“For the first time ever, Transformer bots have been born on Earth.”While hardcore fans may rush to find examples of Transformers coming to life on Earth in past series, EarthSpark looks to be doing something completely different with the characters of Twitch and Thrash. The trailer makes it clear that they’re born on Earth but we don’t know why yet. What power source lead to their creation and what does it mean for the overall story of the series? It’s Transformers so you know it won’t be a simple answer. There’s tons of lore just waiting to be explored but that’s not all.Twitch and Thrash’s human companions have a sleeve device that sends them the bots’ “feels.” Other human characters in Transformers series have had connections of a sort with the Transformers characters but the two main bots of EarthSpark may have a closer connection than we’ve ever seen before. Can the humans just sense the bots’ feelings or will we see an even deeper connection? All the action footage glimpsed thus far makes it appear that they’ll be working together, so maybe the humans will be able to power Twitch and Thrash up? Work in sync with them somehow? We’ll have to wait and see! Kathreen Khavari (who you’ve previously heard in the fantastic Netflix series, Dead End: Paranormal Park) had this to say about voicing Twitch. “I’m beyond proud to be a part Transformers: Earthspark, and so excited to play a role in such a beloved franchise. It’s a rich and beautiful world, and I especially love that my character, Twitch, is a brand new bot. I can’t wait for fans to experience the series.” We’ve also got a quote from Zeno Robinson (Big City Greens) who voices Thrash. “As someone who grew up with Transformers as a kid, it’s such an incredible blessing to be able to join Transformers: Earthspark and add to the legendary mythos in such a unique way! The show is funny, action-packed, and made with a whole lot of heart. I’m excited for everyone to see it!” In case you’ve missed what Transformers: EarthSpark is all about, we’ve got the official synopsis of the new series right here. Transformers: EarthSpark will stream exclusively this November on Paramount+ in the United States and on Paramount+ and select Nickelodeon channels internationally. Transformers: EarthSpark is created and co-executive produced by Dale Malinowski (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and executive produced by Ant Ward (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
