    I'm cautiously optimistic. I hated the Prime Wars trilogy so I hope its nothing like that. Fortunately, the vibe I'm get from the trailer is War of Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron video game cut scenes which were enjoyable and an aesthetic I liked.

    One thing I really hope they don’t do is that they don’t shove politics down our throats like making characters gay for no reason at all like no one ever wants to see bumblebee make out with sideswipe

    Given how the show only has six 22 minute episodes, I doubt they'll pull a move like this.

    I hope the show is good. Thankfully, there's only 18 days to go, and not long to find out.

    That would be my biggest gripe with IDW. To me it just felt out of the blue.

    Yeah, how dare they put politics in our Transformers. They need to just keep it about 2 opposing factions who have diametrically opposed views about how to deal with the future of their planet, which leads to war. Not political at all. Keep those politics out of here. No politics in sight.

    (LGBTQ people existing isn't political. They just exist and deserve to see themselves in stories just like straight people do--and don't bring up any "There's no romance in the show at all!" Optimus and Elita clearly have a romance in the first trailer. Frankly, I'm proud to support a brand that has worked to include many diverse kinds of voices).

    True, but making Ratchet, Drift, Chromedome, Rewind like that made 0 sense to me.

    Optibotimus is clearly violating his NDAs.

    They already announced the voice of Bumblebee. It's not a state secret. Also, here's the officially announced voice cast:

    Jake Foushee (Optimus Prime), Jason Marnocha (Megatron), Linsay Rousseau (Elita-1), Joe Zieja (Bumblebee), Frank Todaro (Starscream), Rafael Goldstein (Ratchet), Keith Silverstein (Jetfire), Todd Haberkorn (Shockwave, Red Alert), Edward Bosco (Ultra Magnus, Soundwave), Bill Rogers (Wheeljack), Sophia Isabella (Arcee), Brook Chalmers (Impactor), Shawn Hawkins (Mirage), Kaiser Johnson (Ironhide), Miles Luna (Teletraan I, Cliffjumper) and Mark Whitten (Sideswipe, Skywarp).

    Seems like he's being pretty good about Keeling quiet. Might be time to stay off the boards for a few weeks though.

    NDAs for television and movies often allow people to tease what they have seen in order to drum up hype. This isn't anything new. He hasn't revealed or spoiled anything significant ahead of the embargo.

    I don't know the details of this specific embargo, but I work closely with them in the entertainment industry and what I described earlier is pretty standard.

    If you looked at the thing he posted, it states that he can not put a reviww or even TALK about it until the 27th.

    So have I. And I've also seen a lot of people break or not follow clear embargoes without incident, which is unfair.

    First, i haven't said anything that violates anything. I've said that i've seen it, nothing beyond that...even avoiding saying how long episodes are. Nothing in my documents say i can NOT mention that i was allowed to see it. Literally, that isn't discussed at all. Just that i have to with hold my official review until the 27th and that even in the review, there are a few things i am not allowed to mention. Again...NOTHING in my emails from Netflix says that i could NOT mention that i was allowed to watch it. The end

    Completely understandable. We get those in video game review embargo all the time. Some say we can't even mention we have the game (last of us 2) and others don't care.

    But one thing you mentioned is kinda cool. July 27th. Three days before the show airs people can share their thoughts. Usually confidence in a product allows reviews before it's launch. It's a little different for netflix because if you have the service, you can watch it or not (they still get paid). But still. Hopefully it's a sign of confidence on their part.

    Gay people exist whether homophobes like it or not. Our existence is not a political statement.
    I hope Bee and Sideswipe make out and go after Optimus and Elita's marriage just to piss off people with that mentality. :lol 
    Anyway, if we ever get gay characters I hope they're done well. I'm tired of gay roles in media being reduced to stereotypes or this:

    [​IMG]

    Ok?

    Thank you!

    Let's just leave it at this because I've seen how homophobic some people on this site can get I don't want this thread to go back down that road.
