Transformers Earthspark is coming to larger audiences within the UK as it's been announced that the show will start next week on CBBC and iPlayer. CBBC has an average monthly viewership of 2.8 million within the UK with iPlayer increasing this number significantly. That's double it's closest rival CITV, four time the reason of Cartoon Network (including +1) and five times that of nickelodeon (inc +1) within the UK. Read on for the press release.

Hasbro’s global entertainment studio, Entertainment One (eOne), has signed a deal with BBC to broadcast season one of the animated series Transformers: EarthSpark for audiences in the UK. The first ten episodes will launch on July 25th on CBBC, from Monday to Thursday, and also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Following the release of the first batch of episodes, additional new Transformers: EarthSpark content will continue to roll out on the BBC platforms.

Transformers: EarthSpark, co-produced by Paramount, introduces a new generation of Transformers robots – the first to be born on Earth. Together with the human Malto family who welcomes them in and cares for them, they’ll redefine what it means to be a family. Set on present-day Earth, Transformers: EarthSpark centres on two human kids as they forge a connection with Transformers bots like never before and work alongside fan favourites like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

“We’re delighted to work with our friends at BBC to have kids and families enjoy the captivating Transformers: EarthSpark series,” said Monica Candiani, EVP Content Sales at eOne. “More and more, we’re seeing the heartfelt excitement kids get when they see characters and storylines onscreen that reflect their own lives and experiences. This is the kind of joy we’ve been seeing with Transformers: EarthSpark, and we hope to bring these important feelings of inclusivity to families in the UK, while of course delivering on the action and fun that Transformers has brought to multi-generational audiences for nearly 40 years.”

Transformers: EarthSpark has been greenlit for a second season.

Earlier this year, eOne announced broadcast deals with global broadcast partners to air Transformers: EarthSpark, including Gulli in France, Clan in Spain, Super! In Italy, NRK in Norway, DR in Denmark, TV3 and TV8 in the Baltics, TV Azteca in Mexico, TV Cultura in Brazil, Viu TV in Hong Kong, Channel 5 in Singapore, RTV in Indonesia and TV9 in Malaysia. Episodes will launch throughout 2023 in all of these markets.

Hasbro has uploaded the third episode of Transformers: Cyberverse to their Official YouTube Channel. Much like the previous episodes, Episode 1 “Fractured” and Episode 2 “Memory”, the video is in HD, has English audio and is region-free.

Robert Cullen, founder and Creative Director of Boulder Media, recently joined a panel at Animation Dingle 2017 with Darragh O'Connell of Brown Bag Films, Alex Sherwood of Giant Animation and Niamh Herrity of Pink Kong Studios to discuss service work, I.P., the perks of having a studio in Ireland and the importance of networking.

Mr. Cullen stated “We get free toys which is great. When [Hasbro] approached, they were looking for a studio that could bring great taste and flair to the projects. They basically gave the keys to the world of Transformers. "What would you do for the Transformers? How would you reboot Transformers?" Which is amazing really. It’s like every geek’s fantasy. I could play around Optimus Prime”.

It's expected that he is referring to Transformers: Cyberverse, though the company is also working on Rescue Bots Academy.

He also stated that the team has initiated a full CGI Feature Film project for a Hasbro property, which we learned as a film based on the Transformers Live Action Movie Universe (a.k.a. Movieverse).

This video contains cut & altered audio from the Transformers Generation One episode The Ultimate Doom Part 1. The audio is from an original cassette tape of session that took place when Dan Gilvezan was not present and so Wally Burr read his lines. The video ends with the full audio recording from the "human horde" session that would ultimate be spliced into place during final editing

Since we announced that we had acquired some original audio cassettes containing Marvel Productions slugged and unslugged material which we would be sharing the deleted and extended scenes from we've received numourous requests regarding specific episode. Currently we are still working through the tapes to find out what is on them and to transfer them into a digital format. Remember these tapes have not been played in 30 years or more so we are being extra careful with them. What we can do is to share what recordings we have recovered thus far:

Transformers

1. More than Meets the Eye Pt 1 - Unslugged
2. More than Meets the Eye Pts 1& 2 - Slugged
3. More than Meets the Eye Pt2 - Unslugged
4. More than Meets the Eye Pt2 (copy)- Unslugged - Needs comparing to see if its a duplicate audio track or a different composite

6. More than Meets the Eye Pt3 - Unslugged
7. More than Meets the Eye Pt3 - Slugged
8. Roll For It - Unslugged

4. Excerpts from Dawn of the Sun Imps

We recently announced, via Twitter, that we have aquired several audio cassettes containing original studio dialogue from both the Sundow Productions cartoons of Transformers and Visionaries as part of our larger Visionaries archive project. Whilst the documents and audio are being sorted, checked and slowly converted to digital format we are please to be able to not only confirm that we have both slugged and unslugged tapes, but that they do include the audio dialogue for the scenes that were removed from the final cartoon episodes.

As such we are please to be able to bring you this short teaser of content from the Generation One episode More than Meets the Eye - Part 1. Within this almost two minute clip you shall hear dialogue from two extended scenes as well as a scene that was completely removed. There is also a little something extra at around the 40 second mark to confirm that these are studio recordings ;)

You can listen to the audio by using the embedded video below. We have includes a transcript of the dialogue underneath the video on this site as well as under the description on the YouTube video.

The missing scene is between Wheeljack and Bumblebee with the first extended dialogue also between the two with the second being Soundwaves.

Ben’s World of Transformers (or BWTF.com) have posted a photograph taken of a large billboard in New York City which is advertising the next Transformers film, Transformers: The Last Knight and features Optimus Prime facing up against either three "dragons" or a three-headed dragon, a Decepticon flag hoisted atop a space vessel of some kind. Whatever the case, it already looks like the cast of villains for Transformers 5 will be an interesting one.
