Having read the article, it makes me think a couple things:



1) Will they actually remember that Cybertron appeared in Dark of the Moon and that part of it was amputated by the Space Bridge? Is that why it's dead, or was it already dead and Prime had something to do with that initially and the space bridge simply clipped some of the corpse off?



2) don't forget folks initial names are hardly any indication of the real name. Topspin was initially named Temptest; another wrecker Warpath; Crosshairs was Slingshot (the shite that was raised over that for a while).



3) I hope Bee's leadership has improved. He also really needs his voice (oh how RiD spoils us)



4) baby dinobots? Slash is finally making his appearance?



5) Megatron (argh Galvatron) is a jet again (jet, triple changing tank/jet, rusty tanker truck, gorgeous new cab over truck, jet). Stick with an alt mode please!!



6) British mythology and magic. YEEESSSSSSS Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on June 14th, 2016 @ 12:43pm CDT

I was also kind of hoping Anthony Hopkins would be voicing an incarnation Unicron too, I mean it was a wish. Doesn't look like that's going to happen.



Thanks for the news credit guys. Much appreciated. Personally I was hoping Megatron's alt-mode would be a tank or flying tank of doom like in RotF, but the jet idea works...again. I'm just happy he's back though.I was also kind of hoping Anthony Hopkins would be voicing an incarnation Unicron too, I mean it was a wish.

I bet the Artifact is Prime's sword from AOE! Think about it, British mythology, sword in the stone, and Optimus recovered that sword in a very "Sword in the stone" fashion. Good to possibly see Bee in more of a leadership role! Posted by EvasionModeBumblebee on June 14th, 2016 @ 1:05pm CDT

If Megatron is back, then what happens with Galvatron?

I was looking forward to him being the new big bad of this trilogy. Posted by Whifflefire on June 14th, 2016 @ 2:10pm CDT

leader... way to screw the movie over prematurely



Wonder if Anthony Hopkins will voice 'Bee



Maybe the revival device will bring back 'Bee's voice a'la Prime



Or maybe they're conditioning us to put up with 'Bee's insufferable non-voice to prepare us for the solo 'Bee movie where he won't talk for 3 hours



Maybe Sqeaks will be the Hippie van, that would be hilarious, hope it's a more lovable/adorable character if so So we're getting a mute as theleader... way to screw the movie over prematurelyWonder if Anthony Hopkins will voice 'BeeMaybe the revival device will bring back 'Bee's voice a'la PrimeOr maybe they're conditioning us to put up with 'Bee's insufferable non-voice to prepare us for the solo 'Bee movie where he won't talk for 3 hoursMaybe Sqeaks will be theHippie van, that would be hilarious, hope it's a more lovable/adorable character if so Posted by Hellscream9999 on June 14th, 2016 @ 2:19pm CDT

If any of that ends up being accurate this could be even worse than Age of Extinction, (which was easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life). Posted by Bleak5170 on June 14th, 2016 @ 2:43pm CDT

I still find ROTF and DOTM worse than Age of Extinction. At least I could tell what was going on with the action. Those other 2 are a blur. I still find ROTF and DOTM worse than Age of Extinction.

I smell another Deus ex Machina to add to the steaming pile.

Artifact has something to do with Merlin (from King Arthur lore), magic and Transformers

Hm, let me guess, magic sword...and Merlin was a Pretender

Bumblebee is now in a leadership role on Earth

Oh god we're going to have even more toys...

Hound, Crosshairs, and Drift are returning and are based in South Dakota

Oh jeez, I was hoping Hound would be the only returning cast member...

Also returning are Dinobots, plus... "mini-dinobots" (??)

Kill me, just, kill me.

Three new Transformers characters will feature, with a generic British background/accent: The Creator, an Aston Martin Cogman, a Vespa Squeaks

Creator? Cogman? Squeaks? Wow, those are some crappy names. On the plus side, an Aston Martin Transformer will be cool, not that he'll get much attention.

Megatron will be back as a jet fighter

Why can't he just pick a dumb form and stick with it? It works for every other character...

Yeah, plus, I found the narrative's for both rotf and dotm kind of a sloppy mess; at least aoe had a contiguous narrative Yeah, plus, I found the narrative's for both rotf and dotm kind of a sloppy mess; at least aoe had a contiguous narrative Posted by Hellscream9999 on June 14th, 2016 @ 2:56pm CDT

1. Not happy about an autobot transforming into a vespa.

2. The Aston Martin autobot is very much cool.

3. Not a very big fan of the story but let's see what unfolds.

4. Bumblebee as leader is ok as long as he takes the autobots for some cool showdowns with decepticons, not just sounds and explosions.

5. Megatron being a jet is very well, just Want him to be the center of the plot, not any artifact or whatsoever.

6. Need some prominent decepticons. Since barricade is returning, more named ones should join him, not drone robots.

7. Just wanted to know what's the courtesy for such news to joblo, from where this comes? Posted by Nightblade09 on June 14th, 2016 @ 2:58pm CDT

Not entirely sure what you're asking, if it was for their source, they likely won't say, as it's probably illegal to have leaked these things to them (if indeed any of it is true) Not entirely sure what you're asking, if it was for their source, they likely won't say, as it's probably illegal to have leaked these things to them (if indeed any of it is true) Posted by Hellscream9999 on June 14th, 2016 @ 3:03pm CDT

I loved reading your post. And yeah, another film, another mguffin. And I still cant beleive that Megatron/Galvatron has been present in all the films so far but gets relegated to being a side character everytime.

Yeah and it also showcased the bots a lot more. Optimus truly felt like the main character in that one instead of it being a human. I loved reading your post. And yeah, another film, another mguffin.

Ugh, I freakin' hated Hound. Don't get me wrong, John Goodman was an inspired choice for a Transformer voice, but I'm pretty sure his dialogue was them just taping John Goodman on a drinking bender. It's nonsensical even by these movies' low standards. Ugh, I freakin' hated Hound.

I'm happy that crosshairs and drift are coming back, I hope they both get more development. I'm curious about the mini dinobots too, hopefully it translates to legends sized dinobot toys. Posted by steals_your_goats on June 14th, 2016 @ 3:22pm CDT
