Also, what about the comics? Will they be tossed out the window?

Maybe they'll go all Star Wars on this! & only stories after a certain point will become Canon! & all others before....are obviously not part of the TCU(Transformers Cinematic Universe)YES! I know the original TF Movie was the exception! as it had comic tie-ins, but for the new & upcoming expanded cinematic universe!......that'll be a whole new ballgame.

The movies have never given any regard to the comics before, I doubt they'll start now. Didn't Sabrblade say that Age of Extinction nullified a lot of the stuff the comics did that tried to explain the plot holes in the movies?

I wouldn't say "nullified" so much as "ignored" or "potentially contradicted" things the comics did. All it would take would be a competent writer like John Barber to patch things up again with some more Movieverse comics, since there's still some room in the greater Movieverse timeline for such patch jobs to be done. The only problem with that solution is that IDW currently doesn't have any plans for further Movieverse comics to be done at this time.

Is that really so unfortunate? Is the movieverse really worth salvaging with comics?

Well, the Movieverse comics are probably the best Movieverse fiction there is, with several (but not all) of them being pretty cool in their own right.

And that a lot of them were able to fix many of the continuity and overall storytelling problems of the films was a delicious icing on the cake.

I enjoyed many of them myself, but when the comics are so busy just trying to patch continuity, story often takes a back seat.

Still would be pretty cool to have a live-action beast wars movie...

Yeah, cuz CGI Maximals and Predacons in a live background is that much different that CGI Maximals and Predacons in a CGI background.


Don't get me wrong, I love Beast Wars, but it's because I care so much for it that I'd much rather Hollywood leave well enough alone, lest we end up with a film featuring a freakishly hideous Optimus Primal that eat bugs picked from off of his back and throws his own poop at the audience in 3D.

Well, believable realistic looking looks, not necessarily live action. And personally if they got the right people they could make it a hit. I for one would like to see our beast wars guys get a good modern spotlight

Beast Wars: Uprising is a good modern spotlight if you ask me.

And IDW's probably got something going down with that colony world Eukaris.

Yeah, do we really want a Beast Wars movie where Cheetor can't talk? ...Wait, that's probably a bad example.

Having just read the preview, I am excited for Eukaris!

What was your first experience with Eukaris when you came to know about it first time?

Eukaris was an interesting colony world and a cool take on the classic beast wars. I like that all the guys are split into tribes based on beast mode, almost like functionalism for beasts. I also liked that Tigatron and Airazor were outcasts to be with one another. I look forward to what they will do with the beasts and what kinds of characters will spring up there

Any chance that we could see The Avengers popping up in any of the Transformers Cinematic Universe related material?(it doesn't just have to be the movies....it could be comic book tie-ins or even any future videogame tie-in)

I'm sure i've mentioned this in a post before.....I'm certain that Transformers turned up in some of the comics(this is going back years ago) that were done by Marvel. & YES I know Hasbro owns the rights to Transformers! before anyone bleats on about that! & YES I know there could be a possible Transformers/GI Joe movie.

Oh hell no. Not after the train wreck that was the Avengers/Transformers comic mini-series.

Besides, neither franchises need a cross-over like that. Marvel have plans for their characters for many years to come yet.

That was back when Marvel Comics had the publishing rights. Now they belong to IDW. Plus, Paramount owns the Transformers films, and Disney owns the Marvel films. Too many deals to be made, money to be split, and if their turn on Power Rangers showed anything, it's that Disney doesn't like to share profits. And as Burn said, the MCU is planned out through 2019, and that's just the projects we know about. It ain't happening.

Nope, it was more recent than that, and it was terrible.

[King Kuuga]

I stand corrected. Still no chance of a Marvel/Transformers film happening, though.
