The toy company, Hasbro, has made huge strides in its product releases in the past few years by taking some of their oldest properties and bringing them back for a new audience while using the same strategies that made them so popular before. A prime example of that has been the release of the Transformers. The War for Cybertron trilogy is a toy line that hits the fast forward button on the lore of the Transformers by releasing Siege, which chronicles the war of the Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron. From there, fans are taken on a journey through the toys of some of the Transformers' best stories.
Before the third part of the trilogy, Kingdom, begins to release, fans have been spending time in the world of Earthrise, which covers the time that the Autobots have spent on earth. While the toys may be ahead, the brand new series releasing on Netflix is taking its time during this new era of the Transformers.
The first season, which was based on Siege, released on Netflix to rave reviews, securing its second season. So far, only a new trailer has been released; however, no release date has been confirmed until recently. Thanks to a teaser found on the Netflix Twitter; it has been confirmed that Earthrise will make landfall at the beginning of December!
