The battle on Earth is no longer just between Autobots and Decepticons… Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons join Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, in theatres June 24, 2022.

Returning to the action and spectacle that first captured moviegoers around the world 14 years ago with the original Transformers, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure and introduce the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons. Directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, the film arrives in theatres June 24, 2022.

Kinda Beast Wars adaption, huh?.

[Autbot_Benz]

Character reveals at the panel

Transformers characters discussed:
Main robot character ... is Optimus Prime, has a much more G1 flair. Cleaner look. Steven: "We are going G1 with Optimus Prime". Bringing the story back to see how (why?) Optimus Prime becomes the leader that we know. He's "new" to Earth. This film is forming why he wants to protect humans. Peter Cullen is returning as Optimus Prime.

Bumblebee as a Classic Z28 Camaro, but with an offroad kit on it. Literally called it Offroad Bumblebee.

Another Autobot ally ... Mirage is a silver Porsche 911 with blue detailing. Why not Jazz??? Rebel of the group. Anti-authority character. Lorenzo said Mirage has always been able to transform into other vehicles. Not sure what he was talking about? Mirage takes a prominence that is significant to the movie.

Arcee is 4th Autobot mentioned. Loyal soldier to Prime. Voice of reason. She transformers into a Motorcycle. Dakatti 916?

Another female Transformer is Nightbird. Vehicle form reminds me of Cybertron Runamuck. Transforms into a GTR. Still a ninja. Looks really cool. She's a Terrorcon. Lorenzo stated that she has had flexible allegiances in the past?

Different villain than Megatron. Big bad this time around is Scourge (but a different version than we've seen before). Leader of the Terrorcons. Looks like it might have a truck form or something. Large crane claw on left hand. Smokestacks behind shoulders with black smoke coming out of them. Sounds like a bounty hunter of sorts. Loves to collect Autobots and Maximals and tears off their faction symbols and wears them. Character design art by "Del Rio".

Beast Wars characters: Airazor. She's the heart of the Maximals. Rustic in design. Aged texture. Looks a bit rusty. Realistic mechanical beasts. Kind of gives me a Beast Machines vibe.

Rhinox is here as well. Looks like Headstrong. Likes to ram things. "Wants to use that horn!"

Optimus Primal as a gorilla. Has a traditional Maximal symbol on his chest. Not sure if that's final or not. Has hair on back of forearms and back of shoulders.

[IMJ]

Is this a live action movie or a cartoon?

[TigerClaw]

Is this a live action movie or a cartoon?
Its live action.

[sdp]

I think it's a mistake to brand it transformers, it might get less people to watch it instead of more if people are tired of the brand as movies. It also looks like they're trying to place it in continuity with the transformers live action movies (https://miscrave.com/articles/transformers-movies/), or is that going to be with Bumblebee?

[Andrew NDB]

Well, it's set in the 90s. Is there really any way to explain a "missing adventure" with the Transformers on Earth in between Bumblebee and the first Transformers movie?

[TigerClaw]

Also Beast Wars came out in the 90s, So it makes sense.

Well bumblebee is a separate continuity right? I haven't watched it, just watched all 5 of the original continuity last year.

And I'm sure if they really want they could do it, I mean each transformers movie added lore to the Earth of transformers doing **** despite no evidence in t he previous movies of it happening, so I don't see why it couldn't be done, it seems to be what the article implied. I'd prefer it on its own canon but whatever.

[Andrew NDB]

Well bumblebee is a separate continuity right? I haven't watched it, just watched all 5 of the original continuity last year.

I seem to remember it was, though their marketing seemed to pretend like it wasn't. Like, the director wanted to use Megatron but couldn't because of continuity issues with the first movie.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

No, afaik, Bumblebee was a sort of prequel to the first TF movie, in that it shows BB before Shia's character Sam ever found him in that used car lot. And it hinted at that at the end, too.

[Wildcat]

Beast Wars took place in the future so it’s not a 100% accurate adaptation but that’s ok. It’s my favorite TF series and I’m happy it’s finally getting to be part of the movies. I just hope the beast characters get enough attention.

Can’t wait to see the designs. I still have most of my BW toys. I know they’re gonna be different like that panel mentions but not a problem. I loved the TransMetal forms that came later in the cartoon.

You know what’s really weird? I’ve never seen reruns. I know it’s available online but it’s never gotten reruns in over 20 years? How’s that even possible? It had 3 seasons. 4 with Beast Machines which was a direct continuation.

[DarkFell]

It sounds like they made Rhinox a bit aggressive, whereas in Beast Wars, he was cool-headed most of the time. I was rather miffed at what happened to him in Beast Machines.

[Sumac]

Not really sure how they will explain co-existence of Prime and Primal and Autobots and Maximals in general.

Would be interesting to see some of the Predacons designs realized with the movie graphics though.

[ZariusTwo]

Bumblebee was the start of a new continuity

[Coola Yagami]

Bumblebee was the start of a new continuity

It's been so long I forgot who the villain was in that movie, other than I guess Cena, or at least I think John Cena was in it, I didn't see him.

[ZariusTwo]

It's been so long I forgot who the villain was in that movie.

Couple of random c-list Decepticons.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Bumblebee was the start of a new continuity


I heard that, but it seemed more like it was the set-up for the events in TF1. It even showed BB going from the bug to the Camero. Which tied into that scene in the first movie where he bashes the bug sitting next to him on the car sales lot. I mean, they can say it's a new continuity, but it didn't really seem like it. Mostly it fit right into the old one.

[Sumac]

It seems with Bumblebee they've tried to pull Fox's X-Men dis-continuity: things kind of canon in previous movies, until we feel like retconning **** out of them. Which considering how **** Bayformers story and continuity, which in different movies contradicted itself, it feels absolutely justified.

[Coola Yagami]

This one is most likely gonna suck too. I mean, Beast Wars characters should not be running around in modern day alongside the modern day Transformers.

[Autbot_Benz]

Ron Perlman is Optimus Primal he was the voice in the Power of The Primes cartoon

[AquaParade]

Optimus Primal was my guy. The "deluxe" figure of him was one of the coolest toys I ever owned. Since they went ahead and got Peter Cullen for Optimus Prime, I'm a little bummed they couldn't get the Beast Wars voice actor.

ya most Beast Wars fans wanted Gary Chalk he was Primal. But hopefully it turns out good.

Looks better than I thought it would be. Thought it was a full-on Beast Wars movie. Glad that it isn't.

And the robot modes do look better with each flick, although after almost 20 years of these movies I can't believe they still haven't gotten it perfect.

[Andrew NDB]

So this is or isn't in continuity with everything else? Is it at the very least a follow-up to Bumblebee?

[IMJ]

So this is or isn't in continuity with everything else? Is it at the very least a follow-up to Bumblebee?

Visually it looks like it should be a sequel to the new continuity by Bumblebee, unless this is a prequel like Bumblebee which sort of reveals that the Transformers were coming and going in their Earthly battle for decades before Bay's first flick.

Not sure how this and Bumblebee would rationalize the Dinobots though. And I never saw "The Last Knight" so although I like continuity these movies have become forgettable 2-hours of escapism for me.

Film said to be 'a mess'

Steven Caple Jr who directed Creed 2

[IMJ]

I have always enjoyed these flicks but at some point they have all begun to blend in together in my mind's eye.

I wouldn't mind sit through them all again - actually I think there might be two that I haven't seen. Or would I want to sit through them? I dunno. It would've helped if these had some kind of cohesive narrative. Or would it have helped?

:lol:

The Transformers movies just..... are.

[Sumac]

Film said to be 'a mess'
So the usual Transformers movie.
Guess, Bumblebee was a fluke.

[The Deadman]

[ZariusTwo]

The inclusion of THAT character is giving me serious "Out of the Shadows" vibes.

And depending on your point of view, that might not be a good thing.

Like, if they were just going to go with this one ensemble film on from Last Knight, why have Bumblebee reboot from Bay at all?

[Autbot_Benz]

Was not expecting Unicron. I still with Rattrap was in it though.

[TigerClaw]

Was not expecting Unicron. I still with Rattrap was in it though.
The inclusion of Unicron means that they are ignoring the continuity of the Bay movies, The Last Knight was setting up Unicron as the Earth, And now we have a Unicron whose approaching the Earth.

This is a sequel to Bumblebee which is a reboot of the franchise.

That's a great point. Because up until now Bumblebee was a canon (messy canon) prequel to the original flicks.

Truth is that the Transformers movies are a continuity and story mess. "Trapped on Earth". Except not. Optimus arrives from space in some strange form in the first movie and because a semi.

Except that he was a semi before in Bumblebee. eh.

[jignat]

TF and TMNT both mostly have bad theatrical movies, but it seems TF is beginning to pull itself out of the gutter.
Can TMNT do the same?

[IMJ]

I think the sci-fi robot death-match and rampant city destruction pulls in more general public support as "spectacle" than Turtles doing karate. And while you always need to appeal to your base-fans as grassroots support, it's the general public that pushes these theatrical numbers over the top.

Just got back from the movie

With a plot lifted from a thousand Playstation games, the film crams a lot into it's run time, a lot of characters that are set up early are dropped in favour of moving Noah from A to B in very short order. The only reason his brother's illness is even a thing is for a pay-off at the very end when the Joes promise to take care of his health issues, but even that didn't seem necccersary.

I thought Airazor might have been revived like Bee was with the Energon Jesus Juice, but nope. Guess that makes yet another Transformers franchise that just does away with her. She was killed while in her Tigerhawk form back in Beast Wars as well.

The Maximals got short-changed. Primal I don't think had much of an arc, him cooperating with humans does more to serve Prime's story. Prime and Noah's parallel journeys complimented the other, I liked that Noah had an ulterior motive to help the Autobots, planning to betray them and destroy the transwarp key...but I wish his change of heart didn't have to involve Prime pleading with him not to take action.

I still think they should have kept Unicron out of the trailers, it sets fans up for disappointment in that you never see his alt mode, and his VA is no Orson Wells and comes off as too basic in performance. I did like it when he 'tortured' Scoruge though, reminded me of the animated movie.

Bee samples some of Leonard Nimoy for one line, and Roddy Piper for another.



Mirage merging with Noah had me a little perplexed, then I remembered mass shifting and was glad someone remembered it also.



The Terrorcons were too undercooked, Scourge might as well have been the only one there, he's also the only one who gets to inflict major damage on both Autobot and Maximal

[TheCanadiandrome]

I’m excited to see this

So is there any continuity at all anymore in these movies? Or are they just rebooting every flick as a different period piece now?

[TheCanadiandrome]

I feel the previous movie before this one had continuity

[Sumac]

I feel the previous movie before this one had continuity
Bumblebee was supposed to be a prequel, but due to low box office of Bayformers and they continuity being a cluster**** it was made into a reboot.

[ZariusTwo]

So is there any continuity at all anymore in these movies? Or are they just rebooting every flick as a different period piece now?

I don't know why they set it in the 1990s...it didn't 'feel' like it was shot in the 90s one bit, and the hip hop 90s soundtrack they played is pretty much stuff that's played all the time in modern day anyway. Other than that and an MMPR t-shirt worn by the younger brother, it plays like any other 21st century movie. There's not that much in the way of 90s fashion either.

[IMJ]

There are a lot of continuity subtleties across these films that are questionable. But then you have some continuity disasters, such as in the first Transformers movie they literally show Optimus Prime crashing to Earth in a strange, skeletal form before taking on the modern Truck with flames. But in Bumblebee, 20 years earlier they show Prime in his 80's truck form already on Earth. And then you have the whole Starscream thing, and characters appearing or dying across timelines.

There's more, but it can even be hard to track because the continuity is so messy.

[ZariusTwo]

Bumblebee rebooted the timeline.

[IMJ]

Bumblebee rebooted the timeline.

So basically Bumblebee was a "hard" reboot and this new movie is in continuity with that?

And the original Bay timeline ended with The Last Knight?

Yeah, Last Knight ended with the reveal Unicron was the Earth, but they've abandoned that with Rise of the Beasts and established Unicron is a planetoid Transformer separate from Earth

[Coola Yagami]

Yeah, Last Knight ended with the reveal Unicron was the Earth

SAY WHAT????? :o:o:o

Just like Star Trek, one giant cluster f**k lol

[ZariusTwo]

Same also as with Armada/Energon

SAY WHAT????? :o:o:o

This take on Unicron actually originated in the cartoon Transformers: Prime and worked it's way into the Last Knight due to Kurtzman being involved with both

Star Trek is very simple. Real Trek ended in 2005. Nothing afterward matters, except Picard season 3 being mostly in-line with at least the TNG movies.

I don't think it is an opinion majority would share, sadly.

[ZariusTwo]

Star Trek didn't so much as end as just fizzle out in 2005. The last time the original hot streak had a big climatic moment was the end of Deep Space Nine in 1999

[TigerClaw]

I saw it yesterday and enjoyed it, I'm very excited about the future of the Transformers franchise after that surprise ending.
Noah Diaz goes to a job interview for what looked like a security job, And then finding out he's being recruited by the GI Joe, It appears that they know about the Transformers, and they are recruiting him because they know they would be a great help against this ongoing war between them against Cobra, and the Decepticons.

That's kind of interesting.....
Certainly seems like they dragged these things out long enough before doing this. That 1st Joe flick was absolutely horrible in every conceivable way. The 2nd one wasn't all there yet, but definitely closer to the mark in every way.

They just need to go grassroots and literally place the 80's properties on-screen almost 1:1.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Like I said, a giant cluster f*ck that doesn’t make sense unless you’re a hardcore Trekkie lol

This we can agree on

The ending of Voyager was kinda epic

[Andrew NDB]

The ending of Voyager was kinda epic

It seems that way in hindsight. But have you watched that episode in a while? It's actually fairly small in scope. The Queen never leaves 1 room and only is lecturing evilly. The Future Janeway stuff is interesting, I guess.

Be that as it may, and no haven’t seen it recently, it still holds up all these years later, I just found that in terms of Trek, Voyager had an epic ending compared to most Trek shows which, imo, kinda seems anticlimactic or just plain bad.

[ZariusTwo]

The ending of Voyager was kinda epic

I...wouldn't go that far. The whole time Admiral Janeway had one over the Borg Queen and Voyager took out the one Borg vessel from the rear with a few photons. Then the crew barely react to returning home. Hardly epic.

[IMJ]

Yeah I never honestly thought Voyager had the final season or final episode payoffs that it should have given the show.

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah I never honestly thought Voyager had the final season or final episode payoffs that it should have given the show.

There was reportedly a great deal of creative struggles behind the scenes that forced Ronald D Moore to quit the show, a lot of what he wanted to do with Voyager ended up being used in his version of Battlestar Galactica

Also, one of the show's two-parters, "Year of Hell" was at one point supposed to run a whole season

[Andrew NDB]

Be that as it may, and no haven’t seen it recently, it still holds up all these years later, I just found that in terms of Trek, Voyager had an epic ending compared to most Trek shows which, imo, kinda seems anticlimactic or just plain bad.

That's the reason I ask. Because for me, in my head I remembered the VOY series finale being super explosive and epic and all these things... until I rewatched it many years later. It's not a bad series finale, per se, but suddenly I realized how small and kinda cheap they went with it. It makes me kind of pissed now, honestly.

[IMJ]

The Year of Hell episodes and basically any episode that involved Starfleet somehow were always really, really good. But Voyager had a lot of uninteresting stuff going on. The Delta Flyer racing episode was pretty good.

[TheCanadiandrome]

What I was sayin is that Voyager was one of the few Trek shows that actually had a somewhat descent ending that didn’t leave fans scratching their heads going “that’s it?!” Cause let’s face it, TOS, TNG, Enterprise kinda just seemed like they ended on either a real bad cliff hanger or just ended on acount of being canceled. Even DS9 was anticlimactic. Any ways it’s kinda my fault this turned into a Trek discussion, sorry y’all lol

Time to call Bay back?

[IMJ]

The problem here is that the Transformers movie "universe" is a mess.
They need to do a 100% hard reboot and skin the Transformers so that they look like the robot-modes from the cartoon, use somewhat appropriate vehicles and give the actual Transformers stronger character arcs instead of giving all of the development to the humans.

I was happily surprised by the end and Noah was a good character I wanted him to destroy the half of the key. I was surprised Mirage got such a big role, but he seemed to out bumble the Bee in this one. I tried watching it while going to bed and ended up watching the whole movie lol

Even if it was a missed opportunity to get the voice actors from the cartoon, it’s like they didn’t even care to try. At least get Optimus Primals voice actor

[Sumac]

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Throughout this years they've proven, they don't really care about any semblance of continuity between the movies or character arcs.
They just blockbusters about robots tearing each other apart and some ****** human drama.

The problem, that robots tearing each other apart becomes less and less interesting from one movie to the other and human drama, stays consistently ****** and boring throughout the years.

I say, I take one single Pacific Rim over 5-6 TF movies.

[DarkFell]

The first Pacific Rim movie was pretty good. I wasn't as taken with the sequel though.

Unfortunately, I lost interest in the later Transformers movies. The fighting scenes were so littered with CGI that it became difficult for me to distinguish the bots from each other, from the background itself, etc.
