick they're fine

play14:27

they're just fine they're just cheap

play14:29

Transformers and there's been some that

play14:31

are kind of me but there's also some

play14:33

that have been really impressive for

play14:36

what they are and for how much they cost

play14:38

so if they want to take this design and

play14:41

go okay let's add armor to it and you

play14:43

know just to kind of get more characters

play14:44

out and give it a little bit more play

play14:46

value I'm all for

play14:49

that my fear with this series you know

play14:52

these are just the thoughts that I that

play14:54

came to my mind as soon as we started

play14:55

seeing these listings like I said it's

play14:58

pretty apparent that Earth spark got

play15:00

cancelled or they decided to move on

play15:02

from Earth spark pretty early which

play15:04

tells me that the initial sales for the

play15:06

toy line was probably so bad they

play15:09

started hitting emergency buttons season

play15:12

2 had already been green L you know you

play15:14

know very early so they were committed

play15:16

to that but season 3 obviously gets

play15:19

cancelled um I don't know what the

play15:22

show's going to do about that hope they

play15:23

had time to fix everything before they

play15:25

got cut um and then my concern here is

play15:30

that Earth spark Earth spark I think is

play15:33

a really good show but season 2 I will

play15:37

admit feels like it goes back to Safe

play15:39

stories and safe tropes for animation

play15:42

and kind of does away with some of the

play15:44

things that makes the series unique and

play15:46

I think that's a mistake I think Hasbro

play15:49

might have seen how different it was in

play15:51

season 1 saw some reactions and went

play15:55

maybe we went too far maybe we should

play15:57

have had a little bit more control over

play15:58

this it definitely feels like season 2

play16:00

has a little bit more Hasbro medling in

play16:02

it and I can guarantee whatever they do

play16:04

for the next series is going to be a

play16:06

little bit safer they're definitely

play16:08

using interesting characters but I feel

play16:10

like we're not going to take the risks

play16:12

that Earth spark

play16:14

took let's get this straight Earth spark

play16:16

is a good cartoon you can have your

play16:18

different opinion on that I will have

play16:20

mine I have enjoyed the series as a

play16:22

whole um I do feel like I do feel like a

play16:26

subpar toy line as well as is just

play16:29

Cartoon Network really not doing

play16:32

anything good with the series and not

play16:35

really you know putting any kind of real

play16:37

respect on the series in the way they

play16:39

treated it both in uh their air you know

play16:42

this the air times on on their Network

play16:45

as well as like where you know wear it

play16:46

airs on Paramount I'm saying Cartoon

play16:49

Network I mean Nickelodeon apologize for

play16:51

that it's right in front of me

play16:53

Nickelodeon but the point is the show

play16:56

has been treated very poorly by the

play16:58

network it's been shuttled around into

play17:00

different time slots which is always a

play17:02

bad idea it's gotten some incredibly bad

play17:04

time slots where they typically stick

play17:07

shows to

play17:08

die so if anything has caused it to fail

play17:11

like there's a lot of reasons there's

play17:12

marketing there's bad toys there's just

play17:14

poor handling by the network to the

play17:17

point where I don't know who's getting

play17:18

the cartoon for cyber for cyber world

play17:21

but I really do hope it's not

play17:24

Nickelodeon because I don't think they

play17:25

have been a good partner for uh for for

play17:28

Hasbro also doesn't help that Paramount

play17:31

plus is one of the lowest subscribed

play17:33

subscription Services there is you know

play17:36

if you want a lot of kids to see your

play17:38

cartoons you put them on Netflix

play17:40

right so uh yeah those are the fears and

play17:43

the fear that you know because we're

play17:45

going to cyber world that we're kind of

play17:47

going back to the vibe of cyber verse

play17:49

what's interesting is that there's no T

play17:51

bumblebee in those listings however the

play17:55

cyber world name does invoke a few

play17:57

things it does invoke cyber ver which

play17:59

makes me feel like we might be doing

play18:01

something similar but it also invokes

play18:03

Cybertron itself so we might be dealing

play18:06

with a series that doesn't go to Earth

play18:08

me personally and this you know as a

play18:10

Storyteller I think the Earth connection

play18:12

is important you need human characters

play18:14

for kids watching to kind of bond with

play18:17

and see themselves in and you also need

play18:19

perspective characters to introduce

play18:21

viewers to who the Transformers are what

play18:24

this universe is like you know you need

play18:26

someone who's out of the loop in order

play18:28

to explain things to the audience and

play18:31

that usually ends up being some kid

play18:34

character that's ping around with the

play18:36

Transformers so when you uh when you put

play18:40

it all on Cybertron you take that away

play18:43

it's not necessarily what's going to

play18:44

happen but the idea of cyber world does

play18:48

kind of lean into that so we're not

play18:51

entirely sure uh like like I said right

play18:54

now it's just a bunch of listings and

play18:55

speculation but they do tell a lot don't

play18:59

they the fact that they're pulling

play19:01

characters like Sky bite means that you

play19:03

know they're they want an interesting

play19:05

roster for the toy line that's great we

play19:08

see a lot of animals in the listing

play19:10

scorponok Sky bite bull whatever the

play19:13

bull is uh snarl and Grimlock you know

play19:17

we got a lot of Beasts going on here

play19:19

that's actually kind of encouraging that

play19:21

they might be doing something again a

play19:23

little bit different I worry about the

play19:25

story but it seems like the character

play19:27

choices are interesting I'm still

play19:29

curious why Megatron is listed as bull

play19:33

you know it might just be abbreviation

play19:34

by the way it might be a bulldozzer in

play19:36

this series for all we know um and but

play19:39

still why is Megatron and Galvatron both

play19:41

in the listings I really want to know

play19:43

why is Bumble me on listings I really

play19:45

want to know I this has got me super

play19:49

curious

play19:50

concerned but super curious

play19:53

nonetheless so this just it's just

play19:56

really big it's really big news that I

play19:58

have to talk about and I think it's

play19:59

bigger than just a news Roundup can

play20:00

handle and obviously I've got a ton of

play20:02

thoughts and directions I want to send

play20:04

this in so I'm going to let you guys

play20:05

speculate in the comments below I'm

play20:07

going to keep it a little bit short this

play20:08

time just so we can get this in and out

play20:11

because it's just raw imagination at

play20:14

this point what this series is going to

play20:15

be but now we get to talk about it so

play20:18

feel free to talk about it in the

play20:19

comments below and as always I will see

play20:21

you next time
