    Considering it's an advertisement, the point is to advertise.

    Damn I'll be laughing if someone thought this was a bumblebee 2 trailer cause some of these shots do look like a film than a commercial everytime I see that one shot with bee and the girl I keep thinking charlir has grown cause she looks like a stand in the hair color and all. And who the hell said that these were used movements from the bumblebee movie

    It’s genuinely nice to see that it all ties into the movie itself, given that he’s at a vintage auto auction in the modern period. It’s great that they’d release this so long after the movie, knowing fully well that the advert is cool all the same.

    I really liked Bumblebee. But I don't want to see a "Bumblebee 2" movie. I want a large scale "Transformers" movie that picks up where Bumblebee left off.

    Great little commercial. It's cool that they actually sort of tied it into the movie. And the animation looks fantastic, I'm surprised how many transformations were in this.

    Terrible (like most ads), and yet oh so satisfying watching Bee run around. I've watched it a few times and I'm sure I'll watch it a few more.

    I think it's an insurance company (presumably with name recognition in the UK), but it took me watching BB, TMNT and Robocop to really work that out. All 3 were fun.

    Why not, maybe in Bumblebee 2 we will see blitzwing return rebuilt from Dropkick, Shatter, and himself and that would be a perfect opportunity to add multiple personalities, and Blitzwing sending a signal to the Decepticons, which the large scale Transformers takes place afterwards

    Imagine being the animator for this.

    Boss: ”hey Steve, get ready to animate bee again”

    Steve: ”wait we are already working on the next movie? Sweet!!”

    Boss: ”oh no, this is for some shitty insurance company ad”

    Steve: ”oh...”

    Not much to say really. That bumblebee model is still great.
    Hopefully the last-minute additions will get character models as good as that in the sequels

    I can only notice just one reused animation. The rest looks new to me. Out of the three commercials, Bumblebee one was the best and with the best CGI too.

    Speaking of which, the commercial did a better job at a CGI TMNT than what the two movies did. :D
