Still hoping Targets release (or another retailer) will include the Machinima series TR & PotP. Yes they are horrible, but having them in some physical format would be nice. As divisive as they are, I don't think any TF media deserves to be lost forever, not even something that bad... 8-)

Courtesy of Paramount, we now have images of the home media releases of the Bumblebee movie. A press release was sent out earlier this morning with further information about the film and home media releases. In addition, Paramount has also posted the Blu-Ray trailer on their YouTube channel, which you can view below. In addition, the Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Combo Packs also include an exclusive printed version of the motion comic titled "Sector 7 Adventures: The Battle at Half Dome". The cover, featuring Bumblebee versus Soundwave (?) is in the gallery below.

That's cool! The comic looks neat, and it looks like Bee is in his new Camaro form from the end of the movie. I want to know more about Soundwave's design too.

Would a release still be allowed given what happened to machima?

Depends if hasbro has ownership of the show and copies of it. Considering they haven’t posted them on their own channel like they did with Combiner Wars over a year ago I’m gonna say there’s a lot behind the scenes issues with the shows and go with no.

Well hey, Rooster teeth just acquired a bunch of machinema’s stuff and renamed their “the know” channel an inside gaming which was an old channel of Machinema’s until the employees all quit and became Funhaus.

Who knows maybe they picked the deal with Hasnto and will post the prime wars trilogy. It’s a slim chance but they did have a clip of the Primes wars trilogy in the montage while they were announcing it

I like and I will be getting this movie to add to the collection. It's a must being a TF fan/collector.
For the neh Bayer's.. you make me sick falling in love with this movie more than the MBay Transformers, this guy jus put a few minutes of Cybertron an make the robots look like there original form an that's it.. because bumblebee is in his original g1 form around the years TF was initially introduced to us, but so what he is an advanced robot not old school. so the bug look was cool but outdated. The characters in the movie other wise other than blitzwing are unknown to me so why didn't we get some known characters if the director is such a g1 fan...
I say what ever to the critics an ppl who don't have a open mind.. I'm a bigger fan of BayFormer movie's than this one but ultimately a Transformers fan so I'll buy this

Than don’t go to discussion boards about stuff that’s been out in months. By now you should know better.

No, he's right in this case, as this is not the spoiler thread. This is.

It’s been months. If you didn’t see it and the stuff and info for the home media release if coming out than that’s too bad. If you haven’t seen the movie than why the Hell are you going to news and discussions regarding stuff on it.

That’s dumb.

It's confirmed but they never use the word once? I think they are talking about how they approach these movies rather then saying they are ditching what's come before. Afterall there is still a lot they can do before dealing with the tf movies.

I think really we'll know when we get details of the next movie to come out (if they have megs smashing around the 90s then we'll have our answer :lol:

Its a reboot. They just don't want to come out and say it so they can continue to milk as much money out of the other five films as possible.

The point is there is a lot of misinformation out there and it seems fans are desperate for someone else to tell them what they are watching instead of forming their own thoughts on the matter.

No. I'd say they are desperate to know that the Bay movies are gone and not coming back.

What's the big deal if they are still here? A gifted writer can still craft fantastic tales and still make it link up to the 07 movie. The bay movies were not just his fault, the writers of those movies share the blame, just as Bumblebee would have fell if the writer of AoE or Last Knight did it. Until hasbro say otherwise, bee is not a reboot. Its down to them where it sits

I can agree 100% on that but I think thats pretty nuts to think that about a film like Bee, when the main character's face has a bayverse design.

In any case, we already got confirmation from hasbro (like actual confirmation with quotes and all), that the films were moving away from the storylines set by Bay and the next film in the franchise that was building on it was cancelled.

The next film is already confirmed to be different, so the need for a reboot, or a cofirmation of one, is pretty moot.

At least that's how I see it. But seriously, if someone's idea of an actual reboot is for Bumblebee to have the same face he did before and still turn into a camaro and have a problem with his voice, then thats a pretty terrible reboot.

Personally I feel they are trying to have the best of both worlds. Keep the established aesthetic going for this universe and retcon out the things that aren't working. I also feel it's pretty moot, but that may because I'm just not that invested in it all. I take each movie like a piece of bubblegum, enjoy it while it lasts and spit it out once it starts tasting bad. They've said it's not a reboot, so it's not until we hear otherwise. The Bumblebee movie straight up contradicted a few things and it'd be nice to have some concrete answers though.

I think the quote or if not a quote the general vibe is that they are taking Transformers in a new direction. That could be interpreted as a new story or a new way to tell the stories. Personally I think they are going to try the stand alone movie thing again and keep focusing in smaller stories of individuals and do a little Marvel-like world building before bringing it all back together again.

I'll just say you can never have Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave together on the big screen if it's in the same continuity.

Cant use Megatron at all unless it takes place on Cybertron or inbetween Rotf and Dotm or Aoe and Tlk

Literally zero good can come out of this in the long run even if individual movies are good, if their changing story direction, why stay with the universe that killed 90 percent of the popular characters?

Of course you can, in a prequel film where the decepticons rise to power and take over Cybertron.

Which I think is one of the planned films, plus really, what's death in the tf film verse (or any tf series)? Megatron has already died three times

They could also make a new film set after AoE where megs reformats himself and resurrects the others. It all depends on the writers ability. Besides there is other cons to see other then them. How about a film where the main cons are the stunticons or combaticons (have brawl be the surviving member and bonus continuity points

Hey, a half a dozen or so more times and he'll be the new Optimus.

I knew I forgot to mention "On Earth", which is probably where most of the next films will take place

Like one or two prequel movies are fine sure but literally nothing the Autobots or Decepticons do is going to matter because almost everyone is dead by TLK.

The core cast of characters are gone what can you do with the story as it is now? What can you do with Unicron, Quintessa, Megatron and Barricade as your only antagonists left (and the next bunch of expendable Decepticon grunts like Brunt, Airwave and Wildrider who get killed off in 5 minutes)

Like if these next movies are prequels for sure then literally these movies do not matter, no amount of good writing or G1 design pandering is going to change that.

So did anyone tell lucas that the prequel movies didn't matter before he made them? You can make that argument for any and all prequel movies. Bee is not a reboot and it doesn't need to be as it is already a good film.

The point of the Star Wars prequels was the downfall of Anakin and the Jedi as well as the journey to becoming Darth Vader, the pointlessness was a big point in of itself and it's not like the Original movies were bloody despised by the fandom.

I doubt the next Transformers films if they are prequels will set up the exact same thing like the downfall of Jazz or the tragedy of Shockwave the wise becoming Shockwave the idiot monster.

People wanted to see the Star Wars prequels because the originals were good films and were actually able to get people invested in the universe of that franchise, The Bay films are hated by fans and casual audiences alike besides a minority (not a small one per say but still a minority) and I doubt many people actually wanted a prequel

I doubt any of the Transformers "prequels" will even acknowledged a single thing from the Bay films (Bee was already in production as a prequel don't use this film as an example) so why bother hanging on?

There is so much baggage associated with these films, literally the best thing to do is to refresh and reboot, otherwise they will drag these movies down in the long run.

(Bumblebee is a good movie but it's a pretty damn bad prequel movie with it's clash of aesthetics and disregard for all of the live action films besides the first one for it's continuity.)

Its a good thing Hasbro doesnt have your mentality because that would have meant no Bumblebee movie.

Good points except that bee 2 is coming, so it stands to reason that it will follow bee in being a prequel, there's plenty of time to play with and plenty of other cons they could use, they could even have a plot of one film being a group of cons messing the timeline up

I've said it before, there will be a reboot for the franchise but bee is not that film, if anything hasbro has learned that the style can change and be a prequel (just as style changed from amarda to Energon to Cybertron) or like the wfc games being prequels to prime and prime itself being a prequel to rid

For those of us who continue to be captivated by the character design of Transformers Bumblebee, we have some possible news of interest in the form of new concept art of Optimus Prime himself. Courtesy of Shane Baxley's Instagram account, the image is a simple profile of an early Prime's face, featuring some minor differences in detailing which truly does require a side-by-side to notice. It truly does go as a testament to how decided upon the character designers were to keeping the basic designs of the original animated series in mind while drawing up their own designs.

The photo is provided below, so be sure to let us know what you think in the forums below, and be sure to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews!

The Bumblebee movie is coming to Japan soon and as part of the promotion, there will be an official Bumblebee themed Café. Takara is promoting it on their website. There will be some Transformers themed treats like a Bumblebee parfait, and an Autobot omelet as well as other drinks. The menu is around the $10 range. You can find images of the café and food items below. Takara has also provided information regarding an easter egg within the café for Japanese fans who want to get the full experience:

"secret message" from Bumblebee hidden
inside the store Multiple QR codes are hidden inside the store, and messages from Bumblebee flow when reading them. There are seven kinds of messages in all, and the voice of Bumblebee is the voice actor Ryohei Kimura who plays the role of Bumblebee in the movie "Bumblebee".

Transformers executive to the marketing department: "Let's really go HAM on Bumblebee this time!"

The icing on the cake would be if they had a toy section and it was nothing but Bumblebee toys on the pegs :michaelbay:

I need to go there. That's awesome.

Question is, do the waitresses/waiters dress as Bumblebee and take your order via clips from songs?

I dont think anyone would disagree with that last part. The comics could explore aspects of the lore and fiction a 2 hour film could never dream of conveying.

It could happen, but I like that they listed the alt modes of multiple storylines, like how Cliffjumper has a reference to Alternity, Arcee has a reference to Beast Wars, and Shockwave has a reference to the Marvel comics

References! ;)^
