    I hope they do a movie on a character that got a little-to-no screen time in the Bayverse like Longarm or Jazz.

    I want to see G1 Powerglide, Cosmos, Hotrod or a Dog friending Thundercracker movie...After the Optimus Prime Movie.

    Honestly when you move away from Micheal Bay's trash, you find dozens of characters with movies waiting to be made.

    A soft-reboot is something which takes place in the existing continuity but establishes new characters and settings. The Force Awakens is a great example of a soft-reboot because it takes place in the same continuity as the previous Star Wars films but mainly revolves around the new characters, with the older characters playing more of a supporting role.

    If the Bumblebee film ends up being a reset of the continuity then it would be a full reboot.

    I’m surprised we’re finding the news about the voice casting so late and that there is no hint of this in the trailer. Unless there have been some serious misdirects or rewrites (both of which would be concerning) presumably poor Bee is losing his voice, possibly in the fight with Blitzwing?

    G1 is not just an 80s cartoon. Infuriating when people suggest that.

    Yes it’s an “aesthetic” and we all get that, but I don’t think that’s what he was saying. The person he quoted was suggesting that since Bee came to earth before the other autobots that it erased the whole “autobot -ark” origin which has barely even been used besides G1 and then the Bay films finally used imagery in THE FIFTH FILM AND LAST of that horrendous run to even suggest a crashed ship into the side of a mountain. And even then they made them look like humanoid knights.

    Why can’t people accept the fact that we are finally getting the transformers movie that we should have gotten from the get-go? I understand that there are TONS of people on here now that grew up with the Bay films, but MOST that were around when the designs for the first film surfaced were PISSED because nearly NO ONE looked like they should. I was initially OK with some of them, but CHRIST...they didn’t even use original colors for a lot of them. And later on used said colors for bots that never even looked like that because they finally found a way to make “red” work on the big screen. You’re an idiot, Bay. You’ve done so much for this franchise, yet also divided and confused so many....
