Transformers: Titans Return is an animated web series developed by Eric S. Calderon, Adam Beechen and F.J. DeSanto, and produced by Machinima, Inc. and Hasbro Studios, with the animation handled by Tatsunoko Production. Based on the Transformers franchise, it is the sequel to Transformers: Combiner Wars and the second installment of the Prime Wars Trilogy.

The series premiered in the United States on November 14, 2017 on go90,^[1] and was later streamed internationally on YouTube on January 9, 2018.

Premise[edit]

After the Combiner Wars ended, Cybertron started to be rebuilt. However, an undead Starscream has been reincarnated as Trypticon, wreaking havoc around him. To combat this menace, Windblade gathers up a ragtag team of Transformers, including Optimus Prime and Megatron, to resurrect an ancient ally. And while some may be forever changed by the events, others may not emerge with their sparks intact.^[2]

Cast[edit]

For this series, various actors return from Combiner Wars alongside new cast members, including Transformers veterans Peter Cullen, reprising his role as Optimus Prime, and Judd Nelson, reprising his role as Rodimus Prime / Hot Rod from The Transformers: The Movie and Transformers Animated.^[3]

Episodes[edit]

The series consists of roughly ten minute episodes. The first two episodes premiered for the U.S. audience on November 14, 2017 via go90, followed by a weekly release of new episodes every Tuesday. For international viewers, the first two episodes were released on January 9, 2018 on Machinima's official YouTube channel (as well as Hasbro's, but their uploads were since privatized), and all remaining episodes later appeared on YouTube on January 23, 2018.
