Wait, what? We hear Bobby B.’s voice, Bee’s design is a variation of his existing movie design, his transformation noise is his unique one from the previous movies, and we see Sector 7. How isn’t this connected to that timeline?
We've slided!
I believe Will is misquoting stuff.
Travis Knight said this:So, what I was kind of trying to do with this film because it's set in the 80s, was harken back to the great, original, G1 vibe and feeling and tone. So, there are definitely Easter eggs for fans who are down with that sort of thing. There's a lot of continuity between this and the film's that Michael has done. But the film does stand on its own.

Spreading misinformation......FAKE NEWS? Shouldn't we verify first before, like you know, typing out a sentence?

it is an alternative; a different chronology. So, rather than going to a sequel from what people had seen last time, this takes place in the 1980s.

However, I do trust the director more than the man handling the brand, so Brian could be saying it in an unintentionally misleading way.
How a corporate executive uses the word "chronology" and how sci-fi/fastasy fiction nerds use the word "chronology" are two different things.william-james88 wrote:Yes, but Brian Goldner said this:it is an alternative; a different chronology.

Goldner was probably using the word to mean "This movie will not be another sequel set in the present day like the previous films have all been. It is set in a different time era of its own, separate from the forward-moving path that begin with the 2007 movie, serving as a new jumping-on point for fresh viewers just coming into this film franchise for the first time."
It is off the path of the first five movies in that it precedes them chronologically.

So very wrong. Some of the best Transformers figures ever made are 'Bayverse' figures.
I'm still not sure how I feel about this film. Actually not so much the film but moreso some of the reactions that are postive but can't seem to express that without being further negative about the stuff I love ( and I can't help it if I love 'Bayverse' Starscream's design and was never a big fan of the G1 Seeker look which I always felt looked absolute crap in comparison to the Macross mold used for Jetfire when it comes to robots from jets... fold the wings awaaaaay) But yeah it's ok. I never really fit in anywhere anyways.
fandom kinda sucks really. Even had to mute the words 'Star Wars' and similar things from my twitter feed cos of all the fans of that arguing with each other (and I don't even caaaare about Star Wars... I just got sick of all the toxicity filling up my timeline)

I actualy doubt its barricade since he is a police car and in another seibertron post i shows a drawing of him an he looks like a cop with his glasses. however, I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL IF IT WERE LOCKDOWN!!!!D-Maximal_Primal wrote:bacem wrote:i know this is just wishfull thinking, but looking at that travis in front of red muscle car, i really want it to be cliffjumper.
I'm betting it's Barricade
That glasses artwork of Barricade was early TLK concept art that has nothing to do with the Bumblebee movie.Blitzwing is bae wrote:I actualy doubt its barricade since he is a police car and in another seibertron post i shows a drawing of him an he looks like a cop with his glasses.

If you're taking the novels into account, then how do you explain Barricade playing a noteworthy role in the ROTF prequel novel, The Veiled Threat, which is set after the first movie? He and Optimus have a confrontation in the Roman Colosseum, even.blackeyedprime wrote:and Barricade returning from his off screen BUT HAPPENED death in the first film (it's in the novelisation too, which yes sadly I read and the prequel novel which I kind of liked, if memory serves they are by Alan Dean Foster)

So... Isn't this still a Bay-Verse movie then? Hmmmm.

Venom is a Marvel property but it's Sony made so it will more than likely NOT have a connection to the MCU.
Plus, Venom is released in October, it'll be out of cinemas by the time Bumblebee is released. Then there's the kid appeal that Bumblebee will have. Critics won't have much sway over the kids.

The real competition would probably come from Spider-man which will be released around the same time. Its trailer debuted the same week as BUmblebe as well.
