“Transformers: Titans Return” Announced By Machinima

Unfortunately, the series will be available on Verizon’s go90 streaming service.

So far, the Transformers “Prime Wars” trilogy has been a fucking mess and the shitty live-action movies haven’t been helping much in keeping this franchise important. Hopefully, “Transformers: Titans Return” can pick up the slack of the god-awful “Combiner Wars” with the addition of Peter Cullen as “Optimus Prime” along with Wil Wheaton (“Perceptor”), Judd Nelson (“Rodimus Prime and Hot Rod”), Michael Dorn (“Fortress Maximus”), North (“Metroplex”), and Jason David Frank (“Emissary”).  These voices join the “Combiner Wars” cast consisting of Abby Trott (voice of Windblade), Jason Marnocha (Megatron), Frank Todaro (Starscream), Lana McKissack (Mistress of Flame), and DashieGames (Menasor).

Unfortunately, with the good comes the bad.  In a lame attempt to attract a “millennial” audience, a bunch of Youtube “influencers” will fill out the cast featuring the likes of MatPat, creator of the YouTube channels Game Theorist, Film Theorist, GT Live and MatPat’s Game Lab; Rob Dyke, a YouTube influencer best known for “Seriously Strange”; and Tay Zonday of “Chocolate Rain” fame.

Ten episodes of “Titans Return” are coming this November at a much more friendly 11-minutes a pop that will see old and new Transformers team up to fight off Trypticon who is hell bent on destroying Cybertron.
