Transformers: Rise of the Beasts BIG GAME Spot Available Now!

Honestly, while I don't really care much either way, it really feels like an extra troll move to read this from paramount:

"It’s time to shift into high gear. Mirage makes his debut as a legendary 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts"

Like, the reason why the Porsche car is legendary among transformers fans is because of a different character.

But anyways, the Flash is where all the superbowl talk will be centered around, WOW

I am quite happy with Mirage, I am happy with him. I think i am going to enjoy this movie.

that shot of Bee with the wings was really neat. I liked that.

Personally, this make the movie special.

I like Mirage. Aside from the wrong alt mode he's definitely not first movie Jazz.

Well, among those not boycotting it over Ezra Miller. Hopefully they never make another movie again and fades away into obscurity before they hurt anyone else or worse, they should have been locked up a long time ago. The film industry, particularly Warner, has only enabled their behavior and crimes. I'll be watching the movie to support the best Batman, not that loser.

Well that trailer was a huge let down. I do hope that the plane is Stratosphere and that we will see a commander class toy of him though. I am still really pumped for this movie and excited to get all of the new toys!

Porsche is a make, not a model.

G1 Jazz was a Porsche, but he was not a 911. Jazz was a 935 sporting an adaptation of the world famous Martini racing livery - which is cool, but probably not "legendary".

By comparison, the 911 was voted into the top 5 most influential cars of the 20th century (1st was the Model T) and was the only one of the 5 besides the VW Beetle that was still in production when the century ended. It has had a huge presence on streets and race tracks alike. I imagine when Hasbro calls the car legendary, that's the vitae they are referring to.

I believe IDW revamped Jazz as a 911 in their 2005 series, maybe, but that sort of proves the point - reinventing/updating Jazz involved giving him one of the most iconic car models of all time.

RotB Mirage will actually be the first Transformer based on a 911 to recieve a toy, I think, as well as the first one to do so with the official Porsche license.

I feel like transformers keeps getting sloppy, with trying to appeal to g1 fans and bay fans. I'm exited for rotb but because of things like wheeljack looking like a nerd, bumblebee being a Camaro again, and the jazz/mirage stuff, I feel like i wont be satisfied with the end of the film no matter what happens. Maybe Transformers should try something new, and I get that with rotb we finally get a break from bumblebee and we get the beasts, but really? FIVE factions? Just try to make a new thing, with like the story of Diaclone and Microchange or something.

6-7 million for that

If you don't want to be spoiled in any way then please, DO NOT READ THIS.
There were rumoured to be more tests screenings of Transformers Rise of the Beasts back in December. This was kept on the low since it was unverified. However, the shot of Bumblebee on the cargo plan that we saw in the Superbowl spot was specifically stated in the description of those screenings. So, we are giving you all that info now, for those who want as much of info as possible.

It was said that they were testing out different scenes with different audiences so the scenes and plot points mentioned below may be different from what we ultimately see in the film (which is also an easy out if all this is just made up). To preserve anonymity, the source will not be mentioned.

Final Action Scene with Bumblebee as One Man Army: In the final action scene, Mirage, Noah and Elena are racing across a bridge as the Terrocons and their army are overpowering all the good guys. At this point, Bumblebee drops from the cargo plan transformer when all hope seems lost and lays waste to the Terrorcon army.

Bumblebee and Mirage both get close to death: Bumblebee is "mortally" wounded but is brought back (as we can see from the scene previously discussed). Mirage is also brought very close to death. As he is about to die, he gives Noah an "exosuit" which contains his essence and later we see Noah fixing up a Porsche 911 which transforms back into Mirage right before the credits. there is a scene prior to Noah fixing the car where he is recruited by Sector 7.

This last bit brings back something we have been stressing a lot lately to temper expectations. While this film might not tie to previously established storylines of the other films, it can still carry over any element from them as well. In this case, sector 7. Of course, this scene may not be in the final cut.

i know its a test screening. but bb is a one man army? yey...

I want this movie to be good, I really do, but both of those just sound boring asf.

I guess I shouldn't have said boring, I should've said "Same-feeling." It feels like for some reason, there's no stakes, again. Oh Bumblebee is about to die? Psych he's fine. Oh Mirage is about to die too? Nah, he's fine too. I just feel like all these movies are rehashes of the same plot points and it's getting a little boring.

New posters:

A ton of movie news came out all at once and we grouped it all here in one big post.

Below you will find images of the following:

- New character based posters for Optimus, Mirage and Primal
- A standee showing the heroes (from Dominic on Twitter)
- Statues of Primal and Prime from a Porsche event with the cast, director and producers

Those statues will be touring, here are the dates of their next appearances, thanks to Paramount ROTB app:

North America
April 24 – May 8 | Las Vegas, Nevada (Cinemacon)
May 16-26 | Chicago, Illinois (Navy Pier)
June 2-8 | New York, New York (Times Square)

South America
March 15 | Brazil

Asia
March 16 | Singapore
Early August | Japan

i guess these go to the theme park after this? what do they do with these things?

Mirage and Primal look really sexy in those posters

Wasn't Lorenzo di Bueno Adventura the dude that consistantly ruined the Transformers movies?

Why is he still there?

Yes, but it's also him who pushed for these movies to happen. That's the reason he was inducted into the TF hall of fame.

What are all the characters in the movie? I Hope Dinobot.

Prepare for disappointment, then.

The beasts in this poster are the only maximals in the film

While we got a good look at most of the main players of the upcoming Transformers Rise of the Beasts characters, Nightbird and Wheeljack (along with the robot modes for Airazor, Rhinox and Cheetor) have been held back by the movie promotion so far. Well, we finally have our first lookn at some NIghtbird art. It is indeed very close to the deluxe we had seen before but sleeker. Of course, the deluxe figures have had differences to the final model used in the film so we will see just how much this one differs to the final version later. This art is probably what will appear on her toy's box as we also have the images for the other characters and it is of the art found on their box. You can spot the changes to their original renders and their final looks. Enjoy and let us know what you think. These all come from fc203 on Instagram.

Got a couple more for you, here’s Stratosphere and Transit!




Really dig both of these! Transit in particular looks super cool!

Many fans were wondering if Wheeljack being absent from some marketting artwork meant something. Well, Takara has now revealed his movie look officially, along with our first look at Stratosphere and a brand new Terrorcon we didn't know of yet, Transit. We thank EvasionModeBumblebee for letting us know of these additions to the previously reported character models. Once again, we do not know how different this artwork will be to the final look of these characters in the film.

Stratosphere's face looks more like Wheeljack than Wheeljack's...

Transformers and uncharted xover sully…

I think Stratosphere looks cool, especially in alt-mode. Very interested in seeing what his toy'll look like if he does get one.
Transit looks interesting as well, if a bit less striking than Stratos.

Stratosphere looks awesome. He appears to take inspiration from the ROTF namesake character as well as ROTF Highbrow with that alt mode and head design. Moustache is a hilarious touch.

Looking at Wheeljack's whole design, it looks good. I'm still not too sure about the head, but within the context of the whole body it doesn't look as off-putting.

I like how Transit looks, too! Too bad there's no alt-mode picture, I can't really tell what he turns into. With a name like that I would think some sort of Taxi or something. These designs seem very lively and characterful. They all deserve some good toys, which I look forward to. It should be easy to follow them on-screen, too.

Played by Mark Wahlberg, lol

Stratosphere looks like Baynus poop on a bad day. Transit looks pretty good, hope the vehicle mode is too.

While the designs for ROTB are holding onto a lot of the trends I didn't like from BB, there are a few bot designs for this one that I really like.

While I do prefer Bee's 2007 76 Camaro design to ROTB, I do like the ROTB design more than his BB look. The door wings help the look a lot, and I like the more angular leg design. It's a compromise between Bayverse and BB design that I'm ok with.

Battletrap is very nicely detailed with a cool head sculpt, I do wish his legs were bulkier but I dig it overall.

Stratosphere is a cool new take on the character, he has some nice design carry-overs from the ROTF version - he has the alt mode canopy on his forehead, and he's still a Cargo Aircraft used by the USAF. I'm not as fond of humanoid faces on Transformers, but I like the whole pilot cap thing. The way the alt mode propellor blades wrap around the engines in robot mode is cool!

Transit may be my favorite design of the bunch, I think he'd fit in really nicely in a collection of Bay Decepticons (the highest award I can bestow a Transformers design post-Bayverse). The level of detail on him is great, my only concern is that if he transforms into a Bus, much like Mirage, he doesn't seem to have a level of robot mode bulk that corresponds to that kind of alt mode.

Decidedly "meh" on Wheeljack, not because he doesn't look G1, but I'm not sold on the look yet. Might just be a bad pose for him.

I LOVE Stratosphere. Just an amazing design. The props on the back could allow for flight in robot mode.

Not sure I knew about Transit, but very sweet bot mode. Is a Lambo?

Wheeljack's design would be better off as literally someone like Perceptor or Huffer, my god how do you go from the Bumblebee design to Autobot Urkel? I ain't even saying that because of G1 (despite the inconsistency where all the other Autobots look reminiscent of classic designs even Stratosphere looks like an older man and vehicle version of his ROTF toy character with similar body proportions where the wings and cockpit end up, etc) but just by sheer downgrading his look from how he looked in the film before, why did Optimus, Bee and Arcee get to stay consistent but not him? It screams like a Lorenzo decision to make him look like Live action Donatello glasses and all much like how Que being Albert Einstein was a Spielberg call.

Nightbird's definitely cool while that Scourge render is unflattering, Optimus Primal robot mode is just Prime, love it.

Stratosphere looks pretty cool though even with the moustache I don't care that much either way for robot facial hair in the franchise, him being voice by John DiMaggio in addition to his colors and head design with goggles makes me think he's Crosshair's Grandpappy, must of taken the Paratrooper look in honor of him.

Transit looks wicked, could the head design be less insect like? Yeah, but it still looks wicked as hell and reminds me of Brimstone (the motorcycle one) from one of the movie toylines.

That also gives the leaks that talked about him by name a lot more credit although I recall the leak describing him as a School Bus and not a City one but overall it's still accurate, him being marked as a Terrocon on that wallpaper is probably more so for marketing purposes since he's apparently the only proper Decepticon in the film in addition to being this film's version of Blitzwing in being an opening hour character meant to get killed.

Turns into a bus like this one hence the amount of wheels, I believe this is a picture of the exact vehicle from the set.

Interesting that Transit has a Decepticon insignia on his head, but is marketed as a Terrorcon? Wondering if this is just for the sake of marketing consistency, or something to do with the plot.

Well, remember how AOE marketed all of its bad guy robots as Decepticons when neither Lockdown nor any of the KSI Prototypes were really Decepticons in the movie.

That’s a good point. In the end, Galvatron was the only true Decepticon present. My theory is that the Bots have been tracking down Decepticon scouts since the BB movie (in anticipation of a Con Armada), and perhaps this particular scout found his way to the ancient(?) faction of Terrorcons, and fell in with Scourge.

All speculation of course, but I look forward to seeing him in action either way (and maybe in toy form).

Current scuttlebutt is that Transit gets Blitzwing'd early on in the movie, remaining the only true Decepticon in the movie before getting the ax.

Ooh, that's different! Even if he turns out to be a minor role, it's cool that there could finally be a bus Transformer.

Does he come with bubblegum stuck to his feet?

Maybe he survives....



...until Bonecrusher, that is...

I have came to terms very long ago, with the fact, that the live action movies and movie designs are not made for me. With the exception of the first 4 minutes of Bumblebee, then Bee himself in it. Transit is kinda cool looking though and I dont remember ever having a bus alt mode, so that is something. Also Prime, Primal and Bee look real good.

Stormshot_Prime wrote:Interesting that Transit has a Decepticon insignia on his head, but is marketed as a Terrorcon? Wondering if this is just for the sake of marketing consistency, or something to do with the plot.

Weren't the terrorcons initially described as a third faction made up of bots that started as either Decepticon or Autobot?

Nightbird being a Decepticon defector is something I recall from somewhere so it's possible that also applies to other Terrocons but we'll see.
