In June 2020, Netflix will release Transformers: War For Cybertron: Siege, a show that Transformers fans have waited decades for.

Coming from Rooster Teeth Animation, in conjunction with Hasbro, Polygon Pictures, and Netflix, this latest entry in the 36-year-old Transformers franchise promises a new animation style as well as a focus on more adult storytelling. While shows in the past have been filled with Easter Eggs and references for returning fans, this is the first one that has been created from the ground up with adult fans of the franchise in mind.



This is something the fandom has had their hopes up for more than once through the years. Both the Bayverse movies and the YouTube Power Of The Primes cartoons were sold to us as Transformers for grown-ups, and both failed to really fill that role, instead coming across much like the extended toy adverts that the franchise started out as.

When War For Cybertron rolls out, the situation should be very different, but that doesn't mean the show will be any good. Here are ten things Transformers: War For Cybertron needs if it's going to light our darkest hour.
