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

One would assume "Terrorcon".

Terrorcon

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I'm still a bit bummed Bee's gonna keep the same face. I still don't think it's the worst of all the Bayverse designs, I just like a lot of the other interpretations much more. Especially since I was hoping we'd get something more G1-y (not saying everything must be Geewun), because I think going for a hybridisation of the cartoon eyes and helmet with the toy's faceplate would more or less give us the same Bayverse Bumblebee (BBB) face but more in-line with what the BB movie gave us for the other characters. (At least, in my opinion.)

But I know this is THE iconic Bumblebee noggin so I am not even remotely surprised we're still getting it.

Terrorcon

But why? Why "Terrorcon" and and not "Predacon" ?

[TulioDude]

He looks good! I like that they kept some of the Bumblebee movie parts, like his arms and feet.

I wonder if he will have the car doors on his back or if it will be like before, where the merchandise was based on the concept art.

Day 891 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I like that they're incorporating more yellow into Bumblebee's face and filled it in a bit. Always thought all the gray metal and open spaces was a little too "cold" and skeletal for such cheerful bot.

Because they're not Predacons?


Nightbird, Battletrap and Scourge.

Though I seem to remember it being said that they have beast modes as well, or at least Nightbird does?

Wait... They are the Terrorcons.
It's the name of a combiner team.

So.....

Wouldn't get your hopes up the terrorcons also referred to the drones from Energon and I think the zombies from TF Prime

No, the Terrorcons are scourge, Nightbird, and whatever the other's names were.

ZeroWolf was just refering to the previous uses of the Terrorcon name.

Exactly this ^

Just because the G1 Terrorcons combined, doesn't mean the Rise of the Beasts ones will basically, as the Terrorcons name has been used before.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Also considering "Devastator". Personally, I'm not really like keen on the idea of seeing another Live Action Gestalt.

[First-Aid]

That BB looks like TF1 Bee had a baby with VW Bee. Smoother lines than the first Bay movie from what I can see.

Because predcons are known as evil beasts and they arent the villains in this film. Instead, the villains are a group of 3 bots that used to be from different factions and came together to make their own called the Terrorcons. Their leader is Scourge.

Believe it or not, we are just two weeks away from the original release date of the Transformers Rise of the Beasts movie, before it got moved to 2023. Well, instead of the film, Hasbro is giving us our first "official" look at how Bumblebee will look like in the beginning of the film. At the end of the Bumblebee movie, he became a 70's Camaro so that is the same alt mode he will have in the beginning of the film, and we've seen it on set many times. However, this is our best look yet at his robot mode. It was revealed on the official Transformers page of the Russian social media site VK. What is odd is that alongside it we also have a render of Optimus Primal which is just a stylized version of the original toy in 2d while Bumblebee is an actual 3d model.
Bumblebee does change form later in the film into an offroad vehicle and his robot mode kibble changes accordingly as we have already seen in the toys.

sholdnt bee look like a beetle rather than mustang? than reshape happened in the 1st bayverse movie

[bluecatcinema]

Looks like they've designed Bumblebee in an "intermediate" form, one that's between the original movies and his own solo film.

[ZeroWolf]

Bee started TF 2007 off as a Camaro hence why he turned into into one at the end of Bee

[RodimusPrimeUkraine1]

I hate "modern" Bumblebee. He's so stupid, rude, and unlovable. BORING . BURN IT WITH FIRE! In G1 you could actually care about him and imagine him as a good friend.

[RodimusPrimeUkraine1]

I want my yellow Volkswagen beetle !

[Sabrblade]

A Chevy Camaro =/= a Ford Mustang.

That's what needs to happen, but stupid has already destroyed the character of Bumblebee permanently. At least Prime looks nice though.

Gah why did I type that? Thanks for pointing it out Sabrblade!
