Transformers Live Action Film Series to be Rebooted and Transformers 6 Removed from Roadmap
Transformers Live Action Film Series to be Rebooted and Transformers 6 Removed from Roadmap
Posted by william-james88 Fri Feb 16, 2018 10:40 am
The call could have bee listened to here and the big news was that Bumblebee would be the last film under the current Paramount team and that the Transformers Live Action films series would then be restarted by a new team.
A slide was shown with all Hasbro produced films slated to appear until 2021 with Bumblebee in the forefront and then GI Joe in 2020, Micronauts in 2020, Dungeons and Dragons in 2021 along with an unnamed Paramount/Hasbro film in 2021. Notice the total absence of he previously revealed Transformers VII movie.
Of course that goes hand in hand with the film series being rebooted, but that means that there is no planned Transformers live action film until at least 2022. Of course, this is all our interpretation looking at the evidence presented by Hasbro.
So, what do you fans think of all this? Are you glad or saddened to know the current Paramount team will ot be making any more live action Transformers film? Are you hoping for different designs in the reboot? Do you think this was caused by Transformers: The Last Knight underperforming? Let us know!

Also if for some odd reason the Bumblebee film turns out to be decent, you can bet Paramount will take that into consideration. All things considered however I think this is good. I'm not one of those *Yay bayformerz is dead!!!* fans, but the franchise definitely needs to go into a new direction. I'd say let it rest as much as a full decade, but the landscape of entertainment in general I believe is going to change so much in the near future. With new streaming services coming into existence, and possibly getting movies that were intended for the theater straight to your home (Cloverfield Paradox anyone??), who knows what the future holds.
What's odd though is I've never been a fan of unfinished material. As poorly received as Amazing Spider-Man 2 was, a part of me still wishes we had gotten a 3rd installment before going over to the MCU. But with TLK, I just don't even care. Maybe they can tie it up in a novel, or IDW can run a comic mini-series or, maybe nothing at all. 31 years later I'm still waiting on an animated follow up to The Rebirth, more so than a follow up to TLK
ON a side note, I had not watched the 2nd film (Revenge of the Fallen), in a while. If you remove all the scenes with Leo, Skids, and Mudflap -It's actually a really entertaining film, and arguably some of the best battle sequences of the entire franchise. The first film is still overall the best IMHO, but oddly enough, my opinion of the 2nd film is a bit higher now, maybe just because TLK is soooo sooo awful.
Wish List of Modern Combiners: Road Caesar, Monstructor & Dinoking (proper size to fiction), Landcross, Guard City, Battle Gaia, & G2 Defensor. Wish List of Titans:Metrotitan,Majin Zarak

Ugh, now I have nothing to look forward to amongst the masses of damn annoying Marvel/Star Wars films clogging up the cinemas.
Likes: Bayverse, Marvel UK G1, Geoff Senior art, '86 movie (more for style/soundtrack rather than Star Wars plot)
Dislikes: Bumblebee movie (lousy rehashed dumb crud), TFA, G1 cartoon, IDW G1, BW/BM, MP. The entire concept of Autobot Megatron

They were already planning on this so indeed, it's likely more of a "let's get there without continuity baggage" decision.Lucky Logician wrote:I'm going to say this has less to do with Hasbro disliking the Bayverse (which brought in tons of cash) and more with them trying to set up their version of the MCU. Watch them try and find some weird way of putting Transformers, GI Joe, Visionaries, etc all in the same Hasbro Cinematic Universe.

But the main reason I'm mad, is that they set up a completely logical ending point for this universe which we will now never see a payoff for: UNICRON.

This, exactly this. TLK was pretty bad but that doesn't mean the whole storyline needs taking round the back and shooting. Unicron on the big screen would be incredible. I mean I'm sure the reboot will be good, but I'm still annoyed. I'm also worried about the possibility for awful, awful political virtue signalling that seems to be in vogue with "geeky" movies these days. I swear if we have one of the robots going on about "toxic masculinity" I'm going to scream.

Still holding out hope that it'll be a soft reboot and future films will still be in the same universe, but at the very least I'll get to see movie Bumblebee one last time this December.

Yeah, but it wasn't really Unicron. It was "Unicron-as-Earth." You can't have him transform without destroying all life on Earth, and you can't have him roaming around the universe eating everything in his path if he's an actual planet that's been in orbit for billions of years. Those are two of the things that--to me, at least--make Unicron such a terrifying figure: the fact that he's out there already, doing his thing without being checked, and the fact that he can become a planet-sized barbarian-man at a moment's notice.
