elbobo Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Oh god yes those G1 designs all over my face. They even got Soundwave right, he was my favorite toy from the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Well... shit. That DOES look good. I want to see it just to see the Transformers in their G-1 forms... this is a prequel right? Takes place in the 80's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikachu Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I think Michael Bay not directing is probably why it has a chance to be good. Travis Knight directed Kubo and the Two Strings in his debut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have hope - the film is directed by Travis Knight from LAIKA, he directed Kubo and the Two Strings, which is simply a sublime movie. I have every faith this movie will be excellent unless studio/producer meddling ruins it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I adore Kubo, but we've been so wronged by these Transformers movies that it's going to take more than a one good trailer for me to expect much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdyb1 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Michael Bay has to just be producer in name and not an active producer because the fact that we have generation 1 stuff finally has to mean he's not touching anything at all. Well to me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous trailer was also good, if that helps any. I am also keeping my expectations in check, but that director is someone to watch out for.

EternallDarkness Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 given all the early trailers looked rather crappy IMO, I'll keep my expectations submarine low, that way I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's only slightly crappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Travis Knight spoke about his different direction with the film at CinemaCon. I trust him and the clip he showed looked solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Is this a reboot? I cannot recall the current Transformers “canon” all that well, but I thought most people in those movies seemed surprised that Transformers existed.

Pikachu Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 No, Bumblebee is just a standalone film within the same universe. Paramount wanted its own cinematic universe, but Last Knight flopped which scrapped those plans. Bumblebee was too far along in production to cancel it. To address your second point, Last Knight retconned that point and made the Transformers part of Earth's history. https://screenrant.com/bumblebee-movie-transformers-reboot/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexy_shapiro Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I’ve heard that after the last Transformers Paramount is now using this movie as a soft-reboot, but don’t quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Haven't liked one of these since the first one. Since then Bay has repeatedly shat on these. Glad he's not in the director's chair on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokra Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Looks good to me! The old 80s movie was the version of Transformers that I grew up with, and this has very strong vibes of that generation. Color me actually excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
