Image of Frozen Bayverse Megatron in Bumblebee Movie Tie In Comic

Wow,its so well drawn.Maybe they are using it to tie with Masterpiece and a possible studio series version?

I still want to see the Bumblebee Movie concept art for Megatron though.

Happy Bee Day!

With today marking the release of the Bumblebee Movie on home media, we've got two stories to share!

The first is that Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), the company behind the movie's effects, have posted a case study on their work for the film. The study is a treasure trove of information and concept art from the movie's opening Cybertron scene, some of which we have mirrored here for your convenience.

Please click here for the case study and enjoy the concept art! Don't forget that Bumblebee is out now on DVD, Blu Ray and Ultra 4K Blu Ray, pick up your copy today.

















The second story is that the Bumblebee statue has arrived at Pier 39 in San Francisco! Celebrating the home media release! We have recieved this press release from Paramount to go along with the following publicity shots which we share below:

A larger-than-life Bumblebee statue greets fans at PIER 39 on Tuesday, April 2, 2019 in San Francisco, Calif. to celebrate the hit film’s arrival on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. An action-packed adventure that’s fun for the whole family, Bumblebee features several locations around San Francisco.



Fans pose for photos with a towering Bumblebee statue at PIER 39 on Tuesday, April 2, 2019 in San Francisco, Calif. to celebrate the hit film’s arrival on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. An action-packed adventure that’s fun for the whole family, Bumblebee features several locations around San Francisco.

What do you think of the effort that ILM went to for this movie? Will you be visiting Pier 39 while Bumblebee is there? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Wish we had an artist's concept of Soundwave's cybertronian alt mode

Besides that, love the art, and am I the only one getting WFC(the game) vibes from both Bee and Prime in vehicle mode? Both have alot of cues to that look for me

I see it too. I think they look cool.

I still would be interested in hearing a rationalization why Cybertronian Optimus Prime has truck windows on his chest. Did Alpha Trion have a premonition that Optimus would eventually need to travel to another planet and blend in with the fleshling's delivery vehicles? Just because we didn't question 1980's cartoon logic doesn't mean I won't question 2019 movie logic. ILM designers have gotten criminally lazy since GL sold them off.

It's because Travis Knight wanted him to look like G1 Optimus.

Those pictures look great!

These are gorgeous right here.

And they are proof to me that I really really REALLY wish these designs would have been the foundation of a new, different universe movie or TV series. They are so cool, but so at odds with the design from this universe that I really like that that dominates the rest of the movie.

Still love them though, just needed to be in a different place.

BTW, I now really want an "Into the Spiderverse" but using Transformers

We have a fun feature for you today. The Seibertron site got to meet the writer for Bumblebee, Christina Hodson, for an interview conducted by our very own Jon Bailey. There was more fun to be had as well:

Go with Jon Bailey (voices of Shockwave & Soundwave) to Paramount Studios to interview Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson, create the sounds of Bumblenee with foley artists Dawn Lunsford and Alicia Stevenson & go under the hood of the actual VW Bumblebee car with mechanic Sarah Lyon! BUMBLEBEE IS OUT NOW ON DIGITAL, DVD, BLU-RAY & 4K ULTRA HD!
Special thanks to Paramount & Seibertron.com!

We hope you had fun with this as much as Jon did. Please remember that Bumblebee is out on Blu Ray today for all of you to enjoy!

I love that when you go to the link to look at all of them, you get to arcee, and they have a headshot of one of the 3rd party toys.

Not the first time it’s happened. I still remember watching the SFX section of the first movie and of course the main animator that’s interviewed was someone who looks like a stereotypical transformers nerd. Over weight, glasses, transformers shirt and a desk that is engulfed in toys and what’s right in front of them all? Fansproject city commander.

Way to go Jon!!!

Well it was a one day thing, and how do we know what was on the tape? It could have just been a Rick roll with Bee's face over Rick Astley

They don't look specifically like truck windows to me.

Maybe you're interpreting the shapes that way because we know he eventually gains his truck alt mode.

Great work Jon! Also great work in Bumblebee! Your Shockwave and Soundwave were spot on! My friends really thought that was Corey Burton and Frank Welker! I said “no! That’s the guy who does the voice in Homest Trailers and he actually played Optimus Prime in a cartoon!” It blew their mind.

They sure do, I stated that in another post. I felt that way too when I saw the planet design and layout of Cybertron in the opening minutes for Bumblebee! It's amazing

As you know, Seibertron's very own Jon Bailey voiced both Shockwave and Soundwave in the Bumblebee movie. And now, for the How it Should Have Ended youtube video for Bumblebee, Jon gets to voice every other Transformer (except for Bumblebee). So you can hear him as Soundwave and Shockwave again along with ratchet and of course Optimus Prime, who he previously voiced in Combiner Wars (as well as the prep voice in the Bumblebee film). Pretty cool to see that it's all the same person voicing all those bots. Paramount has approved of this youtube video as well, which is always an added bonus for fanwork. We hope you enjoy it, it's a pretty funny video, especially all the Optimus bits.

So Paramount approved and sponsored this awesome collab I worked on with HISHE. I voice all the main Transformers characters except Bumblebee! And Paramount was cool with me doing the voices!

Jon's voice talents are insane! It's become almost impossible to tell his voice from Peter Cullen's. If Hasbro doesn't hand the reins over to him when Peter decides he's done, it would be a crime.

Wow, if I realized that fan works were newsworthy, I literally would have submitted this yesterday

That being said, this HISHE was awesome, I especially loved how Starscream’s design transferred to 2D, Shockwave on the other hand increased his thicc levels by at least 20%

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kPIdRJlzERo This will make sense as soon as news reports it.

Just finished watching my copy of Bumblebee, loved it as much as I did in the theatre.

I've really fallen in love with the designs used in the movie. The Cybertron scenes are great live action FOC designs, and the Earth designs are great. I love Shatter and Dropkick, Decepticons done much better justice, and wholly original! Dropkick is unhinged and Shatter just oozes Decepticon when she speaks

Why do they have to push "FEMALE" on everything these days? As if women are something new & never existed before now. We're here with FEMALE mechanics & I love writing FEMALE characters & it's about time Transformers had a FEMALE lead. WTF? Ok, feminists & SJW's, we get it, women can do stuff. Newsflash: NOBODY CARES! Now please stop shoving it in our face. Transformers is a BOYS toy line, it was originally for MALES. Now piss off & go back to where you belong & make a Strawberry Shortcake or Rainbow Brite movie for FEMALES. Jeez, enough is enough.


Why is nobody bitching about this? All you see is everybody bitching about SJW Star Wars & Captain Marvel but Bumblebee gets a free pass? Why is nobody talking about women pushing their BS here? Who cares if a male or female is a mechanic? Seriously! It doesn't matter if you have a penis or a vagina to fix cars. This world is getting more ridiculous & insane by the hour.

I dunno, maybe because we're all okay with gender equality and have better things to do than complain about it?

Fanwrok is not newsworthy but this was pushed by Paramount and features the same voice actor they picked for their film. If we news Christmas messages from the beast wars cast then newsing this too makes sense.

I fail to see why this is a problem.

Ok, feminists & SJW's, we get it, women can do stuff. Newsflash: NOBODY CARES!

Considering women have been subjugated for centuries, and continue to do so because a lot of young women are growing up without any strong female role models in media ... a lot of people care.

Just because you don't doesn't make it fact.

Now please stop shoving it in our face.

But it's okay for you to shove your opinion back? hmmmm....

Transformers is a BOYS toy line, it was originally for MALES.

Yes and Barbie was aimed at girls, but hey, here's a shocker, boys play with them too!

You know what toys are for? A child's imagination. A boy could take a Barbie doll and pretend it's anything but a Barbie doll, just like a girl can take a Transformer and pretend it's something else as well. Honestly, what you just said is so narrow minded.

Now piss off & go back to where you belong & make a Strawberry Shortcake or Rainbow Brite movie for FEMALES. Jeez, enough is enough.

NO!
You know what's enough? YOU thinking you can come on these forums and sprout your bile.

Hoping if Shockwave is to be used again, he sounds different be it the same voice actor or another.

Paramount approved. I was wondering why hishe didn’t take their usual sarcastic potshots in this video. Now I know.

That was an uncanny impression of Corey Burton's Ratchet, lol.

Dude he’s a troll. He jumps sites to start arguments because he gets off on it.


Guys. If you see MisfireAimless post just ignore it.


He’s got a rep on tfw2005 and here for starting arguments and then just watches. Just ignore him. Don’t reply, argue and counter what he says. Threads have had to be deleted due to him: just don’t fuel it

Easily one of the weakest HISHE vids I've watched in a while.

He’s bad. I don’t get it. I understand if you feel you have something to say but as long you keep it civil and make it a friendly debate which I can get behind but he just starts fires about any subject and for the Hell of it watches from a distance.

Aimless Misfire wrote:All you see is everybody bitching about SJW Star Wars & Captain Marvel

As a fan of all these franchises as well, I do not like the direction Disney is going with SW, but not because of female characters, its just because TLJ was a genuinely bad film. Captain Marvel was pretty meh...but not because its a female lead film, but because IMHO Brie Larson really isn't a great actress. Bumblebee on the other hand was a genuinely fun, and enjoyable movie. It isn't perfect, but there is very little to complain about. Hailee Steinfeld , John Cena & the supporting cast did very well.

If you take issue with some of the comments made by Christina Hodson, I would say, don't worry about it. It is a great movie because EVERYONE involved seemed to really care, regardless of gender.


Also I imagine in the near future Screen Junkies will likely do an Honest Trailer for Bumblebee (Voiced By Jon Bailey)...will it be newsed as well? ...actually thinking about it, they might not, since they actually like the film

o.supreme wrote:Also I imagine in the near future Screen Junkies will likely do an Honest Trailer for Bumblebee (Voiced By Jon Bailey)...will it be newsed as well? ...actually thinking about it, they might not, since they actually like the film

I guess this means Screenrant's Pitch Meeting for Bumblebee won't be newsed when it comes out, since Ryan George does those by himself.

Guys, as I wrote above, the reason this was newsed was because it was Officially sponsored by paramount, making this an extension of Bumblebee's official marketting campaign so it is newsed as any other official marketting is newsed.

If there are no official ties, it stays on the boards like everything else.

For the next Transformers are you looking for new directors or hoping you can still make Michael Bay an offer?

I think Bay has made it really clear that he loved what he did and he’s not doing anymore. So I think the answer is we’re writing a script. At that point, once we get script we have a strong belief in, then we’ll begin to debate that. Michael’s made it really clear that he didn’t want to do it. I don’t blame him. He spent a hell of a lot, a decade of his life, shooting them.


Are you developing a script that picks up where The Last Knight left off?

No.

People are jumping to conclusions again. All that is said is they are not picking up where the previous one left off, which we reported multiple times. Doesn't mean Bayverse is dead or anything like that, just that they wont follow up on the Unicron thing. Its still a Transformers sequel and another addition to the existing franchise.

You don’t understand how this is news? That’s fine I don’t understand people in their 30s and 40s can nitpick and tear a toy apart and act like they can do better with the same budget

No no no, I meant that Bay isn't directing in the franchise anymore. I don't really care if the Bayverse/Movieverse continues or not.
