So Arcee's going to be red and white instead of pink and white...Wheeljack is a bus ?

I love how the Decepticon car has purple tires .

I hope they do the multi-verse thing ala No Way Home and bring back characters from the older films like Sam, Mikeala, Carly, Tessa, Vivanne, Isabella, etc

Technically speaking, it's the second film from the rebooted continuity that began with Bumblebee.

I wouldn't count on it.

we'll see.

Bumblebee missed an opportunity to open with a variant of the 1987 Paramount logo given it was set in 1988 (when the studio was owned by Gulf+Western).

This logo was still use in 1994, the year of "Rise of the Beasts"'s setting and the year what had become Paramount Communications was acquired by Viacom, who didn't put their name on the Paramount logo until February 1995.

I'm actually surprised by how traditional Primal looks. It looks like they're even giving him his mouthplate .

God, is the Michael Bay movie really 15 years old…

Unicron rumored to be the big bad.

Unicron rumored to be the big bad.

I figured he would show up at some point, but this...doesn't really feel like the film for him with everything else going on .

 

[Dantheman]

Two things I'd like to comment on:

1. They're actually using Unicron as the big bad, even though producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been on record as stating his dislike of the character? Expect him to be drastically different from the '86 movie and other versions if that's the case.

2, Are they still pretending Bumblebee and this movie are prequels to the Michael Bay movies? I don't think anybody would be that upset if they use them as a "soft reboot" of the franchise.
