BeyWarriors: Cyborg (anime)

Development
During May 2013 at the "Floor Plan" of the then-upcoming annual Las Vegas Licensing Expo 2013, Nelvana announced through it two, new television series placed under the working titles "BeyWarriors Cyborg" and "BeyRaiderz Shogun". BeyWarriors Cyborg was given a tentative "Fall 2014" release slate. As previously seen with BeyWheelz: Powered by Beyblade, the anime is commissioned by Nelvana and produced by d-rights, being the latest co-production between the two companies.

On June 11, 2013, Nelvana revealed the series would consist of 28 episodes: 26 half-hour episodes and 2 one-hour specials. It was also revealed to launch in over 80 countries with music composed by Catalin Marin, a newcomer to the Beyblade scoring scene taking over from Neil Parfitt and Scott Bucsis who have traditionally done the music for the last, four main Beyblade anime entries. It was also during this time that the series had entered post-production.

On September 9, 2013, a press release sent out by Nelvana confirmed "BeyWarriors BeyRaiderz" (originally known by BeyRaiderz Shogun) and "BeyWarriors Cyborg" as the finalized names of the aforementioned series with the latter confirmed again for its fall 2014 release window as well as to "include revolutionary new play patterns from Hasbro" and "lots of exciting new promotions".

From October 15-17, 2013, Nelvana presented BeyWarriors BeyRaiderz and BeyWarriors Cyborg at the annual Brand Licensing Expo 2013 in Olympia, London.

On April 4, 2014, Nelvana released their "MIPTV Newsletter" for the month promoting their most recent properties and revealing their programming plans for the years of 2015 and 2016. BeyWarriors Cyborg was nowhere to be found, suggesting that its planned release in the fall of 2014 has been postponed with a currently unknown date.

As of May 13, 2014, Nelvana has confirmed "Beywarriors Cyborg is still a production in development conversations" though its anime and toy line were acknowledged.

On May 21, 2014, Yoshihiro Nagamori, the character designer for the anime stated it was still in production and expressed his desire for it to air in Japan.

On June 1, 2014, Yoshihiro Nagamori reiterated his hope for a Japanese broadcast but explained that he does not know whether it is possible and while currently he cannot reveal any details about it, he may begin dropping hints should the series air in Japan.

On June 14, 2014, when asked why the series was delayed, Yoshihiro Nagamori stated that personally, he does not know.

From June 17-19, 2014, instead of Nelvana, d-rights brought BeyWarriors Cyborg and other Beyblade brands to the Las Vegas Licensing Expo 2014.

On July 8, 2014, it was confirmed that the series will begin airing in Italy on the Italian channel K2 every Saturday and Sunday at 11:15 A.M. starting on September 20, 2014.

A synopsis of the series was also released

Trivia

 * Conveniently in its press release announcement, the line "half-creature, half-machines who are all WARRIOR!" is a play on the tagline to the 1987 film, RoboCop: "PART MAN, PART MACHINE, ALL COP.".
 * BeyWarriors Cyborg was also slated to launch in 2014, the same year as the RoboCop reboot.
