    I’m gonna set my expectations pretty low and expect Cheetor based on the leaks we got and prob no one else. But hey we shall see.

    Cheetor was in scale with the other cybertronians, I think he was a bit taller then Bumblebee. His alt mode was a organic cheetah form. He was aligned with the autobots for most of his time on the show.

    Sounds like a shit storms building up in Hollywood, poised to drop 3 inches of shit across the country. Hasbro does not understand their properties. It looks like they’ll piss everyone off equally this time mucking with g1 and bw. The fandom could unite once again.

    I've not really seen any comments like that quite yet, but I won't rule it out. G1 isn't the best, no, but it's certainly better than the Bay films overall, which isn't too hard to achieve but still. I'd argue there's more entries in the franchises history that are objectively better than the Bay films than there are worse ones. While I definitely can see why people like the Bay era designs and I like some of them myself, I tend to probably be one of the more critical ones in that department.

    There's good ways and bad ways to do 'different' in regards to design, and I think the Bay film designs are mostly duds, but with that said most of the design elements could easily be forgiven if the movies and characters themselves weren't so.. bad and non-existent.

    While I like movie Grimlock's beast mode his robot mode is so painfully boring and forgettable, in the film itself he's even mold colored.

    This design by Nakomake is a much better example of a design that's different while still keeping various recognizable aspects of the character.

    This is another one, different yet still keeps enough of Megatron to make him recognizable:

    Look, I'm totally willing to take shots at Hollywood and have no real love for it as an establishment, but we've really not been given any indication that this film will be shit so far. Skepticism is fine but let's try not to write it off entirely without seeing more than just a teaser quite yet.

    Let's just... wait and see, trust me if it turns out to suck I won't hesitate to say so, but we really don't know enough to say. :/

    Holy shit dude, stop. You've posted the same video like two or three different times now and most people struggle to understand what you're even attempting to put across.

    He's not the brightest tool in the shed.

    You bring up any evidence against his points and he'll ignore them and bring them up again later.

    Best thing to do when he posts again is to do this.

    You know what would be hilarious to me is if Bumblebee were reformatted into an actual bumblebee...and if Optimus Primal were reformatted into a TRUKK! Lol... Maybe do it as a minor plot point and a goof to troll the fans for a few scenes.

    I really hope they don't bungle it. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of faith. Beast Wars is quite a tricky series to redo well. The main premise of Beast Wars isn't just 'transformers who change into beasts', it's 'transformers who have travelled back in time and change into beasts'. The main charm of the series is the mix of old and new (such as the Maximals taking over the Ark), and BW Megatron's diabolical scheme to alter history. For me, the real litmus test of any Beast Wars redo is: is there time travel? No time travel = not really beast wars.

    Now, if they introduce BW characters without time travel, that might be fine. I had no objection with how Cheetor was handled in Cyberverse, for instance. He was basically just an autobot who happened to turned into a cheetah. But that can only work with a few characters, and it especially can't work with my favourite Beast Wars character of all - Megatron. Megatron's whole character is dependent on him being from the future. In addition to being a big dinosaur who goes "yesssss", his most defining characteristics are renaming himself after the original Megatron and his his grand, insane schemes, such as attempting to alter time so the Decepticons won. Both of which are very difficult to execute if the war is still ongoing and the original Megatron is still alive.

    Only seen toy/promo material for the good guys sorry. It's going to be a pretty packed film from the look of things.

    Although that's dependent on whether a lot of the stuff I've seen will be toy only and not in the film.

    We'll see I guess :)

    Ok then, thank you. I am curious to see how many BB movie autobots are back, I hope Arcee and Wheeljack are back.

    So I guess when Anthony Ramos said it will be very different this is what he meant.

    I wonder if they fused the two scripts they reported as the Bumblebee sequel and Beast Wars in one movie. I hope not, but it wouldn't be the first time. The Last Knight is the way it is cause the writer's team blended both their Operation Skyfire and Transformers Knights movies into one. Hopefully they know what they're doing this time

    They also merged the Age of Extinction sequel into those.

    I know hard deets are illegal, but am I somewhat safe in assuming the non-beast Autobots will be the Bumblebee lineup? I really want to see what vehicles they whip out for Brawn and Arcee
