Following yesterday's post, we have yet another teaser for the Bumblebee film! Thanks to user Survivefan23, we can find the teaser from UIP Türkiye on Instagram. The teaser itself starts off with Blitzwing dropping Bumblebee off a cliff. We actually get to hear Blitzwing's voice, but instead of David Sobolov, it is possible it is just a scratch test voice actor. Bumblebee, who is wearing his Jeep kibble, scans a Volkswagen Beetle upon htting the ground. We then get some footage of Bumblebee putting on his battle mask, Charlie talking to him and a shot of Optimus Prime on Cybertron. The trailer ends with a shot of Bumblebee jumping onto a police car that looks very similar to the Energon Igniters Nitro Barricade.

We assume this car is Barricade, as Bumblebee probably wouldn't have a reason to attack a police car in a tunnel.

Note that when Bumblebee is in the tunnel, he has a Volkswagen Beetle hood chest, similar to his Speed and Power Plus toys, though this could just be a mid-transformation thing.

You should probably have an open mind and see the movie first before proclaiming it to be dirt.

Okay, that's enough. You can dislike the new film all you want (even if it's foolish to do so based only on a trailer and a teaser), but now you're going into personal insults and that will not be tolerated. Like it's been said, there are a lot of different types of fans who like different things in the franchise. Accept it and move on. No amount of whining will change what others like.

Grow up. The user was called a fan girl. An "insult" would be something far greater kid.

Btw I've cited what the director has said so not just from looking at trailers and teasers. At least try to hit the target when aiming behind a screen.

Cullen not reprising Optimus Prime is the final nail in the coffin for this shit show of a movie.

Personally, I'm not keen on the G1-themed Cybertron flashbacks, they look too similar to the War for Cybertron games, and aren't very consistent with the aesthetic of the previous films. I'm still undecided on whether or not I'll see Bumblebee when it's out, while I'm not a fan of the 80's retro theme, I've always liked Hailee Steinfeld and the new Decepticons all have decent designs. If Studio Series toys of Blitzwing, Shatter and (car mode) Dropkick are ever made I'll probably pick them up. For now, Bumblebee is still sitting next to Aquaman on my 2018 movie maybe pile.

It's been confirmed that Cullen will be Optimus in the movie, I think they may have just used Jon Bailey's voice for the trailer like how Blitzwing's voice isn't David Sobolov.

I suspect they were more referring to the fact that one commentors comment stated not just that the previous one was a fan girl, but the fact that there is no context to the next sentence implies that they are also calling the person Dirt for not hating a movie that we haven't seen yet! Ddon't judge the film by the trailers or word of god, judge the film by the film.

Come on dude, your just unnecessarily digging the hole now.

I wasn't offended by your statement but you were stating this (and these recent posts of yours) with the intention of not being "nice"
and more so as being demeaning and talking down, that kinda qualifys as an insult.

Why should anyone respect your opinion when you yourself are not respectful. (Over a movie from a children's franchise I might add)

Peter is confirmed to be Optimus in this movie you know.

Edit: Can't really call a movie bad (or good as well) when it's not even out yet, I don't understand why giving the movie a shot first doesn't work for some people.

Well we can say a movie looks bad from the trailer but we would still have to allow for the fact, it could be a bad trailer.

Only when the film is out and we've seen it can we consider it a good or bad film, but even then that is just our opinion and not a fact.

If your response to an opinion you don't like is to dimissively say, "Oh, you must be a girl", that is an insult. It's an insult to the person whose identity and views you're reducing to a one dimensional characiture, and an insult to the women whose opinions you're saying don't matter.

I wasn't offended but I must point out that I'm not a girl but actually I identify as an attack helicopter which is why Dropkick is my idol.

...it might just be because I'm re-watching/showing my girlfriend Beast Wars, but Blitzwing almost sounds kinda like BW Rampage in the tease, to me at least. Given he's supposed to be voiced by David Sobolov, that's just funny.

i.e. Can we stop fighting and get back on topic?

Apparently we have different definitions of what an insult is. Your continued insistence on deriding those who support the new movie just because you don't, even after I told you to knock it off, is the problem here. Since I gave you a warning earlier in the thread, now you can have one on your profile. And again, move on from insulting other people. You don't like the new movie? Fine. You don't get to degrade those who do.

Yeah your right, should of just left it.

Anyways I had a theory that the reason that the Cybertron designs don't mesh as well with the Earth designs aesthetically is because it might be leftovers (The designs not necessarily the cgi or anything) from that Transformers One Cybertron prequel that's presumably not happening anymore.

Would partially explain why the Cybertron stuff is a supossidly late edition to the Bee movie.

Posted by Decepticon Stryker on September 23rd, 2018 @ 4:34pm CDT

Okay, I really really really REALLY love that Soundwave design. But I agree that it clashes with the rest of the movieverse aesthetic. However, I think I know why the Cybertronian forms don't match up with the ones in the first film. I think that the forms we saw in the first movie may have been new modes they adapted in order to travel from Cyebrtron to Earth without the aid of a starship or a spacebridge. I know there's a one-in-a-million chance of that actually being the case, but it would explain a lot.

Also, I've been meaning to say this for a while: I think Blitzwing looks more like Ramjet that Starscream. There isn't any blue on him that makes him look like Starscream. And keep in mind that Movie Ramjet does not have a conehead.

Anyway, I'm honestly looking forward to this, it looks like it'll be a lot better than the other films.

I see from twitter that the whole discussion about Blitzwing not being Starscream is still alive and well. I have to wonder if the only thing that will truly lay it to rest is if Blitzwing changes into a tank in the movie (doubtful but what else would end this debate)

Somebody on one of the other websites pointed out that in one of the shots it sort of looks like Blitzwing has a cannon on his back, but it could just be kibble being kibble.

And not like the comics really mean much to the overall movie but in the Bee prequel comic he is indeed a triple changer there.

Re: Aesthetic discrepancies, I'm still hoping this is a reboot, and that the tie ins to the Bay movies that are there, are simple homages or attempts at brand consistency. Alternatively, I think it'd be interesting if the scenes on Cybertron weren't supposed to look real. Remember how Transformers Prime switched to like a painted motion comic style when they explained the Predacons to the kids? I could imagine something similar here.

Edit: And Starscream has had a tank mode before so Blitzwing being a triple changer would likely change little.

Everyone's talking about the G1 designs in the :michaelbay:

universe, so here's my two cents: I have a load of respect for G1. It's the thing that started it all and it came first. I'm one of those rare, weird people who prefers the Bayformers aesthetic above all else (seconded and thirded by Cybertron and Prime, respectively), but I still do appreciate the simplistic look that the 80s had to offer. Having said that, I too am mixed on this footage. On one hand, I'm glad classic Transformers is getting some love in live action, and knowing Industrial Light & Magic are the wizards behind the CGI of these designs just maximizes the awesomeness for me. On the other hand, the fact we've had the 2007 aesthetic for eleven years now makes the sudden shift back to old school jarring. And I think that's why others feel like it is a weird change, because it's a jarring change. If this truly is a reboot of the DreamWorks/Paramount era of Transformers, people are still going to be weirded out for a while. It's just a matter of getting used to it.

Stay tuned as I give my thoughts after I watch tomorrow's trailer.

It is a reboot, Paramount just doesnt want to use that term too much. But Hasbro used it and so did John Cena. In reality, its whatever you want it to be. They clearly dont care, so why should we. I just want to watch a good Transfomers live action movie and this might be the first time that happens.

Seeing Optimus and Soundwave on Cybertron makes me feel they are part of a video game. No, that's too generous; these designs look like the uninspiring G1-washing redesigns that purists have to make as if they feel their childhood has to be replicated 24/7 no matter what. Okay, Bumblebee I can get past by since they want him to be younger (though out of place next to TLK's WWII scenes). Optimus should have looked like his Protoform toy. Soundwave feels like the TF version of overly praising Boba Fett. There's no friggin way that these designs would blend in with the movie designs we've seen since 2007. I don't care if people think I'm not a real TF fan just because I don't like G1 (I like G1 when it's minding its own business and not making other shows try to be like it). This inconsistency between Cybertron and movie designs has got to be as bad, if not worse, than the inconsistency between the WFC and Prime designs, yet people will get praise for it because IT's MUH NOSTALGIA!!!!!

Then again, people think the MCU Hulk turning from a no-nonsense powerhouse in his solo movie to becoming a coward and immature child in Laffalok and Infinity Cash Grabs is character development.

Okay after finally finding a trailer that worked (a lot of them wouldn't load up for some reason). I'm actually quite optimistic about this film. The decepticons are actually engaging in a bit of deception for once in dealing with sector 7, which pleased me. Love the shots of shatter and Dropkick going from one alt to another and back again. I'm also liking the connection they are building with Charlie and Bee. Still not too keen on the overly g1 designs on Cybertron but from what I've heard that a small segment of the movie anyway so won't be too much of a problem for me, and things might gel better once in proper context anyway.

Final thoughts: This looks like the tf movie we should have recieved back in 2007 and I'm hopeful that I can catch it at the cinema

Posted by angtre on September 24th, 2018 @ 4:35am CDT

I suppose that the G1-esque looks are a direct consequence of the recent "evergreen" approach to Tfs... not entirely my taste, but only because this movie is supposedly in continuity with Michael Bay's ones (not that those movies had much consistency, after all :-?

).

Ultimately these looks were probably not even an option when the first movie came out, before years of superhero movies: after all the first X-Men ones had no traces of spandex at all, just black leather uniforms. The audience was not yet accustomed to the colorful uniforms, and producers feared that the characters would have looked too childish, potentially cutting out a large slice of the more "mature" audience.

Getting back to the topic, I have great hopes for this Bee movie (pun unintended); maybe if it does well, it will leave the Bayformers continuity, and become the first one of the new Tf cinematic universe.

This is looking more and more promising so hope the end product doesn't disappoint. They sure are pandering to us g1 fans this time around. The cybertron cg looks a bit too game like but I'm digging the designs - nice mix of old and new. With immediate character recognition and connection.

I really enjoyed the first TF movie but went totally daft from the sequel onwards. Hopefully this does well enough to reestablish the franchise.

very happy with the G1-esque looks being used being able to identify classic characters in new stories is important.

from what I understand this will be a forever prequel.

it can go with the existing movies but will also work with a new continuity.

While you have undoubtedly seen the new official trailer for the upcoming Transformers Bumblebee Movie - as we posted directly onto YouTube and here on our front page - thanks to UIP Singapore we also have a third trailer of sorts, featuring some of the footage that was shown at San Diego Comic Con 2018, with a lot of Blitzwing / Bumblebee interaction (or B 127, as Optimus Prime calls him in the clip) and some more of the plot and footage shown in the video overall, including Agent Burns (John Cena) , Charlie Watson (Hailee Steinfeld) and more Decepticons from the Cybertron scenes.

Check the clip out embedded below, join the discussion on the Energon Pub discussion boards, and rewatch all the trailers on our YouTube channel too!

I have to say, this Bumblebee movie looks more and more like the modern action film (franchise) it's supposed to be.

If this is a soft reboot to the wrecking-ball slinging, lubricant leaking like R. Kelly, unintelligible action and mostly human character scenes having Poopamount produced fodder from the last decade, I'm going to see this in the theaters.

I felt nearly every animated series that came in the wake of Transformers 2007, a Cybernet Space Cube full of "remember these things" did a better job of story telling than the Bay films did. And some of them had 3 hours to do so.

The G1-inspired robot designs are a bonus; the vibes that this is indeed the "kid and a car" adventure at its core that viewers were sold years ago...I'm all in.

Maybe Poopamount doesn't want to make the same mistake that Warner Brothers is making with the DCEU.

...who are those two robots who call Bumblebee a criminal, by the way?

Looks good. I'm still reluctantly hopeful there's a movie worth watching here.

Looks very cool, but wow does the trailer show "too much" of the movie. Really not too hard to piece together the entire general plot at this point.

Dropkick and Shatter look super fun.

Shockwave sighting! Also a very brief look at Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Cybertronian Mode Blitzwing on the right in the shot with 'ol one eye.

Shatter and Dropkick are literally just FANTASTIC! Love 'em! They literally shows on why I was into the TF live-action films in the first place. Just amazing. Blitzwing is totally awesome too! The fight scenes between Bee and those cons are just WOW!
Really hoping there's gonna be Barricade there.

As for the G1-esque bots, I personally feel that this don't mix well with the awesomeness Bee and the cons have brought. Don't get me wrong. They look pretty nice. But they don't seem to belong in this continuity. I would be really impressed had they been introduced in another installment (could be a new series, or a game), but in this movie? That feeling is kinda stamped out.

Thankfully, the stuff that's on earth is amazing enough to still get me hyped for this movie.

Just my two cents.

Yeah, I'll admit it, G1 ALL the way for me.

This movie can then spawn two line of toys, possibly, including present day and the Cybertron range. Either way the closer they get to G1 the closer they get to selling more toys to the older guys as well as the kids. Cha-ching. $$$$

If this is a soft reboot to the wrecking-ball slinging, lubricant leaking like R. Kelly, unintelligible action and mostly human character scenes having Poopamount produced fodder from the last decade, I'm going to see this in the theaters.

I felt nearly every animated series that came in the wake of Transformers 2007, a Cybernet Space Cube full of "remember these things" did a better job of story telling than the Bay films did. And some of them had 3 hours to do so.

The G1-inspired robot designs are a bonus; the vibes that this is indeed the "kid and a car" adventure at its core that viewers were sold years ago...I'm all in.

Maybe Poopamount doesn't want to make the same mistake that Warner Brothers is making with the DCEU.

...who are those two robots who call Bumblebee a criminal, by the way?

Us fans like it but how do new fans like it hey are ones who bring in more money to this series and thanks to bay transformers have new fans but new fans do not watch cartoons and do not read comics so if new fans don’t like this only people who will see this movie is little kids and people who go on this web site something need be considered deeply if some old transformers fans actutllay talk to new transformer fans they them self will know this,.

Do I like yeah I do but is g1 perfect no but are bay moves perfect no but they are realistic unlike comics and cartoons that made people into new fans of transformers to begin that comics and cartoons could never do some parts movie look like live action cartoon but more importantly will new fans go see this more than once that bay movies made them fans to begin with,.

What story with transformers it’s autobots vs deceptions good vs evil one try conquer universe good stops them not much to say same can be said with super hero comic book movies this superhero series but hero’s and villains are giant alien robots that transform and not all all then have human faces shockwave, soundwave, grimlock.

Prime with faceplate off started with cartoons beast wars, machines, transformers prime, rid, energon, cybertron, rescue bots

This one shows much promise at having heart, something that has been sorely missing from this franchise.

Oh. Oh my. Oh my my my.
This may be the most excited I've felt watching a "Transformers" trailer in 10 years. Holy friggin' crap I think I had TEARS rolling down my face from excitement!! Shatter and Dropkick look way good, Soundwave looks like....well, SOUNDWAVE, Optimus actually looks like he Transformers into a truck/vehicle (as compared to his AoE rebooted design), and the action looks simply amazing. And that's just it, the action looks....simple. Not boring, but simple. Well choreographed bot v con fist-to-fist fight scenes that don't include an onslaught of needless explosions and a countless array of nameless Decepticons. THAT'S what Transformers are meant to be!! I can't wait for the world to finally be introduced to what a live action Transformers is supposed to be!
I am now left to wonder, however, how they plan on justifying the inconsistent Cybertronian designs with the previous movies, and the lack of aesthetic continuity present, but honestly I don't really care. There's always been a notable lack of continuity in these films, so at least now they seem to be using that to their advantage to make a GOOD and well-made movie. And more power to them for it. :APPLAUSE:

Maybe the Cybertronian scenes are just a way to sell the Siege toyline among the one for the movie... well played, Hasbro. As if I didnt' like it already a little too much for the sake of my wallet.

The trailers look great! Makes me even more excited to get SS VW Bee and hopefully an SS Blitzwing somewhere down the road.

That shot of Hoover Dam makes me really hope we get a brief glimpse of frozen Megatron, that’d be awesome!

I love Bee’s expression when he points to Charlie after she asks if he has family.

I've been really excited for this movie since the first trailer. But WOW, am I pumped now. That was unbelievable. Seriously, the most excited I've been for a Transformers movie since the first Bay flick.
