We got an update on this before Reactivate.
Whatever happened to Nezha Transformers?
- Thread starter Blindmouse
- Start date
And before GTA VI.
I had my eye on that Cyberverse Bumblebee esque one but the one time I saw it in person it seemed oddly large (the wiki says it's comparable to the Cyberverse Ultra class) and pricey. Would be neat to have something to repurpose as Shaoshao given how the transformation scheme is similar to KP/Alt/early IDW Hot Rod's.
The Team Collection one seems nice, and it's a nifty collection of molds, but it's not as good, especially the shoulder hood halves.

After so long that it's kinda stunning it's happened at all (shades of Micronauts) here's Nehza episode 1:
m.bilibili.com
All the other videos on the site seem to require an app not available in the US but the one at the top of the page, Episode 1 will play on my phone. Yay.
Best I can tell Summary knowing no Chinese:
-ZacWilliam, would theoretically watch the whole show even without subtitles if there's a way...

Best I can tell Summary knowing no Chinese:
Cyberverse Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave and Soundwave are flying a ship that looks vaguely like Shockwave. They attack a space station /space bridge looking tech and energy thing in space. And the Ark with Cyberverse Grimlock, Optimus and Bumblebee about flies over a very mythical looking China.
Meanwhile in the Heavenly realm Nehza is practicing martial-arts god powers and then takes a rest. His comic relief hamster pet goes searching for food. He finds a strange heart shaped mushroom that he wants and pulls it out at the same time as the thing the Decepticons were attacking explodes. The combo seems to make the floating rocks around them expload and frees an evil vampire-witchy lady with a snakeish hood.
Nehza wakes up and the two fight. She eventually flees down a road to what looks like a space bridge pointing down. They have a cool sword vs spear fight and then collide knocking each other down through the portal. They appear in the sky above earth and fall separately to crash into the ground.
The Ark discovers the unconscious Nehza and Op, Grim and BB investigate. Nehza wakes and gets in a fight with Grimlock that only stops when Optimus gets between them and seems to give a heroic speach or explanation. Elsewhere the evil vampire snake lady emerges from a lake all grey and withered and starts draining the life out of the world around her. She drains electricity from some power lines and really likes that. Then she sees a power plant in the distance and smiles.
End episode 1.
Thoughts:
1) Weird to see the Cyberverse models after so long. I know it's just asset reuse but it's kinda fun to imagine this takes place in Cyberverse continuity.
2) A little disappointed not to see any of the new Nehza robots this episode. Animation was pretty good on the non-Cyberverse stuff though.
3) I wonder how available episodes 2 and on will be over here. Cant read any of the page so I have no clue.

This actually happened, wow. I mean sure, why not? At least it made it out.
Does anyone have pics of the bigger (Cyberverse uhhh Ultra ish?) Nezha with the spear and ring, compared to comparable (Deluxe, preferable) mainline Transformers?

Thank you kindly, Dave. The one time I saw this in person at a specialty store years ago it seemed unwieldily big (as I mention above). Other pictures I've seen online since have made it seem less so... but almost all of them were just single or in-hand pictures that lacked any point of reference for comparison. This helps settle that as still a BIT bigger than I'd like. Maybe I'll wait until I see it in person again, or for not as high a price as that store was asking.
Google Lens translation (w/ touch ups by me): CCTV-14 presents the 52-episode animated series "My Nezha and Transformers". A young man has dreams and teams up with heroes. Airing December 6th to December 14th at 8:30 PM.
Every time I am ready to give up on this show THATS when there's news.
Also, is it airing... Continuously... Between 12/6 and 12/14?
-ZacWilliam, cause how else are they playing 52 episodes in 9 days at 8:30 pm?
So 52x11 = 572 minutes of show = 9.53 hours
So Maybe it's on for an hour or so a day? 5 or 6 episodes a day?
-ZacWilliam, or something else or my math is weird.

Checking CCTV-14's schedule it does seem that they regularly air programming for several hours in a row.
Which tbf that's just how most channels work even here nowadays.

I figured out how to stream the show on CCTV's own website, although their video player is very confusing to me. Here's what I have so far:
https://tv.cctv.com/live/cctvchild/index.shtml is the streaming page for CCTV-14, the children's channel.
This screenshot is slightly out of date because it's from last night, but clicking the date in the bottom-left corner will pop up 3 options, they'll be "[2 days ago]", "[1 day ago]", and "Today". (So, as of this writing, it'll be "Saturday", "Sunday", "Today".) Sometimes those buttons will actually jump you to the day, and sometimes they won't, I'm not sure why.
The other way I've found to change days is to click the left arrow below the timeline (circled in green) over and over until I hit midnight, then click on an empty spot to the right of that arrow. However, sometimes when I try to click on the timeline, it jumps me back to today at the selected time. I don't understand this, and I just eventually got where I needed to through sheer stubbornness.
Other relevant controls:
Something else weird about this video player is that it's using MY local time. Like, it's 1 AM Tuesday in China right now, and Monday's episode of Nezha should be available, but right now, the player is locked at whatever was airing at 13:00 Monday.
I hope this helps anyone that's curious about this series, but beyond that, I hope this helps ensure the series is captured in HD and hopefully fansubbed later down the line. (I can't seem to capture the raw stream files, although screen recording does work, I imagine someone more familiar with video production and/or gaming would know how to do that better than I can.) Getting the HD broadcast might be more preferable, because the streaming version appears to have more watermarks.

Other relevant controls:
- Turning off the red toggle switch will disable the timeline and force you into watching whatever is "live" right now. For our purposes, we don't want this.
- The button next to the toggle is video quality, the options from top-to-bottom are "Ultra clear", "HD", "SD", "Smooth" and "Automatic".
- The next button is sound settings, the options from top-to-bottom are "Immersion (speakers)", "Immersion (headphones)" and "Original sound".

They doin' the lawds work, 'ner.
Just finally had the time to watch Episodes 1-3 on Youtube.
Thoughts:
1) It's actually very pretty. I mean it's been a while since I thought a TF cartoon looked as nice as this one does.
2) It's very interesting how the parts of this that are recycled from the original pilot are integrated into the new stuff. I feel like these first three eps are about 40% to 50% bits of the pilot trimmed up a bunch with all the stuff with the Human Kid added in and a little bit more plot at the end.
-ZacWilliam, curious to watch some more.

Watched the next set:
Ep 4) Nezha and the Autobots explore the spooky area where the Snake Witch has drained everything's life. The human kid has secretly followed them and of course runs into the witch. He saves the talking hamster, then Bumblebee saves him, then Nezha saves BB. The other Autobots arrive, the witch runs, and they give chase.
Ep 5) Sherman Dam! Or Sherman Dam's non-union Chinese equivalent. Nezha chases Snake Witch to the dam where she drains its electricity to become powerful enough to fight off him and the Autobots at once. Crashed in the desert the Decepticons watch her and hatch a plan. She's winning until the boy accidentally turns off the dam cutting her power. She threatens to destroy the damn and flood the nearby town. Before she can do it Starscream sweeps in, blows the dam, and grabs her. The Damn crumbles but all the good guys working together stop the flood and save the town.
Ep 6) The Autobots, Nezha and the boy take a cool looking autobots shuttle back to the autobots secret base in a cave behind a waterfall. Optimus fills Nezha in on their backstory with what looks like clips from Cyberverse. The boy (I'm gonna need to look up his name) shows Bumblebee his homemade action figure from the last set of episodes. BB accidentally breaks it but uses the base computers to repair and improve it. Meanwhile the Decepticons have turned Snake Witch into a battery to repower their ship. Which she does until she doesn't. Witchy sucks all the energy back into herself escapes and attacks Starscream before Megatron takes her out with a canon blast and she pleads a deal that (I assume) they'll work together.
Thoughts:
-This show remains very pretty.
- I hope the Witch lady turns into a Transformer at some point. I like her.
- The Dam fight and then saving a town from the flood was very nostalgic to the G1 Cartoon start.
-ZacWilliam, that boy is definitely bucking to get that armor made full size.

Watched the next batch of episodes, 7 to 9.
Episode 7 - Without understanding Chinese it looks like what happens in this episode is that The Boy wants armor like his action figure, so he can be a warrior like Nezha and the Autobots. They say no. He gets Nezha to take him outside and asks again. Nezha says no and explains that Boy is just a kid and needs to grow first. The Boy sneaks past everybody and tries to use the base computer himself. He manages to short out and shut down most of the base. For some reason I'm unclear on, the Autobots and Nezha decide to go through the "Ground Bridge" to a desert. They split up and soon Nezha discovers the Snakey-Witchy Lady using a magic whirlwind to uncover ancient ruins in the desert. Nezha attacks her but Megatron steps in to cover her and she runs off into the ruins.
Episode 8 - Megatron and Nezha fight and it's pretty much a draw, while Snakey searches the ruins. She finds magical tablets and uses a spell to summon/uncover a glowing green lute -ike instrument with a head sculpted into the top. She and Megatron escape as the Autobots arrive. Back at Con base she demonstrates that the lute can create disruptive energy waves and take control of and puppet other beings. She makes Starscream shoot at Megatron against his will. Megs isn't even mad, he appreciates the new weapon. (Also the lute is alive and is a talking wise-cracking side-kick for Snakey.) Back outside Waterfall Base The Boy is trying to stack rocks as meditation. The hamster annoys him but eventually he has a good talk with Nezha.
Episode 9 - In the Con ship Snakey is playing Lute and creates a magic hologram of some sort of factory. They make a plan. Meanwhile Boy is crafting new weapons for his homemade action figure while annoying gluttonous talking hamster is eating and being annoying. When he uses his magic to make a strawberry huge the Boy gets the idea to use the magic on his action figure. It takes Hamster a few tries but it sort of works. The action figure itself vanishes for some reason but the armor grows to boy-size. The Boy dons that stuff SO fast. The kid thinks his staff should shoot energy beams. It does not, but the Hamster tricks him into thinking it does and then falls asleep. The boy runs off to get into big trouble I'm sure, while back in the desert Snakey seems ready to launch her plan.

-ZacWilliam, I want that dragon submarine girl to be a thing darn it.

Thoughts -
- The Hamster is bad, guys. Personality wise he makes Snarf seem like Han Solo. Design and animation wise he makes Scrat look like the statue of David. He feels like a character that should be trying to sell me life insurance on TV commercials at 3am.
- We're 9 episodes in and none of the other myth figures from the unreleased version of the show have shown up yet and neither Nezha nor the witch have shown any inkling of turning into Transformers. I'm gonna be bummed if none of that is in this version honestly because they all had very cool designs.
