Season 2 Premiere Synopsis: New wonders and new threats have been unlocked on CYBERWORLD. Energon Surge is taking over, but will it be a source of danger or immense power to those who learn to harness it? As fresh troubles rise, old alliances fracture. Bumblebee, once cheerful and loyal, finds himself sinking into the depths of his angst - still reeling from revelations that have changed his whole worldview - his inner turmoil amplified by the wild physical changes he is experiencing. Elsewhere, with his leadership in question, Optimus Prime must reunite his team to uncover the truth behind this strange world, before CYBERWORLD tears them apart for good.
Set inside the unpredictable realm of Transformers: CYBERWORLD, the series follows Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Elita-1, Megatron, Grimlock and other fan-favorite bots after they awaken in a strange digital world with no clear path home and no answers about how they arrived. To survive, they must navigate escalating, game-inspired trials that challenge their instincts, loyalties and ability to adapt as CYBERWORLD pushes every faction into unfamiliar territory.
Fans can continue the adventure beyond the screen with the Transformers: CYBERWORLD Energon Surge toy line - including BUMBLEBEE POWER SPARK, SOUNDWAVE DEEP SEA EXPLORER, CYBER CHANGERS - available now at most major retailers. Download product images HERE.
