Netflix and Hasbro, Inc. in partnership with Rooster Teeth, preview chapter three - Kingdom - of the Transformers: War for Cybertron trilogy. This highly anticipated final chapter will premiere on Netflix on July 29, 2021.
After crashing to Earth, the Autobots and Decepticons are faced with two rival cybertronian factions from a future their conflict accidentally created.
This installment of the trilogy marks the arrival of the heroes and villains of the Animutants series in War for Cybertron. Now the Autobots must team up with the Maximals to fight the Decepticons, who are allied with the Predacons in a race to find the All Spark. However, the Predacons control the Golden Disk, a mysterious artifact that is closely tied to Megatron, giving him a significant advantage over his enemy Optimus Prime. Which faction will win the ultimate battle that will seal the fate of Cybertron?
Join us as alliances shift, fates change, and Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, and Predacons learn that to get what you want, you must be willing to lose everything you have. Whoever controls the secrets of the past will have the power to control the future as the war for Cybertron reaches its epic conclusion.
After the first two chapters entitled The Siege and The Rising Earth, this third installment, entitled THE KINGDOM, closes the War for Cybertron trilogy that returns to the origins of the Transformers universe with a graphic style that will delight fans of the first hour and perfectly express the dark and drifting world in which the robots evolve.
The trilogy is also an ideal entry point for newcomers who will plunge into the heart of this rich universe in which the robots fight a war that will allow them to hold the All Spark, an artifact that gives the one who possesses it the power to save the planet Cybertron on which these robots live.
Format: 6 episodes of ~20 min per season/chapter
Chapter One: The Siege
Cybertron has been ravaged by the civil war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. In an attempt to end the conflict, Megatron considers using the AllSpark as a last resort to reform the Autobots, but Optimus Prime wants to prevent this, even if it means destroying Cybertron to save it. At first, Bumblebee and Wheeljack may have discovered a space bridge while searching for Energon. They were probably apprehended by the Decepticons Starscream, Thundercracker and Jetfire. When the Autobots attempt to escape, they encounter Megatron, but are rescued by Optimus Prime who strikes up a conversation with Megatron and introduces Bumblebee to the rest of the Autobots on the Ark. Bumblebee leaves, claiming that "he doesn't want to fight their war". In the second episode, Ultra Magnus surrenders to the Decepticons, as he repeats that he is "tired of the endless war". Megatron double-crosses him and tortures Magnus to learn the location of the Autobots' base, after using Magnus' comlink to lure the Autobots into a trap. This ambush results in the supposed death of the Decepticon Impactor, who is later revealed to be alive and switches sides after being repaired by the Autobot Ratchet. Wheeljack leads the rest of the Autobots to Ratchet and, after a brief discussion with Mirage, the Autobots convince Ratchet to repair the space bridge found by Wheeljack and Bumblebee. Jetfire and Skywarp eventually find the Autobots' base, but Jetfire defects and defeats Skywarp. At the end of the series, Optimus Prime launches the Allspark across the repaired space bridge to an unknown location.
Chapter Two: Earthrise
The Transformers leave Cybertron in search of the AllSpark, causing the Autobots and Decepticons to land on Earth. Mercenary Transformers board the Arc and fight the Autobots, and in the end the Autobots and Decepticons unite to defeat Scorponok[4].
Chapter Three: The Kingdom (July 29, 2021)
The worlds collide when the Maximals and Predacons join the fight, joining forces with the Autobots and Megatron in an epic battle that will change their destiny forever. This series features characters from the Beast Wars continuity.
