Netflix is teaming with Habro and Rooster Teeth for the series that will premiere worldwide next year with the series exploring “the expansive universe of Cybertron in a way that audiences have never seen before,” said John Derderian, Director of Anime for Netflix.

Details include that FJ DeSanto, who has worked on the franchise’s animated web series Titans Return and Power of the Primes, will be the showrunner on War for Cybertron, which promises a new animation look and style. Writers include George Krstic, Gavin Hignight and Brandon Easton, with the latter two having worked on animated series in the Transformers universe.

“We’re thrilled to work with Rooster Teeth’s new premium studio division to bring an all-new Transformers fan-oriented series to Netflix,” said Tom Warner, SVP for the Transformers franchise at Hasbro. “Transformers has a rich history of great storytelling and War for Cybertron is an exciting new chapter in the Transformers Universe.”
