    I'm going to echo what people have already said. Give me designs like those Bumblebee, Prime, and the Seekers in Bumblebee—basically designs that take the best of both G1 and complexity of the previous designs. I honestly just want the characters to actually look like who they represent more than anything. I don't mind if take some creative liberty here or there. For example, Prime's design in Bumblebee did just that and I loved it.

    They had a contract with Paramount that they had to show Bumblebee as a Camaro even if it was just for a minute and I believe it expired this year. As long as Paramount doesn't renew the contract, they have no obligation to feature GM cars. The fact that they sold all of the Camaros from the movies recently may mean they're moving on from GM.

    Apparently, GM will stop making Camaros anyways?

    They could stop produce camaros, but i believe they will use another vehicles from GM.

    They're not bad, is Bay fault they've a bad reputation.

    Well that’s true but they sold the camaros they had and the contract is over until it’s renewed.

    I prefer the Bay designs with more alt mode parts.

    Yeah, that's probably why I like it, the cleaner silhouette compared to most bayverse designs though I wouldn't mind if they incorporated tires somewhere

    No Bay designs please stick with the original Transformers design, I never want a 10 year block of characters I cannot recognize again.

    I don't see the overly Bay-ish designs coming back. I don't think we'll see any more of the overly partsy, somewhat lanky designs of the first few movies. I'm sure the Bay influence will continue to hang around though, like it did in Bumblebee.

    Personally, I'm hoping they keep some of the influence. I like the complex transformations, the built-in weapons, stuff like that. I also hope they keep Bumblebee's bee-like face. I think going from that adorable face to a G1-like face with a mouth and horns would be really jarring. They could push it a little closer to G1 (I wouldn't mind the headlights being moved to the feet, or the shoulders, with the taillights on the feet), but I hope Bumblebee (or the other characters, honestly) doesn't become straight up Evergreen. I like a bit of newness mixed with the classic look.

    It would be interesting to see some cool new design ideas, not necessarily bay designs. However some bumblebee designs were really bad so I wouldnt come back to those.

    No. Bayverse is dead.

    Personally, while the designs in Bumblebee were definitely an improvement, I'd also say a cinematic version of designs from The Transformers Alternators line might work. . .

    I liked the Bumblebee designs much better. Not totally for being more G1, but less of a metal sliver/part gangbang.

    I love the Bay movie designs, but they should stay unique to this series.

    I honestly love the Bayformers aesthetic. I have no problem with continuing it. I also wouldn’t mind doing something closer to WFC/FOC.
