For co-executive producers Ant Ward and Dale Malinowski have worked on several iconic animated projects, and landing the next Transformers series with Transformers: EarthSpark for Paramount+ is a childhood dream comes true.
The animated series geared for a much younger generation has the Autobots and Decepticons at peace after a Cybertron war. With a new adversary, Optimus Prime and Megatron must unite their forces to face this unknown threat and unlock the secrets of Terran robots.
