Thank you to Paramount Home Media, Seibertron.com received a copy yesterday of the Bumblebee movie. Here's a full rundown plus descriptions from yours truly of all of the special features and bonus material included on the Bumblebee 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray set.

BONUS FEATURES ON 4K ULTRA HD COMBO, BLU-RAY COMBO & DIGITAL

Sector 7 Archive
- Agent Burns: Welcome to Sector 7 - brief "recruit deployment" scene with Agent Burns (John Cena) who introduces us to Sector 7 at the Hoover Dam and teases introducing us to NBE-01.
- Sector 7 Adventures: The Battle at Half Dome - motion comic of the comic book included with this set. Also has a couple extra scenes at the end where we are introduced to NBE-01 Megatron. I'm not a big fan of motion comics so take this for what you will. The level of acting seems similiar to video storybooks intended for young children. My copy included the actual comic as well, which was printed on nice glossy paper, with the cover feeling like it was printed on a nicer card stock (similar to postcards or business cards). Surprisingly, the comic was made by Avalanche Comics Entertainment instead of IDW.
Deleted and Extended Scenes
- Original Opening - a different opening scene shown from Bumblebee's perspective, narrated by Bumblebee, as he's hunted by Agent Burns and friends in the forest. I'm really glad they did not use this as the opening scene. Bumblebee has a bit of a negative attitude in this scene, which does not seem like his normal personality. Kudos for someone catching this and removing this opening scene.
- Drive to karate class - scene between Charlie and her brother Otis, who was holding onto Charlie's moped while riding on his skateboard. She arrives to her job at the Hot Dog on a Stick at the boardwalk carnival. Charlie's friends talk to her about her being different since her dad died.
- Birthday present - Charlie's Mom (Sally) and her mom's boyfriend (Ron) present her with two gifts, of which she's not a fan.
- Car wash and Beetle breakdown - Charlie and her brother Otis give Bumblebee a bath. Later in this scene, Bumblebee breaks down in the middle of an intersection as cars drive by with horns honking.
- Charlie drops off Mom and Conan - After dropping them off, head to beach scene with Bumblebee practicing his disguise. In this version, he grabs her by the legs to shake off the sand from when he transformed.
- Decepticons inspect the armory - near finished animated scene featuring Shatter and Dropkick. Dropkick adapts some new weapons from the military vehicles.
- Drive to Cliff - Scene between Charlie and Memo where he discusses Bumblebee being a Go-Bot. Apparently Go-Bots are actual toys in this universe. Glad they cut out this scene. Much better ways to reference Go-Bots or the rivalry between the two brands back in the 1980s.
- Sector 7 - couple of Sector 7 agents discussing who made the first machine and the Transformers god. Shatter and Dropkick discuss closing in on their target with Agent Burns.
- Appliance War - Energon power surge that happened when Bumblebee connected with electrical socket. Dishwasher monster attacks Charlie and Memo, as well as the Fridge, TV and Alarm Clock monsters which were created by the Energon power surge.
Outtakes
- Burn meets Bee - John Cena has a bit of fun when he first sees Bumblebee in forest.
- War room - John Cena has some fun with the other actors after he answers the red phone and "pretends" to talk to the President.
- There's a door in my way - Agent Burns talks about the Facts of Life to Simmons and that it's OK if he opens up to him. Has secret crush on Natalie. Guy that is supposed to blow up the door has wires tangled. Kind of wish they had left this in, sort of funny watching how long it takes the guy to untangle the wires. LOL.
- Charlie in trash - scene at the tower toward end of movie. Bumblebee versus Dropkick. Dropkick's missile hits the dumpster Charlie is hiding in and it doesn't go off. She states "well, that didn't work" and then it goes off.
- Saved the world - Memo and Agent Burns different takes with their conversation at the end after Memo arrives after battle.
Bee Vision: The Transformers robots of Cybertron - I liked most of the bonus features on this set, but found this one to be disappointing. I get what they were trying to do here by having a profile screen show up as new Transformers characters are shown during the Cybertron battle scenes, but there are some inconsistencies. Not all of the characters get their bio screen, or they get it later instead of when they first show up (such as Soundwave and Shockwave). While I like that the bio screens list the character's alt mode, I don't like that it looks like someone just went to a Wikipedia page and happened to see that Arcee also turned into a spider at one point (courtesy of BotCon) or that Wheeljack turned into a Ford Mustang (courtesy of the Alternators line). Those transformations are small fictional offshots from the main storyline and shouldn't have been listed. It struck me as ill-informed. Some fans might like the inclusion of these one-off alt-modes as a nods to where these characters have been, but it seems really out of place in the movie universe. It's also inconsistent that it doesn't mention other alt forms that Starscream has taken if they are going to go that route. Wish they had just kept it to their current alt forms (and/or their movie universe alt forms).
Bringing Bumblebee to the Big Screen (featurettes)
- The Story of Bumblebee - featurette about the story direction of Bumblebee, his character, etc, told through various Producers and people who worked on the movie
- The Stars Align - featurette about casting Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena for lead roles of Charlie Watson and Agent Burns respectively.
- Bumblebee Goes Back to G1 - artists discussing using G1 as source material or launching point for recreating these characters in the "real" world. Also discuss animating Bumblebee, complexity, expressions, the Decepticons Blitzwing, Shatter, and Dropkick, and so on. There is NO discussion about Blitzwing's similarties to Starscream.
- Back to the Beetle - behind the scenes look at Bumblebee as a Beetle, total of 8 Volkswagen Beetles available for use in movie including 1 electric Beetle that they custom built. Interesting look at the magic of Hollywood doing its thing with Bumblebee.
- California Cruisin' Down Memory Lane - featurette with primary focus about recreating that 1980s look with the house, town, sets, cars, making Charlie's look stand out from other characters, location scouting, Santa Cruz boardwalk set, San Francisco bridge, redwood forest, showing off California, etc.

Well, doesn't have to be part of your personal canon. But as clearly stated, the FubPub and 3H comics are canon to the Transformers mythos.

Also want to point out, that the T2 spider Arcee (I'm assuming she's a T2, seeing as she's redecoed off a T2 toy) was the very first Arcee toy to have a transformation gimmick.

For the Bayhem fans and Bumblebee dislikers. You people have 5 movies, don't be selfish and want the next one to be a Bayformers again. At least break try to break even with 5 decent to good Bumblebee like movies before you Bayform again.

You talk like people can't enjoy both the films that came before and this one.

You can, I enjoy Dark of the moon a lot, and some fight scenes in the other movies. I just read a few comments on they NEED another Bayformers and Bumblebee was so boring. And they really don't want a Bumblebee sequel.

Redundant links aside, I'm talking about canon from the perspective of a mainstream line. Be that a cartoon, film, video game or high profile comic book publisher, such as Marvel, Dreamwave or IDW. Anything else is just a novelty wiki page and/or con-exclusive repainted oddity.

At the time they were released, 3H's media was viewed by the fandom as being on the same level as anything else, since there were no other Beast Wars or Beast Machines comic series out at the time. Fans were starving for more Transformers comics and 3H was the only option that gave people exactly that, for better or for worse.

And all of their published material (once each piece's physical copies had sold out) was eventually put online for all fans to experience, with the exception of those that hadn't sold out prior to the company's losing the brand license to Fun Pub. As such, everything they released from 1997-2002 made it online for all to see, and is still accessible to this day.

I see. From my perspective though, since Transformers is initially a brand about a toyline, I always felt the fiction (while a great element to it and what made this brand last) to be secondary. That is of course no longer the case, due to the films, but its how I see the brand when I break it down to its essential. So to me, there isnt really a transformer canon (aside from colour schemes haha)

This reminds me of what I've said for years with Beast Wars. Wherein everything applicable only exists via the toys and the cartoon, given the lack of alternative media. The stance I took was that if it didn't happen/wasn't said directly in the show, it was irrelevant. The G2 "links" people discuss, concerning the Swarm and other such things, as it was never spoken in the show, it is fan fiction and non-canon. People that debate this I've asked them to show me the episode where it is addressed. It doesn't exist, which proves the point.

Just like how Furman wasted the opportunity presented with the The Ascending on some weird one-dimensional Rampage redeco, my curiosity sated, I now know Acree was never a spider in any cartoon, film or any of the mainstream examples I gave above, so I don't care beyond that.

Right, just in her first Hasbro-produced transforming toy ever made, complete with Susan Blu's voice in a voice box accessory.

Which would have meant more, if the design were being used in a show. Plus being something more unique than just a Blackarachnia redeco.

Heh, they had to practically beg Hasbro to let them make the toy, since it was the first time a new toy of a major G1 character who'd never gotten a full toy before (let alone Arcee) would be getting one in the 21st Century, and that was a practice that simply wasn't done at the time. Just the fact that it got made was a miracle, since there was no way on God's green Earth back then that Hasbro would have produced an all new mold for something that wasn't directly a part of Beast Machines. G1 was dead to them back then, and 3H was only allowed to use preexisting molds for everything they did, so they simply made Arcee as Beast Wars Arcee, just like how Hasbro had made the anomalous one-off that was Beast Wars Grimlock four years earlier.

For real, I kinda want Arcee to turn into an Alfa Romeo Spyder of some description when she appears on Earth, just as a subtle nod to the afforementioned BotCon toy/poorly copypasted alt mode info. :lol:

We have some awesome concept art from Matt Tkocz for the Bumblebee film over at his Artstation page. We can see:
-5 different bodies for the jeep Bumblebee
-WWII Bumblebee
-3 shots of Bumblebee fighting Dropkick (or a random helicopter, for two of them)
-2 shots of an aftermath of an explosion
-Shatter tampering with technology
-Boats crashing

As expected, Shatter uses her helmet design, that isn't present for almost the whole film. Click one of the images to check out the Artstation page, and below those will be coverage of a video on how the sounds of for the Bumblebee film were done!

As we promised, he have a video from INSIDER on how the sounds from the Bumblebee film were made. See, would we lie to you?

Most people don't look at the description, so we'll put it here.
"Bumblebee," the latest movie in the "Transformers" franchise, makes great use of sound. We sat down with the sound team on the Paramount lot and learned all the sounds behind your favorite Autobots, from Optimus Prime to Bumblebee himself, as well as, of course, battles and explosions.

The "Transformers" movies are known for explosions and giant Autobots that crash into buildings. To make all that feel real, the sound has got to be just right. "Bumblebee," the latest entry in the franchise, was no exception.

To learn more about how the sounds you hear in the movie are made, we talked to the film's Foley team. Foley sounds are any sounds based on a character's interactions and movements. Usually that means human characters, but it can also apply to the sounds of animals, and, in this case, big metallic creatures. Many of Bumblebee's movements aren't different than what you'd expect from a human character, but he's made of metal, so he's going to sound different.

This is Dawn Lunsford, Alicia Stevenson, and David Jobe, the Foley team behind the movie.

"Bumblebee" is available now on digital and on Blu-ray April 2.

Hey, yo, off topic, did you want to see the VW Beetle used in the film AND happen to be going to the 2019 Vancouver International Auto Show? Well, good news for you, because it will happen! An article from Driving tells us this information!

The 2019 Vancouver International Auto Show has this vehicle display, specifically the one used in the film. So, if you were going there, maybe you can drop by, and tell us that you saw the 'Bee, in the Pub forums below.

That is awesome, question is, do you have a video player to play it on? The bee kind sticker on the tape was a nice touch.

I wonder if the VHS is actually going to be available, or if it's just an April Fool's joke. Loved the video either way.

It is only available as a promo, so probably just people that Paramount sent the copy to.

That's too bad. I think it would actually sell really well, to be honest. Last year, a favorite singer of mine released an album, and the cassette version of it sold out the fastest of all the limited edition versions.

Why would you even want to play it and decrease its value? :ic$:

It would have been really cool if this was legitimately included with a special edition release and it was an actual large scale Ravage, based on his design in the film.

Some fans were intrigued once they heard that movie Megatron appeared in the tie in comic to the Transformers: Bumblebee movie. Would it be a G1 styled design to go with the revamp designs, or would it be Bayverse Megatron tieing the Bumblebee film much closer to the Bayverse. Well, now you can be the judge (it's frozen Bayverse Megs). This at least confirms that Hasbro and Paramount do intend on keeping a link in some shape or form between the old continuity/designs and Bumblebee, along with probably what comes next. This tie in comic is called Sector 7 Adventures: The Battle at Half Dome, which is a motion comic that comes as a bonus feature with the home video release of the Bumblebee movie.

Enjoy the image!

Wow,its so well drawn.Maybe they are using it to tie with Masterpiece and a possible studio series version? :-?

I still want to see the Bumblebee Movie concept art for Megatron though.
