    They will certainly lose money if they produce a film on Beast Wars, and if the box office numbers and ratings mean anything, then a Bumblebee sequel will as well. What they should do is the sequel to TLK. There are fans out there who appreciate and like those films, and want to see them continue.

    So you cite ratings and box office numbers, then say they should do a TLK sequel?

    TLK bombed. Worse, it almost irreparably tarnished the brand and is the reason the live action films are in limbo now. One of the chief reasons Bumblebee under-performed (despite still being a critical and financial success given its budget and release window) was because TLK damaged the brand so badly. It’s why Bumblebee was hastily retooled into a reboot instead of a Prequel, because everyone hated TLK that much.

    I guarantee you there’s more fans out there who want either Beast Wars or a Bumblebee sequel than a follow up to TLK.

    While i understand what your saying you realize that the Unfortunate passing of Keiji Fujiwara the japanese voice actor for the show doesnt have anything to do with nor does it affect them casting someone else to try and get his new voice exactly like the old one.

    If box office numbers and critic ratings mean anything, they will lose even more money if they make the TLK sequel.

    While there are fans of Bayformers, there are also fans of the Cats movie. Just how many?

    Why would Dinobot's Japanese voice actor reprise his role for an American movie anyway?

    Wouldn't the logical choice be Scott McNeil?

    Is it official this will be a Beast Wars movie?

    EDIT: Nevermind, I just read the first post.

    Very excited for this! Beast wars is my favorite so I look forward to seeing it on the big screen. I am wondering how they\'ll go about doing it, and how everyone will look. I\'m optimistic about this one!

    Yes. I like accurate toys too.
    I hope it is beast wars. I love me some beast robots. Though I will admit that I haven't seen the bumblebee movie so I am being a bit one sided.

    Why?
    Well that is good to know. I still would like the Beast Wars to be made first.

    They need a good writing team for Beast Wars. Characters from the original cartoon will have to get the axe in favor of a modern setting, because they gotsta have them humans, and characters like Rattrap and Inferno just won't make sense, and I'm sure they'll keep the robots in disguise narrative.

    I said before that realistic looking animal transformations could look gruesome, but with the right animators it could also look bad ass. That's all that matters. Does it look cool? It's not going to be the primitive animation from the cartoon, so if they make a cool looking movie that isn't all kinds of stupid like the first live action films, it should surely make money. Even with the steady decline, those movies still made bank.

    Using this analogy as a base:

    If BW was a woman, she would have been my first time.

    As long as they keep forcing Bumblebee on us, I'm not interested. The franchise is called TRANSFORMERS not Bumblebee. The franchise was never about 1 character. I don't understand why they feel the need to focus the entire franchise around 1 character. But I don't like it at all.

    Bumblebee is not TRANSFORMERS
    Snake Eyes is not GI JOE
    Wolverine is not X-MEN

    These are franchises about teams. Not single characters. They don't pull this shit with TMNT or Fantastic 4. Imagine if they only focused on Donatello & pushed the other 3 to the rear. Or if they only focused on The Thing & ignored the rest of the team.

    They killed off Jazz when he could have easily been repaired. My favorite Autobot wheeljack never even appeared in any of the movies (Q is not Wheeljack, don't insult me like that). But I had to suffer through 6 movies shoving Bumblebee in my face. I'll come back when they stop that, which will be NEVER.

    I think they do this because it is easier to follow one character. That way they don't have to explain who everyone is.

    Yeah, if Hasbro is planning what I think they are (a cinematic universe of sorts) then the movies where all the Autobots are present will be called “Transformers” while the rest would be character based names.

    Technically Wheeljack was in Bumblebee, though it was a very small cameo

    Well, yeah, I forgot about that because it was only a split second. When ALL of those Autobots should have went to Earth in the Ark.

    That's another thing I hate, in order to focus strictly on Bumblebee they totally changed the entire origin story. Was it really necessary? Why can't they just let people who like Bumblebee like Bumblebee without forcing him on everybody?

    My favorite ninja turtle has always been Michelangelo. But if your favorite is one of the others that's cool too. I don't want to force Michelangelo on you. There is no benefit to do so. The other 3 are awesome too! So I wish Hasbro would stop forcing Bumblebee & Snake Eyes on us constantly.

    If they make a M.A.S.K. or Micronauts movie I wonder which character they'll ram down our throats? Probably Bruce Sato because his mask kinda looks like Bumblebee. And I'm sure he'll be played by a black girl too.:rolleyes:
