    I’m wondering what Scorponok will look like. And if there will be any more Predacons besides him in the movie.

    Maybe Skullcruncher (who has two mainline toys!) might be in the film. TFwiki says he is a Maximal but there is no proof of him being one, other than combining with Primal.

    It's the 7th TF film, so it's best to just have fun watching it and expect nothing. I doubt it'll be anything close to BB film.

    Based on the enemy designs so far I bet Scorponok is going to be a Bayverse nightmare design, I can only hope thats not the case but after seeing the "Freezers" I have very very little faith.

    I figure the Scorpinocks will use a similar design philosophy to the other Beast Wars characters in the film. Large panels and solid looking builds with a withered technorganic vibe. Especially since the leaks describe them as being significantly tougher than the more frail Terrorcon zombies. Having them be smooth bulky bruisers would really solidify the difference and sell them as an ancient and dangerous army of warriors.

    Just look at this absolute tank to get an idea of what we could end up with:

    That’s a warrior right there.

    I bet it ends up being a skinny metal orgy of awfulness.

    According to final shots of the trailer, Wheeljack is definitely supposed to be one of the major characters.
    8CD3D12B-51D6-4925-B5E3-1406E45D3CCB.jpeg
    This is the closest full body of Wheeljack so far. The big glasses are barely noticeable.

    Wheeljack is running behind Optimus Primal. They really don’t want us viewers to have a clear look on Wheeljack, especially the front in general.

    Here we get to see one of Wheeljack’s arms and door wing. He looks like he’s going to be one of those vintage skinny robot. Like a taller, lankier BBM Bumblebee. Nothing like the mainline figure.

    A very clear shot of WJ’s shoulder and door wing.

    12FFCC6A-B4D5-4646-9C3C-75B30E9D8924.jpeg
    His arm can turn into a cannon, similar to Bumblebee.

    In conclusion, I think the current WJ head design can work with a body like that, but I am also happy to hear his head is getting a new design.

    I mean, nothing has been confirmed yet, there is a chance he still has the "Nerd" head.
    Would be nice if they added the ears tho.

    I doubt actual skorponok will make an appearance. They’ll just call the generic faceless army skorponok and they’ll all be stick figures that don’t even turn into scorpions.

    Where did this come from dude, what a shame you have such low expectations. I at least expect cool Transformers Scenes.

    Having low expectations is a good thing, that way you get surprised with the final product (I had low expectations for Kingdom, and ended up liking it a lot).
    But I can tell you right now, even if ROTB isn't a huge hit, I think it's still going to be better than all of the bay movies.

    The nerdy head actually fit the movie cgi body I have seen so far from the trailer. Maybe it still needs a bit more refinement.

    It is mostly mainline deluxe WJ figure’s fault. The toy is inaccurate, and its head sculpt is ugly with those oversized lips.

    Yeah i sure was having low expectations until now too, but then new trailer came out, they fixed cgi, rumors tell they don't have a lot of Human characters or scenes and now this with Wheeljack... they really want this to succeed, plus the director is smart person he can make great movie if he wants to. This type of director could fight with Paramount and still make a good movie, beside all of stupid crap Paramount wants him to do. This guy isn't Knight, but I believe that he is much better than Bay who just wanted to sell studio's toys and earn themselves a lot of money from cool action and stupid "made up in 5 minutes before beginning of the production" story.

    Improved. I wouldn’t really use the word fixed just yet while they continue to have prime’s shoulders clipping through everything and the dude stepping out of mirage looking like he inflates.


    at least someone liked Kingdom. I went in with very low expectations and was still disappointed. :(

    Considering the fact that all the Maximals look like a previous version of themselves, I'm sure Scorponock will be recognisble, he even has a studio series listing so he's gonna have two propre modes.

    Why would I want to wait until it get released if I don't like it from the beginning?

    I'd rather not chance MY money for something like "BUT YOU MIGHT LIKE IT". If I ends up still not liking it (or even hate it more), would you refund my money? No? then don't say "WAIT UNTIL THE MOVIE IS ACTUALLY RELEASED TO SEE THESE NEW DESIGNS IN ACTION".

    People are free on what they dislike. I don't force anyone to not wait for the movie now, do I? :D

    Can't force people to like something they don't. Perfect example is Sonic the fan backlash made that movie better had that gone to theaters it likely would have bombed off look alone. Wheeljacks face makes no sense in context of the franchise and as a sequel to Bumblebee of course people are going to be upset when they saw a great version of the character in Bumblebee and then get Urklebot in the sequel that doesn't rep the character whatsoever. No ones complaining about Arcee or Bumblebee for good reason. The thing that is setting people off is we had the franchise turned around from disaster from Bumblebee and now people are seeing issues from Bayverse that caused its demise starting to creep back in.

    I still hope they fix that door wing. That writing isn't on his front door in English or Spanish. The basic logic of it doesn't work. I just hope the CGI models get a little better.
