Transformers: Fusion Force

Transformers: Fusion Force is the sequel series to Transformers: Mission Earth, and will air March 2020 on Cartoon Network.

SYPNOSIS:
Taking place 25 years after the events of Mission Deep Space, the futuristic New York became a thriving techno-paradise. Optimus is still in-training to be a great Autobot leader. But, memories seldom fade and old habits die hard when Shockwave finds a way to escape his Unicron imprisonment and rounds any remaining Decepticons as he can. Continuing his evil experiments, he creates the Predacons: vicious, savage, animal-like Transformers who rely on animal instinct in combat (with Nemesis Breaker as his first.) When the Decepticons and Predacons both threaten Cybertron and Earth, the young Optimus Prime must be called back into action, and form a team of Autobots to clean up. If that isn't exciting enough, the series also revolves on both Autobot and Decepticon Combiners (Aerialbots, Constructicons, Stunticons, etc.). Will the Autobots master the Combiner art and save the galaxy?!

AUTOBOTS:

 * Optimus Prime: 12-year-old Autobot who is now and still in-training to be a great Autobot leader. While more heroic and braver than last time, he is still the same Optimus from the previous incarnation. While still wielding his father's Sentinel Saber, he also comes with a trailer that becomes the Apex Armor, which allows him to gain his Super Mode form. Transforms into a semi-truck. Voiced by Sam Lavangino.

AERIALBOTS:

 * Silverbolt: an Aerialbot and the oldest of the five. Serious and acts like Optimus' father figure, he keeps teaching him the importance and payoffs of leadership. Transforms into a jumbo jet. Voiced by Charlie Adler.
 * Air Raid: this Aerialbot may be brave but more rash than he thinks he is. But he is loyal and helpful. Transforms into a jet. Voiced by Rob Paulsen.

 * Windblade: geisha-like swords-woman and Silverbolt's younger sister. Transforms into a jet. Voiced by Kelly Hu.
