We have another product shown featuring many faction symbols. It is important to note that the Predacon symbol is not there, which could hint at how little that faction is involved with the film. Remember, there have been no confirmation of any Predacon character being in the film so far. The listings for the various apparel come from BIG W.

One would assume "Terrorcon".

But why? Why "Terrorcon" and and not "Predacon" ?

I wonder if he will have the car doors on his back or if it will be like before, where the merchandise was based on the concept art.
Day 891 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Because they're not Predacons?
Nightbird, Battletrap and Scourge.
Though I seem to remember it being said that they have beast modes as well, or at least Nightbird does?

No, the Terrorcons are scourge, Nightbird, and whatever the other's names were.

ZeroWolf was just refering to the previous uses of the Terrorcon name.

Exactly this ^
Just because the G1 Terrorcons combined, doesn't mean the Rise of the Beasts ones will basically, as the Terrorcons name has been used before.

Because predcons are known as evil beasts and they arent the villains in this film. Instead, the villains are a group of 3 bots that used to be from different factions and came together to make their own called the Terrorcons. Their leader is Scourge.

Bumblebee does change form later in the film into an offroad vehicle and his robot mode kibble changes accordingly as we have already seen in the toys.

That's what needs to happen, but stupid has already destroyed the character of Bumblebee permanently. At least Prime looks nice though.

Do I sense fanfic head cannon guessing here? Well, mine was that the terrorcon's relation to beasts is their robot mode, their designs will be animalistic, the original scourge had dragon wings and claws.

There's no fanfiction there, it was what was said a while ago. Don't forget there's a more well known Scourge from the Robots in Disguise 2001 cartoon oh and the G1 con I guess

No, just the facts, what we know so far.

And it isn't exaggeratedly anthropomorphic like the last two Bayverse movies' Autobots, which felt more like humans made of metal (seriously, a robot with a trenchcoat as part of his body? And another modeled like a samurai?).

The wheels on the legs are more exposed than before, I wonder if this was made with the toys in mind, so they are easier to design.

Meanwhile the kids they're marketing to are saying, "MORE BUMBLEBEE, I LOVE HIM!!!!" and we get an entire line of exclusives featuring the guy at Target. You may not like him, and that's your right, but he's wildly more popular and lucrative than G1 Bee will ever be.
There's a reason why Hasbro tried to upgrade/update G1 Bee into this:
And why most modern versions of Bee for the various TV series look more like Camaros than Beetles since 2007.

But yeah, the specific Camaro is a direct result of the 2007 movie.
And honestly, the Bay-Bee haters sound like old men yelling at clouds. It's been 15 years already. That Bee is now the nostalgic Bee for a whole new generation of adults.
If I find some more Geewhiner crying like a baby about Bay-Bee, I'll call for the nurse so that they get wheeled back into the nursing home.

Whether it's Kenobi's antics on Tatooine before A New Hope, or the tale of Chewbacca's crossbow, or the life story of Leia's hair stylist, or what Bumblebee did on Earth before he met Sam, I have no interest in stories that took place beforehand - because we already know from the original movies how it all ends.

I don't see how that detracts at all from wanting to know the why or how, if anything it helps give insight to what made these characters turn into the ones we would later see in the Bay directed films. Ignoring the inconsistencies within them, that is, and ignoring if this will end up becoming a reboot anyway.
Of course, I totally understand your opinion of wanting to keep getting newer stories, even if The Last Knight practically tied everything up.

Hey now! I trademarked Geewhiner(tm)! You owe me 10 bucks!
And the threat would be better if you said the nurse was going to Foley cath them...with an oversized catheter....

Because it's from Hasbro proper, just read the title.
