New TRANSFORMERS: WAR FOR CYBERTRON Clip Reveals Cliffjumper During Rooster Teeth's Comic-Con@Home Panel
Rooster Teeth had their big Comic-Con@Home panel today and during it they revealed some new footage from their slate of upcoming animated series including RWBY Volume 8, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Red vs Blue: Zero and Recorded by Arizal. The most exciting thing for me was seeing Cliffjumper make an appearance in the Transformers: War for Cybertron clip. It was a short clip, but still cool.
The panel brings together Barbara Dunkelman, Kerry Shawcross, Yssa Badiola, Fiona Nova, Torrian Crawford, and special guest F.J. DeSanto to talk about their projects revealing new details and answering fan-submitted questions. Here is a roundup of announcements from the Rooster Teeth SDCC@Home panel:
Red vs. Blue: Zero will premiere this fall and star Achievement Hunter member Fiona Nova in the lead role of Agent One. Red vs. Blue: Zero is written and directed by first time showrunner Torrian Crawford (Death Battle). In Red vs. Blue Zero, a mysterious syndicate leader known only as Zero seeks an Ultimate Power, and a ragtag team of heroes and misfits called SHATTER SQUAD must work together to save the galaxy. During the panel, Torrian premiered a teaser that previewed the series and revealed a behind-the-scenes look at the production.
Recorded by Arizal follows Arizal, a smart, inquisitive teenage girl on the brink of adulthood and in pursuit of her dream career - to become a Record Keeper. The 2D animated series is helmed by Rooster Teeth Animation Director Yssa Badiola. The series premiered on July 13 and runs until August 3. During the panel, Yssa revealed an exclusive clip.
Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy will premiere on Netflix on July 30. On their dying planet, the Autobots and Decepticons battle for control of the AllSpark in the Transformers universe's origin story. Showrunner and executive producer F.J. DeSanto joined the panel to talk about the series and his experience working with Rooster Teeth Studios on the production. He premiered a first look featuring Rooster Teeth voice actor Miles Luna as fan-favorite Cliff Jumper.
RWBY Volume 8 continues production from home and is premiering later this year. In Volume 8, our heroes' worst fears have finally been realized: Salem is here, and the timing couldn't be worse for the divided Kingdom of Atlas. Fear has turned friends into enemies, while doubt threatens to splinter humanity's remaining allies. With both Salem and Ironwood stacking the odds against them, and the fate of Remnant at stake, it's up to team RWBY to make their play before it's too late. RWBY Director Kerry Shawcross and Barbara Dunkelman, voice of Yang Xiao Long, talked through the upcoming Volume and premiered a first look clip. Other RWBY announcements:
RWBY is collaborating with artist Babs Tarr to release a limited collection of RWBY merch available later this year.
The RWBY Volume 7 soundtrack launches on July 31 on all streaming platforms and will be available for purchase on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon.
