Netflix’s first ‘Transformers’ teaser reveals a hopeless war
Netflix has posted the first teaser trailer for its Transformers animated series, and it’s now clear just how the service will take on the robots’ origins.
The clip for the first part of the War For Cybertron trilogy, Siege, portrays the Autobots fighting a seemingly hopeless war to prevent the Decepticons from finding the Allspark (the source of the machines’ power) and destroying the essence of what the Transformers are.
It’s not the most complex narrative, although it’s surprisingly bleak for kids’ fare. It even draws eerie parallels with human politics by having Megatron spin the Autobots’ efforts as “aggression.”
