As much as I like this trailer, and as much as I (used to) enjoy Bumblebee and (thankfully still enjoy) Rise of the Beasts, I pray for the day when I stop seeing these comments. I'm just tired on them.

A lot of the animation & design looks gorgeous, hitting somewhere between Evergreen and the Bumblebee movie for me. Some of the character animation looked maybe a little lower-budget than you might expect? Cybertron looks great though, both underground and topside, and it looks like it's packing so many little nods to bits of TF lore from all over the past 40 years that it's going to demand a close watch on home release.
In short, this is looking like a lot more fun than I was expecting!

I literally sat here and watched this with my mouth hanging open. The trailer is beautiful, well polished animation. The interactions are amazing. All of my nurses and MAs also watched the trailer. None of them are even fans of Transformers, but they ALL plan on seeing this movie now.
That's exactly what a trailer is supposed to do. Well done.
Posted by Bumblevivisector on April 18th, 2024 @ 2:17pm CDT
Beyond Airachnid's cameo, the whole aesthetic strikes me as 'Prime with a bigger budget' more than any other single past CG TF rendering, especially the Vehicons, and it works surprisingly well. I could see this getting all the attention that Rise of the Beasts didn't last summer.

Seconded. Are you saying accidental homicide is OK Sabr? It's all comic relief until someone unintentionally enters the nuclear codes...

Agreed, Transformers (2007) was almost 20 years ago. It's time to let things go. There is no good that can come from dredging up the past. Michael Bay certainly doesn't care so there's no need for people to cling to that.
Anyway, onto the trailer itself. It honestly looks like a fun little movie. While I probably will be waiting till a home media release, I'll still be watching it.

There's a difference between an accident and a bunch of gun-toting maniacs who relish and revel in their obsessive desire to main, mutilate, and massacre the first things that look at them funny (lookin' at you, Crosshairs and Hound).Bumblevivisector wrote:Seconded.

I mean I get that Optimus wasn't always the stalwart, confident leader we see in the OG series. each character should be able to grow in a sense mentally, but to have them look "youthful" just doesn't make sense, unless again, their bodies are literally going to be broken, and rebuilt into something closer to what we know. I mean Elita is already "Elita" (not Aeiral), and Megatron was "Born"(built) as is. (Physically, not mentally).
Yeah I know this isn't OG Transformers, and it certainly shows. I still plan on seeing it and giving it a chance, but man, It definitely didn't overwhelm me with positivity, lets just put it that way.
Also, can we officially STOP with inserting classical Rock songs in trailers? It was cool in Guardians of the Galaxy, and its sequels, and dozens of other film trailers that have done it in the past 10 years. But it can stop now. I mean I know Transformers is an original product of the 80's, but "Start Me Up" even predates it.
My nostalgia bias probably would have given a pass to any song from the TF:TM soundtrack, even though this film hasn't earned it yet (maybe they'll play "The Touch", or a rendition of the OF TF theme at the end of the film), but yeah, Rolling Stones and TF doesn't mesh well here.

Is it supposed to be a prequel to the live action films? Felt like the vibe was more toward Prime and the WFC games.

I mean originally Orion Pax body was literally destroyed and he was ReBuilt into Optimus Prime. Call it hoaky, or whatever; but the idea of bots looking "young" and then maturing is just so foreign to my concepts of Transformers. Sure we saw little kiddies on Lithone, but that was a different race of Robots.
Pretend those last two are in reverse order.

Looks like it'll be a lot more fun that RoTB was. This might have a well-paced and interesting story in the hands of a good director.

This franchise might be in need of some Beast Machines level risks. I’m talking a whole series with almost zero characters that have come before.
Of course I’m still excited, and of course I get someone just not wanting to see it, but some of the reasoning here is a bit confusing.

Well I could never forget Botbots, ending on that S7 cliffhanger!
All that being said, what you said is exactly my point, it’s really not that different after all! The Thirteen to Quintesson occupation timeline had become the go to, for better or worse (Earthspark is doing fun things).
Here’s to season 2 of both ES and Botbots! And the success of this film.

That's a shame, especially considering the introduction of Sector 7 implied it was going to possibly attempt to assert continuity with the live-action universe, making it even more relevant to this thread.
Posted by Barricade.it on April 19th, 2024 @ 1:47am CDT
They're moving the franchise to an easier audience, it's a much less dark and more relaxed product (though We've to see the entire movie, of course). It's a good decision, as the Bayverse was in dead end by all points of view.
So, comparing TFOne (but also BBee and ROTB) to the TF1/5 it's a complete mistake.
I think We can enjoy this movie for what it is and not for different movies are.
Posted by JazZeke on April 19th, 2024 @ 2:29am CDT
Ultimately, this is just going to be another continuity for the pile. I'll go see it, but I can already tell it won't be my favorite Transformers story.
Posted by -Kanrabat- on April 19th, 2024 @ 4:54am CDT
If TF-1 is the first chapter of an entire new series of movies set in their own closed universe, I'll be all for it. Also, let the art style be consistent and stay 100% animated through the series, please.
This way, having Bee be the same age as Optimus and Megatron would stop bothering me at the very least. I mean, in most universes, Bee is supposed to be a "teen", Optimus a "30-something adult", and Megatron be "in advanced middle age".
In this new series, having those 3 be the same age will surely bring some new dynamics and characters interactions.
Regardless, I'm looking forward this movie.

Good.
The Bayverse is convoluted enough as it is.
No need to add another layer!
Posted by Brokebot on April 19th, 2024 @ 5:52am CDT
But the tone? The slapstick MCU comedy feel is kinda off-putting to me. I realize they have probably culled all the funny bits and packed them into the trailer to try and snare a younger demographic that I aged out of a LONG time ago, but I have a hard time seeing the future OP and Megatron in those characters as they are being presented. Especially Megatron. Then again, this wouldn't be the first trailer I've seen that completely misrepresented the actual movie, so I could be way off-base. My son liked it, so mission accomplished, I guess. Whatever keeps the franchise alive.
This looks like something I'll wait for streaming, rather than buying a ticket.

The FB Transformers Addicts page is a awash in fanboy tears and whining. Frankly, I'm disgusted. I used to think Star Wars fans were the most fickle fan base with the loudest squeaky wheels and 4-year-olds-in-40-year-old bodies throwing temper tantrums because the latest fare doesn't live up to their standards. I have changed my mind, there's a new king of the Fandom Tantrum. Congratulations, Transfans.

It's plainly obvious that it's the start of a new TF universe.
I could understand if the TF storyline was set in the same universe for over 40 years in some epic saga like Star Wars. But the TF franchise created a multiverse basically since G1.
So having new universes added to the pile is expected.
I wish for a movie that will cross the TF universes like the last MCU Spiderman movie. I'm looking forward the interactions between Sunbow G1 Optimus Prime and his 1st Bay trilogy self.

When a restaurant starts serving shit sandwiches and blames the customer for not blindly consuming product with a smile and eagerly awaiting more product, that restaurant fails. That's a lesson Disney/Lucasfilm refuses to learn. Give the customer what they want and they remain customers. Try to cram crap down their throats that they don't want and they let you crash and burn.

The very height of hubris is to make the assumption that you are the only customer that matters. In the grand scheme of things, more younger people are fans of the new Transformers than the old school. Since they are going to be around longer, it makes sense to focus on them as a longer revenue stream. As people have said repeatedly, these movies are NOT aimed at collectors, who frankly are a bunch of a**holes anymore. They are aimed at a broad general audience. The easter eggs are for collectors, but the movies are to the masses and designed to make money. General audiences don't pick apart characters and motivation and factor in canon like the childlike fanboys. They want an escape and to have fun. If you think that because you as a Transfan you should have a bigger input and that they should cater to your pathetic tuchus when you make up less than 0.0003% of the general population, then go take a nap and go back to your coloring books and crayons...you need to grow up.

Aesthetically, it looks quite nice. No humans is an immediate +1. But..
I got a TMNT vibe from it. Which I like in that series. Not something I care for in Transformers. The idea of them being "young" has never really sat well with me.
Also, I get it's a popularity thing. But for the time being I'm not interested in seeing another iteration of Bumblebee, Prime and Megatron.

Yeah, you could read this both ways, but it seems pretty clear to me that while the film is riffing on different aspects of TF lore from movies to cartoons to comics, it's not intending to be bound by any previous media?
I mean, not that the Bayverse films have ever been particularly bothered about internal continuity anyway, but this seems to be very much in the space of "another story in the TF tapestry" to me, and not intended to be in any strict continuity at all.

Yes, I know - they also said "any other Transformers media" and Cooley said "or any other film". I'm reading "they're the same characters" as "it's Optimus Prime", not "it's Optimus Prime (2007 continuity)".
In fact, if they were specifically talking about TF '86, then "they're the same characters" would be referring to Sunbow Optimus in that sentence!
--EDIT--
Argh, replies coming in while I type.

That being said, in the trailer, we showcase a lot of comedy because we were having so much fun with these characters and with these actors that it just naturally made its way into the film. Optimus and Megatron become enemies, and so I wanted to make sure that the audience fell in love with them as brothers, as friends early on. By the end of this film, there's some serious stakes and there's the same amount of action and adventure that you come to expect from a Transformers film. It has that fun, light tone to it, but then it gets very real as well.
