All this talk about Pete Davidson and no one's mentioning the fact that we got Star Trek: Discovery's Captain Philippa Georgiou (and her Mirror Universe counterpart Emperor Georgiou) voicing Airazor?

She was also Ying Nan in Shang-Chi, and had a cameo at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2.

Seriously? Michelle Yeoh's stardom goes WAYYYY beyond a show like STD. I'd be more surprised that anyone thought of that show first when hearing her name.

Tomorrow Never Dies. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Shang-chi.

Michelle Yeoh has always been one of my biggest Hollywood crushes. Classy, amazing actress, badass as hell, disarming smile. The woman doesn't age. Giggity.

That's why I wrote some big films in the article when commenting on her. She's THE most famous crossover Asian actresses of all time.

No way, it’s Michelle Yeoh, from the hit film Minions The Rise of Gru!

[Rodimus Prime]

Well this news is a wash. Michelle Yeoh? Absolutely. Pete Davidson?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I can't say I know either of those names, and I only got Michelle once someone mentioned Shang Chi.

I really could care less about who the voices are. It would be nice if professional voice actors were used instead though.

Pete Davidson has been on SNL since 2014. I really like the guy. I'm not sure he's right for Mirage, but as we've seen with live-action Transformers, they're the original versions of those characters in name only.

He starred in King of Staten Island that came out in 2020. I thought it was a pretty good movie. I didn't know that it seemed to be somewhat based on his life since his Dad was a NY Firefighter and died in 9/11 attack. Here's the trailer if you want to see a more "serious" role than his SNL skits.



He was known before his list of well known girlfriends came into the picture.

Isn't Pete Davidson's entire career predicated on boinking one of the Kardashians?

Perhaps you missed this:

Pete Davidson (who was in SNL, The Suicide Squad, and Kim Kardashian)

LOLOL, well played @william-james88

[snavej]

'Pete Davidson will be dong as he grunts' (original article) - LOL! One of those accidentally funny spelling mistakes.

[muddyjoe]

"Pete Davidson will be dong as he grunts"... what kind of movie is this???

Michelle Yeoh has been doing voice work for years, appearing in the Kung Foo panda and minions series.

It's been real quiet on the Rise of the Beasts front. Hasbro even explicitly specified that there would be no Rise of the Beasts news made public for a while, at least on their end. However, that will change in a bit more than a month's time. Sources from Peru, where a big part of the filming occurred, have stated that the marketing campaign for the film should start in December. We don't know if that means a teaser or just some images in a movie magazine. But we will get a look at the film in some way, and the toys too, from what was posted.

The first steps to the promotion of "The Awakening of the Beasts" officially begin. From today to December details of mkt campaigns in the region will be fine-tuned. And December kicks off strong with everything concerning toys and the movie's early previews.

We know that Hasbro does have marketing material for the toys available with mock ups for the retail space, but we don't know when that will be shown in full either.

We also know the the film is not finished yet, which is normal for a film over 7 months out. Additional scenes are yet to be filmed, and some of those scenes will feature US rapper Toby Nwigwe, who anounced it in this video below:



Hopefully you will indeed hear from us again come December where there will be even more to discuss.

Pretty exciting to see what will be said, can't wait to see the movie itself either. Seems like a lot of people had fun making it.

Yes, I really enjoyed the passion. Including the passion from Michael Bay himself who seemed far more relaxed and less on edge since he didn't have to direct the whole thing and was more of a passing observer, lending his hand when he could.

[First-Aid]

That shirt is awesome....

[just_aCloud]

Cool! Glad to see we got something coming soon. Hate to get too excited but I definitely am intrigued by the potential with these new beastformer designs--I might dare say I have high hopes!

[william-james88]

There was a presentation to investors a little while back and on one slide we could see an apparel display for the Transformers Rise of the Beasts film. TFW2005 got their hands on the presentation and so we now have a clearer image of that standee which gives us our first image of Primal, bigfoot style, so blurry. Eagle eyed fans also spot Mirage, Wheeljack and Arcee but they aren't as obvious as the chest pounding gorilla at the centre. So we had our look at Airazor, now Primal, and we probably will get more "first looks" with the marketing campaign starting next month.

[FallenNathan!]

If we just get a higher quality version of this display every month, I'm sure we can understand it by June!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Bigfoot sighting!

[william-james88]

Now this is what fans were waiting a long time for, that inevitable moment where merchandise leaks the character designs. In this case we get all the movie maximals at once: Optimus Primal, Rhinox, Airazor and Cheetor. We already got a great look at Airazor through her toy and the image here does indeed match what we saw but the others are mostly new. Primal is as everyone said, a reuse of that Bayverse Primal concept art from years ago (which you can see below). Cheetor however is very different from any previous concept art we've seen and adheres closer to the original material while still being more mechanical in appearance. And Rhinox has the appearance of rusted metal, something that was also previously said.

The designs are on a picture of a mug that was found in a licensed memorabilia boutique specializing in mugs. The original post is here.

[Autobot_Benz]

Those look great Wow

[84everfan]

Why would they alter the design of the Maximal Symbol?

[First-Aid]

Thats a win. Nothing but a win.
