My guess is that neither Prime nor Bumblebee die, but I think Prime is far more likely to bite it. He has a history of coming back from the dead, after all.

But lol at people thinking Bee's actually going to die after what happened back in 1986 Bee is literally the character kids adore most in Transformers which is why he has been used so much and has had so many toys.

Bumblebee is as popular if not more than Optimus.
They have recently revealed Bumblebee to be alive in the IDW comics.
Due to the nuber across the board, particularly in the cheeper deluxe class (though not for TLK in the UK it's like 20 quid, a decade back it was 10 quid) Bee probably sells most toys.
Optimus is one of the villains of the film.
Bumblebee is the lead of the current Cartoon series.
Hot Rod is also in the film.
Optimus has enough deaths to warrant a wiki article about them.
Bee does not.
It all points in one of several directions.
Path 1
-Bumblebee manages to overpower Optimus and he dies.
-Hot Rod becomes Rodimus and suceeds Optimus
-OR-
-Bumblebee suceeds Optimus.
Path 2
-Bumblebee is severely injured
-Bumblebee is repaired.
-OR-
-Bumblebee is rebuilt as Goldbug
They aren't killing Bumblebee

You wrote a lot of good stuff and I totally agree that BB isnt dieing. these characters dont die and if they do, its not long, so no one should worry or lose sleep over arguing about it.
But I did want to comment on that line of yours. I really believe that Optimus is way more popular than Bumblebee. Of course, I dont have any numbers on the top of my head to back that up, but the films so far have gone out of their way to give him the great action set pieces instead of BB and I feel he is more popular than any other giant robot be it transformers related or not.
I even believe that Optimus Prime is as popular now as *gasp* Batman.
PS: I initially wrote "superman" but I realize that while that legacy is incredible, Superman is not as popular as he once was and batman has beaten him in sales loooooong ago.

My personal opinion is that I like them but they have never been favorites of mine for some reason the main character(s) never become favorites it's always the side characters.
One of my fave cons is Hardtop and he has like what zero media representation besides toy bios?
Anyways Bee's not going anywhere but the closest I can see that happening is a Transformers Prime situation where he is dead for 1 minute before coming back "stronger then ever".

Wait, they have? I may need to start reading the IDW comics then!
Anyways, I really like the poster, despite Bumblebee looking like he's seen better days. Something seems off about Prime's left hand, it's at a weird angle. Maybe Bee broke it?

Megatron Wolf wrote:Bumblebees not going to die, hes a cash cow first of all and second it would please to many fans and we all know bay hates that. It probably just means in order for earth and the transformers to live the new villain/world thats introduced must be destroyed or in order for the future to survive the past must be changed or some crap like that. Only ones who are going to die are the decepticons and maybe one of the autobots, cause why try something different
I think another major reason that Bumblebee's been around the whole time is just for continuity's sake. With the very high death rate of Transformers in these movies, it's nice to have a a few characters who are there throughout, kinda like R2 & 3PO over in Star Wars.
And the more Bumblebee we have, the better!

You mean a vocal minority of adult fans on the internet that are too old to care as much as they do?
Many kids and fans would be upset if he died just like with Prime back when he died in 86.
That statement is ridiculousness and absurd where has Bay shown this so called "hatred" of fans?
Even if he did he has good reasons too with them constantly whining and threatening his life over minuscule stuff like god damn flames I'm glad he and Hasbro don't listen to the fans because fans are never satisfied and never will be.
He clearly like the franchise enough and did you know that he actually made the first 2007 Transformers film more like Transformers compared to the original Spielberg plan of making them all grey and mute?

Not only that, but the films stay away from anything we know in terms of relics found in different media. Tomb of the primes, all spark, the seed, none of that comes from any lore, along with almost anything else (like Sideswipe using swords). They have shown time and time again to do their own thing. I am always surprised when people try to give them a deeper level of story as if anyone creating it cared to look into other versions of these characters and lore. Not saying these movies are bad, but we shouldnt try to see something that isnt there. they are their own thing and I have no clue why 5 movies in people are still trying to link it with homages. This aint Star trek.
here is the sad truth:
Its just a hammer because hammers are cool
Anything more than that would greatly surprise me.
Posted by Deadput on May 5th, 2017 @ 4:33pm CDT
It also seems he had this hammer in the past but the "past" video might be not canon or exaggerated.
It also doesn't look artifacty enough like the Matrix, Allspark and the other relics of the films and it instead looks like a normal hammer also it's quite the coincidence on how it's the same yellow as Bee.
I think the hammer has always been Bee's and he just either lost it or has not been using it for some reason but let's just find out when the movie comes out.
Edit: One more thing the films have already established that there were 7 original Primes and 6 of them died hiding the matrix so unless Solus was retconned in as one of the rather male looking primes it debunks Solus being a thing.
Plus at the very least Bay and Co at least can make up original ideas for relics and usually don't copy paste them and when they do they change it up.

To be fair, this one did have its roots in the preexisting concepts of Vector Sigma, the Matrix, and Energon Cubes, as the filmmakers took the life-giving aspects from the first two when creating the AllSpark, while the cube's name was originally going to be called "the Energon Cube", with the finalized name being taken from Beast Machines, and the change coming late enough in the production for the original name to make its way into some of the first film's supplementary materials, like its novelization.william-james88 wrote:all spark,

But even then, the look is completely different. My point was only that people thinking that hammer reffers to anything they know will probably be dissapointed. These films are very much their own thing.

It's also more like a key to machinery and a power source then a container of knowledge and souls I also like the look of the movie matrix myself.
I'm glad that the film makers attempt to make up new concepts or do new things with old ones instead of copying and pasting which is what all aspiring script makers should do with stories instead of rehashes.
Posted by Sabrblade on May 6th, 2017 @ 12:20am CDT
It did bring both Optimus and Sentinel (and Sam?) back to life, though, which is a classic attribute of the Matrix's accessibility to the Transformer afterlife.Deadput wrote:william-james88 wrote:But even then, the look is completely different.

For Optimus yeah I know he gets full on brought back to life so nothing to say here.
But Sentinel was not dead it's stated in the movie a couple times Ratchet: "His levels are faint he locked himself away to guard the pillers" Lennox: "Sentinel Prime, these things run on energon and he's out of it he's in sort of a sleep mode." and then Lennox: "That's the great Matrix of leadership, He holds the only thing in the universe that can repower a Transformer's spark."
Was Sam actually dead? I always just thought he was just dying and knocked out or in a temporary coma.
It's always possible (Theory not stating fact) that Optimus wasn't dead but just knocked into stasis making him "Not-Dead" but I doubt it.

I cant believe the Transformers afterlife and Devastator's balls were in the same film just moments away from one another.

ISABELA MONER
“Transformers: The Last Knight” (June 23)
To win a role in the latest “Transformers,” Ms. Moner sent a self-tape from her home in Cleveland. “I was nervous. I had just turned 14 and was intimidated by the fact that it’s such a big franchise and I’d be stepping into one of the leads.”
The director Michael Bay wanted to see more and asked her to fly to Los Angeles for a screen test. “The hairstylist said, ‘We’re going to come up with the look for the movie.’ Then Michael walks in and he’s like, ‘We might have to cut your hair.’ I’m like, ‘What? Right now?’” Luckily the new look let her keep her long tresses. “So we dodged a bullet on that one.”
She and Mr. Bay went to a studio parking lot, where he asked her to pretend a Transformer was looming above as he filmed. He told her, “‘I want you to shout things at him, be really mean and challenge him.’ So I did what he wanted me to do, and he did as much as he could without actually having to pay me to be there. What was supposed to be a 30-minute meeting turned into a three-hour fun day of just a low-budget ‘Transformers.’”

He can save the world, but can he master a British accent? Go behind the scenes with Optimus Prime on the set of #Transformers.
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.
Transformers is coming to theatres June 21, 2017!
Directed by Michael Bay
Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins, Laura Haddock, Isabella Moner, Stanley Tucci, John Turturro

If 1 world lives and 1 dies, it won't be Earth that dies. So, The Last Knight will be the end of Cybertron. But will Prime and/or Megatron die with it?
Maybe that's the twist and they destroy Earth.

Wait what?
I think we should go over the definition of heroic.
While I'm fine with the way Prime treats the Decepticons (Regardless of what anyone says facts are that they are still monsters who in most continuities start the wars for no good reason and are willing to slaughter anyone else their like the Empire or many real life monsters) this commercial is a bit odd in the threatening of an innocent person who's only teaching Prime British speech.
Although that women isn't exactly being patient or respectful with Optimus either so two wrongs do not make a right but obviously Prime would not actually do this on his own free will (Yes even movie Prime) and it's for humorous effect for a rather funny commercial.

It was supposed to be a joke.
Because I don't think heroic is threatening other people and I'm not trying to get people to think my way I'm stating my own opinion which I thought I'm allowed to state on a "discussion" site.
Before you go all like "He's arguing again" well of course most people tend to talk back it's kinda what people do the difference is if their being civil or rude about it and I'm trying to be not rude but apparently my comments don't translate what I say.
I thought we weren't supposed to insult or make fun of other users even if they deserve it.
