Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

I'm guessing it was meant as a weird shoutout to James Bond, but I think he was supposed to be Wheeljack but they changed it at the last minute.

That sounds like a Bay movie .

Delayed a full year!

HWR said this was due to special effects "passes" and prep ... whatever that means? Maybe the CGI stuff needs more rendering?

If it's something like that, I'm happy to wait and get a better product in the end.

‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ Casts Pete Davidson, Michelle Yeoh

[Frontier]

Michelle Yeoh as Airazor? Awesome .

Pete Davidson as Mirage? Yeah, no ...

[Captain Craig]

Do we know where they are in production on this?
It seems something drops every few months and we are getting to a point where its is about time to offer a visual tease. Even if it is only 20 seconds.

That there is a MONKE

While The Last Knight is tied with Revenge of the Fallen for worst Transformers movie. I was hoping to see a conclusion to all the build up they did with Unicron and Quintessa.

Rise of the Beasts looks like a ride and I'm here for it!

Cool trailer, I'm excited for this.

This looks good.

Okay, a bunch of random thoughts:

- I kind of get from a scale and aesthetic perspective why the Maximals all have giant, cybernetic, beast modes, yet it still feels kind of weird when I'm so used to them being smaller and, y'know, organic. But giant Cheetor was actually kind of cool.

- Optimus' face looks worse compared to the Bay films. It just makes me wish he kept his mouthplate on the whole time, especially with that design.

- Arcee looks amazing. Like you can genuinely see where she went from her Cybertronian design in Bumblebee to her Earth design here.

- Every time they have Peter Cullen's Optimus interacting with anyone but Gary Chalk as Optimus Primal, I feel bummed out. And I love Ron Perlman, don't get me wrong.

- Mirage just jacking Hounds' hologram powers.

- Prime has the arm cannon and energy blades of the Bay era again.

- What is it with bad guys and Bumblebee's throat? Is that Scourge?

- Primals' robot mode still has the Prime face and the dual sworlds like his pre-Transmetal self.

Not much about the plot, but I'm interested.

From Primal's line about threats from the past OR future, it sure sounds like the Maximals are keeping the 'Autobot descendants from the future' plot point.

I smell time travel.

Which should make the villains, the Terrorcons, the nu-Decepticons from the future.

I think we'te about to see them Star Trek 09 or Days of Futures Past this thing.

ETA: Also, is it just me, or do we 100% see Bumblebee GET KILLED in this trailer? That seems like a big plot point to spoil. I assume he's back before the end of the film, but still.
