Here’s the official synopsis:
Transformers: EarthSpark centers on two human kids as they forge a connection with Transformers robots like never before and work alongside fan favorites like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. This animated series is comedic, heartfelt, high energy, and action-packed, featuring new characters, and stars a diverse, multi-cultural human family, reflecting the current world we live in.
eOne family brands president Olivier Dumont said, “The 26-episode CG-animated series will expand the Transformers animated universe and bring an all-new more than meets the eye story to life. This new series is a fresh creative take on the brand, which will excite long-time fans around the world and soon to be fans alike, all being introduced to the robots in disguise by an A list creative team led by eOne’s Mikiel Houser.”
Nickelodeon Animation president Ramsey Naito said, “As soon as I read the creative concept, which at its core is about family, I knew we absolutely had to tell this story with our good friends at eOne and Hasbro. EarthSpark will tell a re-imagined story featuring both original characters and fan-favourites, including Optimus Prime, for a whole new generation of kids and families.”
