Your not thinking movie your thinking cartoon people have said galvatron was motor master before his name was dropped in if tow was an autobot It be 50/50 chance could be hoist but it may not be hoist iron hide was black pick up truck, ratchet hummer rescue, bumblebee camero not Volkswagen , brawl tank not construction , frenzy radio, sound wave satalight and silver car, Q / wheel jack no racing car but blue car sporty look to it.
Think outside of box when it goes down cars in movie verse what you want and think will be will be could be something entirely different rust up van be interested who it is motor cycle con more intrigued in hate for cop car be barricade like his movie version but he died in third movie

But this means we have a group of at least 3 cons here then with Bee and potentially Hound. Interesting

I hope that's a sarcastic post, because I might get all rage mode if you think it's a good idea to bring the 2 walking racial stereotypes back to life. Regardless, I don't think I will see this movie, I've been burned far too many times by Michael Bay.

The Twins have nothing to do with any race. The only prejudice associated with them is the kind you've made up in your own mind. That says more about you than anyone else. I hope they bring the Twins back just to spite you.
That said, I look forward to Barricade's return. If there is, in fact an alliance between autobots and Deceptiocons, I'm kind of hoping it will take the rout of IDW. How, even though there are "peaceful," Decepticons, there's still at least one faction that could be considered hostile. Galvatron and the remaining KSI drones come to mind.

If I'm honest, Revenge of the Fallen has many problems, but the Twins aren't one of them. I was never once offended by Skids or Mudflap, and I even found them entertaining when I first saw the film as a kid. They might annoy me now, but I'm still not the slightest bit offended, for me or any one else. Therefore, I would not mind their return either. Sue me.

In a way I agree, I never saw the twins as offensive, just kind of dumb and not very well-written, though I don't think they should have been removed half-way through production of Dark of the Moon and I wouldn't mind seeing them again. I kind of wish Arcee and Sideswipe had more screen time and dialogue than the Twins did (and for the three Biker Girls as I call them to combine into a single robot like was originally planned), but it is what it is.
On topic, I like the look of all these new Decepticons, and I'm surprised to see Barricade return (if the police car is Barricade, because for the longest time I thought Sideways was going to be an upgraded Barricade before his name was announced). The tow truck and the motorcycle are probably the two I like the most, and I like SlyTF1's idea of a peaceful faction of Decepticons. It would add a much welcome layer of depth to the characters.

Nope, they took his eyes out and blew his foot off but you didn't see him killed!
and I still think that motorcycle is going to be Rumble!
Could the tow truck be Breakdown?

Several Seibertronians have thrown around a comment about ROM being the titular Last Knight in jest, but thinking about it - is it not possible that this is indeed the beginning of the wider Hasbro universe? Why the sudden change in fonts? Why does Galvatron/Megatron look like a Dire Wraith - ROM's main antagonists in the comics - made out of metal?
While we're at it, compare the tagline in the image below, with the one used for the Morse code teaser, 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'. And remember the creators?
As the author of the Forbes piece says, there are some parallels in the visual - but is that where it stops? According to Chris Ryall, definitely maybe. Check out more below, and rev your speculation engines in the Energon Pub!
As I said before: “we know Hasbro has movie plans for Rom, the old Parker Brothers toy that was one of the first action figures to include electronic lights and sounds. He’s slated to be part of a shared cinematic universe that will also include the Micronauts, G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., and the Visionaries. It was assumed that Transformers would stay out of it, having previously announced plans for a spin-off universe of their own, and generally not needing the help. Even Age of Extinction, the lowest-grossing Transformers movie domestically (besides the animated one from the ’80s), raked in $1.1 billion worldwide, while the last G.I. Joe movie pulled in a ‘mere’ $375 million internationally. And yet: isn’t that how Marvel launched their cinematic universe? Using the popular character to segue into the riskier ones?”
Even if Rom isn’t happening, his iconography is being used. And as Rom is the least-known to the casual toy collector – aside from some convention exclusives, he hasn’t had a proper action figure of his own in decades – he is the one who needs the biggest push.
It’s time to transform him for the modern world…and roll out.

I'd suggest you all read the news we've been painstakingly posting, reporting and covering, before commenting in this manner.
The shared universe is not Bay's idea, it's Paramount and Hasbro's. The person in charge is Akiva Goldsman, and the various scripts that were suggested come from a team of writers. Bay has nothing to do with it until we know FOR CERTAIN that he's attached to a shared universe script.
Want to react superficially? Blame Goldsman. Not Bay.
Deadput wrote:Also who really cares about Rom the space Knight I mean really you expect him to get his own movie that people are going to pack into the theatre for?
A lot of people actually do. But not as much as the Transformers brand, which is why the piece suggested that ROM might be riding the coat-tails of TF until he's an established character.
Posted by ZeroWolf on June 8th, 2016 @ 2:27am CDT
@sirsoundwave this is likely the first of the hasbro expanded universe so all you need is general knowledge of the tf movies.

As for this deal with Rom, I have no idea who the character is so I won't say anything about it, but I think the writers should focus on putting out a quality Transformers script first, before they involve any characters from anywhere else.

To be fair the Burton movies didn't need a reboot (talking about the first two here, as for the other two, there was far too much meddling involved from outside sources), I never cared about the Nolan movies and i can't muster up any feeling about the new batman. There's not enough fun there.
That being said, if the hasbro universe is coming with the last knight then I think we can kiss any idea of a reboot away. Best we can get is if the movie designs started to change into what forms we like to see them in.

I take movies over animated series and comics any day in movies transformers are realistic looking and transform realistic unlike cartoon giant alien robot transforms into tape deck sound wave I'm naming and transformers going back in time dark ages frenzy riding one of seekers in jousting match , gridlock dressed as waiter serving spike, Carly , ultra Magnus and others with stupid looking mustache on his face in Dino mode, same can be said about comics there faces looking more human than robot most of time I feel reading Star Trek and Star Wars comics with characters transform in things

huh. well it's all about subjectivity and taste I guess. Transformers:Prime is my perfect incarnation of Transformers lore. conversely, Beast Wars does nothing for me, and I haven't managed to get into RID, but I know it's not my place to judge those that like them. Paths are different.
Did you watch TFP through? I'm on my like 10th run through the series and it's an absolute pleasure. imhmfo nothing else comes close to the development of the characters and stories we know and love, and it's so well written, in both its darkness and humour, regardless of it effectively being a show for kids. I even like the role of humans in it, there's a lot of love. I can't think of a better representation of Shockwave, Soundwave, Magnus, Arcee etc. To me it even trumps the comics, even the G1 Uk ones, which is saying something.
I'll always watch and find some love in the movies. I still rate the first one. But even with the poorer later ones, there're always some elements that are awesome to a TF fan, even if it's just the development of CGI tech (transformium transformations notwithstanding).. I've had to just accept that they're not going to be well written or directed as a coherent films, but ever the optimist (prime), I still live in hope.
cartoons, comics or films, suspension of disbelief is key. you're not going to enjoy anything without it.
Life is long. I envisage a full reboot in like 2025 or sumfing. which will be awesome. again. then everyone can be happy. x

I have not watched the original Knight Rider, so I can't really say I remember. But I did watch the new series that was out in 2008 I believe, and his attack mode was pretty sweet. and of all the car modes, this new Bee is looking really cool. I think they've been getting better as they go along honestly
