Not really sure where to put this since it's Combiner Wars, yet also sounds like it takes place in the G1 continuity. At any rate... Hasbro and Machinima are currently in France promoting upcoming shows at the MIPTV Conference 2016. From TFW2005, we have some details about the Combiner Wars cartoon...
Sounds reminiscent of the backstory to Beast Wars with the end of the Great War. The Autobots and Decepticons being phased out, a trio (Magnaboss) taking over at the leaders of Cybertron... Be interesting to see how this factors into Combiner Wars.The series will consist of 8 episodes and will debut in July.
Series Summary (Possible Spoilers):
Taking place 40 years after the great war on Earth, Transformers: Combiner Wars introduces new lore and all-new characters that, combined with the characters fans have known for decades, will bring the Transformers storytelling in a new direction.
The Autobots and Decepticons have disbanded and returned to Cybertron. With the days of Optimus Prime and Megatron over, Cybertron is now ruled by a triumvirate. However, an ancient technology has enabled a new threat, the power for multiple Transformers to combine into one massive, dangerous form: Combiners. Who will stand-up to this threat to ensure that the fragile peace that was 4 million years in the making remains?
During the conference it was also stated that the series is geared towards the adults.
Transformers: Combiner Wars is brought to us by famous writers/showrunners Eric Calderon, George Krstic and F. J. Desanto.
