According to a new article from Comicbook.com some customers who received their Transformers Bumblebee 4K Ultra HD DVD's have been reporting audio sync issues where the sound is not matching the picture. Paramount has received enough complaints to issue a formal statement which follows:

"In response to Bumblebee UHD’s picture and audio sync issues being observed on some playback platforms, we have determined we can tighten their alignment to remedy the audio sync lag issue. Audio sync lag was observed primarily with the English ATMOS track, but we are addressing all the audio tracks on the disc regardless. The majority of consumers may never notice the sync issue, but unfortunately, the audio sync lag is exacerbated by viewing the film via the “ARC” (Audio Return Channel) port on TVs that output to a sound-bar or receiver. Compliance amongst TV manufacturer ARC implementation is not standardized, thus different set-ups will exhibit different and varying playback behavior, even if played back on the same set-up multiple times. A replacement disc is already ready that will align the picture and audio sync better, but do note, it still may not remedy all the ARC playback set-ups in the market – we suggest consulting your manufacturer’s documentation on how to align picture and audio sync if still experiencing lag."

The article further states that faulty DVD's are encouraged to include their shipping information and mail their defective UHD discs to the below address to receive the replacement disc free of charge.

Good thing I bought the movie on Blu-ray. I have no reason yet to buy a UHD player or a collection of UHDs to support it.

Dang, good to know. I might just get it for the day I get a UHD player :)

Some fun news for Friday. There is a listing right now on a Facebook truck selling group for the 87 Freightliner cab used as Optimus Prime's truck mode at the end of the Bumblebee movie. There is a lot of fun to be had with this listing like how to us this is a movie prop while to the seller, it's a truck that needs some work done:

I have zero clue on the total miles. It's got 85k on an overhaul without paperwork. New front rear end. New air compressor as of 2/23/20.
This truck was featured in the ending scene of the motion picture Bumblebee, so it is the legitimate Optimus Prime.
Ok, now here's what it needs: new driver's side door, some fenders, lower section of the grill.


The statement of the paintjob not being stellar also gave me a good chuckle. It seems truck fans and transformers toys fans have quite a bit in common.

You can find the listing here.

Just imagine if an expert in metal working and hydraulics, owner of a massive scrapyard bought this truck. Then not only he rework the cab, but customize the trailer so that it can transform into the "base", complete with the "repair arm" and Roller....

I guess Optimus received some battle damage and is in need of some repairs. It appears he is locked in Alt Mode, so probably needing a new transformation cog too.

Does it come with the Trailer ;) . That seems like a fair price. Too bad I don't have the cash, and even if I did, I live in a small court, would have no place to park it.

Step 1: win lottery.
Step 2: Buy Optimus Prime truck.
Step 3: Refurbish trailer into display cases with secondary door.
Step 4: make money as a traveling Transformers action figures museum.

They should donate it to Takara so that they have something to reference when making toys of it.

Oh I think :TAKARATOMY: can design Optimus Prime just fine (mostly), it is :HASBRO: that doesn't much care to do OP justice, in terms of toy concepts/designs AND character consistency especially during the Bayverse-era at least.

And no, I don't mean to bash Bayverse toys/concept designs, I do own most of the main live-action casts and I truly admire the complex engineering of them, but to this day I still don't relate the designs/personalities to the characters I grow up. OP is downright a stone cold hater-murderer. Hasbro/Knight did make things right for me in the Bumblebee movie though.

Then Netflix WFC happened...

I hope whoever buys this truck aprecciates its history as Optimus Prime.

So does this mean we won't see that Beewun design in whatever the new TF movie is going to be?

Probably more like they'll actually properly buy a truck for it, rather than rent one like they did with this one. I imagine he'll even still probably be a Freightliner, maybe with some changes.

Where is all the chrome parts from the movie. And this truck has three grab bars in the movie he only has 2 and doesn't have the visor. This might be a decepticon.

I found where Optimus is being stored! Type in those coordinates on Google Earth and you’ll see him in the satellite image, but when you go to street view, you won’t see him because street view isn’t as up to date as the satellite image. But, he’s there!

That stuff was probably all just CGI’ed in.

None of it was CGI. The truck had a big ugly visor when it arrived in California. I gave Paramount permission to discard it for the movie. When it returned home to Nebraska, it had no visor. As an actual truck driver, not a fanboy, I needed a visor so I ordered one from RLK Customs. As for the grab handles, the driver's side of a truck is the working side. It has the 3 grab handles. The passenger side still only has the two.
Yes, this is my truck and it is still for sale.
