Netflix is set to stream the first part of its new anime trilogy. Titled ‘Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy – Siege’, it will come out on July 30.
The official description by the platform reads:
“It is the final hours of the devastating civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The war that has torn apart their home planet of Cybertron is at a tipping point. Two leaders, Optimus Prime and Megatron, both want to save their world and unify their people, but only on their own terms. In an attempt to end the conflict, Megatron is forced to consider using the Allspark, the source of all life and power on Cybertron, to “reformat” the Autobots, thus “unifying” Cybertron. Outnumbered, outgunned, and under SIEGE, the battle-weary Autobots orchestrate a desperate series of counterstrikes on a mission that, if everything somehow goes right, will end with an unthinkable choice: kill their planet in order to save it.”
Animated by Polygon Pictures and produced by Roster Teeth, the series will have 22 episodes. Siege will be followed by Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy: Earthrise.
