Bumblebee: The Movie Rumours, More bots to appear?

Right off the bat, I feel that these will just be generics that look visualy similar. I mean yeah we have seen some prequel material (that seems obsolete) where these characters were shown on Cybertron, but they didn't look exactly G1 inspired. I mean, CJ was Bumblebee but in red, Soundwave had his ROTF design, and Shockwave was in his DOTM design (which changed overtime).

the key word is most of them dont have voice roles

meaning that they really dive deep into the lore of cybertron and thus the war will also be included and there will be voice acting for some of the listed characters

once again this makes my hopes for this movie go up and higher

Or like, Soundwave gets a single generic line during the 30-to-90-second Cybertron sequence.

Personally I'm guessing it's somewhere in between those two, but we I wouldn't advise getting your hopes too high for a lore deep-dive, since this movie is pretty definitively about the emotional core of a relationship on earth.

I'm thinking along those lines as well, cybertron is just starting the plot. We'll see snippets of battles then prime will tell bee to get to earth.

Three that stand out in the film are Soundwave, Shockwave and Cliffjumper. Note that these are only brief cameos and most of them are not speaking roles

So they stand out by not getting to speak? Uhhh okay then.

As much as I do think that this will be a good movie. I do hope they don't focus too much on Bumblebee. Don't get me wrong I don't wanna sound negative but Bee gets to be in everything and is often a main character with a lot of merch. I just wanna see some of the others get the spotlight outside of the big 3.

So at least some of them Speak I presume that these cameos are brief and are small generic war lines like.

"Take cover!", "He's over there!", "Watch that sniper!" Those kind of lines.

You do know they also don't have to speak to standout regardless anyways for example Cliffjumper could be an Autobot that get's killed by Shockwave in front of Bumblebee or something.

Also it's Bee's movie he is the main character so of course the focus will mostly be on him, after that it will be the Decepticons of the movie, then Optimus since he's more then a cameo although still not that big a presence overall, then the cameos which can either be characters in the background as screen fillers or minor characters that get a couple of minutes and lines to themselves. (Like Say Barricade is an after credits scene or something)

That's not including the human characters as well since there is Charlie who will most certainly have a lot of spotlight, her family and friends including that male friend or brother, Burns and the rest of Sector Seven and who knows who else.

When will we get that bee in toyline? So potentially, bee could go through three alts in the movie. Going from the jeep, to the vw and, if rumours are correct, the '77 camaro.

that Bee looks very Swindley

I want a Studio Series toy with this version of BB so badly.
And it's an easy recolor into a classics Hound. Just change the head, too

That mold is very probably too old to use for normal retail anymore.

WHY?
They even rereleased Energon Grimlock in the AoE line.

As part of a store exclusive boxed set, not a normal retail figure.

So what's the point?

This one would also work:
