It's cool see these character getting a nod,even if they aren't confirmed as of yet to be part of the main story.

I'm hoping we can get an live action Beast Megatron.

Someone remove the number from the title. The Beeverse films aren't part of the Bayverse numbering any more than the Kelvin-timeline Star Trek films would be part of the Classic Trek film numbering.

It's still used officially by Hasbro, so unless they tell me otherwise, I won't assume anything else. The Bay films weren't numbered in the titles and had no internal continuity, so this seventh film is no different.

I'm so going to use that!

Despite this, I still believe that they can salvage the Unicron storyline from TF:TLK if they play the Beast Wars right. My idea would be that the Beasts discover Unicron is in fact the core of the planet (as it looks in that movie, a la TF Prime) and somehow manage to subdue him...until the events of TLK awaken him, then they can create a subsequent line from there dealing with his reawakening. If time travel is involved in this movie, then they can retcon everything wiping out the Bayverse entirely...but since Unicron is a being that exists outside the normal universe a time reset wouldn't necessarily affect him.

So, has anyone found the beasts described in the article? I'm having trouble with Megatron and Airazor, and I'm not 100% sure on Rattrap.

A couple of posters on TFW2005 have theories (their words clipped directly from the linked posts):
12 o’ clock - Gorilla - Optimus Primal

1 o’ clock - Pterosaur - Terrorsaur

2 o’ clock - Wing of a Falcon(?) (Obscured by Logo) - Airrazor

4 o’ clock - Tarantula - Tarantulas / Tarantula or Black Widow (half hourglass in abdomen)

5 o’ clock - Either a Rat or Wasp - Rattrap or Waspinator / Rat for sure - Rattrap

6 o’ clock - Possibly a Snake - Quickstrike / Dinosaur - Megatron

7 o’ clock - Fish or Bird(?) (I cannot tell, all I can see is some vague fins or wings) / Fish(?) or Bird(?) or Rhino(?) (Can't tell either, perhaps those fins/wings are horns?)

8 o’ clock - Scorpion - Scorponok

10 o’ clock - Cheetah - Cheetor

11 o’ clock - Velociraptor - Dinobot

The transformers in the seven o'clock position remains a big mistery.

While we saw some toys already, we actually have our first piece of non toy merchandise for Transformers 7 Rise of the Beasts. It is a school folder with one side being a clearer shot of that Inca styled art with various beasts and the other side being Optimus Prime. It's basically the same look he had in the Bumblebee film but at least we get a very clear shot here.

This was found on the Russian shopping site WildBerries.

[TulioDude]

Sweet!
Also,this confirms that he mystyerious figure in the circle is Rhinox.

I picked up the MP version of Bumblebee/Movie Optimus, and unless these movie 7 figures have something really awesome up their sleeves, I see no need to get any of them. I've got Legacy Motormaster to save up for, so I doubt I'll have room for any more Bayverse style figures in this year's budget .

[william-james88]

rattrap is in the art and he isn't confirmed to be in the movie.

[TulioDude]

*as a main character.

I doubt any beast will be a main character

Bonus points for the movie if they manage to tie Scorponok with the Predacons.


Day 844 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Paramount had a big presentation today for theatre executives only. It included a sizzle reel showing clips of Dungeons & Dragons, Mission Impossible and Transformers Rise of the Beasts. Here is a description of what was shown:

No Beasts were shown. Instead people saw Optimus, Bumblebee and Arcee. Arcee is said to look like G1 Arcee, Optimus is said to look like he did in the Bumblebee movie and Bumblebee looks like Bayverse Bumblebee (same car mode, same face, same visual cues). The footage shows Arcee hanging on the the side of a moving car as she is about to take shots with her gun. No Dialogue was utterred, it was only 12 seconds of shots across.

This description was lifted from The John Campea Show which discussed first hand what the group saw.



Usually, if a trailer is shown at an event, then it will likely be shown in a week or two to the public BUT if it is a sizzle reel like the one described, then it will not be made available for anyone else to see, ever.

I never liked John Campea, he always came off as the kind of movie guy I wanted to avoid of late.

It won't.

It would't had made any sense regardless.

I agree that he doesn't get the minutia, but that proves that Paramount and Hasbro are still referencing enough of the older movies aesthetic for fans of those films to not be disoriented and still recognize that version of the character as something they are familiar with. Though we don't even know at this point if they even saw Bumblebee in robot mode.

I’ve always kind of had the impression that he’s not well liked in the LA film critic scene.

As is the case with almost every pop culture movie, the first look at new designs and characters is through the merchandise and Transformers 7 Rise of the Beasts (ROTB) is no different. Thanks to some slipper boots and pajamas, we have our first look at the Bumblebee design from ROTB. Of course we don't know how different it will look in the final film but this is the design Hasbro gave companies that licensed their brand for film related products. The look is very much a mix of what we saw in the Bumblebee film mixed with elements from the first Michael Bay film, going hand in hand with the statements of the director that his movie is a bridge between the different films, at least stylistically. Bad news for fans hoping to be done with Bayverse designs, but that was never going to be the case, as we saw that from the earlier product reviews. Of course, inspiration from Bay's live action films does not mean that the story or approach would be the same, since this is a different director and this film takes place in a different era.

We have another product shown featuring many faction symbols. It is important to note that the Predacon symbol is not there, which could hint at how little that faction is involved with the film. Remember, there have been no confirmation of any Predacon character being in the film so far. The listings for the various apparel come from BIG W.

If the orange faction symbol is not "predacon" (it's clearly not), what faction will it represent?
