Paramount had a big presentation today for theatre executives only. It included a sizzle reel showing clips of Dungeons & Dragons, Mission Impossible and Transformers Rise of the Beasts. Here is a description of what was shown:
No Beasts were shown. Instead people saw Optimus, Bumblebee and Arcee. Arcee is said to look like G1 Arcee, Optimus is said to look like he did in the Bumblebee movie and Bumblebee looks like Bayverse Bumblebee (same car mode, same face, same visual cues). The footage shows Arcee hanging on the the side of a moving car as she is about to take shots with her gun. Anthony Ramos was seen in a car as well. No Dialogue was uttered, it was only 12 seconds of shots among a sizzle reel.
This description was lifted from The John Campea Show which discussed first hand what the group saw.
Usually, if a trailer is shown at an event, then it will likely be shown in a week or two to the public BUT if it is a sizzle reel like the one described, then it will not be made available for anyone else to see, ever.

I never liked John Campea, he always came off as the kind of movie guy I wanted to avoid of late.

Given that John Campea isnt in the transformers loop. Its clear to me that when he says Bumblebee looks like Bayverse but Arcee and Optimus look as they did in the Bumblebee movie,he just doesnt know the minutia and differences Bumblebee has in design. Since 2/3s of the bots listed look like they did in the BB movie, its clear bumblebee will look similar ti his robot mode at the end of the film

I agree that he doesn't get the minutia, but that proves that Paramount and Hasbro are still referencing enough of the older movies aesthetic for fans of those films to not be disoriented and still recognize that version of the character as something they are familiar with. Though we don't even know at this point if they even saw Bumblebee in robot mode.

I’ve always kind of had the impression that he’s not well liked in the LA film critic scene.

As is the case with almost every pop culture movie, the first look at new designs and characters is through the merchandise and Transformers 7 Rise of the Beasts (ROTB) is no different. Thanks to some slipper boots and pajamas, we have our first look at the Bumblebee design from ROTB. Of course we don't know how different it will look in the final film but this is the design Hasbro gave companies that licensed their brand for film related products. The look is very much a mix of what we saw in the Bumblebee film mixed with elements from the first Michael Bay film, going hand in hand with the statements of the director that his movie is a bridge between the different films, at least stylistically. Bad news for fans hoping to be done with Bayverse designs, but that was never going to be the case, as we saw that from the earlier product reviews. Of course, inspiration from Bay's live action films does not mean that the story or approach would be the same, since this is a different director and this film takes place in a different era.
We have another product shown featuring many faction symbols. It is important to note that the Predacon symbol is not there, which could hint at how little that faction is involved with the film. Remember, there have been no confirmation of any Predacon character being in the film so far. The listings for the various apparel come from BIG W.

If the orange faction symbol is not "predacon" (it's clearly not), what faction will it represent?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I'm still a bit bummed Bee's gonna keep the same face. I still don't think it's the worst of all the Bayverse designs, I just like a lot of the other interpretations much more. Especially since I was hoping we'd get something more G1-y (not saying everything must be Geewun), because I think going for a hybridisation of the cartoon eyes and helmet with the toy's faceplate would more or less give us the same Bayverse Bumblebee (BBB) face but more in-line with what the BB movie gave us for the other characters. (At least, in my opinion.)
But I know this is THE iconic Bumblebee noggin so I am not even remotely surprised we're still getting it.

He looks good! I like that they kept some of the Bumblebee movie parts, like his arms and feet.
I wonder if he will have the car doors on his back or if it will be like before, where the merchandise was based on the concept art.
Day 891 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I like that they're incorporating more yellow into Bumblebee's face and filled it in a bit. Always thought all the gray metal and open spaces was a little too "cold" and skeletal for such cheerful bot.
Because they're not Predacons?
Nightbird, Battletrap and Scourge.
Though I seem to remember it being said that they have beast modes as well, or at least Nightbird does?

Just because the G1 Terrorcons combined, doesn't mean the Rise of the Beasts ones will basically, as the Terrorcons name has been used before.

Because predcons are known as evil beasts and they arent the villains in this film. Instead, the villains are a group of 3 bots that used to be from different factions and came together to make their own called the Terrorcons. Their leader is Scourge.

Believe it or not, we are just two weeks away from the original release date of the Transformers Rise of the Beasts movie, before it got moved to 2023. Well, instead of the film, Hasbro is giving us our first "official" look at how Bumblebee will look like in the beginning of the film. At the end of the Bumblebee movie, he became a 70's Camaro so that is the same alt mode he will have in the beginning of the film, and we've seen it on set many times. However, this is our best look yet at his robot mode. It was revealed on the official Transformers page of the Russian social media site VK. What is odd is that alongside it we also have a render of Optimus Primal which is just a stylized version of the original toy in 2d while Bumblebee is an actual 3d model.
Bumblebee does change form later in the film into an offroad vehicle and his robot mode kibble changes accordingly as we have already seen in the toys.

Looks like they've designed Bumblebee in an "intermediate" form, one that's between the original movies and his own solo film.

You know, I like this design. One of my biggest gripes with the movie robots (well, at least the first trilogy) was how exposed everything was; it really made you wonder how their war kept going for so long with so many inner parts exposed. This one mixes the right amount of detail with believable armor for an alien robot warrior.
And it isn't exaggeratedly anthropomorphic like the last two Bayverse movies' Autobots, which felt more like humans made of metal (seriously, a robot with a trenchcoat as part of his body? And another modeled like a samurai?).

He looks pretty cool.
The wheels on the legs are more exposed than before, I wonder if this was made with the toys in mind, so they are easier to design.

Why have they chosen to give Bee the appearance of cleavage? Like.. this entire thing is already hideous like all Bayformers, but they have the hood chest.. then split it in two? Did nobody think that might look odd? Or do they just think Bayformers.. it doesn't matter, just slap something together with a creepy face and weird alien look and.. done?

Meanwhile the kids they're marketing to are saying, "MORE BUMBLEBEE, I LOVE HIM!!!!" and we get an entire line of exclusives featuring the guy at Target. You may not like him, and that's your right, but he's wildly more popular and lucrative than G1 Bee will ever be.
There's a reason why Hasbro tried to upgrade/update G1 Bee into this:
And why most modern versions of Bee for the various TV series look more like Camaros than Beetles since 2007.

Well, there's that tiny WW shenanigans that prevent further beetles.
But yeah, the specific Camaro is a direct result of the 2007 movie.
And honestly, the Bay-Bee haters sound like old men yelling at clouds. It's been 15 years already. That Bee is now the nostalgic Bee for a whole new generation of adults.
If I find some more Geewhiner crying like a baby about Bay-Bee, I'll call for the nurse so that they get wheeled back into the nursing home.

Cool. Him being placed alongside of the 1996 boxart of Garry Primal though is fucking hilarious.

The Predacons aren’t going to be a thing in this movie, guaranteed. But hopefully there’s some kind of tease for them showing up in the next film.

Transformers 8? Probably not, the solo Beast Wars movie on the other hand...

M'eh. The more they reveal about this coming movie, the less interested I feel. Particularly with 'pre-quels', no matter what the franchise might be.
Whether it's Kenobi's antics on Tatooine before A New Hope, or the tale of Chewbacca's crossbow, or the life story of Leia's hair stylist, or what Bumblebee did on Earth before he met Sam, I have no interest in stories that took place beforehand - because we already know from the original movies how it all ends.
