If these turn out to be real set pictures I'm absolutely loving the cars. I hope we get some really nice figures of these, it'd make a welcome change from the mostly modern cars we've been getting - maybe we can get Bee's original form in the first movie remade if we're especially lucky! That one and High Octane are honestly my favorite Bumblebee forms.

With the film being set in the 80's, I'd like for the soundtrack to reflect that. Get us some classic 80's tunes and music spread all throughout this film.

I'm curious if there's gonna be one! A week after The Last Knight I was thinking "huh...this movie didn't have a soundtrack...that's weird"
It probably will though. Hopefully if it does it does what Guardians of the Galaxy did which picked good music that matched scenes and tone and not Suicide Squad which just tossed songs in.

After onslaught was announced and people started going nuts saying Bruticus is coming let's not start looking at cars and screaming who we want them to be this time. It just leads to more disappointment than anything.

A Guardians of the Galaxy style soundtrack would actually be awesome if this movie is more character-based -- just a bunch of songs from the 80s which, as you said; reflect mood and tone. Usually I'd think this is asking too much of a Transformers movie but hey, new creative team; let's friggin' go.
And yeah, best not look at alt-modes and names and think we're gonna get an update of an old beloved character. The movies tend to just take those alt-modes and names and not care about who they were originally assigned to -- which I'd usually be annoyed about for an adaption but given that this franchise has been doing that since G2 even, it's just kind of something you get used to. Even characters who are supposed to be updates of their namesakes - Starscream, Bumblebee, Drift - aren't exactly like said namesakes beyond superficial traits. So I'm fully expecting this red car to be Bumblebee's comic relief and tech expert friend Streetwise, with an uptight commanding officer who turns into a jet called Trailbreaker.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but this being an 80's movie would be the perfect place to finally include any songs by Stan Bush. Lord knows the guy's been trying get his music into these live action films for years now. Just sayin'.

This, PLEASE!
I actually have very high hopes for this movie. The setting has a lot of potential, and doing something smaller and more character-driven in the time period the Transformers originally debuted in? So much potential. Just one thing: I thought this was going to be animated. Is that no longer the case?

The Cybertron/lore-based prequel movie was confirmed to be the animated one.

When's that again?
Some time after the Bumblebee movie's release.

Ah, okay. Honestly, that's a good thing. Bumblebee's premise would work better live-action, in my opinion. Hoping we can also get a better run-time this time around, as well.
Okay, so people are hoping the red Chevelle is Cliffjumper. Which I instantly want to reply, "HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM THESE FILMS?? Bee, Optimus, and Megatron are the only G1 inspired Cybertronians. Soundwave is not a blue bank truck, Jazz is not a porsche 911 martini, and Ironhide is not a red SUV. GET USED TO IT!!"
Then I stop and think, "Wait, all of this is a spin off... that means, everything is starting new! Cliffjumper CAN be a red muscle car, and Sunstreaker CAN be a yellow Countach! Why should Marvel be the only Franchise allowed to have original inspired characters? Why CAN'T the Transformers look like the G1 style??"
Now some things are a little TOO Unrealistic, such as Hot Rod, but Cliffjumper? Mirage? Brawn? YESSSSSS!!!
I am getting really excited for this now! At least we don't have to wait another 3 years.

How about something original?
God forbid the movie continue to use their aesthetic.
(Most G1 designs would not work without major changes and people would still complain then)
If the movies had a good design aesthetic (not wanting G1) I wouldn't mind. Instead we have designs that look like a cutlery drawer stood up. And, I'm not saying make it G1, I meant the style of actually making the robots easily recognisable instead of a mess of parts. Combine the real world look with the Transformers Prime aesthetic and it would be perfect. The Autobots are fairly easy to recognize in the movies but the Decepticons are just a mess on the screen. Look at Dark of the Moon, when Optimus does that run taking down Decepticons, besides Optimus, who was on the screen? Shockwave of course, but who else?
To throw the bayverse a bone, I actually did like Megatron in The Last Knight. He actually had a good design instead of the millions of shards look that he had in previous movies. Also version 1 Optimus Prime was good, but version 2 is just ugly.

Remember 90 percent of you fans wanted new director for transformers and bay not involved in any way so if 90 percent of you people don't like this solo movie that bay has no work with on this one who and will you fans blame if you don't like this solo movie that bay have no involvement in what so ever as I have been saying you don't like look of bots don't watch movie new director doesn't always mean movie will be better as also I have been saying for years new director for batman movie look batnippleson Robin costume .,
If you fans think who do not like live action movies now you never will like live action movies with new director that does not have bay involved so give up on cartoon looking bots that you want them to look more cartoon and comic book and carrot it or move on bots will never change to look more cartoon style that trikeboy wants you want cartoon comic book looking bots stick with watching cartoons and reading comics accept change move on.
Did fans want batman wear underwear over his costume when they watched Keaton batman movie some might but they accepted change for what it is and loved movie without batman wearing underwear over his costume can't accept transformers look more realistic what we have now in movies you never will learn accept new look of new bots move on from it you don't control how bots look people who work on movies do look at transformers fan art you see more realistic movie designs fan art than you do in transformers cartoon boring blocky mess live action lego movie that's one way describe g1 looking blocky bots in live action universe
We should jump on it just because it isn't Michael Bay? Why? That logic is flawed. If Uwe Boll was making the Bumblebee movie would we all be expected to rally round and expect something fantastic? He isn't Michael Bay, lets give him support.
