Revision as of 22:44, 17 December 2006
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 remain very similar (with the exception of the usual differences in character names.) The main difference between Cybertron and Galaxy Force is that Galaxy Force has no story ties to any of the previous Transformers series. It is 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 outright destruction of Unicron in the recent stories, but was the result of Unicron(The Dark God) having his spark contained in a safe item resembling the Autobot Matrix of Leadership during ancient times. Because the Dark God was a balance in this universe, time itself began to decay. As we furthered into the future, we come ever closer to the end of time itself, which we percieved as the Grand Black Hole.
Galaxy Force's status as a standalone or a sequel is ambiguous. While all of the source material surrounding it gave solid hints that it was a part of the Micron Legend Trilogy(as stated by Takara). The notes within the final release of the Galaxy Force DVD volumes explored the deeper stories behind what was presented in the show, which contained several links to the previous series, one of which once again presented the idea that Master Megatron had absorbed Unicron's spark and gained his powers.
The most obvious assumption is that the handling of the Galaxy Force story was the result of the brand needing to avoid exhaustion and the over-use of the common story elements in the previous two series. Cybertron was handled and crafted much in the same way. Notable is the fact that alot of the story elements in Galaxy Force and Cybertron are hand-overs from the previous shows. Because the child audience is always maturing and changing, some of these hand-over events seemed to be explained away in styled-down fashion to avoid confusion and too much history recapping. Wing Saber for example experienced a combination with Prime in the Char asteroid belt, which offers a faster alternative to explaining their relationship in the prevoius Energon series.
