Beast Wars was great. Beast Machines is best left forgotten. Is Bay coming anywhere near this one?

Thankfully no

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

So is this gonna have Rattrap and Cheetor and those dudes? The normal series sucks but Beast Wars slaps and I'd love to watch an updated take on it.

Can we just put the Fast and Furious franchise and Transformers out of their misery please.

Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Officially Announced

Today, TFW2005 got invited to a special announcement event by Paramount Pictures. During the event, we were briefed on... Transformers: Rise of the Beasts The 7th live-action movie by Hasbro, eOne, and Paramount Pictures. Release date : June 24 - 2022 The events of the movie will take place in...

news.tfw2005.com

This story continues the 2018 Bumblebee movie. Set in 1994.

But as always, the story is tied to human civilization. This time we have Incas. Their traditions and way of life is explored through Cybertronian eyes. Speaking on which…

Maximals and Predacons will be prominently featured in the movie. Also, we will see Terrorcons. Predacons and Terrorcons are not allies. Terrorcons are the main baddies. Predacons are reptilian in nature and are the enemies of the Maximals. Meanwhile, Terrorcons are a threat to them all, but more in opposition to the Autobots.

Optimus Prime is the lead character and his alt mode is an upgraded version of the G1 look from the Bumblebee movie. Think Bee Movie earth mode, with a gray torso, gray windshield flaps, and grey upper shoulder parts that lead into the smokestacks. Peter Cullen will once again resume his voice acting duties. This will show how Optimus becomes the leader he was in Bay movies. Why does he have connection to Earth, humans.

Bumblebee is a classic Camaro with off-road extensions. 2nd gen 70s camaro, raised, z/28 badging, external framing, chunky wheels, light bar on top a la Ratchet.

Mirage is a silver and blue Porche 911. His characterization is similar to AOE Crosshairs. Anti-Authority. Can transform into multiple types of vehicles. RE: Multi Vehicles – not sure if they were talking his history in brand or actually in this movie.

Arcee‘s robot mode is close to G1 and is a Ducati 916 motorcycle. Red with rose/pink and white highlights. Classic head. Ducati bike. Racing number on leg.

Nightbird is included as a Nissan GTR. She is also a Terrorcon. Purplish grey in color. She is a modernized version of the G1 character of the same name. Facemask with robo looking hood. Switched sides, allegiances are flexible.

Scourge is the leader of Terrocons and is a trophy hunter. Like Lockdown from AOE. When he kills, he rips the faction insignias and “tattoos” them into his body. 4 smokestacks on back, all smoking. Claw hand with electricity. Black/grey tone with orange pops. Not Black Convoy looking, but probably a truck due to smokestacks in art.

Airazor is a robotic bird. Rusty bird mode, steampunk esque. Silhouette is very real world bird, but plated/layered. Looks old, been here a bit. Blue glowing eyes.

Rhinox… well, needs no introduction. also very Rhino shaped, plated, also steampunk and rusty. Ironhide like, wants to use his horn. Again, looks old, like old metal, been here a bit.

Fans have seen Optimus Primal before. Remember the TLK CGI Concept art? Yep. But with much more fur. He’s the leader of the Maximals and is very protective of those who are under his protection. You don’t mess with Primal. Rusty under frame, looks like random patches of skin and fur layered on top. Like he’s been through some stuff. He is leader of Maximals, equal in stature to Prime.

Dominique Fishback – Elena – Researcher of artifacts, works at museum, boss keeps stealing her thunder.

Anthony Ramos – Noah – father figure to brother. Ex military. Trying to find his way, good with electronics, trying to get by. He was a Beast Wars guy. Name dropped characters.

Both from Brookyln, happy to mix the TF with their real life neighborhood.

You know Universal has been trying to tie in the franchises together right for a side story movie?

Fast-Formers

I can see Tyrese driving an Autobot.

 

[IDKFA]

Not my cup of tea at all, but I'm sure it'll still somehow pull in over a billion at the box office.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

Rise of ThRise of The Beast . The date can be read as 666

You know Universal don't own Transformers? It's Paramount.

The plan is to unite the transformers with gi Joe...like the comics did.

I really hope they get this sorted out and do it. Would be so amazing. I love the original GI Joe film, so much stupid fun.

Pffft. Given the superhero levels of BS in the Fast series I can see them straight up modding their cars into autobots to fight decepticons.

In for Han-Bot-San.

 

[Aggelos]

Let's go!!

 

[TheMan]

beast wars was always such a stupid premise. I mean turning into truck, cars, planes, helicopters is cool. Turning into a fucking gorilla or cheetah? Give me a break.

That said I lost interest in the franchise as a whole a looong time ago and my son doesn't really care for them much either so wahtever. I'll stew in my righteous indignation for a bit and then go on with my day.

 

[GymWolf]

Do they still have shit lebouf as a protagonist?! I stopped watching this crap after the third one.

 

[sinnergy]

Not feeling it ... I rather have a true 80's movie with Unicron and all of that.

Bumblebee was the closest we came to an 80s style movie. It was FAR better than Bayformers!

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Just remake the original transformers movie with the cybertron CGI from Bumblebee. Done.

If you want to go all out then add 20-30mins at the start going through the Cybertron wars/build up/autobot escape in detail.

 

[teezzy]

Can we just put the Fast and Furious franchise and Transformers out of their misery please.

I'd rather have a crossover first

 

[MachRc]

Beast wars was great, I used to watch it in the morning with the original pokemon season one that they would put on repeat.

I stopped watching once Beast machines came out, couldnt stand that one. Cyberton sucked.

I enjoyed the heck out of Rescuebots, well done too.

i would like a live action rescuebots movie please..
