Transformers: War On Cybertron Trilogy Lands On Netflix July 30

The Transformers have been staples of animation nearly as long as they’ve been mainstays of the toy rack. They’ve starred in plenty of cartoons throughout their thirty-plus years of existence, some better than others. The best examples are the ones made by people who take the lore seriously — which is why we’re optimistic about Rooster Teeth’s upcoming prequel trilogy, War On Cybertron. Originally announced as three movies (hence the “trilogy”), War On Cybertron will instead be split up into six 22 minute episodes apiece. The first of these, subtitled Siege, will premiere on Netflix at the end of this month. The Autobots are on Earth because civil war wrecked their home planet of Cybertron, and the Decepticons are here because they’re jerks who followed them. Rooster Teeth’s trilogy retells how that all went down. Turns out the fate of Optimus’s home planet came down to one decision… The war that has torn apart their home planet of Cybertron is at a tipping point. Two leaders, Optimus Prime and Megatron,

gen:Lock Is Locked In For A Second Season

Last year Rooster Teeth launched their most ambitious project to date, a CG cel-shaded mech series called gen:Lock. The first season has gotten a fair amount of exposure — you might have seen it on Rooster Teeth’s streaming channel, on Crunchyroll, or on Toonami during its broadcast run (which ended last month). By the time the season ended, the storyline was far from resolved, but it won’t be cliffhung. Rooster Teeth and WarnerMedia just announced a second season is now under production, and it’s heading to…………..HBO Max. What else were you expecting? No, this does not render all Rooster Teeth subscriptions useless, though it may make consumers consider dropping one for the other. The second season of gen:Lock will be an HBO Max exclusive for just the first three months of its release….after that Rooster Teeth’s FIRST members will get to see it. By that point though they’ll probably have switched to HBO Max already. “We’re beyond excited to be producing a second season of gen:LOCK for HBO Max,” said

When two geeks meet, one conversation they inevitably engage in is how well one popular character would perform if they had to fight against another popular character. Darkseid vs. Thanos? Batman Vs. Road Runner? Sunshine Bear vs. Strawberry Shortcake? Rooster Teeth’s Death Battle! is a webseries devoted to these types of questions. Hosts Wiz and Boomstick propose two different characters fight (usually properties of rival companies), analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and get into debate over which would reign victorious. The topic has taken the series into its sixth season, and now it’s getting merchandise…in the form of a card game. You might be wondering how Rooster Teeth can sell such a thing. Doesn’t every Death Battle take place between superheroes and cartoon characters that would cost millions to license? Well, here’s how they’re doing it…they’re providing you with the tools to host your own Death Battle against another person. You decide who you and your rival represent in the grand world of imaginary characters. Death Battle! is a fast-paced

Rooster Teeth is a studio best known for their anime-styled TV programs, but they also make games. Their latest, Vicious Circle, just launched on Steam. Vicious Circle is a multiplayer shooter where four mercenaries materialize in a circular arena and have a limited time to grab up as much loot as possible. It’s every merc for themselves in this game, so don’t be afraid to pull some dirty tricks on the other players or they’ll do the same to you! Your bigger problem is the massive monster that’s in the arena with you, controlled by a fifth player. Your roles are randomly assigned in each match. As a merc, your goal is to simply escape with the most loot. But as the monster, your goal becomes to stop the mercs by any means necessary — and you have the enhanced senses and special powers to do it.

Rooster Teeth is known for many things, but one of the most notable feats is being able to create so many memorable IPs. It started with Red vs. Blue, but it’s blossomed into something much more. One of their biggest shows by far however is RWBY, the “American Anime” set in the world of Remnant and combines fantasy, sci-fi, cyberpunk, and more for an adventure truly unlike any other. RWBY Volume 5 continued the adventures of its four main characters in many ways, and soon, you’ll be able to own the adventures yourself. On June 5th, RWBY Volume 5 will be available on Blu-Ray and DVD. It’ll contain all the episodes, as well as behind-the-scenes talk with the cast and crew, including some features about how the production of RWBY has changed from its humble beginnings to its now worldwide acclaim.

RWBY Manga Anthology Vol.1 To Release May 15th

Todd Black rooster teeth, rwby, Viz Media 0

Rooster Teeth has made many hit series over the years, but arguably their greatest is the one and only RWBY. An anime created by the late Monty Oum, the show focuses on four ladies in the realm of Remnant, and their journey to become Huntresses and to save their world from an ancient threat. The anime has gone on for five seasons, but because of the layout of the show, there’s a lot of stories still to be told. Well, Viz Media is going to help with that, as they’re working to bring the RWBY universe alive in new ways via a manga, the first volume of which is set to release in just two weeks: “Based on the hit Rooster Teeth series, an art and short story collection diving into the backstories of Team RWBY will debut later this month! RWBY OFFICIAL MANGA ANTHOLOGY: RED LIKE ROSES will be available at retailers everywhere on May 15th, and the volume will also be available the same day in a digital edition

Rooster Teeth’s RWBY series is being turned into a new tabletop game. It’s the second stab at the tabletop experience from Rooster Teeth, who previously brought us the card-based “Million Dollars, But… The Game” in 2016. Now they’re deep in production on a board game starring some of RT’s most popular characters. To create this product RT is teaming up with Arcane Wonders, creators of games like Sheriff of Nottingham, Mage Wars, and Viral. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long will all be playable characters. One of the best things about this campaign is that it’s overseas-friendly — citizens of Australia, New Zealand and anywhere in the EU (which still includes England, for now) will pay no extra shipping fees! As for Canada…..uh, they have to pay for some reason. Players play as one of the four main heroines in the series: Ruby, Weiss, Blake, or Yang. Each player has their own separate deck of cards representing their attacks, actions, and moves. Each character plays a
