Transformers: Cyberverse is a franchise that launched in 2018. It collects large amounts of lore from multiple continuities, not unlike the Aligned continuity family, and blends them into a new story inspired by classic Generation 1 lore, utilizing evergreen character designs.

The Cyberverse franchise consists of:

• A toyline
• A cartoon
• A console video game
• A crossover arcade game

The Nezha: Transformers franchise also borrows heavily from Cyberverse, reusing its character models and repackaging several toys, but is not directly tied to its story.

Overview

Cyberverse as a franchise is aimed at a slightly younger age range than most normal "mainline" franchises: sandwiched between the concurrently-running preschool-age Rescue Bots Academy and the older, more fan-oriented War for Cybertron Trilogy. Its toys are generally simpler with a focus on action features over detail or articulation, while the cartoon has a bright, colorful palette with lively animation, and shorter episodes than previous shows. Both feature character designs based heavily on the Generation 1-inspired "Evergreen" look.

Fictionally, it is built around a retelling of the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons based around a premise very similar to what was attempted in the Aligned continuity family: the war on Cybertron breaks out over Megatron's attempts to change Cybertron that leads to his conflict with his old friend Optimus Prime that culminates in the ejection of the AllSpark and the battle moving to claim its power on Earth. Notably, Cyberverse is the first TV series to explicitly make use of the multiverse as a concept, with acknowledgement of multiple universes in both of its primary fictions, and it playing a major role in the show's third season.
