Sure, but hopefully a few have personalities. I am personally optimistic for this film.
They also need to have
likable personalities.
All five Autobots in AOE, for instance, had personality, but it was the same one: "Murder-obsessed jerk".
There were differences. Bumblebee and Hound were far more empathetic to humans than Crosshairs who didn't care.
Optimus felt like he was betrayed and was fed up of this world Ala Tommy Wiseau.
That film had more personalities than any of the other films.
And Drift didn't seem either murder obsessed or a jerk
He did go all stabby stabby at that one alien who just startled him in Lockdown's ship.
At least you remember something he did. By contrast I watched DOTM twice and can't say what the wreckers did in that movie at all.
But guys, let's be frank, we turned a new leaf with the Bumblebee film. I highly doubt we will go back to the mindless inconsequential bots we got from the Bay era if the presentation the movie makers held on this film is any indication.
Then again, I did think of something. There are parts of the final act of The Last Knight where there are only 2 humans (Mark and Laura). Other characters like Isabella are in different shots, and the entire army team is on their base (along with buster Bluth). So we are going between lots of humans and lots of terrible jokes even though the central component of that scene only has 2 humans.
BUT once again, I am 100% certain this movie will be better than The Last Knight.
