    I wonder if any other Transformers stuff will find it’s way onto Paramount+, might give some incentive to give it a shot.

    they only have movie rights. Not TV rights. Similar to how Sony only has rights to spider-man in movies only and Disney has rights to the shows.

    Damn... what’s it to take to get more Transformers shows on a streaming service?

    Well there are three currently. Netflix and Tubitv and YouTube pretty much have almost every transformers show

    I'm hoping they have the Big Screen Edition/Imax of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I can never watch the theatrical version of the forest fight, and it's not available anywhere on streaming (Amazon, HBO Max, VUDU), although I have it on Blu Ray and DVD.
    I assume all six live action films will be on there. Revenge of the Fallen was recently taken off HBO Max maybe this is why?
    If they make a N.E.S.T. animated or live action show I might add Paramount+ to the list of streaming services I'm paying for (HBO Max, Disney +, Amazon Prime, Netflix).

    usually when a movie leaves it’s just because their license is up. That’s why certain Disney films are not on Disney+. They still have a license with other streaming services. That’s why it took nearly a year and half for all the Disney owned and produced MCU films to end up there and there are still films waiting to be added. It’s not really a thing “oh take off our movies because we’re starting a service of our own” but more “your agreement and license is coming up we’re not going to renew”

    Every streaming service that exists makes all streaming services less relevant.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount ends up making exclusive TF shows on there that's set in the new movie universe established by Bumblebee.

    they only have theatrical rights to make movies They don’t have tv rights and that includes streaming services to make new content. That’s why shows like the Netflix series exist. I’ll use this example again, Sony has the rights to only make spider-man movies. They can’t make spin off shows from their movies and that’s why they don’t. It’s the same thing here. Paramount which I’ll also point out is only a co-producer of the movies only has film rights meaning they can only do movies of the transformers they can’t make shows.

    That is if Hasbro extends the licensing agreement. The current one ends in November 2022.

    Keeping up on different streaming companies is getting more difficult than keeping up on what shops are getting exclusive toys.

    Its getting to the point where someone should really consider making a service that bundles a bunch of these programs by category, puts them in order, maybe by number or letter, preferably number, and offers them as a package where these programs are rotating throughout the day and you can choose to watch or record them.

    As someone who barely gets a chance to watch TV, that sounds like recreating the Cable experience.... $100 per month, no thanks, I'm fine with Disney and Amazon Prime.

    same. Only Disney+ and YouTube premium for me. Not to mention we kinda already did have that at one point. It was OG Netflix streaming. Sure it didn’t have everything but it had most things that were popular and trending and then all these stupid studios and companies said “umm...we’re just getting a flat licensing fee. We can just make our own!” And that’s where it all became over saturated and continuing to do so.

    I was basically talking about cable. At some point there has to be some consolidation (or flat out losers in this industry). I don't watch a lot of TV, but the only streaming service I would really consider at this point is Disney+. Stayed a weekend at my sisters, couldn't find anything on Netflix that even looked halfway intriguing, but now there just seems to be so many out there where content is getting spread pretty thin. Maybe if major cable providers weren't so terrible we wouldn't have needed this.

    Streaming sure was nice for a few years there until all the companies got greedy and decided they wanted their own. I didn't buy cbs and I'm not going to buy paramount. We've got netflix, disney+, and Amazon prime, and we use my in-laws' hulu. Only reason we got disney was to share with my in-laws cuz they were sharing hulu and Amazon video just came with prime shipping. Not getting any more services no matter what's on them. Still got my Blu-ray and DVD collection and I guess it's not going anywhere.

    Cbs really pissed me off: Star trek discovery was a Netflix show everywhere except the US and Picard was an Amazon show outside the US. Those services funded the shows but the deal cbs made was they get exclusive rights in the US.

    This might never happen but I kind of hope that they make animated adaptations of the comics such as: last stand of the wreckers, all hail megatron, target 2006, sins of the wreckers, autocracy, the reign of starscream, etc. for this streaming service.
