This sounds amazing!

 

Nice to know that megatron won't be in it save him for a big baddy

 

I now have hopes for Scourge origins film

 

MOVIE FRANCHISE: blank OF THE blank

 

So with how Scourge is described I'd imagine he'd be a combination of all 3 major Scourges design-wise.

 

PEAK FICTION

 

This is gonna the Transformers-iest Transformers Movie we are gonna get. They're putting ALL the chips on the table with this one.

 

And now what I'll be interested to see is if the Beast Wars characters are the same size as the animals they transform into or G1 style giant bots.

 

I'm extremely confused based on the newest information. Nightbird is a Nissan GT-R which I'm fucking hype as fuck about because we FINALLY get some good Japanese cars, but she's a Terrorcon?

Where the hell are the Decepticons? Unless the movie is going to try and play this as the Decepticons still don't know where the hell Blitzwing, Shatter, and Dropkick ended up, let alone the Autobots in general until the end of the film, are we seriously going to get another film without Decepticons? Because I don't want another Age of Excrement.

Either that or the old standby " [FRANCHISE]: The Search for More Money"

 

So I guess we can disregard the 4chan leak. Also scourge is the movie! FREAKING SCOURGE! I honestly expected TFA s4 to come out before scourge was even going to be considered. Also I really hope that mark hamill plays him.

 

Looks like Lorenzo is playing it safe just incase the film bombs and theres no sequel theyll just say its apart of bayverse

 

Oh look it’s that guy that always says something bad for whatever new thing too look cool.

 

A little confused as I'm reading several articles hitting the wire. Is this a sequel to Bumblebee or is this set in the Bayverse?

 

Sequel to bumblebee

 

Ugh. Well they done fucked up after a good setup. Oh well, guess I'm not surprised.

 

Idk, I kinda see it, but i kinda dont.

 

I think they might want it to go either way? Depending on how people like this one or not? The fact there's no mention of Decepticons and the whole "Optimus becoming the leader we meet in the future films" is kinda strange...

 

cybertron scourge, energon arcee, g1 optimus, offroad bee, "bayverse" themed nightbird
dude im FUCKED up, i am so hyped

 

Alright, let me collect all the information in one place:
- The next film will be titled: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
- Predacons, Terrorcons, Maximals are in the film
- A lot of elements and characters not shown before will feature in this film
- Terrorcons are a "new" threat to the universe
- Predacons will be more "reptilian in nature"
- Predacons are the "natural enemy of the Maximals"
- Terrorcons and Predacons are NOT allies
- The Terrorcons are a danger to *everyone*
- "Rise of the Beasts" was originally set in 1994
- Tried to avoid the timeline of the Bay films. '94 had "great music" and Caple Jr. loved that era. Caple Jr.: "There's a certain energy to that era..."
- Terminator 2 being cited as an inspiration for the film
- New York City will be one of the settings of the film
- Brooklyn will be the main setting
- In heavy contrast, Peru will be another setting for the film. This was done on location. NYC is mostly sets
- Filmed in Machu Picchu, a rarity for films.
- di Bonaventura: "The Incan traditions reflect on the movie...and how they affected the storyline..."
- Combining ancient stories and "modern" stories in these films is a key focus.
- Optimus Prime will be the main character in the film. His Bumblebee Movie form will be updated to be more G1.
- Caple Jr. "We ARE going G1 with Optimus Prime."
- di Bonaventura: the film will show how Optimus Prime becomes the leader we met in the films set in the future. (I'm assuming he means future films in the rebooted universe?)
- OP is new to Earth, so he doesn't have a connection to it yet. He grows into a protector of Earth in this film.
- di Bonaventura: This film allows us to get under the "stoicism" shown in previous films. Peter Cullen will be voicing him again!
- Bumblebee will be an off-road version of the classic Camaro with large tires and a rack of lights on top.
- Mirage will be a Porche 911 in the film
- Mirage vehicle mode concept art is silver and blue. He's an "outlaw" who stirs up trouble and anti-authority.
- Arcee will be in the film! Very G1-esque design but appears to turn into a motorcycle.
- Definite shades of "Energon" Arcee.
- Arcee transforms into a Ducati 916.
- Nightbird! She looks like a Bay version of the G1 cartoon character. Transforms into a Nissan GTR. Has a sword and blade weapons in her arm with a "hood" head design. Right hand of the main villain.
- Nightbird has "switched sides" and is now a Terrorcon.
- Nightbird is dark grey/silver and purple.
- Scourge is one of the main villains. Giant claw hands, smokestacks in the back, pointed shoulder armor and helmet. Very "Beast Hunters" Predacon looking. Leader of the Terrorcons. Prideful and "collects" Autobots and Maximals as trophies.
- Scourge takes insignias of his kills and welds them to his own body.
- First BW reveal is Airazor! Showing bird mode. Mechanical looking, not super organic. Very nurturing character who can be fierce. Design is "rustic" and "aged".
- The Maximals are "ancient" and have been around.
- RHINOX: Brains and muscle of the group. Looks like a rhino with giant metal plates running down his body. Beast mode looks FIERCE. No robot mode pic.
- Caple Jr. mentioned "organic" but not sure if that means they're techno-organic.
- OPTIMUS PRIMAL: Looks like the BW concept art shown online years ago for "The Last Knight" BUT this concept art definitely has fur on it!
- Primal has wisdom and is the fatherly figure of the Maximals. He takes care of his own.
- Fishback: Playing Elena(sp?) a researcher studying artifacts. Her boss keeps taking credit for her work.
- Ramos: Plays Noah who lives with his family in Brooklyn. "Father figure" to his brother and all about taking care of his family. Ex-military and came back home trying to find his way to live with his mom and brother.
- Ramos: Always hustling. Can fix anything with electronics.
- Ramos: Loves his tenacity and heart and will to never quit in spite of all the crazy things life has thrown at him.
- Ramos: Introduced to TFs via Beast Wars!
- Ramos: Caple Jr. asked him what his goals were for the film. He said he wants to bring heart to the character. "Why do we need humans?"
- Caple Jr.: A lot of thought has to be put into every phase of the film even down to choosing locations that can accommodate giant robots (like, you can't have trees where one will be standing).
- Caple Jr is a fan so as he saw concept art he was excited and felt fans would be excited too.
- Caple Jr.: "There are characters you have not seen yet."
- Caple Jr.: It was a challenge to bring the Maximals onto the big screen. Didn't want them to be cheesy. Wanted them to be able to look like they could hide out in this world.
- di Bonaventura: Mentions "hide or fur" as important components of the Maximal designs.
- di Bonaventura: Bumblebee Movie was a conscious choice to be a smaller, character-focused film. This film is going to call back more to the original Bay films in scale.
- Caple Jr.: Wants to put together a journey where you walk away feeling good and applauding he wants to make the audience care and feel something.
- Caple Jr.: "Spectacle and character."
- di Bonaventura: Has a soft spot for Ironhide as a character because that was his son's favorite.
- Caple Jr.: His favorite character is in "Rise of the Beasts" and has not been revealed yet!
- Quote from the person tweeting the info: Based on what I've seen "Rise of the Beasts" is going to be a killer toy line.

 

The movie hasn't even come out yet, Do we really need such negativity?
