Transformers: Fusion Force

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

SYNOPSIS:
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.
 * Fireflight: timid and shy, the man-child Aerialbot has a pretty low attention span. He is easily distracted which sometimes cause him to have collisions. Transforms into a jet. Voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
 * Nightcruz: smartest of the Aerialbots, who prefers thinking before combat. Transforms into a jet. Voiced by Troy Baker.
 * Rook: 10-year-old Aerialbot who doesn't fight much but enjoys flying and is good at coming up with tactics. Transforms into a jet fighter. Voiced by Max Charles.
 * Bulkhead: the oldest of the Aerialbots with sharp wit. He may be old for a fighter, but is a skilled veteran who witnessed and took part in battles, and is not afraid to go into one nowadays. He sometimes has a little sense of humor. Transforms into a helicopter. Voiced by Carlos Alazraqui.
 * Windblade: geisha-like swords-woman and Silverbolt's younger sister. Transforms into a jet. Voiced by Kelly Hu.

 * Stormcloud: naval Protectobot with a typical sailor's accent. He usually focuses on missions on the sea. Transforms into a speed boat. Voiced by Jeff Bergman.

TRAINBOTS:

 * Unicron: Known as the Chaos Bringer, his mind had been wondering in the Spirit World for 25 years until the Autobots and the Decepticons arrive in the Spirit World to stop Sixshot. Before Sixshot can leave, both Unicron and Megatron take over Onslaught's mind, as they argue over who will be revived, thus making Onslaught's life harder. Thanks to the first Wish Star Onslaught steals, Unicron now serves as the Decepticons'/Predacons' newest base of operations and their worshiped God. He vows to devour all of the planets in the universe again someday. Voiced by Clancy Brown.

DECEPTICONS:

 * Galvatron: As Megatron, he has been in Sixshot's head, haunting him because he was too angry for his failures and lack of trust. Pushed to the edge, Sixshot snaps and vows to free himself from Megatron and enter the Spirit World to get him out. Now, alongside Unicron, he now inhabits Onslaught's body and orders him to use a Wish Star to resurrect him. But it backfires when Unicron takes possession of Megatron's body and re-formats it. After the Autobots won, Onslaught used his second and final Wish Star to send Megatron's mind in his reconfigured body, now redeeming himself as Galvatron (without the need to merge with a human this time.) He is cruel, ruthless, brutal, sadistic, and more powerful than ever. Mixed with Predacon DNA, he can launch an array of attacks. As a triple changer, he changes from alien jet to a dragon. Voiced by Frank Welker.
 * Sixshot: Once known as the Decepticon scientist Shockwave, finally freed of Unicron's imprisonment so he can destroy the Autobots and continue his twisted experiments, is the leader during Megatron's absence. He is the creator of the animal-like Transformers called the Predacons. Due to his old and current one getting old and breaking down, he transfers his soul to a bigger, stronger, and more advanced body, renaming himself Sixshot afterwards. He has six modes: robot, tank, rocket car, spaceship, cannon, and flying tiger. Voiced by Greg Ellis.
 * Starscream: Revived by Unicron, Starscream serves as Sixshot's second-in-command, but finds the one-eyed Decepticon more unworthy than Megatron. Transforms into a jet. Voiced by Mark Hamill.
 * Crowbar: a maniacal, hotheaded Decepticon. Ranked as Sixshot's right-hand man, Crowbar also has a habit of cracking bad and sometimes offensive jokes and annoying his boss. He loves breaking things and is very sadistic. Transforms into a muscle car. Voiced by Paul Rugg.
