I don't think that was the sentence he was referring to. It's the one where you're baiting people to argue. And yes, I'm dumb for falling for it.

I'm not baiting anyone. I just know everyone's going to want to crucify me for what I have to say, anyway. I'm just letting you know that you don't have to let me know how much you disagree, because I already know how much you do. And I'm speaking in terms of everyone.

ANYWAY...
A movie all about Bumblebee sounds like hell. I wouldn't even bother. The other movies are promising since they have new writers... Age of Extinction is definitely a contender for most boring action movie of all time. I'm curious how they'll develop this. What they should REALLY do are spin-offs focusing on the Beast Wars and Lost Light crew, but with this news of a prequel and Bumblebee movie, I think their vision is much more linear than what we were hoping for...

Bumblebee might be getting his own solo film? As in, there will probably be stupid humans and Bumblebee would the only autobot?

Poke out my eyes, man. Can't watch this.

All any of these people need to do at this point is take any of the Movierverse comics that IDW's put out and adapt those into movie form.

They want spinoffs? Boom! Those are spinoffs!

We want TF-focused films? Boom! Those are TF-focused!

We want films that won't mess up the continuity any further? Boom! That's what those are for!

Movie Prequel, The Reign of Starscream, Saga of the AllSpark (minus its last two stories), Alliance, Defiance, Tales of the Fallen, Nefarious, Unite for the Universe (a non-IDW manga, but still), Sector 7, Foundation, Convergence...

All of these were made to fit into the world established by the first three films and are just waiting to be put into movie form. So, get on it, filmmakers!

"Many of you know Bumblebee; the yellow Camaro, formerly known as a yellow VW Bug and he is a beloved character by kids all over the world. We could see stories told around Bumblebee and other characters."

Yeah let's go with "other characters".Who knows? Kids might even find more beloved characters to admire other than the one constant,perpetually there,never going away character that is consistently shoved down their throats. I mean, there's a couple more Transformers characters with interesting personalities out there,right? Maybe?

I totally agree. I would like to see something transformers without bumblebee.

They got away with quite a lot of stuff in that show. Blackarachnia's chest was one of the tamer things. And as a kid, it didn't even really register with me that she was supposed to be sexy. I just saw her as a female with a female shape. Then again I was a bit of an oblivious kid....

To keep this on topic, Bayformers Blackarachnia would throw subtlety out the door and there would be jokes about her figure every other line.

Lol remember when Rattrap said "Pussy cat, you really know how to tickle my joystick." XD
How they got away with that I have no idea.

It's never going to happen.


Maybe a movie with less focus on him but not a movie without him.



He is too popular with the kids (All the kids in my family including my sister and younger cousins love him the most)

You know if some of you people would stop overeating and actually read it says.


"BUMBLEBEE AND OTHER CHARACTERS "



You people have eyes use them.





Christ at the very least Bee is not an annoying guy like the Twins.

Yeah that's kind of why I put the emphasis on, and I quote, "other characters" in my previous post.

They specifically went out of their way to describe Bumblebee... who's not reading?

Bumblebee is the most recognized Transformer in the media tied with Optimus, Megatron and Starscream.

As long as Bumblebee talks, I don't mind him having a standalone movie. If not, nope, they can keep that idea where they found it.

Really a movie focused around bumblebee, news flash hasbro bayformers 1-3 were that. Time to pass the torch & stop milking that damn bot to death.

Don't turn this into the reason the free world is overweight, man. That's just ludicrous.

An all Bumblebee Movie? Wonder what the toyline would look like
I totally agree with you Sabrblade, the movie's comics by IDW have excellently tied the continuity together and have given IMO the more meaningful characterizations of the on screen and off screen characters. So if they want to expand the Transformers universe, it has already been done wonderfully.

They specifically pointed out Bumblebee which is what people are talking about and you're criticizing them for it. Hasbro made it a point to make Bumblebee seem like he's going to be the star and put other characters between quotation marks and brushing over them... sure, those characters may not have been decided on yet, but some people are just discussing how they don't want a Bumblebee-focused movie… I don't know why you're arguing.

It's only how you people interpreted/read that (Another way to say this is don't jump to the conclusions and read over it again).


He never said it was going to be a standalone Bumblebee movie just a movie focusing on Bee and OTHERS.

Megatron Wolf wrote:Really a movie focused around bumblebee, news flash hasbro bayformers 1-3 were that. Time to pass the torch & stop milking that damn bot to death.

Just because someone was an important character in a movie doesn't mean the movie was about them.



Bumblebee was not in ROTF that much compared to the rest of the films mostly due to him not being with nest for the first half of the movie and then being rather oddly absent in the final battle only taking part in fighting Rampage and Ravage and then shows up to be sad that Sam died and that's it.


Dotm also did not have that much Bumblebee before the Chicago battle.



Your statement only applies to the first movie.

How sad it is that we need to ask for a Transformers-focused movie when the movies are called TRANSFORMERS?!?!

For God's sake, is it so damn much to ask for a TFmovie to actually focus ln the Transformers?
I used to like entering the movieverse forums because all the discussion was fun, but it seriously has gotten depressing, and after the last movie's toys distribution fiasco, I don't even have expectations for the toy line, which I used to love.

Also, guys, I know we're sick of Bumblebee, but lets cut the poor guy some slack, we don't really hate him, we hate having a character shoved down our throats.

i see a few mainly options with cameos among themselves...

1.- transformers: the top of the hasbro properties will dominate the cinematic landscape.

2.- g.i.joe: the most obvious crossover with the franchise, as in the comics has been for several years as well as some cool interesting plots.

3.- m.a.s.k.(mobile armored strike kommand): the newcomer. a former gijoe member who is assigned to a secret special mission unit by using the first prototypes of cybertonian-earth based vehicles, to stop the evil terrorist cell (not an army as cobra or destro) of former destro's iron grenadier, miles "general" meyhem', leader of v.e.n.o.m.(vicious enemy network of meyhem), a group of mercenaries and outcasted dreadnoks who have also disserted or work undercover with stolen technology from cobra/destro that is also derived from autobot/decepticon? salvage.

4.- the inhumanoids: the spin-off of spin-offs. u.n's earth corps (or joe's) dr. herc armstrong investigates several mutations on earth's ecosystems, caused by decepticon continously substraction of energon resources or perhaps some kind of space virus/ alien life forms broght from cybertronians, that is creating inhumanoids, threatening human populances around the world.

ok, that's all i can think about right now, maybe a visionaries movie theme could be tossed out somewhere but, i couldn't figure it out where.

whta do u think?

YOU KNOW, WHEN THE TRANSFORMERS "BAYVERSE" DEBUTED ON SCREEN BACK IN 1997, I ALMOST HAD A NERDGASM WHEN ALL MY CHILDHOOD TOYS BECAME "ALMOST REAL". OVER THE YEARS, THE BAY MOVIES HAVE ACHIEVED TWO THINGS:

FIRST: PLACING THE SPOTLIGHT OVER TRANSFORMERS AS THE WORLD'S MOST PROMISING FRANCHISE AFTER STAR WARS, AND INDEED IT IS.
SECOND: CREATING THE BEST CONVERGENCE BETWEEN REAL WORLD AND FANTASY WORLD, VIA STUNNING VISUAL FX).

BUT THE LOWDOWN OF THOSE MOVIES HAVE BEEN A COHESIVE STORY, CREATING A LANDSLIDE THAT HAS SUGGESTED OR FORCED TO REBOOT THE FRANCHISE, EVEN BEFORE THEIR 10th ANNIVERSARY IN THE SILVER SCREEN.

IF THE GUYS WHO ARE HANDLING NOW, OR TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE REINS FROM THE FORMER MASTER OF EXPLOSIVE NONSENSE (M.BAY) , THEN THEY MUST TAKE LITERALLY ONE STEP BACK AND TWO FORWARD, SO WE THE FANS COULD FEEL SATISFIED WITH THE NEW PROPOSAL.

I GREW UP WITH THE STAR WARS ORIGINAL TRILOGY , THEN WHEN THE SECOND TRILOGY HAPPENED, I TRIED TO FOOL MYSELF WITH EVERY NEXT MOVIE, IT WILL BE BETTER, IT WILL BE BETTER....AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. NOW STAR WARS WILL BE BOOSTED WITH NEW BLOOD, A NEW VISION AND IT LOOKS TO BE WELL ON ITS WAY TO LEGENDARY GREATNESS, JUST LIKE IN THE BEGINNING.

TRANSFORMERS FORMER GLORY DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH MICHAEL BAY, HIS MOVIES ARE REALLY THRASH, ON A B-MOVIE LEVEL THAT IS . THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE FRANCHISE BEGAN IN 1984 AND ENDED IN 2000 WITH BEAST WARS. THAT'S THE GOLDEN AGE, NOW IT'S TIME TO MAKE HONOR TO THE REAL G1 SAGA.

NO MORE NAKED ROBOTS WITH FLOATING BALLS OR DESTROYING THE ENTIRE PLANET EARTH, OR MORPHING IN BYTES TO MAGICALLY BECOME ROBOTS OR VEHICLES, OR PREDATOR LIKENESESS, ETC.

THE BEST TRANSFORMERS MOVIE HAPPENED IN THE GLORIOUS 80'S AND MY HERO DIED TO BE REBORN ONE SEASON LATER. BECOMING AN IMMORTAL ICON OF POP CULTURE, UNDOUBTLY

The Hobbit DID focus on a Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins. He's the main character.

That Godzilla movie, however, needed more Godzilla in it. Fans weren't satisfied by the lack of Godzilla in it.

He wasn't the focus of DOS. He was barely even in TBOFA. And from what I understand, almost every Godzilla movie has a lack of Godzilla.

Now might be a good time to consider becoming a prepper.

While i'd like to see a prequel movie on Cybertron. Don't think a movie with just CGI and no humans will do great in theatre tickets sales.

If the prequel is all CGI on Cybertron, Think it's pointless. as the prequel stories have already been done with the video games and comics.

Would prefer a Beast Wars theatre movie instead. Set in present day time with a human cast.

Think a G.I Joe and Transformers cross overs movie might be interesting. but the weird over the top villians personalities will probably ruin everything.

Don't like Bumblebee at all. Don't want to see any movie where Bumblebee stars in and lead a team.

So, a solid 1/5. That's not too bad. I'm not sure an all CG TF film would have the kind of script to put against the above movies (not even Shark Tail), but it's not a bad statistic.

Except for The Lion King, since that wasn't a CGI movie, which was the original subject of the question.

Also except for Finding Nemo since that did have CGI humans in it.

So, eight of them.

Dammit! I didn't mean to put Finding Nemo in there. I had to stop myself three times because I knew it had humans, but I slipped past myself and did it anyway.

If they put some of the TV or comic writers on the Bayformers Cybertron prequel, it might stand a chance as an animated film. Does Paramount have an animation subdivision?

Isn't it Dreamworks?

I looked it up. They had a distribution deal with Dreamworks Animation but that expired a few years ago. The recently formed their own animation division, aptly named Paramount Animation. Their only film so far is the new Spongebob movie, but they have a film called Monster Truck coming out next year and several films in development. So that could be a thing.

Well, if they come out with a transformeers cartoon, hopefully it will be better than Transformers Cybertron lol. And hopefully it doesn't have any jerks for main characters like Kicker on Energon.

We have some more news on the Paramount plans to expand the Transformers cinematic universe, thanks once more to media and entertainment website Deadline: Christina Hodson and Lindsey Beer were just announced as joining the ever-growing writers' room headed by Akiva Goldsman. Read on more here and below to find out what these latest additions can bring to the potential projects!

Paramount Pictures and Michael Bay have added the first two female screenwriters to the brain trust of writers who’ll hatch Transformers sequels, prequels and spinoffs under the supervision of Akiva Goldsman. Christina Hodson and Lindsey Beer have both joined the group that will help craft ideas to expand the universe of the Hasbro toy line, then go off and write them. Hodson most recently got hired to write a new version of The Fugitive for Warner Bros and producer Arnold Kopelson. She previously scripted the spec The Eden Project, which Sony bought for Material Pictures, and her script Shut In just wrapped with Naomi Watts starring and BAFTA-winner Farren Blackburn directing for Lava Bear and Europacorp. The CAA and Kaplan/Perrone-repped scribe also scripted Unforgettable for Warner Bros and is developing a pilot for FX. She has hit the Black List with her scripts three different times.

WME-repped Beer writes in multiple genres, but most frequently comedy and fantasy drama. She has several features set up around town, including a live-action family adventure story at Disney called Dig, which she sold on spec with Whitaker Entertainment producing. She did work on Short Circuit for The Weinstein Company and her rated-R genre-bending comedy How To Nail An Alien is being developed at Atlas, and her script Electric is also with Whitaker. She’s currently working on a re-imagined The Wizard Of Oz for Warner Bros. with Vertigo. Black Label Media is producing and financing her project Sierra Burgess Is A Loser. Beer is the daughter of Sundance co-founder Gary Beer, and has the necessary background if Paramount wants to blind them with science in these Transformers films: she studied neuroscience and the intersection of technology and society at Stanford.

I'm glad they're building a writers room and one that includes women. I found the previous lot pretty exploitative and the last one's female character was just awful so hopefully their input will help in that area too besides that thing known as a plot.

I care more if they're good writers or not than what genitals they have.

Optimum Supreme wrote:I care more if they're good writers or not than what genitals they have.

I mostly agree. Woman sometimes have a different writing style, and it's always nice to provide equal opportunity. But in the end I hope all of these writers deliver great quality work
