    Like the Michael Bay Transformers films would archive footage for example.
    And Beast Wars as a painting foreshadowing the film
    And Cybertron as a painting foreshadowing the animated Cybertron movie

    Who is painting these and why? That's probably the weirdest possible way to set up a sequel.

    What does any of this even have to do with the OP?

    Considering how anyone but MCU seems to done it right, I kinda doubt it.

    (And Monsterverse, maybe)

    And isn't Invisible Man a movie of its own and doesn't in any way related to the blender mess that is Dark Universe's The Mummy?

    So do you even have a point, or are you saying randonm stuff for the hell of it?

    Ever heard of a little thing called 'headcanon'? We fans should know the term by now.

    And also introduce an original character called the golden Knight
    what I want the golden knight look like is the generation one version of Bumblebee by robot mode
    Neither of the Autobots and Decepticons could stand that character neither can Primus but the only hope against Unicron

    A headcanon doesn't make Invisible Man related to Dark Universe's The Mummy, unless officially stated.

    I do have a point and have explained it several times. Good day.

    You claimed that the Bayformer films are "well-written coherent and tied-together", right?

    That sounds completely backwards to me.

    Considering the fact that the movie doesn't have Tom Cruise running around, or naked mummy, or Jekyll and Hyde...

    There's really contradicting thing there, compared to The Mummy.

    Any time the movies are criticized somehow the topic becomes about something that isn't Transformers. Weird, that.

    Nor is there a Charles Dance vampire in the Mummy.
    Nor is there an Iron Man flying about in the first Thor or Captain America film.
    So yeah.
    It doesn't have to be explicit. Just common sense.
    I guess so.

    But anyways, yeah, just make good movies. That's my answer/common sense.

    This. Whilst there's certainly credit in the idea of, say, a Spiderverse-style movie with all the Bumblebees, or a multiverse-spanning epic Transformers film in the style of His Dark Materials, it's ridiculous to say that that's what we should get immediately.

    Again, you still haven't clarified precisely what you mean; on the one hand, you're saying that you want a shared Transformers universe, on the other hand, you seem to want films to explore different film universes.

    We've had three announced Transformers movies, none of which seem to be in set in the same universe; one of these is probably the Bumblebee follow-up that's been talked about. the other is the Beast Wars movie and the third is the Josh Cooley film (the one which seems like it's the most likely to be released any time soon).

    Now, I think that's totally fine - better to do that than copy Marvel and fail. The idea of different TF movie universes, doing different things for different audiences - the animated movie for younger kids, the Bumblebee movie series for 8-12-year-olds and the Beast Wars film for older fans - is a good idea.

    You do know what an analogy is, don't you?

    Somebody wasn't paying attention to the fact Tony's father; Howard Stark, was the one who gave Captain America his shield. And Iron Man 2 came out before CA: TFA and in that film one of the random pieces of junk Tony uses to build up a support for part of his laser forge? A prototype Captain America shield.

    Yup. And there's a reference to Tony Stark in Thor.

    A Transformers/GI Joe crossover film (possibly set in the Bumblebee continuity) is certainly a viable proposition, but a whole Hasbro Cinematic Universe (as @Rodimal Rodimus seems to want) is going to be very difficult to pull off. They don't have a good history.

    Yeah, it's like Cap got his shield totally not from someone named HOWARD STARK.

    There's also the fact that IM2 literally ends with Coulson finding Mjolnir...

    The keyword is 'implicit/explicit'.

    How is it that some of the people keep missing some of my points.
    There doesn't have to be a big direct crossover movie or two, just implied links and references at best, like what the above folks brought up.
    Also, what do you mean by 'don't have a good history'?

    So what is the "Implicit/Explicit" of supposedly anything that makes Invisible Man a part of Dark Universe?
