Live Action Transformers Movies- News and Rumours Roundup

I think this happened because TLK was such a flop that Hasbro/Paramount made the last-minute decision to rework the film and throw TF6 into the bin.

I really, really do not want a massive "Endgame" style TF movie. That would put us right back at where the Bayverse films failed: too big, no character, too much action.

The only reason it bothers me is because they have a scene with Bumblebee driving alongside Optimus and that would have been perfect if Bee had stayed as a VW.

I mean, the entire movie was great, and obviously they're not doing that, but it would please me.

I'm also not sure how they hope to have an "Endgame" style of movie with the Beast Wars characters. Endgame worked because you had a decade of building up a bunch of characters and making people care about them. You're telling me that in three movies, we're going to be so heavily invested in this new universe that we'll get a massive ensemble cast in some grand finale? I'll be pressing X to doubt until we get official word.

Transformers: Beast Alliance takes place in the Bumblebee timeline and will be set in the 1990’s. The film will have the flavor of a heist film that will span from Brooklyn to South America.

Caple and the production are currently looking to cast either an African-American or a Latino actor in his early to mid-twenties for lead role, along with a female co-lead as old or even slightly older, who can pass for a native New Yorker. Unfortunately we were unable to get a double-confirmation of what Transformer robot characters are slated to appear in the upcoming film.
