And so waves of cool transformers prime and transformers generations figures shall be cancelled to make way for the all new camero bumblebee! (that will never EVER leave for the next 3 years)
Cant wait! hope they will transistion to the Unicron/galvatron and or quintenssions tthat whole 3 to 4th season of g1 characters!!!!! Please BAY have those in this trilogy!
All it was and still is is Leader bumblebee and deluxe bumblebee everywhere my local dollar stores cannot even get rid of all the bumblebees for 5 bucks
Yuck. New Bay trilogy? I just want him to do tf4 and then get some new blood on it. I want to see a different take on big transforming alien metal beings.
As for the actor...I thought this was already known and discussed. Guess if we believe the word 'trilogy' isn't a typo then the big news is we get 3 more movies, not 1 or 2. Yay.
More flashy computer animation and hopefully some more good toys. that's all the good i can hope to see out of this. i have no doubt the next three movies will just be more of the same, if they make enough money to actually make all 3 that is. people might just burn out on it.
Looks like the only hope of any sort of change is for the films to eventually fail and the live action franchise to sit on the studio shelves for a while. Really not looking forward to shelves full of Bumblebee and Prime. Almost as fun as the crazy theories by people about all the wonderful stuff we will get because of the live action movies but I still haven't seen a deluxe Generations Blitzwing so I'm still waiting on this grand mythical pay off.
I've never really liked Bays take on The Transformers Mythology but Bays films have rejuvenated the Franchise. If there is one good thing that's come out of The Bay Era of Transformers its been Transformers Prime. Now as for the Film Series itself I think that its a great idea to do a jump forward in time and introduce a new set of human characters to interact with the Cybertronian cast from the 1st Series.
To be fair I think that has more to do with the fact that tripple-changers are a pain in the ass to design. Probably even more so with the state of things lately. I mean would you really want to see a Blitzwing engineered on the same level of the recent Generation toys? And people thought Universe Tankor was bad...
I was quite happy with that toy. Although it's not a character I had any great demands for. For all the money that flowed in from the movies, Hasbro haven't channeled it into anything particularly risky that wouldn't have been possible pre-movie. If anything they got a taste for it and went for the quick buck more than ever. Pointless repaints and exclusives. Leader Bumblebees and Ultimate Bumblebees. Debatably at the expense of more exciting opportunities like ROTF Devastator and Animated Omega Supreme. Don't look to Hasbro for anything challenging like headmasters or combiners or truck+trailer figures like Ultra Magnus. Certainly don't expect them to give such a project the effort it deserves. Not that I expect them to, but this is what Ash was getting at. The movies haven't enabled Hasbro to make our dreams come true here, as some might seem to suggest. They can get products on shelves, which is good. But it's something they've been consistently able to manage in the past.
Go with the ROTF version of Optimus Prime... It is the best toy from the movie-verse. I believe if you want to go fancy go with that then also buy the FWI-3 Jet Power Upgrade Kit (Fans Want It FWI-3 Jet Power Upgrade Kit Prototype Photos - Transformers News - TFW2005) The DOTM was terrible other than the trailer at the back, i returned mine a few days after buying it.
A whole trilogy?! Imagine the toys! That's decided, aside from Masterpiece, no more toy buying until next year!
What kind of News do you expect? a) HotShot, Wheeljack and Trailbreaker Voiceactors casted? - Yeah, reveal the story... b) Shooting there and there for fights Between optimus and Cyclonus - Reveal more Story c) Whe plan to kill Cyclonus, Optimus, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Hot shot - YEAH reveal the HOLE Story Is this what you expect? Dude he's only able to post HUMAN-Casts, cause TF does not exist! Look at similar movies -> Pacific Rim, Skyline, Battle Field L.A. etc... all the Same, the CGI-Cast is NEVER revealed in those movies!
I personally doubt that Michael will dedicate the next 6-7 years of his life and career doing more TF movies. More likely he'll only produce (that's why he said "we"). And if he directs the whole trilogy then I guess he'll shoot another movies between the episodes as he did with P&G. Also with the news of a new trilogy the possibility of shooting back to back TF5 and TF6 is pretty big now.
I just wish that we had a large list of characters that some what reminded you of their tv show versions the hollywood glitz versions really take away from the iconic nature of these guys. I watch movies like the avengers as an example and love the nostaligic feel of how the characters are just updated versions of the same character. Why the hell cant we have that. Wheel jack was not updated he was an abomination and as was devastator. They crap on all the things that made transformers so great and likeable. I mean they FUCKED up SOUNDWAVE I mean seriously how do you not get his character right let alone the voice. A voice that would have been perfect for the movie. Please dear good interviene and stop these travesties or at least have someone change the films altogether. Joss Whedon save us ?
