    I think I've finally solved the Beeverse and ROTB Film Trilogy theory!

    Basically, in this theory, I think Bumblebee The Movie is basically supposed to be a "better" version of the 2007 film. Then ROTB comes in, and it's got very similar elements to ROTF (@Autobot Burnout did show the similarities in his post).

    So it looks like ROTB is intended to be a "better" version of ROTF: a clearer plot, no racist stereotype character (I still think Skids and Mudflap situation is debatable whether they are intended to be racist or not), a villain that can better rival Prime and Prime himself not dying but instead one of his allies dies. This theory is supported by the fact that a ROTF game character, Stratosphere, will appear in cameos.

    Well I can explain it: They used a few lightweight cars as a placeholder for Scourge's altmode during the filming of the Brooklyn scenes. These cars would later be replaced with CGI for Scourge's truck mode to appear.
    Due to unfinished CGI in the test screening, the cars weren't replaced by the CGI truck model yet.

    I mean, I don't really understand the point you're trying to make.

    Yes, it has similar plot points to ROTF, and possibly other Bayverse movies as well - but that doesn't mean it will be just as bad. You can create and have good movies even if they take inspiration from or are heavily based on lower quality films. It's all about execution. And after BB, I have just enough faith in Paramount that they can deliver a solid TF movie that isn't filled with crappy and sexual Bay humor, stupid humans with their irrelevant plotlines, and other various unneeded filth.

    I can sort of see this, that this is a rebooted bayverse - given they're still trying to bring in Unicron as a Thanos character, the prevalence of the Bayverse style faction emblems which the only purpose of doing this would be to try and stay close to that aesthetic when Bumblebee made a point of not using those logos, and the lack of giving the Deceticons any kind of respect in a major blockbuster.

    Exactly, we know they did a whole set up to have Prime plow that Scourge truck through a brick wall...is that scene not even in the movie anymore?

    I'm pretty sure the Reddit leaker also said there's more than three Terrorcons in the film. Maybe he was referring to Freezer and the generic Terrorcon army soldiers.

    (I'll be honest tho I would like to see a Terrorcon Cyclonus engage in aerial combat with Airazor.)

    Nightbird seems to be the flier of the group.

    Same. I was hoping the Terrorcon line up would be Scourge, Battletrap, Nightbird, Cyclonus, and Sideways. Sideways definitely isn’t happening but it would be cool if there was still a chance of a completely CGI aerial Terrorcon appearing in the film.

    Look I'm not just going to write the whole movie off but the main reason I like the transformers is the designs and based on what I'm seeing so far this just looks like the bayverse all over again, visually at least. I'm also not one of those people who says G1 is the be all end all I don't care if there's a new design as long as it's not worse then the original. This version of Scourge just looks so generic and bland. Even the RID 2001 version which was pretty much just a black OP recolor still looked way more unique and cool then this metal nightmare. To me at least if you like these designs more power too you but I just can't get behind them especially Scourge and Wheeljack.

    That "ugly Wheeljack dating Arcee" complaint is the shallowest possible thing I have ever read on these boards.

    Crazy how that relationship was planned even before the the franchise kicked off, when the 86’ movie was being made

    On the subject of continuity in just beginning to see both the Bayverse and Knightverse that started with Bumblebee as two different universe yet belong in the same type of continuity family tajt has similar concepts and ideas but otherwise go in different directions similar to how both the G1 Sunbow show and G1 marvel comics are different universe from each other by still technically count as being variants of the same general idea at the time. May not be the best conclusion but all the same it solves a lot of headaches and really if paramount t just went ahead and just say both the bay and rebooted transformers movie are just variants of each other it’ll do a lot to put to bed the whole confusion once and for all

    You and I remember that period very differently.

    I mainly remember people being absolutely shocked at the realization that, yes, the movies they had so fanatically liked not only could fail, but also had in fact been shit the entire time.

    The only people laughing were those who had called the movie being shit before release and had been proven right.
