Had to do some digging through Google to find the pic. Looks like it's been simplified a little, I'd be surprised if final design looks quite like that. Remember this from Age of Extinction?



I think it's the same idea, just some less cluttered and more kid friendly art to sell toys. I'm sure the movie CG will be more gritty and detailed. The antennas have always been there, it's just a matter of how much they want to draw attention to them.

As for why he'd go from a tank to a little VW Bug: peace. Sure, there were other wars, but just like how VW distanced themselves from war machines it seems Bee literally took their lead.

UK distributor Abgee has listed some new items on their website which appear to be new figures from the upcoming film. While we don't know everything about these new items there is much speculation to be done. We know that the new Voyager Class figure for Studio Series bears the code name 'Destroyer' and that the SKU does not match any known figure. There is another item by the code name 'Stryker' which is likely a code name for the Bumblebee movie and a possible dancing DJ figure.

While there are no pictures of these items available, we shall keep our optics open for them. If you find any information on them please do let us know. For a full list of these new items please refer to the Abgee website. In the meantime there are some previously listed Bumblebee: The Movie items.

Since it's a voyager and therefor the wrong size to be the Red Car Decepticon and Stryker is probably Bumblebee this Destroyer is likely to be a different character.

Perhaps the main villain of the film? (Or maybe it's a code name for a character from a previous film could happen)

And is DJ a codename for a transformer at all or for a dancing human figure? (Can't really imagine the latter but it could happen)

[Decepticon Stryker]

Actually Stryker might be a completely separate character from Bumblebee. A Stryker is actually a form of attack vehicle that the 2007 Wreckage toy transformed into. On a side note, I have nothing to do with this.

Well the code names are not supposed to make sense, and so far Stryker seems to be Bumblebee although there's no confirmation sure based on the listings it's probably so.

The PotP leaks also contained what is now known as the Studio Series, and all figures were properly named, except for one: TF6 Stryker. Combined with leaked Japanese listings, we now know "Stryker" is the code name for Bumblebee.
Also, the Bumblebee won't be the familiar Camaro this time, as the movie is a prequel set in WWII I believe.

Nope has nothing to do with WW2, it takes place in the 80's and Bee is a Volkswagen Beetle here is an official photo with the main human of the movie. (Also box art stuff was leaked with a photo of Bee and he looks much "younger" then the other movies)



And this is the only picture we have of the Red car Decepticon from the movie, we wouldn't have known about this guy until later on since we did not see much filming photos compared to the other movies. (The guy in the photo is Travis Knight)



The red car guy wouldn't make sense as a voyager so if it's a character from the Bee film and not from a previous movie then it's a new character we have not heard about before.

Was looking on TFW005 and I saw a post from one of the news guys there who was talking about someone on 4chan who claimed to have been at Nuremberg Toy Fair 2018, while I don't completely believe the source, crazier things have happened and the original names is something the franchise has done for awhile now. (Daytrader, Nitro-Zeus, Mohawk, Reedman, Skipjack, etc)

On 4Chan there is a guy claiming to have attended Nuremberg Toy Fair 2018. Take the following info with a grain of salt. Consider them as fake until proven otherwise.

Bumblebee: The Movie
VW Bumblebee
Decepticon Decker (Red GTX)
Decepticon Scrash
Unrevealed 4th figure
Energon Igniters gimmick line is similar to Nerf Nitro/Botshots
Bee Vision mask

I'm not going to 4chan to find the post myself cause you know...it's 4chan.

(Let me know if I'm not allowed to post this or something.)

Dont worry, your allowed.

I dont believe a word of it though especially when that means tehre are more TFs in the film than the director already confirmed.

Alright thanks for the confirmation Will.

The Director himself has never said anything it was Lorenzo (Who has been known to say somethings that don't end up true like seeing Prime's and Megatron's backstory in TLK, although the number of robots is kinda a different subject)

He specifically said it would only star 4 robots, not that there would only be 4 robots, say there was a cameo of Optimus at the beginning or/and ending of the film that would mean he did not start in the movie.

http://deadline.com/2017/10/china-trans ... 202191402/

So the amount of figures on that list does sort of align with the statement there is Bumblebee, at least two Decepticons being the red car and then presumably this "Destroyer" character since a voyager is too big to be a car, then there is the fourth star which is likely a con. (I honestly think that the only other Autobot that could be in this film Besides Bee and the confirmed role of Peter Cullen who might or might not be Prime is Hot Rod since he has that whole being Bumblebee's brother in arms from the past that TLK established or there could be another Autobot that is killed at the start to show a threat like how Ratchet and Canopy did)

[william-james88]

We have an update on a list we previously published of listings which did not have images or descriptions.

TRA ACTION ATTACKER 20 AST
TRA ACTION ATTACKER 30
TRA ACTION ATTACKER 15 AST
TRA ACTION ATTACKER 8 AST

These Action Attackers turned out to be the entire Cyberverse line, with the numbers being the confirmed price points. You can find out more about that particular line, here.

The previous listings also had Project Storm which we now know to be the codename for the Authentics line:

Transformers Generations
TRA GEN PROJECT STORM (?)

TRA GEN PROJECT STORM 10 (?)

With that said, we have new Action Attacker listings below. These are different than the previous ones and are probably for the Bumblebee Live Action film. Which means that, as with the Cyberverse line, the Bumblebee Movie line will be full of action gimicks.

E1886 Action Attackers Battle

E1907 Action Attackers Costanza

E1906 Action Attackers Bania

E3522 Action Attackers One Step

Along with these new listings were the following which also seem to be for the Bumblebee movie line:

E2093 Energon Ignitors Radar (TF Fan Nevermore informs us that "Radar" was previously used as Optimus Prime's code name)

E0753 Energon Ignitor Blue Light

E0752 Hot Rod Power Series

E0759 Bumblebee Power Series

And two Masterpiece listings which may or may not be for toys we already know are coming.

E0705 Masterpiece Autobot

E0835 Masterpiece Bumblebee

All of these listings were found on www.srbrinquedo.pt and we were made aware of them by TF Fan Nevermore.

[Deadput]

So there is a chance for new Hot Rod merchandise which also means a chance he is in the Bumblebee movie.

Makes sense he is the one other Autobot that makes sense to be in the movie besides a new character considering the two were on Earth working together during World War 2 they had to have separated at some point so maybe the movie could show that.

UK toy distributor ABGee had already proved itself useful as a news source for upcoming Transformers toys for the Bumblebee spin-off movie due in cinemas this December (initially in June), and it looks like they may be useful again! Though not much is actually new here, we get a tidbit about the voice change masks, as they appear to have a number of characters listed and not just Bumblebee (much like for Transformers: The Last Knight's case) - and we have UK pricing in pounds for each of the items listed below! Just for your convenience, at the time of writing £1 GBP = $1.40 USD.

Take a look below, let us know if anything catches your eye, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub forums!

We have been asked by Hasbro to remove this news. It will be reuploaded once official material is out.

Thank you for understanding.

[Ig89ninja]

I get the feeling that the Bluetooth comparability will be so you can play songs like bumblebee used to talk

[griftimus prime]

maybe botcon and hascon for the figures.

[Emerje]

First official thing is a decapitated Bumblebee head. Great start.

maybe botcon and hascon for the figures.

BotCon no longer exists and there wont be a Hascon until 2019. Figures will probably be teased over the coming months and then fully revealed at SDCC.

The mask itself looks nice.

It looks basically like every other Bumblebee mask they've made in the past decade or so. Not an easy thing to get excited over.

Nobody living on Earth right now is surprised there's a new Bumblebee mask coming for this movie, we're talking about the annoying trend of the masks being the first official thing shown.

Previous listings for the Bumblebee Movie toyline included toys labeled as Energon Igniters. We had no images, no description and no indication as to which characters would even be in the toyline. Was it just going to be a ton of Bumblebee toys on the shelves? Well, now we know better. Listings for these Energon Igniter toys have been found on Amazon India and we finally get an idea as to what the gimmick is. But better yet, we know that that toyline won't just be made up of Bumblebee.

Of course, Bumblebee will be there, but the listings also include Barricade, Hot Rod and none other than Megatron. What is super cool is that the listing states that this Megatron toy turns into a tank. This does not mean that there will be a tank Megatron in the Bumblebee movie but at least it lets us know that there will be a tank Megatron on the shelves, in this subline.

Regarding this subline, the revealed gimmick is very similar to the All Spark gimmick from Transformers: The Last Knight since the descriptions state that a device which does not come included with the toy must be plugged in. The listings also state the amount of steps involved with each toy. And lastly, we see that some characters are for different lines within this Energon Igniter Subline. For instance, Megatron is part of the Power Series while Barricade is part of the Speed series.

Here are all the descriptions:

Megatron

I still hold on to my belief that Hot Rod is the most likely other Autobot to be in the Bee film besides a cameo from Prime.

The toy listings show that he is at least a character in mind with the toyline.

Course some of these could be toyline filler like how it used to be back in the first 3 movies...except this time it's for a gimmick line with previous movie characters.
