Transformers: War for Cybertron: Kingdom (Season 1)

Transformers: War for Cybertron: Kingdom (2021) is a sci-fi animated series you can watch online on iFILM. It closes out the Netflix trilogy: Autobots and Decepticons chasing the Allspark crash onto a strange world and run into the Maximals — the beast-bots straight out of the old Beast Wars lore.

Optimus Prime and Megatron have to stomach each other, because the Allspark is the last hope for a dying Cybertron and only the newcomers hold the key. Dinobot, Cheetor and Airazor don't trust these arrivals from the robot homeworld, and whether that suspicion is fair plays out across the six episodes. The stakes climb, alliances buckle, and the ending rewrites everything set up in Siege and Earthrise.

Animated by Japan's Polygon Pictures in dense CG, it gives every panel of metal a real heft and every punch a ton of weight. This is the third and final chapter, so it lands best after the first two. Built for franchise diehards and anyone who grew up on Beast Wars. Stream Kingdom (2021) online on iFILM.
