That was a really cute trailer, Bumblebee's design is a huge step-up while still being within the Bayformers aesthetic.

The trailer looks good. Looks like the movie will have a lot of heart to it. I'm curious why we haven't heard about this girl in the previous movies. So hopefully this will answer that question.

Perhaps the movie is told in flashbacks. Maybe the movie starts in present day. He sees the girl he knew but being a lot older. and he starts remembering the past?

Looks alright.

The brief Rickroll at the end was eye-rollingly funny

I'm kinda torn on this one, on one hand I do like the fact that Bumble Bee and Starscream have better designs compared to Bay's previous iteration(love the bee like eyes on Bumblebee and Starscream actually has some color to him) and I like how its a lot more smaller scale feel to it. However it does feel a bit repetitious that we are going to have to go through the whole "Kid befriends a monster and now the military is going after them" its kinda getting old for me.

I doubt they care at this point.

This one actually looks interesting compared to Bay's films. Kinda puzzling that they're not making this the first film of their announced reboot film series.

Given the 80s setting. And the new designs. I could see them rebooting Transformers this way. and and setting them up with a crossover like GI Joe.

This is the first time I've shown any interest in a Transformers movie, and a while in anything of the franchise since Animated. If this movie does well, I hope it encourages more people to check out his Laika work.

It's meant to be a a soft-reboot of sorts it seems. Close enough to the Bayformers look but enough different to be able to separate it from it. I'm guessing Hasbro is testing the waters for their Hasbro-verse movieverse, if this is a hit and is positively reviewed it will be totally separated from the Bayformers films and re-start the Transformers film franchise and begin the Hasbroverse. If the film doesn't do well and is badly reviewed we'll get a proper Transformers reboot eventually and they'll kind of package this movie with the rest of the Bayformers movies despite any continuity errors.

I'm not a transformers fan but I enjoyed the first movie. This movie looks to me exactly the same as all the other trailers for the other movies but then again I'm not a fan maybe I'm not able to appreciate the differences. I just don't want Power Rangers to become a part of the transformers universe, ugh which if Hasbro makes their movie verse it's going to happen, its the only property they have that is as big as Transformers.

Blitzwing....a name from long ago.
One of the few bootleg Transformers toy I have. It's actually pretty good, if it was not for the tight joints, which make him really hard to transform without breaking.

I heard the footage they showed. Shows a G1 Optimus Prime. But as a Hologram.

So, how this is related to Transformers movies?
Is that spin-off, reboot or all of the above?

Sorry for being slowpoke, just wasn't in tune with all this bayformers stuff.

I hope they do reboot the franchise, because the new trailer had me convinced this will be better than any of the previous movies.
