	2018 saw Hasbro push for a "unified brand look", changing much of its toyline and media output visually to a more singular vision of the brand, as well as... less-costly animation production studios and voice-over. Thus, Hasbro rebooted the main "kids" series once again with the '''''Cyberverse''''' cartoon, a ''different'' cel-shaded CG series focusing on [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)\|Bumblebee]] and making use of Hasbro's Generation 1-inspired "[[evergreen]]" character designs. On top of that, the series moved to an 11-minute format, following the trend in kids' media for shorter chunks of cartoon... plus near-simultaneous (and occasionally early) release online via the Cartoon Network site and YouTube, since the actual daytime Cartoon Network schedule is primarily reserved for in-house productions, leaving most "outside" programming to air in the buttcrack of the morning. In ''contrast'' to most other 11-minute shows, ''Cyberverse'' is heavily serialized, with the events of episodes flowing into one another to an extent not really seen since the end of the Unicron Trilogy. The show ultimately ran for three full seasons before concluding with a shortened fourth season released straight-to-web. While fan reception was lukewarm at first, many were ultimately won over by the show's repeated introduction of new and fan-favorite characters, as well as the compelling story arc featured in the show's back half. ''Cyberverse'' has since been imported to Japan and released exclusively via online outlets, though still not in full.		2018 saw Hasbro push for a "unified brand look", changing much of its toyline and media output visually to a more singular vision of the brand, as well as... less-costly animation production studios and voice-over.

This series follows [[Xiaozha]], a boy who is pulled into a world of imagination, as he teams up with the god [[Nezha]] and the Autobots in their fight against evil. After years spent in limbo, the series finally ~~received a full release~~ in late 2025, though it is very much its own thing and not a direct tie-in to the existing ''Cyberverse'' story.

	During the later stages of ''Cyberverse''{{'}}s run, Hasbro acquired entertainment company [[Entertainment One]], who took over production of all Transformers animation. Following the acquisition, eOne began collaborating with [[Nickelodeon]] on the next mainline ''Transformers'' series. (Given Nickelodeon and [[Paramount Pictures]] share a parent company in Paramount Global, it's a bit surprising we didn't see this happen sooner.) The result of this collaboration was the '''''EarthSpark''''' cartoon, first announced in February 2021. ''EarthSpark'' is, in many ways, a sort of return to form for ''Transformers''; it once again features 22-minute episodes, and returns humans to the forefront of the story after a prolonged absence from most ''Transformers'' media over the previous half-decade like ''Cyberverse'', ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', and the [[Transformers (2019 comic)\|2019 IDW comic]]. Thanks to Nickelodeon directly co-producing, ''EarthSpark'' was also afforded a bigger budget than the last few cartoons, allowing for higher-quality CG animation and union voice acting for the first time in a ''Transformers'' cartoon since 2018, though a shakeup on the production side led to a largely different creative team and animation studio from its second season onward. Originally announced to air on Nickelodeon itself, the series was later confirmed to be premiering first on the [[Paramount+]] streaming service in 2022, alongside airing on Nick. After a standard-length first season, shifts in production resulted in the remainder of the series being split into several shorter seasons, which received a staggered release that concluded with two extended specials in late 2025. The show was brought over to Japan in late 2023, receiving the usual gag dub as well as returning to TV screens, though each episode was split into two 11-minute episodes for the Japanese broadcast.
