I know it’s bumblebee movie but put new characters in calendar to much bumblebee blitz wing , soundwave, prime, barricade, the other triple changer decpticons names I care less if I remember that hunt after bumblebee in movie
I'd have loved it if it had actual scenes from the film for pictures instead of the usual promo artwork. There are some wonderful scenes that would make beautiful calendar pictures in the trailer alone such as when BB & Charlie are looking at the bridge, the sunset type poster picture, Charlie with BB as the beetle to name a few...
NBE 2 is what S7 calls him. It stands for "Non-biological entity 2" as in the second one they know of on Earth(Megatron is NBE 1, also referred to as "The iceman" because of him being sealed in ice/frozen). It has never been Bee's name. B-127 is his actual name, like a production code for machines, where Bumblebee is his codename/nickname. Like how Animated covered this aspect of where Autobots get their second name in the academy to become named what we know them as. It's the difference between a birth name and the name your friends call you, or a gaming handle, or military call sign etc. Prime referring to Bee by his original name is much like a parent referring to a child by their "proper name." Which in a way also relates back to that kind of parental dynamic and proper persona Prime has.
Yeah, and you can see where there's a wheel rather than the jet turbines on the shoulders. I don't think that's what Blunderzag meant. He was saying that the fact they're Sector 7 are in the movie and they're still using NBE2 to refer to him makes the movie less of a soft reboot (I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with that) due to the obvious connections to the first movie. Nothing to do with what his actual name is.
That's all well known, but that's not what I was talking about. If bee is MBE2 then that means Megatron is frozen on earth as MBE1. Which makes a reboot come into question
NBE = Non biological entity. Not MBE. It's not a reboot. It's a prequel. It's a reboot in tone because it's before all the events of other movies. They've been telling us that from Day 1. The script pitch literally came out of the same writer's room as TLK, but Akiva wrote TLK, and Christina Hodson wrote Bumblebee. Bay directed TLK, and Travis Knight directed Bumblebee. The trailers and advertising have even been saying "Where bumblebee's adventure began." John Cena's character was outright stated to be a Sector 7 agent too. Though whether or not it may have an end credits stinger or otherwise classic throwback ending is anyone's guess. But we'll have to wait and see when the movie is released how much is changed or not from the movie universe. That was the point in setting the movie 20 years before TF2007. It leaves room to tell stories to build up to that point. Megatron being NBE-1 has become borderline a lore staple overall though. Same as how his removing Bumblebee's voice box is now. So much of the lore is likely going to contain similar Animated/TF2007 implementations in different ways. Speaking of, kind of makes you wonder why in Cyberverse the only times we hear of Megatron have been in flashbacks too. Even the modern seekers on earth haven't mentioned reporting in to him.
