    Personally, I never expected the new movie to be marketed as a reboot (no definitive confirmation, negative connotations etc.). I imagine it will remain a grey area until they have a cool idea for a sequel. In the meantime, it shouldn't really matter. As things are, there is no solid canon, there are just Transformers movies and some are more connected than others.

    I always thought that websites jumped on "Bumblebee Storytelling Universe" too quickly, industry people often use terminology differently to how we understand it.

    I feel like the studios may never outright state it as a reboot, but if this film does well and lets the new story continue on even into 2007 and beyond, they'll just be "huh how about that" and just keep moving on.

    I will always point to his insane press piece about how 'Quintessa was human all along' specifically because he says for people to look at the lore.

    There never was, nor will there ever be, any official lore about that stupid character. I legit think he believed Quintessa actually had to already exist because the Quintessons existed...but even then the multi-face squid men have no connection to humanity whatsoever so even giving him the benefit of the doubt he's still absolutely wrong.

    He lied about non-existent franchise material in a last ditch effort to generate artificial interest so TLK wouldn't crash and burn. It failed miserably.

    For some reason the industry is allergic to the very concept of reboot, so you have to go off of literally anything that even potentially broaches the subject.

    I mean, Lorenzo got freaking CENSORED by Hasbro at one point because the man would not shut the fuck up about how Bumblebee was NOT a reboot.

    I think it's obvious at this point but...

    Remember the TF two movies that were in development; Bumblebee 2 and a Beast Wars one?

    Instead of doing one and then the other as we heard originally, this is a mash-up of the two.

    After TLK I have my doubts on this film if that's the case.

    I say just wait for a trailer and that should clear up some of the confusion.

    maybe in movie 8 the main villain of the franchise will get more than 15 minutes of screentime and a faithful adaptation, but going back to "throw concepts at the wall and see what sticks" along with "RETHINK YOUR HISTORY" after they had the makings for a good reboot in bumblebee is... a bummer.

    like, there's a lot of potential in this story, but a 4/5-faction story that introduces and crosses over with beast wars when we've barely even had a proper movie about the larger autobot-decepticon war is... odd, and the wording does make it seem like they're still writing this off a bay timeline script.

    i think our best bet is those tlk beast wars concepts in beast mode with mostly faithful robot modes, but the story's still gonna be a fuckin mess lol

    No idea, but props to the marketing team.

    They've been really nice and upfront with things. Not a lot of companies would approach fansites like this and give us an opportunity to shine along with major media outlets. This way, fans get to hear what they really want to hear like characters, how they look, what's the plot going to be etc. instead of the marketing fluff which some media outlets usually post with little to no idea on what the franchise is about.

    I'm curious, what are your thoughts on the designs shown? Do you like them? Do you think they're cool or ugly? Etc.

    I'm also curious about how the face designs look if you remember from what you saw?

    and are we gonna get bombarded with 90's songs?

    Well that leaves me hopeful, i still hope this will be a reboot, because with how Hasbro called it a new story telling universe, i know i mention Lorenzo alot, but that's because i legit thought he wasn't part of this movie

    Aahhhh so instead of one script being put on the side for now they decided to just combine the two ideas instead? Perhaps that's not a bad idea, perhaps. If that's the case then that would definitely explain why this film sounds like it has so many moving parts, because it's literally two films being fused into one.

    Hopefully they find a way to make it work.

    Are you sure? Only Joby Harold is credited for the story (with Darnell Metayer and Josh Peters writing the final screenplay).

    My impression was that Hasbro was set on some form of Beast Wars either way and were weighing different approaches. We're already seeing the marriage of Classic Transformers and Beast Wars in Cyberverse and War for Cybertron, so in that context it's not particularly jarring.
