Both are said to be muscle cars, though both seem to have some aircraft kibble as well. The reveal comes to us from Entertainment Weekly and we thank Seibertronian Deadput for sending the news our way. You can see both decepticons very clearly in the image below after the blurb from Entertainment Weekly.
Bumblebee is no longer disguising its bad guys.
Set in the yesteryear of 1987, the new Transformers film (out Dec. 21) finds the wounded yellow Autobot taking shelter with a teenager mechanic (Hailee Steinfeld) while trying to avoid two Decepticon trackers.
As the film prepares for its Comic-Con showcase in San Diego next week, EW has the exclusive reveal.
One of the Decepticons is Shatter, who takes the form of a cherry-red Plymouth Satellite. She will be voiced by Angela Bassett.
Dropkick, whose vehicle form is a blue AMC Javelin, will be voiced by Justin Theroux.
Bumblebee is very much a throwback to the original 1980s cartoon, with the hero returning to his Volkswagen Beetle form instead of a Camaro. But the film is breaking tradition by giving the Decepticons wheels instead of wings.
“The two main villains are Decepticon muscle cars,” says director Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings).
There is one flying villain, whose identity and voice actor are still under wraps, but otherwise, these bad guys will be prowling the roads rather than the skies while pursuing their prey.
Although the film focuses only on this trio of Decepticons, the filmmaker promises these two will have more personality than usual.
“When the cast is too big, and you have a finite amount of time, there’s only so much you can do to create an investment in them,” Knight says. “This is a more personal, intimate, and character-driven story, so it felt right to keep the villain plot relatively simple and contained. If you keep things lean, you can add a lot of other stuff on top of it that makes it more enjoyable.”
In other words, there is more to Shatter and Dropkick than meets the eye.

These look good, I like seeing that alt mode kibble, but it does bring more of an aesthetic of the older Bay films

(Pic I posted is a much bigger one, putting the photo in a new tab should show the size)
The kibble is pretty great and I'm happy to see these designs, I think the biggest problem wasn't the aesthetics in of itself but more so that characters didn't resemble past versions of themselves for the most part and that Decepticons were given monstrous designs to visually distinct themselves from the Autobots.
My own personal opinion of course, I think that from a spectacle standpoint that the live action film aesthetic is more interesting to look at on the big screen then the simple designs from G1, Although Bee does a great job of being a perfect blend of the two.
Edit: I think Dropkick turns into a helicopter actually, he seems to have possible rotor on his back and the cockpit in his chest looks more like a helicopter cockpit then a jet one. So there goes the theory that the two combined into a jet.

Also, nice to see the name Dropkick getting reused.

They both seem to have a little helicopter kibble going on in their shoulders. They might actually be triple changers, or have some type of Safeguard situation going on.

Maybe they combine to form a helicopter? Like Battletrap except their combined mode is a vehicle. Either way, I really like the look of them! Glad that they keep the complexity of the usual Bayverse designs.
This does bring up an interesting point, though. There were supposedly going to be 4 Transformers in the movie, so that would be Bee, Starscream, Shatter, and Dropkick. But wasn’t Jess Harnell returning as Barricade? Maybe it’ll just be a cameo or something.

I didn't realise this was being done by a guy from Laika, I might end up paying to see this film at some point.

Also, was it just my imagination, or had I heard somewhere that this film might be going for a PG rating (rather than PG-13)??

Meaning that, they don't present a real threat, and are not really threatening and scary like some Decepticons from past films, probably wont be threatening/killing any humans, but will more fit the tone of the film. I can see Starscream as more of a potential threat, but I think these two are going to be toned way down.

I mean it would be fresh to get some more "lighthearted" Decepticons but I don't think they necessarily will be, just because you have a personality doesn't mean you stop being a threat.

Shatter has jet parts not helicopter parts (She has wings on her shoulders not blades) so unlikely, I think their not combiners, unless it's a fictional jet helicopter.
The guy who was at the screening basically said that "The movie only "stars" 4 robots, not that there would only be 4.
And considering that in the apparent early screening that The seeker who isn't Starscream died at the start of the film, I'm guessing possibly perishing while chasing Bee which leads to the latter eventually being discovered by Charlie I think that the Seeker isn't among those 4 and is the cameo while Barricade who hasn't been shown is the last of the 4.
Edit: Oh yeah I forgot about that one of the other things the guy said was that Megatron has a cameo in the film frozen like 2007 but he has a G1 like design with a bucket head and arm cannon, also Optimus has a cameo and has a more smooth g1-ish design like Bee does so if that's true then that's like 7 robots in total including cameos. Bumblebee, Shatter, Dropkick, Barricade, Seeker-Bro (Starscream or Ramjet-or-any-other-seeker-name) Optimus Prime (cameo) Megatron (Cameo)
I think I also heard rumors that Hot Rod was in a flashback cameo but I'm not sure if that's true, there has been plenty of rumors and I don't write or bookmark them which is really a pain when I need to bring these rumors up again. (I'd would suck as a journalist)

I'm placing spoiler labels on these quotes of his so if you read them and they turn out to be true don't go blaming me for clicking on them.
About Shatter and Dropkick, (Plot spoilers, not in depth but still story stuff) "these were the two decepticons that become triple changers and help out and then betray sector 7. They have some great scenes in this movie"
He also says (I don't think this counts as spoilers since we already know they are triple changers) "Shatter turns into a jet, while dropkick turns into a helicopter. His blades hang off his back Blackout style."
As for how the triple changing is shown in the movie "The triple changing becomes a huge part of how they fight in the two big battle scenes we get with them. It gets decently creative with how they swap between modes. I think its pretty well reflected in how both robots have car and aerial parts on them the whole time."
And as for Barricade "unless they created brand new scenes and footage there wont be any sign of barricade. These two are the main antagonists of the film." Hmmmmm maybe His appearance might be like that certain character cameo in the end of Solo and not part of the main film.

ZeroWolf wrote:The rumours about a megatron cameo is interesting, as if his appearance has changed in to a more g1 look then maybe this has gone more of a reboot direction. After all we all know how he looked when he crashed to earth and when he awoke under the hoover dam.
Uhhhhhh Allspark shenanigans?
In all seriousness though I do think they will try to make this movie a dull purpose one, to be both a prequel to the Bay films, but also the start of a reboot. (As for how that could work, the events of the movie would still be the same, it would be the movies after this one that would diverge into two different timelines)

I mean it's just Bee by himself, how would he capture them? Or why would they leave him alone when their described as "Decepticon Trackers" not really much you can do with them that has them survive that doesn't make them look incompetent.
This is probably part of why these guys are "Nobodies" and not established characters like Soundwave or Shockwave. (I actually like giving grunts roles, an army isn't just the high ranked guys)
Their isn't any drones or protoforms and their the only cons in the movie besides Jet guy and the article referred to them as the main antagonists of the movie so they will definitely be a presence during the whole movie.
Villains don't have to survive to be good villains.

I agree with this.
I also think the same can apply to good guy characters, as long as the death itself is a good/tragic death that serves the story well.
As a Transformer example from DOTM, I don't think Ironhide's death wasn't properly executed (Nobody mourned for him or anything on screen) but I thought it served the story well, same thing with Que's death. (Although he could of used a bit more screen time the death itself was good and has effects on other characters.)

If you keep things lean, you can add a lot of other stuff on top of it that makes it more enjoyable.”
I do hope they keep their promise and those two will have some basic character development. Because I just don't want 3/4 of the Bee Movie being about the humans comparing the smell and noise of their farts.
Posted by Mindmaster on July 13th, 2018 @ 5:30pm CDT
They look good. I just hope they actually get some sort of character and not end up dead in the first hour like last film’s goons.

I'm also hoping for some good characterization from these 2, it's something the cons really need. And they're a bit more original name wise, so hopefully like Nitro Zeus they capture some attention

I'd be blown away if their 3rd mode would be half-a-jet. Then they combine to make the full jet. It would be logical because a jet is supposed to be huge. However, if they'd combine into "Starscream", I'd WTF.

IKR, like that would be insane. But getting more triplechangers is really cool. Imagine engineering that into their figures...

Octobotimus wrote:seeing as one of the previous people here posted that the jet former here would die at the beginning, i have something to say.... this isn't a bay film where they'll kill of someone who very clearly is meant to be starscream at the beginning of the film or at all. rumors are rumors, and should be treated as such. i mean my god there were rumors at some point that shia would return for this movie, so some of em are pretty clearly fake.
Here's the thing, the guy who was talking about this was both a long time member on the other site and not some random new member so that's some credibility with him.
Second: I have read the stuff he's posted (Although I haven't got more details from him since I'm not a member of the other site so I don't know the stuff he PM's other people)
Third: We have gotten rumors in the past that turned out to be correct, for example in AOE Lockdown being the bad guy, the Bugatti being Drift and the Dinobots were very early rumors that turned out to be true, and for TLK Cogman, Squeeks, Megatron being a jet, Mohawk and Dreadbot being the names of the Motorcycle and the rusty VW van (Although called Hooligan at the time) were also early rumors that were revealed to be true.
Shia being in this movie isn't a rumor because it's factually not true and couldn't happen unless the end of the movie reuses the scene of 2007 where Bee pulls into Bobby's, the thing with rumors is that their possibly true.
A bunch of stuff the guy said is apparently true, for example he revealed that the two Decepticons were triple changers and that the red car was a girl long before the EW article came out confirming this info, so I wouldn't call him a lier just yet.

Check them out below, and choose your favourite!

A nice idea but I don't think they would keep the aircraft parts once they had scanned an car. Here you can clearly see both air and car parts so it is likely they are capable of triple changing we shall see though when the next trailer drops and the movie hits

Present on stage are director Travis Knight, screenwriter Christina Hodson, actors Hailee Steinfeld, Jorge Lendeborg Jr, John Cena. AND STAN BUSH PLAYING THE TOUCH LIVE ON STAGE. Anthony Breznican of Entertainment Weekly moderates the panel.
Some lighting ribbing ofMichael Bay starts off the introduction of Travis Knight, director of the movie. Clip shown as a sizzle reel for the director with the cast talking about his work and background. Background in animation starts from nothing, and animation is a distillation of feelings - this is a movie tha calls back to a smaller cast, the magic that he had as a child of the 80s - each charatcer needed its own silhouette its own canvas, moving back to the original look and wave of the G1 characters.
What could be worked into the new design from the original animation? Lots of moving parts, leaning to the original plating of the G1 design.
How is this different from animation? Process in live-action is much shorter, not terribly different, animators were approached as actors - allows the audience to attach more meaningfully. It's effectively an origin story, Bumblebee has always been the human close character, who he was , why he becomes who he becomes, a deep dive into the character to understand who he is.
What is he doing on earth with no supporting Autobots? Looking at parallels with Charlier and adolescence, trying to fit in or stand out, feeling completely utterly alone - channeling that aspect. Do we get to visit his world in this movie? YES. We will see Cybertron. It is awesome, Travis says.
It is Bumblebee's story, we have a small cast, but there are all manners of layers for fans of the franchise more widely.
Haille Steinfeld ,and Jorge Lendeborg Jr join the stage.
Charlie is trying to find that sense of freedom, to fill the loss she’s feeling, finds this car who isn’t a car, the journey of Charlie with Bumblebee is a beautiful story of discovery. Herself, she wants to start her own life, connect with what’s she’s lost with this sort of escape.
Jorge / Memo is interested in Charlie, leads him into big Bumblebee adventure, trying to see Charlie for who she is. Trying very hard even if it means going versus robot aliens. He had a Larry Bird poster in his room, GoBots are mentioned, he speaks to the inner geek within us all, the things that people might not think that are cool. Looks a lot like Travis’ bedroom as a kid.
A journey of coming of age and discovery for Charlie, Memo develops more confidence and sincerity.
Bad guys, Shatter and Dropkcik, voiced by Angela Bassett and Justin Thoreaux, they're triple changers - muscle cars and air vehicles (chopper and harrier jet) - design was inspired by Nightbird for Shatter, and Megatron for Dropkick.
Jet we saw in trailer IS NOT Starscream, but it is a Seeker (uniform jet design) design: character is called Blitzwing.
Every good hero has a good villain: Agent Burns, played by John Cena.
Going up against shapeshifting alien robots, how is he an antagonist? He thinks he is in the right in the movie, if humans help people such as Transforemrs, those humans are not that nice. Charlie does not - obviously - like Agent Burns. No one is really spilling the beans on the character - the good hook about the character is that he definitely knows he is right, and that makes it compelling as a perspective for a villain.
NEW TRAILER SHOWN
Audience questions:
for Hailee: how do you balance your music with your acting? trying to take everything one step at the time, currently touring on the East Coast, but this is exciting to see all of this coming together.
What would Bumblebee do if he had to fight an actual giant bumblebee robot? Cena: he's compassionate, trying to find out if this is a good or bad Transformer, analyze strength and weakness, he would definitely defeat the bug.
Do you expect to star in more movies after this, John Cena? Kinda depends on audience, but if it doesn't I can still go back to John Cena - do you have anything else in the works?
Another for John: what's it like transitioning from a hero to a villain? the career in the WWE and my character as a 'good guy' in the WWE was an inspiration to be a grey character morally, but definitely not a heel in this.
What was it like working with something that wasn't here? Circus performer was present on stitls in scenes for cast to work with, facial expressions were useful, but then most of the time it's a tennis ball on a stick. It has to be a believable performacne for the audience, and it's a testament to the cast's skill.
What's Bumblebee's favourite song? The Touch, clearly.
Does Bumblebee prefer acting or wrestling? (Travis plugs John Cena) Bumblebee will surpirse people, he has been something of a warrio, but he's believeable and amotional and authentic as an emotional character, credit to the animators.
What did you like a bout TFs as you were younger, Cena? Having a Transformer meant you had two toys in one, it was absolutely amazing, and getting two with one was the best experience.
PETER CULLEN ASKS A QUESTION AS OPTIMUS PRIME
Travis Knight, my name is Optimus Prime, I could not help but notice my absence in much of your footage. (It is called Bumblebee). What does an Autobot have to do to get his own movie?
Let's test emotional range. Show us joyful exuberance. (This goes as expected.)

I heard a rumor some time ago that Blitzwing was in the movie but I passed it off as nonsense but uh maybe it was a lucky guess on that guy's part.
That's more credence about the rumor that (Potential film spoilers) Jet guy dies at the start which couldn't be the case if it was Starscream.
Slightly disappointed that it wasn't Ramjet but hey it certainly isn't the first time a Bay-verse Transformer isn't colored like the original (Besides Prime, Bee, Hound, 1/3 Megatron and Brawl off the top of my head)
I always did have some Fan fic ideas that G1 Blitzwing was once a Seeker before being reformatted into a Triple changer.
Black Hat wrote:Blitzwing huh? Interesting. I assume the trailer footage was non-finalized animation (remember Sentinel Prime and his gold deco in the trailer for DOTM?). I assume he'll just be a jet, though if he triple changes that would be cool too.
Or he isn't colored like G1 Blitzwing like most of the Transformers in these films.
