Trivia:

It was believed by many that the character of Override was originally created male, and then changed to female for the American dub, to give the show more female characters. (An occasional occurrence, such as in the original "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" series.) This was incorrect, as the character of Override was created by the American company and intended to be a female, but shifted to be male in the Japanese version; clues to the character's original gender include her behavior towards Megatron (blushing and acting coy).

Version of "Transformers: Galaxy Force" (2005)

Autobots, Decepticons.....GO!

I'm loving the Cybertron series very much. I think it took some time for me to get used to some of the changes that happened. Scott McNeil not reprising his role as Jetfire, and Brent Miller not reprising his role as Hot Shot, which I think is the worst thing the writers could have ever done, and a lot of other things. I think it the thing for me was that Cybertron wasn't Energon and that's something that still have to get used to. Overall it's a good show with excellent CGI animation similar to that of Beast Wars only more Asian influenced. I think it's the best thing to come along since Beast Wars. I hope this CGI animation will continue on into the next series and hopefully it will be just as good as the other series.
