    In case you missed it, Bumblebee was announced as a "new storytelling universe" today. (AKA reboot)

    With Hasbro being the one's with the main creative control now, what characters do you guys think we'll be seeing now in the upcoming movies?

    How about Movieverse 2.0.? Simple and easy to remember.

    I'd like to see Overlord and for him to be built up the way Thanos was.

    People say that all the characters that people want to see are dead already in the previous iteration.I wonder if they ever saw comments like this one.

    Based on the characters Hasbro's been pushing in media outside the comics, I suspect we'll see more of Ratchet, new G1-ish versions of Grimlock (who'd probably actually talk this time) and Drift, probably Windblade at some point, and maybe Blurr.

    Hopefully not in the "Me Grimlock" style; that sucked.

    I suspect he'd probably speak more conventionally, like more recent Grimlocks (Cyberverse and RID'15).

    Yeah; privately, I'm hoping they get someone like Jason Momoa to do the voice. He'd be badass.

    Not probably going to happen, but Armada Red Alert, Hot Shot, and Smokescreen.
    Armada Starscream, Demolishor, and Cyclonus.

    I'd like to see Optimus. Maybe Jazz and Ironhide too.

    I think Starscream is pretty much a given. It seems like he shows up in the cartoons over and over because there are different ways to do everyone's favorite coward at heart little back stabber.

    Fingers crossed for Soundwave. Since Bumblebee had him working with his minions again I'd love to see him in the movies again with his own small force of minions.

    For the Autobots, I suspect we will see Ratchet, Arcee, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Jazz, Grimlock, and Hot Rod within the next few installments. For the Decepticons, I'm guessing we'll see Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave (and some of his minions), Shockwave, and Barricade. I think that instead of throwing a ton of new characters into one movie they should space it out between installments, giving the audience time to learn who the individual characters are.

    Hoping for a cast of mostly major players (Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz) with a few obscure characters and a few all-new characters sprinkled in. I'm also kind of hoping human characters are new (like Charlie). I wouldn't really care to see adaptations of any existing characters from the cartoons.

    I dunno, it's a bit on the whimsical side but Lord Chumley would be absolutely hilarious as a game hunter trying to hunt down robot aliens with enough munitions to arm a small army. And he doesn't really care which faction he hunts so he's an annoyance to Autobots and Decepticons.

    Let's hope they make more solo movies first like Optimus, Megatron, Ironhide, Jazz, Ratchet, Starscream, Shockwave and Soundwave before having a Transformers film. They could do it like Avengers style. Or maybe continue their journey on Earth after Bumblebee.

    I’m hoping for more original characters. I loved robots like Blackout, Barricade, the Dreads, Crosshairs, Stinger, Cogman, Nitro Zeus, Shatter, and Dropkick.

    With Hasbro homogenising the brand to just 1984 G1 fanwank + Windblade with Cyberverse I’m worried we’re experiencing a drop in creativity in the franchise.

    I'd like to see what Marvel did. Centering the build-up with one big bad, until the assemble movie. Here's the list of the villain that I hope gonna be built-up throughout the series:

    1. Megatron (of course)
    2. The Fallen
    3. Overlord
    4. Unicron
    5. Tarn
