First up, Paramount writes the following when it comes to Transformers Rise of the Beasts :
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will be released theatrically in 2023 and is the first of three new installments.
What this will mean for the story within those movies is unknown, but it is nice to know there appears to be a long term plan.
Second, Paramount cross-advertised the Nickelodeon cartoon, which is set to premier later in 2023.
Finally, Paramount has advised that a CG Animated Transformers film is still on the docket for 2024. While we get no further details on that movie, it is nice to know they are keeping us posted that it is coming.
You can check out the Tweet below where Paramount advertised this information, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Exactly. Plus, those films have a built in audience and people like familiarity. No point in alienating the audience.

That’s a good point. It’s just a shame that the continuity itself is pretty fucked by this point, but I guess as long as the movies bring in that money.

Question is, would anyone see it? Bumblebee apparently already suffered in the box office from backlash over Last Knight's reception; I doubt a direct sequel would garner much sympathy even if it was better made.

Well, they'll have to at some point if they're making that Hasbro Cinematic Universe, otherwise it's the same "mesh together pre-established continuities and rush in new ones" mess from the Hasbro Comic Universe. Unless they already gave up on it.
Also, didn't TLK's performance prove that continuity isn't as successful anymore? At least not in their pre-Bumblebee approach?

True that.
I'm all for a fresh reboot, Bee Movie being Episode 1 of the new series.

Though, I feel like TLK was as poorly done as it was on purpose, at least on Bay's part. He'd been wanting out of these movies since before DOTM, but Hasbro kept sending dump trucks full of cash to dump on his front lawn. TLK felt like he was trying to make a movie so bad that it would finally convince Hasbro to let him go (at least as a director, since he was still a producer on Bumblebee). I mean, putting Nazi banners on Winston Churchill's estate, of all things? The offensiveness of that decision had to be intentional. No sane, respectable person would have done that if they weren't trying to get themselves axed.

Haha lol, very sharp my friend.
Yes, Bay didn't care anymore with that last one. It's everywhere, I was extremely dissapointed and I watched Revenge of the Fallen.
But this whole, lets start a flippin trilogy. Get out of here, just make 1 good or at least decent movie. See how it's received and then a sequel.
Anyway, todays consumers vote with their wallets more and more. That's why nonsense like Star Wars etc. are slowely dying as a marketing strategy.
Good movies will be rewarded. Bad ones riding on nostalgia or pre established work by talented people will eventually crash and burn. It may take 3 movies to get there, but the people decide in the end. I refuse to watch the Last Jedi and it's on Netflix I think.
Just keep that Cybertron scene vibe from Bumblebee and just be good and creative.

It probably didn't help the continuity that every film since Revenge of the Fallen had the same plot beat of "the Transformers actually were here in the past and changed human history", needing a new retcon for every new period they supposedly interfered with.
Though honestly, I blame the failure of TLK not (just) on Bay's usual hands off, "effects first story second" directing, but also on whatever exec decided to pick three different story pitches from the new writers room and cram them all into a single movie.
I also didn't feel as disappointed with TLK as I was with RoTF. Maybe it's because I heard so many people badmouth TLK and was expecting something worse, maybe it's because RoTF picked a part of the mythos I love (the Thirteen) and completely squandered it.

Bumblebee doesn't feel fresh enough. While I like the film as stand alone, it is also an origin movie for the Bayverse Bee many kids grew up with. Like how he lost his voice and learnt to express himself with the radio. And at the end he even transforms into a similar car that we see in the beginning of Transformers 1. Plus, he has the same Bayverse Bee face, it's all still too Bay for me to consider it a fresh start.
By the way, someone is posting what I am 100% sure is a purposely false rumour but oh man would this piss people off. Someone said, what if Scourge in ROTB is actually a future version of Bayverse Prime that came back to the past to ensure the autobots don't get whatever maguffin this film is about. Like that you can change the past (and future) but still preserve the Bay continuity, kinda like what Star Trek did.

Kinda an interesting concept actually. If it turn out to be true, let's hope it will be better handled than the abysmal "Nemesis Prime" from TLK.

To me, that sounds like someone yanked that idea from the Nemesis Prime seen in Netflix WFCT cartoon: An evil Optimus from the future battling his heroic past self trying to change history.william-james88 wrote:By the way, someone is posting what I am 100% sure is a purposely false rumour but oh man would this piss people off.

Oh for sure, it's just a joke to see people lose their shit.

Was the robot character list we got before supposed to be for all of the ones that appear in the movie, or just for the main ones and not including any minor/background ones?

Unsure, I have sort of been disconnected from the movie rumor news, so we will need someone else to talk about it. But i have a feeling it was a full character list, or meant to be, despite there being maybe 4 beasts listed only

Barricade keeping appearing in between movies is really cool.
About the character list for Rise of the Beasts,I feel every movie since Revenge of The Fallen has huge character list,even if the main cast is smaller.Bumblebee is a goor example of this;you can describe the movie main robots to be Bumblebee,Shatter and Dropkick,with other Transformers being reserved for othert scenes.
That's what I imagine as a possibility for ROTB.

“We’re partnering with eOne, Paramount, and a visionary new director to bring to life a Transformers story like you’ve never seen. The film will pick up after the events of 2018’s Bumblebee and follows Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and an unlikely team of humans who are joined by a group of powerful new allies; the Transformers Beasts. The introduction of beast characters will be a significant moment for all. From kids to core fans, and especially those who grew up with Beast Wars in the 90s. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts raises the stakes and set us up for what’s to come over the next few years in our film franchise.”

It's still used officially by Hasbro, so unless they tell me otherwise, I won't assume anything else. The Bay films weren't numbered in the titles and had no internal continuity, so this seventh film is no different.

Despite this, I still believe that they can salvage the Unicron storyline from TF:TLK if they play the Beast Wars right. My idea would be that the Beasts discover Unicron is in fact the core of the planet (as it looks in that movie, a la TF Prime) and somehow manage to subdue him...until the events of TLK awaken him, then they can create a subsequent line from there dealing with his reawakening. If time travel is involved in this movie, then they can retcon everything wiping out the Bayverse entirely...but since Unicron is a being that exists outside the normal universe a time reset wouldn't necessarily affect him.

A couple of posters on TFW2005 have theories (their words clipped directly from the linked posts):
12 o’ clock - Gorilla - Optimus Primal
1 o’ clock - Pterosaur - Terrorsaur
2 o’ clock - Wing of a Falcon(?) (Obscured by Logo) - Airrazor
4 o’ clock - Tarantula - Tarantulas / Tarantula or Black Widow (half hourglass in abdomen)
5 o’ clock - Either a Rat or Wasp - Rattrap or Waspinator / Rat for sure - Rattrap
6 o’ clock - Possibly a Snake - Quickstrike / Dinosaur - Megatron
7 o’ clock - Fish or Bird(?) (I cannot tell, all I can see is some vague fins or wings) / Fish(?) or Bird(?) or Rhino(?) (Can't tell either, perhaps those fins/wings are horns?)
8 o’ clock - Scorpion - Scorponok
10 o’ clock - Cheetah - Cheetor
11 o’ clock - Velociraptor - Dinobot

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. No Dialogue was utterred, it was only 12 seconds of shots across.
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.
