Come one, come all! We have a little news roundup on some Bumblebee movie news, starting with (drumroll please):

Soundwave speaks! Yes we get to here his fine, autotuned voice. In this same clip, we see new footage of Bumblebee talking to Optimus Prime, as well as some more footage of Bumblebee and Blitzwing fighting. Here, he shoves a missile into Blitzwing and shoots it, causing an explosion! Thanks to user adam glam on Instagram for all this footage below!
Here is this video.

Here we see Bumblebee trying to fix his voice briefly, in robot mode, as well as a new shot of Shatter and Dropkick, the later of whom threatens to burn the world to cinders... again.
Here is this video.
Image

Next, we get a featurette showing Bumblebee and Charlie trying to fix his voice!
Here is this video.
Image

Then, we have the full "Don't Run!" scene.
Here is this video.
Image

We have the clip of Charlie teaching Bee how to hide.
Here is this video.
Image

Another clip, this time of Sector seven chasing Bee through the woods.
Here is this video.
Image

Last, but not least, a new, upbeat trailer, with multiple new shots he haven't seen! Check it out below!
Here is this video.

Any viewers from China? Well, today we have a confirmation of a release date: January 4th, 2019, two weeks after the North American showing. The article that tells us this comes from Variety.

In a similar vein, Tencent Pictures is collaborating with Paramount Pictures to properly import and distribute the movie, as well as advertising and promotion in mainland China. This is good news, as it is very likely this company can help improve sales in China, which often times, ends up being where much of the movies' profit comes from. The article can be read here, at Cision.

Finally, the fan screening over at the United Kingdom has finished, with a few pictures uploaded of the celebrities present too at Paramount Pictures' UK Facebook page.

Well that's what the trailer wants you to think, going by all the spots and trailers I've already pieced together what happens.

Well actually I do know what happens in the scene thanks to screening from today, I'll keep it short.

Spoilers for the fight between Bee and Blitzwing. (Not in depth but a gist of the events based off the trailers and word from someone who has seen the film tonight.)

So Blitzwing attacks Bee, they fight and such, Blitz takes Bee up the cliff and does the questioning thing and then drops him off the cliff and afterwards he goes down to finish him off which leads to the end that we see in the spot where Bee lodges a missile into Blitzwing and blows him up therefore killing him, at some point during this fight Blitzwing rips out Bee's voice box, so yes they do show his moment of death in the trailer.


So uh that statement in your article is not entirely accurate.

I mean even before I read stuff from the guy who saw it I had pieced together how the scene was gonna go down thanks to the latest spot.


At least Sector 7 doesn't kill Blitzwing.


Edit: in regards to the spot itself look how clear and good that cgi looks and how emotive Blitz is despite lacking a uh proper mouth.

That kinda confirms then what I heard elsewhere regarding Blitzwing, thanks deadput :) also unless they state in the film that bee is a young Cybertronian, the backstory is still a million year war. Now if this film is a success (and I hope it is, I need to wash the stain that was last knight away) then we'll see this as a proper reboot, if not, expect them to leverage this as a prequel to 07 and get ready for another film after they reboot gi Joe and the rest of the hasbro properties

That's what happens when you have Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings), having a background in animation, as the director. Of course he has a great team (visual effects, production design,etc) working alongside him.

Does anyone else think Soundwave's voice is a little... weird :???: I mean, I'm OK with it but it just feels a little off, and maybe it would have been better if the G1 voice actor was used instead. Maybe that's just me. Other than that, he looks awesome, and I can't wait for the Bumblebee movie to come out(for those of you who already watched it, can you confirm if his voice is the same as the spot?)

I like it, wasn't g1 Frank Welker with a voice effect? I think we should get used to new voices for these characters anyway... The G1 voice actors won't be around forever and some of them (like Welker have been around for decades already)

Actually, I'm already used to the new voice, so it doesn't bother me anymore. And you're right, it was Frank Welker who voiced Soundwave ;)^ , and I understand that they won't be around forever, so I should get used to new voice actors

I want to apologise as I read what I put back and I'm worried it seemed like i was having a go. That was not my intent :)

In regard to ZeroWolf's point, I'd be okay with the current Cyberverse voice actors taking over as the "go-to" voices for many of the Transformers, particularly Marc Swint as Soundwave. While I know it's one of the most iconic elements of not just Soundwave but Transformers as a whole, I've never been a fan of the vocoder effect on G1 Soundwave's voice, and I agree with Nathaniel that the voice in this teaser sounds weird.

As for everything else, I still can't decide whether or not to see Bumblebee when it's out. I am worried that I won't enjoy it, and that Cybertron flashback sequence just feels like it was written and animated by the Member Berries from South Park. That said I do like Hailee Steinfeld, so I may end up seeing the film just for her.

Don't worry about it, I fully understood what you meant the first time. And you don't have to apologize either ;) Besides, being forgiving is what makes me a Prime anyway :lol:

Everyone's voice sounded a little weird. I wonder if it's because this is a foreign trailer. This may not be the voice Soundwave has in the US version.

I really like Blitzwing's face. Don't really know why, but I really like it. I'm still hoping for a Studio Series toy of him

I'd be surprised if we didn't get one down the line, probably in jet mode since it will be a nightmare on the studio series line to do a triple Changer.

I've edited the article to not say anything if he dies or survives and what not. Thanks!

Go watch it! Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings) is directing it. He has a background in animation and is the CEO of Laika. In this film, he has a great team (visual effects, production design,etc) working alongside him. And I like Hailee Steinfeld too! What a talented actor.

Ah now that I've gone back over to my post I realize I might have came across as too "corrective" and rude and I apologize for that.

Gonna edit out a part from that spoiler since I did add something that some might not have wanted to read about Dropkick

I originally said something about Dropkick and a certain part that the spots showed that I've since edited out of my original comment, it's on the same vein as Blitzwing though it was a very small part of my post and it was at the very end of the sentence so it's possible people could of skimmed over it, it was small enough for me not to realize until today.
