FINALLY! We are getting the Transformers movie that should have been released 11 years ago. The fact that in less than two minutes of this trailer I counted several key moments the filmmakers took right out of the comic book and applied to the film tells me they listened to the fans and went back to the actual cannon and didn't make it up as they went along.

So is this in the movie's established timeline or what? I am pretty confused through the trailer.

No matter what and if I liked the Camaro Bubblebee, I'm glad they went back to the VW Bug look finally for this movie.

I always wondered why an alien race of transformers would take on earthly human vehicles form? Obviously their home planet didnt have tractor trailers, so why would Optimus prime be a tractor trailer? Anyone know what his 'transformed form' was on his home planet? LOL

I saw the early screening of Bumblebee tonight. I liked it ALOT. It is amazingly 80's. From the pink bathroom sink to the Casio databank wristwatch with the qwerty keyboard. No detail is left out.

I thought it was better overall than the Bay Films. Travis Davis went with a less is more style and it works. He gets Transformers. The Explosions weren't over the top. The human-robot interactions were meaning full. The relationship between Charlie and Bumblebee is heartfelt and tear-jerking. The Cybertron scenes are short but very relevant to the storyline.

IMO they are testing the waters with the G1 shapes to see if audiences will like them. The theater was sold out, every theater that I searched out by me and randomly across the country to see how tickets were selling were sold out or near sold out at 1 pm today.

I took my 6-year-old Son to see it and he liked it very much.

To sell toys. The original cartoon was just a commercial for the toys. The movies are capitalizing on that nostalgia.

Are the toys still popular? I have no idea.

Can't hardly stand Bumblebee. Plus I think maybe there have been enough Transformer movies for awhile.

Transformer 7 Rise of Unicorn is coming in summer 2022.
Growing up, Transformers is an US cultural icon to me.
