Wasn't expecting the Sweeps to be in this.

Reminds me of the DotM storybook that spoiled how we were finally going to have the satisfaction of seeing Herp and Derp die on the big screen!
...sigh.

Sweeps? I'm a little worried...

So… are the Decepticons going to be in this movie or not? I wouldn’t mind if they weren’t, but any news around their involvement is hazy at best (or information based on older versions of the film.)

I wouldn't as they could easily be referring to Scourges little gang and the name was dropped in a later version of the script.

Good, because the Terrorcons have nothing in common with the sweeps except the name of their leader. But then again, Terrorcons isn't such a fitting name either. Kind of cringe, really. I was hoping before the robot mode photos leaked that they would be animal-like in robot mode to fit with the beast theme (like a dragonlike scourge and obviously birdlike nightbird), so I have to say I'm kind of disappointed by these- knock off deceptions.

A thought just crossed my mind. The filmmakers might have gone with the bad guys in this movie being Terrorcons instead of Predacons just so that the use of "Terrorize" could make sense with the name of those who use it, reflecting the synergy between "Maximal" and "Maximize" that was always missing between "Predacon" and "Terrorize".

Oh I love this. It almost seems obvious now, and I’m gonna go ahead and anticipate this line in the movie. Definitely Scourge saying this as the final battle begins and the “characters on both sides begin battle by running towards each other across a massive field” scene happens.

Watch the after credits scene be BW Megatron investigating the scene of the last battle, murmuring to himself that he likes the 'terroize' phrase 
All jokes aside, I am expecting an after credits stinger of that type to set up the stand alone beast wars movie (assuming it hasn't been cleared off the internal slate)

Makes sense but I woul've prefered the Predacons to be called terrorcons other than this new team.

Very selectively, but the default color was black. and i think he looked much better in black anyways.
And on a technical side, at the time, red was a terrible color to film, so they used it as little as possible, hence the whole Prime with flames motif to provide some red while minimizing it

Also, we saw what he would look like in red and I personally preffer black for that character model.
Another point, him being black makes it a much bigger seperation from the G1 character, and G1 as a whole. He basically becomes a new character with just an homage to the G1 character. Bayformers becomes not really a take on G1 but a take on the Transformers brand in general (unlike Cyberverse or the IDW comics, or WFC, which feel more like a reimagining of G1 specifically)

We have more promotional images from the Taronga zoo featuring a really clear look at the maximals in beast mode. Some are even on giant panels made for selfies to be shared across the internet, making it slightly odd that these images are not more widely released to the public as this does feel like a full blown marketing campaign. Another interesting point is that in terms of deco, the image of Airazor looks a lot more like the Studio Series toy than the initial toy we had seen. That CG image of Airazor could very well be one of the assets Hasbro was given when working on the Studio Series toy. It's still to be seen, if this is the same look the character will have in the film itself. These images come from firebreaker_customs on Instagram.

I think I prefer the RotB Airazor to the SS one. The wings/shoulders look better as does the coloring.

Below you will see some new Rise of the Beasts art. They are character models of Scourge, Optimus Prime+Primal, Arcee and Bumblebee. Some come from apparel which Amazon listed too early (the listings have since been removed) and we also have two children's book covers (found here). This gives us the best look yet at Arcee and Scourge, though these may not be3 the final designs we see in the film.

So Arcee is confirmed a bike in ROTB. I thought she was going to be a classic car. But then I noticed that I got ROTB and the newest cartoon mixed-up.

Arcee has TransTech Cheetor feet.
