‘Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars’ Launches Today With An Episode Focussed On Optimus Prime!
Briefly: We’re finally just a month away from the launch of Transformers: Combiner Wars, and Machinima today debuted the first episode in a four-episode ‘Prelude’ series that will lead into the main series debut on August 2nd.
The four-part Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars reveals the current state of Cybertron from the distinctive points-of-view of four characters – Optimus Prime, Victorion, Starscream and Windblade. The digital episodes will launch weekly.
The series is naturally launching with Optimus Prime, and honestly this may be one of the coolest releases that I’ve seen from Machinima… well, ever.
The series is available on YouTube, go90, and other social media platforms, and its certainly garnering my excitement for the main series.
The Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars episode breakdown is as follows:
1) Optimus Prime, the former leader of the Autobots, reflects on the great war and how it finally ended with a duel between him and the mighty Megatron.
2) Victorion, a Combiner born from the magic of the ‘Enigma of Combination’, describes her anger with this new state of affairs and proclaims her intention to save the Transformers galaxy from the chaos created in the aftermath of disbanding the Autobots and Decepticons.
3) Starscream, no longer the villain we once knew him as, is now a member of a great ‘Council’ along with The Mistress of Flame from the planet Caminus and Rodimus Prime. The burden of responsibility is heavy on the three due to the destruction and loss of life from the ongoing Combiner Wars.
4) Windblade, once an official ‘City Speaker’ to the gigantic ‘Titans’ is tired of the bureaucratic non-action of the Council, who seem to sit idly while her people and her cities on Caminus perish. She decides that the only way to end the Combiner Wars is to take matters into her own vengeful hands.
Take a look at the first episode below, along with some key art for the main series, and be sure to let us know if you’re excited!
