Transformers 5: The Last Knight Bumblebee revealed!

Looks like an atypical and almost recognizable design for Bumblebee from his previous incarnations in the Bayverse at least. I wonder if they're going to change his look again for his solo movie. Gotta sell those toys.

I cant tell if he is that different from first glance. Looks like a movie bumblebee model like all the others, to me.

Between the first three films and AOE they changed the design quite a bit. This one looks to be a combination of the two. In AOE all of his parts were fitted very close to each other and streamlined to look very organic, or at least not like an identifiable car. The big difference, here, is the chest piece which is more identifiable as a car bumper split in two like his original designs. The other thing is that the face mask is basically the one from AOE.

Personally, I'd like for them to go more classic and vehicle like with all of these designs, since it's still hard to tell what they actually turn into. Crosshair and Megatron especially. I also really, really, really despise the transformations in the 4th movie where the decepticons just explode into bits and reform. So, I hope they put the kabosh on that.

Well, they really went back some to his first trilogy design, even got the door wings back. I did really like the AoE design and I'm a bit sad they went backwards from it. But at least he has the wings again, I like those

I personally never see much of a difference between the movie Bumblebees, at least not in robot mode. I can see the differences in Optimus; AoE was a design overhaul for him, but... Bumblebee? I'm not denying there's changes, I just don't really see them.

Wow, fumblebee is every kind of underwhelming, I honestly couldn't tell if this was a new design or not without images of his other forms sitting in front of me (I can at least tell that it isn't the newer aoe version, that one was at least cool looking)

I really have to ask, what's the point of turning him into Galvatron in AOE if they were going to turn him back in TLK? Doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of Megatron becoming Galvatron? Hell, his last line in the previous film was "I am reborn", thus implying that he's still Galvatron. Not helped by the fact that, in general, I don't care for the redesign. The whole knight aesthetic may have worked for Prime and the Dinobots, but not for the ruthless and maniacal overlord with a cannon on his arm who is bent on destroying all who stands in his way. And I really don't like the horn thing going on with his helmet; retracted, it makes him look like a goat, but deployed, he just looks like the Dreads from DOTM, who look like the Predator. In short, this doesn't make sense contextually and doesn't work from a design stand-point.

It's the battle mask he had in AOE.

I can tell it much more on Optimus.

At the very least people can tell his chest is different with each movie right?


I think story wise Bumblebee keeps upgrading his disguise because he is a vain character remember when he went and scanned a new car mode after Mikela called him a piece of crap?

His chest was different between ROTF and DOTM?

I dont think people can tell that easily. Could you tell which movie this bee is from for instance?

That one's either from the first one or ROTF. I don't know the differences between his chest in the first one and ROTF, but I do know that in DOTM, his chest was compacted a tiny bit and had two arm/bar/lever things going across the bottom of the two car front half boob things. That's far from a technical description, but they are fairly obvious if you compare the two. The difference between the first 3 movies' Bumblebee and AOE Bumblebee are way more obvious, of course.
