I found this while surfing YouTube

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian ig89ninja, we have word that the SyFy Wire Youtube Channel has published a brand new exclusive deleted scene from the Bumblebee movie.

The new scene, which is approximately 1 minute long, takes play when Charlie and Memo are discussing Bumblebee's origins and where he came from. Charlie mentions a "deep voice" coming from Bumblebee's chest in a hologram, talking about war and such, and it sets up a hilarious moment where Memo decides that Bumblebee is, in fact, a Gobot! Charlie thinks that's about as much rubbish as we all do.

This isn't even the first Gobots mention in the movie! Memo is known to have and read the Gobots comics in the movie, so a joke like this showing up comes as almost no surprise.

You can check out the clip below, and let us know what you think of this first Deleted Scene reveal below!

Without a doubt that intro was one of the highlights of this last movie..... I Loved it, and so much inspiration from the War for Cybertron games in those opening seconds!

Only now do I realize I could not remember that guys name for the life of me.

That's a good ribbing and call-out to the GoBots

[Skritz]

If GoBots exist as a work of fiction within the Bumblebee movie universe then does it mean Transformers doesn't and if so: did something else (which is similar) replace it or did GoBots go unchallenge? Does that mean in their universe that Michaeal Bay made GoBots movies?

AGH META FICTION HURTS MY HEAD!

Okay, I've got it:

Animax got its full first wave of toys produced in 1987, then wave 2 introduced a vehicle to animal transformation gimmick, making it dead last to jump on the transforming robot bandwagon, but it became regarded as the only true competition to GoBots, with a lasting cult following.

Years later, Animax becomes the basis for Beast Wars, the big difference being that once they realized they'd traveled back to prehistoric Earth, the AniMaximals realized they had to change history to prevent the disaster that created Animax's post-apocalyptic setting, even if it meant neither they nor the AniMotor-Mutants ever existed!

But the new timeline leads to the present day being Lionel's Power Masters cartoon, which went on for 10 seasons because the lack of any TF Powermasters meant is didn't seem like a lame rip-off, and the hellscape brought about by the evil aliens' use of Death Gold leads to the cataclysm that produced Animax in the first place! See, Bob Forward would be working on the still-running New Adventures of He-Man in 1996, so the late Larry DiTillio's partner on Beast Wars would be Karl Macek, who'd taken to editing western cartoons together after Robotech: Odyssey left him burnt out on doing it to anime, and...

...and even if no one would have gotten it, I'd have laughed harder if Memo was a fan of Convertors.

Which could have served as yet another continuation of Robotech if Macek had added in stuff from Orguss, and then --

I don't know how we survived the early days of the internet before they introduced geo-blocking.

I think he was referring to figures of the g1 style characters in Bumblebee we got full images of.

Though, I agree the Machine Robo stuff is nice.

Megatron looks like his movie 1 design in the stop motion comic.

[Sabrblade]

I'm surprised there's no audio commentary listed.

[blackeyedprime]

The appliance war scene sounds like a bad throw back to levels of Baynus might be picking this up at some point tho.
