Mexico

The Latin American Spanish dub of this cartoon premiered on the Hasbro Mexico website in late August 2010 with the release of the first 8 episodes. However, the "official" release was in September 6 2010 on the Transformers Mexico website, starting with the first episode, releasing a new episode each week.

Cyber Missions is notable for being the first Transformers series since Robots in Disguise to be dubbed in Mexico and, unlike the original English version, features a cast of mostly well-known voice actors, some of them involved in previous Transformers fiction, as in the case of the VA's of Optimus Prime and Megatron who are reprising their roles from the movies (and also Robots in Disguise if refering to Megatron).

Some of the voice actors that took part in the dubbing of the movies returned but were cast in different roles, such as the one that voiced Skids now voiced Frenzy because the former was not featured in any of the episodes, or were cast in a diferent role even though their characters were in the movies as well as the Cyber Missions, like the one that voiced Barricade now voiced Soundwave and Barricade in turn was voiced by a different voice actor.

Episode 9 was released in September 12 2010 in the Hasbro Mexico website and the last 4 episodes (10, 11, 12 and 13) were released in October 4 2010 at roughly the same time as their U.S. airdates. Episode #13 is notable because, instead of being called Ciber Misiones #13 like the English version, it´s called Ciber Misiones: El Ataque de los Decepticons (Cyber Missions: The Attack of the Decepticons), an appropiate name considering this is the last episode.

Notes

  • According to TG Studios' Cyber Missions trailer page on Vimeo, they were approached by Hasbro in 2009 to produce a thirteen-episode animated series within a time frame of eleven months from the onset. Shortly after completion of the models and the beginning of production on the first three episodes, circumstances occurred which required the final masters for the complete series to be submitted to Hasbro within three months.
