    I could easily imagine them killing off two of the Autobots at the beginning or even off screen to “show the stakes”

    They already did with AoE and TLK. Canopy in particular was such a non-character whose sole purpose was to be an expendable redshirt.

    They did that in Bumblebee too with Cliffjumper, though that also was continuing the tradition of murdering poor Cliff at the beginning of every continuity.

    That role could belong to Bumblebee if dies again in this film.

    He's getting the 'Optimus Prime' death because there's no way he's staying dead by the end of the film.

    At this point I’m just tired of them killing off characters. But of course it is a war and you need causal ties.

    I don't mind them killing off characters. I just don't want them to get revived. If you're going to kill a character, keep them dead, otherwise, it makes everyone invincible.

    Exactly! You may as well say Prowl is the new Kenny of this series due to him dying three times.

    They didn't have to make him a VW again, but there are plenty of other muscle cars and Camaros they could have made him. Considering there's a 5 or 6 year gap between Bumblebee and this, they could have started him off as a different model of Camaro or an entirely different type of muscle car with a similar vibe.

    I know people have laughed about the air freshener, but I do think it's telling. I could be mistaken, but I don't think he has it at the end of 2018 movie. Meaning his design has become more faithful to the '07 movie between films.

    And before anyone says "it's just an air freshener, it doesn't mean anything", keep in mind that everything in a movie...even a silly prop...was put there by the filmmakers. If the filmmakers want to get away from the Bayverse, why are they pushing Bumblebee's design closer to the Bayverse instead of farther away? That goes beyond just making Bumblebee a muscle car for recognizability.

    I'm not saying they're lying, just saying I don't think time travel will be used to reset the timeline or anything like that. I think it'll just be exposition that homages Beast Wars. Maybe a quick flashback scene of them going through a portal.

    I mean, we're talking about a series that has three different origins for the Transformers. And retcons when the Transformers got here in each movie. This series has never really payed attention to tight continuity.

    And with the WW2 thing, they can always justify it by saying Burton was incorrect. Which is actually supported in-universe by Bumblebee not seeming to remember any of that.

    Paramount hasn’t cared enough about continuity with the Bay films. The movies contradict each other so much. I don’t think even retconning them will help things out.

    While true, Bay had elaborate, expensive, and seemingly greatly important sets and CGI assets utterly wasted on the most trivial, forgettable things. Someone printing out a new air freshener as a nod to the first film is hardly an example of stringent continuity. TLK didn't even bother explaining how Galvatron became Megatron again, the air freshener means nothing. :lol

    4 years? Bumblebee has been a constant focus since the 2007 film.
