Yeah. It’s a cartoon.I enjoyed the Dinobot combiner “movie”.
Season 1 starts off kind of slow and weak, but eventually gets pretty good. Season 2 is all around really good from start to finish. Though, its proper finale doesn't come until the first four episodes of season 3 for some odd reason. Season 3... is simply amazing. And the two season 4 movies were pretty good too.
At the time I had continuity fatigue. I wasn't ready to get invested in another universe that would last 3 seasons at best and then vanish into irrelevance. I could make an exception if it showed signs of being something special, but Bumblebee's lifeless face in the preview was easily one of the top 10 most terrifying things I've seen in animation, making the advertised premise of a very Bumblebee-centric show a no-go even if I wasn't already sick of the character.
Hearing that the show did actually get good makes me interested to see it.

It’s pretty good but I feel was held back somewhat by the pace necessitated by 11-minute episodes.
I actually found the pacing really refreshing, and I think they managed to fit in almost the same amount of plot as you'd normally get from a normal episode once you scraped all the filler off. It was really interesting to see as a concept.
Count me as a Cyberverse booster. That show was always improving. From ok, to good, to great.
-ZacWilliam, even the S1 episodes that have a lot of "just ok" do some neat world and history building in the (many) flashbacks.

Is Cyberverse still streaming anywhere?
The entire series is on the official Transformers YouTube channel for free.
Someone actually went ahead and made a proper playlist of all the episodes using Hasbro's official uploads since apparently the official playlists are split by season, have episodes out of order, and sometimes just have random clip videos inserted between episodes.
Cyberverse is fun, the first season is a slow burn that is largely focused on world building through Bumblebee regaining his memories with Windblade's help. Bumblebee's raido talk is done well imo, and is better the Prime's Bumblebeeps. But in his mindscape he talks normally, which makes sense since his physical disability of his voice box being damaged doesn't effect his mental voice. So even if you don't like the Radio talk, its a small part of the show when most of it focus's on the flashbacks. But I do agree that everything after Season 1 is much better, though there is a significant time skip between season 1 and season 2. Enough that there feels like there could be a 'lost season' between them.
And after season 1, the show stops being about Bumblebee. He's still in it, but he's no longer the main character.
And as for the time skip between the first two seasons, some have given thought to the idea of the Transformers: Battlegrounds video game being what possibly takes place during that time skip.

Its not. As some one that has seen all the show and played through the entire game, I can say 100% that the game is an alternate reality to the show.
Not in actual events, but in spirit... in concept, it's basically the Cyberverse equivalent of G1 Seasons 1 and 2 happens between Cyberverse Seasons 1 and 2. Season 2 starts with "the final battle of the War on Earth."
It's actually pretty clever of them to have done the lead up to the G1 Cartoon equivalent War on Earth in CY S1 and then figure the audience "knows how that goes" and jump right to the new and interesting stuff at its climax for S2.
-ZacWilliam, it opened the show up to do something New and more interesting.

Another wild thing is, aside from some VO in faux-Youtube clips in the S2 premier, there are no humans in Cyberverse. No kid sidekicks, no government agents, no secret organizations... not even random civilians. It's all Transformers all the time.
Also has by far my favorite Megatron/Starscream interaction ever.
Are spoiler tags broken or am I just getting old and unasked to use technology?

Just put the word spoiler in between [ ] and use a closing tag for it like [ / ] with spoiler inside it.
Aw. Bummer.
I actually know a bunch of folks who were wanting to see the war on Earth and were really put off by the show skipping over it. Some were so put off to the point that they dropped out of the show entirely because it didn't give them what they wanted to see.
And, no, they don't care about what happens afterward in Seasons 2-4. None of it sounds interesting to them (and, unsurprisingly, they were especially put off by what they heard the show did to the Quintessons, name pronunciation change and all).
There was one human. Briefly. In Season 1.
Someotimes I forget and put the word spoilers instead of spoiler. As long as tis working now though!
