Changes: Cybertron (franchise)

Revision as of 07:04, 5 January 2007

The name or term Cybertron refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Cybertron (disambiguation).

Cybertron is the third and final Transformers franchise in the Unicron Trilogy.

The Cybertron franchise featured the following primary components:

A comic book series was initially planned for Cybertron, but its intended publisher, Dreamwave, went out of business before the line began. The Transformers fan club newsletter includes a short comic story in each issue which is branded with the Cybertron name. This comic, while featuring UT characters, also stars various characters from other timelines, and is loosely tied to 3H's Universe series.

Galaxy Force

Galaxy Force, the Japanese version of Cybertron, is somewhat different than its English counterpart.

The general plot and storylines remained very similar (with the exception of the usual differences in character names). The main difference between Cybertron and Galaxy Force is that the Galaxy Force cartoon has no story ties to any of the previous Transformers series. It was treated as a new stand-alone continuity featuring entirely new characters, whereas Cybertron is scripted as part of the Unicron Trilogy with many of its characters representing new forms of important characters from that continuity family.

This division leads not only to character differences but also to different takes on some key events. The Unicron Singularity (or Grand Black Hole in Japan) was not created by the destruction of Unicron in the Galaxy Force telling, but occured due to the loss of an evil cosmic balance in their ancient past.

However, liner notes in the last Galaxy Force DVD release do make links to previous series that mirror those from American material. These notes would seem to retcon Galaxy Force back into the Unicron Trilogy.

Also to note it seems like even tho Mini-Cons did not play a huge part in the general story line, but yet in the american verison we can cleary see that only one mini-con can speak english.
