I was wondering what to do with that figure once I finally get PotP Blitzwing...

 

What are you quietly referring to?

 

Seems like there's a super blurry and tiny glimpse of an Arcee in one of the possible Wheeljack images. Screw everything, I want a close look and toy of that. The ROTF and TF1 versions were such a waste.

Kind of curious if they will give Jackie here some hints of Que? Bumblebee movie Optimus looks nothing like Bay Optimus, so I doubt it. Think that Que might have been fudged around at the last minute to be a different character than Wheeljack, anyway.

 

I don't like Wheeljack

 

....this could be Jackie

 

So, should we be referring to these G1-style characters as Knightformers? They're not really Bayformers.

 

Sorry but it will take more than a slapstick to make me believe them after 11 years of let downs. I will admit I was hair edge excited when I saw them trailers, but I wont fall for it. IF & when I see the movie in my home and If I like, I will go to the theater to support it.

 

You don't like Wheeljack?! You and I are mortal enemies now..

 

"Blitzwing"

 

It is a rare moment that we have to agree in there.

Though we all know why exactly that was done.

 

Dude, the "geewunners"are paying the bills for the bayverse fan. After the tlk ultrabomba, idk if Hasbro wants the bayformers only fan as a top customers, here.

 

It's called easter egg

 

This wouldn't be a bad way to repurpose Cloud Starscream into a CHUG movie Blitzing.

That's Arcee next to him all right. Really want to see a closer look at her.

 

The Knights of Cybertron.

 

I don't, why?

 

Ehhh Nope! The Bayverse don't need the G1 fans help, I think it was the other way around though.

 

I would say BIOMEC is probably more on the money. Those movie years, even with TLK, still outdo the non-movie years in terms of product sales to vendors by Hasbro.

Titans Return, though, was a very good seller and possibly helped TLK's movie year out more than we know.

But the idea here is that if you infuse G1 into the movieverse, you'll float all boats. We shall see...

 

Yes, tell this at box office  

 

Or, ya know... Transformers... because it looks like that's what they'll finally be.   * just being cheeky - no one get all defensive

Anyway...

I've been wondering if this new smattering of umpteen G1 looking characters now showing up is going to sort of backfire on this movie. As in, will people still really enjoy watching this baby-ised version of Bumblebee running around with a teenage girl for 2 hrs when/after they see this otherwise giant G1 cast? Like, look at the hype that's happened as a reference point: ALL we're talking about is Prime looking like Prime, Shockwave looking like Shockwave, Wheeljack might be in there, holy shit the Seekers are colored AND there's multiples of them, Soundwave looks like Soundwave AND he just ejected a cassette looking Ravage that attacks Prime, what could Megatron look like?, Cybertron actually looks great now, etc etc etc. Not one of us has really talked about, let alone shown any excitement, about any new footage of what this movie is actually about: Bee and Hailee Whats-her-name. This G1 tease could really overshadow everything else if they don't play their cards right.

Not saying that's a good or bad thing - I don't care either way - just an observation I've been having over these past few days of practically EVERY discussion happening since the new trailer.
