Not the first time it’s happened. I still remember watching the SFX section of the first movie and of course the main animator that’s interviewed was someone who looks like a stereotypical transformers nerd. Over weight, glasses, transformers shirt and a desk that is engulfed in toys and what’s right in front of them all? Fansproject city commander.

Did Alpha Trion have a premonition that Optimus would eventually need to travel to another planet and blend in with the fleshling's delivery vehicles? Just because we didn't question 1980's cartoon logic doesn't mean I won't question 2019 movie logic. ILM designers have gotten criminally lazy since GL sold them off.
They don't look specifically like truck windows to me.

Maybe you're interpreting the shapes that way because we know he eventually gains his truck alt mode.

Great work Jon! Also great work in Bumblebee! Your Shockwave and Soundwave were spot on! My friends really thought that was Corey Burton and Frank Welker! I said “no! That’s the guy who does the voice in Homest Trailers and he actually played Optimus Prime in a cartoon!” It blew their mind.

I've really fallen in love with the designs used in the movie. The Cybertron scenes are great live action FOC designs, and the Earth designs are great. I love Shatter and Dropkick, Decepticons done much better justice, and wholly original! Dropkick is unhinged and Shatter just oozes Decepticon when she speaks

Why is nobody bitching about this? All you see is everybody bitching about SJW Star Wars & Captain Marvel but Bumblebee gets a free pass? Why is nobody talking about women pushing their BS here? Who cares if a male or female is a mechanic? Seriously! It doesn't matter if you have a penis or a vagina to fix cars. This world is getting more ridiculous & insane by the hour.

Fanwrok is not newsworthy but this was pushed by Paramount and features the same voice actor they picked for their film. If we news Christmas messages from the beast wars cast then newsing this too makes sense.

I fail to see why this is a problem.
Ok, feminists & SJW's, we get it, women can do stuff. Newsflash: NOBODY CARES!
Considering women have been subjugated for centuries, and continue to do so because a lot of young women are growing up without any strong female role models in media ... a lot of people care.
Just because you don't doesn't make it fact.
Now please stop shoving it in our face.
But it's okay for you to shove your opinion back? hmmmm....
Transformers is a BOYS toy line, it was originally for MALES.
Yes and Barbie was aimed at girls, but hey, here's a shocker, boys play with them too!
You know what toys are for? A child's imagination. A boy could take a Barbie doll and pretend it's anything but a Barbie doll, just like a girl can take a Transformer and pretend it's something else as well. Honestly, what you just said is so narrow minded.
Now piss off & go back to where you belong & make a Strawberry Shortcake or Rainbow Brite movie for FEMALES. Jeez, enough is enough.

Dude he’s a troll. He jumps sites to start arguments because he gets off on it.
Guys. If you see MisfireAimless post just ignore it.
He’s got a rep on tfw2005 and here for starting arguments and then just watches. Just ignore him. Don’t reply, argue and counter what he says. Threads have had to be deleted due to him: just don’t fuel it

He’s bad. I don’t get it. I understand if you feel you have something to say but as long you keep it civil and make it a friendly debate which I can get behind but he just starts fires about any subject and for the Hell of it watches from a distance.

As a fan of all these franchises as well, I do not like the direction Disney is going with SW, but not because of female characters, its just because TLJ was a genuinely bad film. Captain Marvel was pretty meh...but not because its a female lead film, but because IMHO Brie Larson really isn't a great actress. Bumblebee on the other hand was a genuinely fun, and enjoyable movie. It isn't perfect, but there is very little to complain about. Hailee Steinfeld , John Cena & the supporting cast did very well.
If you take issue with some of the comments made by Christina Hodson, I would say, don't worry about it. It is a great movie because EVERYONE involved seemed to really care, regardless of gender.
Also I imagine in the near future Screen Junkies will likely do an Honest Trailer for Bumblebee (Voiced By Jon Bailey)...will it be newsed as well? ...actually thinking about it, they might not, since they actually like the film
Posted by Sabrblade on April 5th, 2019 @ 10:05am CDT

Guys, as I wrote above, the reason this was newsed was because it was Officially sponsored by paramount, making this an extension of Bumblebee's official marketting campaign so it is newsed as any other official marketting is newsed.
If there are no official ties, it stays on the boards like everything else.

For the next Transformers are you looking for new directors or hoping you can still make Michael Bay an offer?
I think Bay has made it really clear that he loved what he did and he’s not doing anymore. So I think the answer is we’re writing a script. At that point, once we get script we have a strong belief in, then we’ll begin to debate that. Michael’s made it really clear that he didn’t want to do it. I don’t blame him. He spent a hell of a lot, a decade of his life, shooting them.
Are you developing a script that picks up where The Last Knight left off?
No.

People are jumping to conclusions again. All that is said is they are not picking up where the previous one left off, which we reported multiple times. Doesn't mean Bayverse is dead or anything like that, just that they wont follow up on the Unicron thing. Its still a Transformers sequel and another addition to the existing franchise.

No no no, I meant that Bay isn't directing in the franchise anymore. I don't really care if the Bayverse/Movieverse continues or not.

Hailee Steinfeld wasn't signed on for the role just because she was a female,they made her the main character because of her performance in the movie Just Past 17. That was a coming of age story, and so is Bumblebee so they saw her as a perfect fit. Also, I guess Paramount may have decided to make a Strong Female lead, after the previous movies treated women like sex objects.I mean in the first one the objectification of women wasn't super bad but in subsequent movies, especially RoTF yeeaahh... Anyway I think it was a good choice.

I see, yeah that could be good. My only problem is that a story about Bay saying "no more TF films" is the most non-news ever. It doesn't mean anything anymore. And this is not even coming from him.

I know we should ignore and move on, but this really, really bothers me. Why? Because not to terribly long ago, it would have been me. Sometimes looking in a mirror, even if the objects aren't as close as they appear, can really suck. Having kids changed me, and my outlooks, quite a bit, and I struggle every day to make sure I'm showing them a proper example of how to human. I fail quite a bit, but I still keep trying. The quoted post? A perfect example of how to damage your kids with toxic attitudes.

So Paramount sponsoring this makes its, um, "officialness" about equal to that of the Mosaics Hasbro approved? That's the only comparable example that springs to mind.

It's actually called The Edge of Seventeen. Great movie. Outstanding acting from Hailee Steinfeld.
