    Again, X-men First class situation. Marketed as a prequel, enough of established lore from previous movies that it sorta works but a ton of changes that brings it closer and more faithful to the source material(G1). If it does well and people like the changes, they use it as the jumping point for a reboot or alternate universe, if it fails, it goes down in flames with the rest of the bayverse.

    I always had a suspicion that this was going to be a soft-reboot. I'm glad that, in a sense, I was right. I don't have anything against they Bay movies (they are what they are) but I am ready for something new.

    I guess this also means Martin Short isn't voicing Bee? Unless he's a voice on the Radio Bee uses.

    After 10 years of seeing Micheal Bay sneering down his nose at the existing fandom giving us wrinkly fries from the bottom of the bag, and making horrid movies, I have everything against him.

    Annnnnd the reason Dan Gilvezan was unavailable/not asked given that Bumblebee is a VW again and this movie is set in the 80s is...?!!?

    Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system and am past that initial disappointment - BUMBLEBEE WILL TALK AGAIN!!!! THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!

    Dylan's voice sounds right for the youthful character. I look forward to seeing what he brings to the role.

    If the timing was different and he was a little younger now but Michael J Fox would have made a good Bumbler voice.

    This is a pleasant surprise but I still have a feeling Megatron mught rip his voice chip out during the Cybertron scenes. If not, cool I think Dylan is a good fit for the voice, he\'s certainly in the demographic of who I would picture voicing Bee. The best part of this announcement is the confirmation on how much they are rebooting things and going away from what Bay did with the franchise. Frankly at this point the only thing that connects the 2 in any way is Bee's face.

    That is what I've been saying.

    Lets just take a step back and appreciate this franchise for what it IS and can become, not fighting for what it WAS before.

    I find this entire argument in general such a strange paradox. What the franchise "was before" was, in fact, constant change. Since the Bayverse hit the last time we have gotten a good proper reboot was Animated (Prime as well to a lesser extent, but Prime and the bayverse in general feel like they were the start of the stagnation problem)

    Personally i wish the franchise would go back to how things were done before because i want the drastic changes we got every few years back. Im sick of this constant slog of slight variations to G1.

    Give me something unique, give me brand new characters, give me crazy twists on old characters.

    As excited I am for Bumblebee, its still just "More G1" to me. Give me something like a shattered glass beastwars/armada crossover with balls to the wall designs and you'll have my full attention.

    Alright I think this is a perfect fit. Not that I have anything against Dan Gilvezan but the franchise needs new blood.

    So just how much G1 have we gotten on the big screen thus far?

    None. (Sans the 86 movie which doesn’t really count in this conversation)

    All we’ve had is slaps to the face on most of the characters. And name slaps. Yes it’s been “new interpretations” but to the detriment of said characters. And referring to them as “characters” is over stating what they’ve provided to the franchise.

    I still don’t get the defensive nature towards the movies we’ve gotten so far considering they have ruined all that’s been touched upon minus a few nice moments.

    Seriously, what Bay has done has helped the franchise to no end...but to complain that this film isn’t “breaking new ground” is an idiotic statement when the original source material has yet to get representation on the big screen.
