It has been recently teased at Hascon that they are considering doing spin offs of other characters after the Bumblebee movies. I would realy like to see the spin offs for individual characters to have their own movies. It's an interesting dynamic that even the transformers cartoons are barely experimenting with. It would be a good way to develop the transformers better and build publicity and popularity to characters that aren\'t too big outside the TF community than they are with the general public. If they do go down this path (I SINCERELY HOPE THEY DO), then characters or storylines that deserve their own movies are: Optimus Prime: Yes the big O himself deserves a solo movie or a film series centering around his story, maybe his origins, what he was doing in space before arriving to Earth while he was searching for the Allspark, or how he is leading the reconstruction of cybertron after the events of The Last Knight, or even while he his on Earth learning the customs and ways of humans (although that might be a recycle of the Bumblebee movie). Optimus is a character all his own and deserves his own series because of the impact he has on the majority of every Transformers continuity, as well as enertainment media as a whole. It would be nice to see Optimus have his own series of films while being apart of the main film series (kind of like the avengers where each member appears in either one another's movies). The transformers universe is big, so there's alot to work with and dozens of fictional worlds he can appear on that are famous or prominent in the transformers franchise. Nitro Zeus and Mohawk: I'd love to see these two as a duo in a buddy-action comedy type of film where they are on the run from TRF and just causing utter chaos and talking trash the whole time, where Mohawk is the brains and the main trash talker while Nitro is the hype man/instigator and muscle. Drift: Drift is a character with great potential for his own storyline. In IDW, his origin story is both a deep path of enlightenment and an action packed story about reevaluating oneself and what you stand for. With a film franchise, that story and be redone for the big screen, either sticking to the original story with him escaping to a pacifist world of autobot scholars and monks where he meets the Circle of Light, or arriving on Earth and learning and experiencing the same or similar situation. In the comic, Lockdown is also a big part of Drift's origins, and one of his earliest enemies so that could come into play in a films series as well. There could also be a storyline where he and Crosshairs meet and they arrive on Earth together, having a similar dynamic of Samurai Jack and the Scotsman. Lockdown: Lockdown's film could be a solo anothology film that tells of how he became a bounty hunter and deserted the decepticon cause and how he was hunting transformers on earth during the days of Cemetary Wind. It could be like in Man of Steel that showed scenes of Superman's childhood while telling the main storyline in tangent to one another. NEST: Having a NEST spin off film has been thrown around for a long time, and in my opinion, would definately work. It would help build the relationship between the members of NEST and the Autobots that worked beside them. It could also bring back characters that we didn't we get to see much of and develop them in a much fairer sense such as Ratchet, Sideswipe, Dino/ Mirage, the Arcee sisters, the Wreckers, and Jolt, as well as team members who coud've possibly died before or weren't present in DOTM or ROTF such as Air Raid, Break Away, Springer, Longarm, Wreckage, etc. Sir Edmund and Cogman: Another idea floating about is a spin off centering around Sir Edmund Burton and his faithful Headmaster manservant, Cogman. A film or film series about these two would be absolutely fantastic. The chemistry these characters shared on TLK was great, and with a film series, their history could be explored as well. Storylines of their films could revolve around the two hunting down Cybertronian artifacts or constructs on Earth, or investigating Transformers related issues under the government's nose, or even be involved in Transformers related cover ups. The films would of course feature a younger Sir Edmund working alongside Cogman and building their relationship overtime as good friends while still being at each other's throats and arguing with one another onscreen. Izabella, Canopy, and Sqweeks: I know this one is skeptical but here me out. It would be a good way to make up Izabella not doing much in the film other than introduce and support Sqweeks. However, it would be a nice touch or a good anthology idea to see how she met Canopy and Sqweeks and how they had to survive in the ruins of Chicago against TRF (or Cemetary Wind depending on when it takes place), and any decepticons hiding out there, where they all learn to work together in the end. Starscream: Starscream definately deserves his own movie. The sly seeker commander does has been known to be off on his own adventures and/or operating on his own agenda while serving under Megatron or leading the decepticons while Megatron is away or dead. There is so much potential in making a movie with Starscream he parallels Bumblebee in potential. A good idea would be adapting the comic series "Reign of Starscream", which is canon to the films and told the story of Starscream becoming leader in the wake of the first Transformers film after Megatron's death in Mission City. It's such an action packed and interesting story that developed Starscream as a character and it was filled with other fan favorite characters that hadn't (or haven't) hit the big screen yet. The Lost Light: A film series about the Lost Light and its crew would be a good way to bring the IDW comics into the spotlight for those who don't read the comics or aren't in the Transformers fandom, as well as bring their storylines to the forefront as well. It could have a similar style to Guardians of the Galaxy, with a crew of well known autobots along with some newcomers exploring space searching for other autobot survivors of the Great War (instead of the Knights of Cybertron in the comics). If I were to choose a crew, I would go with Hot Rod as captain, along with Drift, Crosshairs, and Wheelie as part of the known bots while bringing in new crew members that haven't been introduced in the films already, my personal picks being Ultra Magnus, Chromedome, Rewind, and/or Nautica. The Creation of The Transformers and The Original Primes: The creation of the transformers is a favored story told throughout the various continuities. It would be nice for the films to establish a definitive creation story for transformers race as well as delve into the lore of transformers further, such as their relationship with the the Chaos Bringer himself Unicron, the establishment and expansion of cybertronian society, and of course the original transformers and their leaders, the Primes. This is another deep subject of lore within the Transformers franchise which could bring in a spiritual factor to the films that haven't been seen in the films yet, and establishing the truly large and important role the Primes have had on Cybertronian society and history, as well as tell the story of significant primes both seen on screen or not seen on screen (Optimus, Sentinel, Vector, Alpha Trion, the Fallen, and Prima). The Dinobots: The dinobots were a really long awaited team brought to the big screen but haven't got as much screen as most of the main bots. However, in what screen time they get, they the Dinobots have proven to be a force to be reckoned with, either alone or all together. It would be a awesome if the dinobots had their own film establishing the close relationship the team has like in their other incarnations, s well as establish their own individual personalities, with Grimlock being the gruff and strong yet arrogant or and slightly funny leader, Slug being the fighter/berserker and Grimlock's right hand bot, Scorn being the brains and Grimlock's opposition/skeptic (with a small joke regarding the Jurassic Park rivarly between Spinosaurus and Tyrannosaurus), and Strafe being the voice of reason and team scout. It would be an interesting and even fun dynamic with the big lugs roaming around the universe with Grimlock doing his best (or what he believes is best) for his team as they go on a journey leaving a trail of destruction wherever they go, while being slightly oblivious to what they do. It could be kind of film or series resembling the Penguins of Madagascar, with the dinobots having similar roles; Grimlock: Skipper, Scorn: Kowalski, Slug: Rico, and Strafe: Private. Those are just my ideas for any spin offs for the film series though, I really hope that Hasbro and Paramount go for at least one of those.
dinobots, wheelie and brains, the pathetic dirty foursome, isabella and sqweeks, i also have one with a lonely garbage truck TF befriending a human in the Australian outback
No copying of other continuities and it will be good! Lost Light isn't from our sand box, the same with Unicron and Primus (we have the Allspark and Creators) ,Dinobots as penguins (in the most other continuities they are like penguins, keep them fierse and mysterious) etc. I'm tired of ideas just copying other series, comics. The writers room already done it and most of us are frustrated. The Movies always bring something new, or having more subtle, not very popular ideas like Lockdown as a bounty hunter. Many other new continuities follow the Movies (Animated, Aligned), so the Movies is Transformers locomotive, for previous 10 years nothing brought so much new stuff in TFs as Movies! Keep it, please!
The disappointing thing about TLK is that it was the perfect time for origin stories about the Dinobots instead of a random group of knights we never knew existed until now.
Dinobots VS Lockdown set on the Beast Planet From Transformers Cybertron. 1st Act Beast War like conflict maybe Scourge Predacons VS Dinobots over control over planet. Truce. All Beast Formers living on Planet. Planet gets wiped out by Seed. Dinobots get captured. Lockdown recieves call from employee to go to Earth for Optimus Prime. Transformers: Rouge One.
That's the point though, it's not an issue for the filmmakers to base a movie off a particular transformers story. Marvel does it, DC does it, Transformers can too, and have just as much potential. It'll show that they recognize the source material and try to bring classic stories to life or bring elements of those stories onto the big screen. Some of these stories really would work as films (given that they know how to be handled), and I don't doubt fans would be excited to see these stories to the big screen if they are done right. And I don't see how a lot of people are frustrated about copying story elements or storylines when the majority of people ranting don't even realize that the movies' storylines are based on episodes from G1. Also, Unicron is in Transformers 5 and will be featured in later films as an antagonist. He's in our sandbox. The origin of the transformers still hasn't been entirely established with a definite continuity. Seeing how Unicron, the Creators, and the Allspark are all linked to the Transformers lore and origin story would be a rather interesting film that ties up loose ends in terms of the transformers origins and creation. And the Dinobots can still be fierce and mysterious, but still have them have a slight comedic and brotherly dynamic. They're giant, fire breathing, robot dinosaurs, who aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, it would be funny and awesome to see the dinobots do their thing, yet make little effort to "watch where they step", oblivious to the chaos they wrought as they casually make their way on their adventures. However, throughout the story, Grimlock gets more serious as a leader as he guides his teammates on their adventure as they become the fierce and powerful dinobots we all know and love.
That's an awesome idea! The Beast Planet from Transformers Cybertron was always one of my favorite aspects of the show, along with other cybertronian worlds they explored in the series. Having the storyline set in the Beast Planet would be an awesome set up for a Beast Wars film.
The more I read this forum, the more I understand how I'm happy, being not biased by TF series, Marvel and DC. Most of them are boring and ridiculous, simple and entertaining, explore childish cheap ideas, like everything in pop-culture. Of course, there are some rare exception like the Dark Knight, but they aren't numerous. Transformers Movies aren't Marvel, aren't G1 or TFP, and, although they respect source material, they are different. For 10 years, 4 films already, and this style was successful. TF5 changed it and now we have problems. Because Transformers have sufficiently different audience, than your beloved Marvel and DC. Transformers Movies are deep, scientific, atmospheric, philosophic, complicated. If you ignore it, I feel sorry for you, but it's apparent Movies' soul. And you don't understand and don't want to understand it. As 80% people here. And every day you advice something to Movies! Your script have some good ideas, but too much copy-paste from other universes, I tired of it. It looks like someone from producers had read you and now we have a disaster with TF5. This MARVELOUS formula isn't working for Transformers! Admit it. Interesting that obsession with Marvel killed Star Wars too, my second favourite Movie series. It's really a problem.
Wow just impressive ideas! I love them all except for the Nitro Zeus and Mohawk film, I hate both characters. LMAO!
Transfarmers: Optimus and Bumblebee move to a small corn farm in southern Illinois and are joined by several new farm vehicle based transfarmers.
The Marvel formula can work for Transformers. And I don't know what movie you watched but Dark Knight was incredibly boring until the Joker or Batman showed up in a scene. And really? You think the concept behind Captain America: Civil War was childish? TF5 didn't change the formula, Hasbro did, and the movie suffered for it because they wanted to fit so much in. The formula of retelling a story has been working for the Transformers film franchise for all 10 years. Each one is basically an episode or two of G1. Not only that, but TF5's storyline was more original than the movies by the way. As for a formula where the movies retell a storyline from the comics or a show, HELL YES THAT CAN WORK. It sucks that you fail to realize that the majority of the Transformers storylines from different continuities can be just as deep, scientific, atmospheric, philosophical and complicated. Hell some are over complicated. There's nothing wrong with retelling a story in a new way with new ideas, while still sticking to the core of the storyline's plot or what made the story what it was. That's what makes most Marvel movie events so good, they tell an original story while sticking to the core of what the source material was and is supposed to be. And the transformers franchise have so many stories to offer when it comes to retelling a story in an original way. And how has Star Wars been killed by Marvel? It's doing just fine.
That's only your opinion. Actually, as a defender of that film...I say yes, it actually was. Like, the entire film sets up the bad guy basically wanting to stir up shit with the Avengers by causing a bunch of chaos and forcing Bucky to do it all, to distract him from waking up more Winter Soldiers...except that's not what he did at all. His entire plan was to stir up shit, then basically lure Iron Man to the base...all to make him watch a video cassette. Simply in the hopes it would just piss him off or something. And then the bad guy tries to off himself immediately afterward. As far as bad guys go in the MCU, for a film-leading bad guy he was laughably nonsensical compared to Loki or anybody from IM3 where the one guy was a fraud and the other guy's greatest achievement was exploding botox or something. Additionally, the entire opening plot reason everybody is pissed off at the Avengers is laughably bad. Oh no, ten people died when Cap threw a bomb into the air to avoid killing exponentially more people. Nobody considers the alternative where the Avengers never took action, allowing terrorists to walk away with a biological weapon that would kill even more people. It's just as bad as the Transformers films where it's taken five films for humans to finally get a clue the Autobots aren't the bad guys. After saving all of humanity five goddamn times. Hardly. The main driving factor of TF5 was, IIRC, that stupid magic staff. How is that any different from the past few films all centered around a mcguffin of comparable world-ending power like the AllSpark/Matrix/Pillars/Seed? Potential? Yes. Reality? Not a chance in hell with the current team.
