It is only available as a promo, so probably just people that Paramount sent the copy to.

That's too bad. I think it would actually sell really well, to be honest. Last year, a favorite singer of mine released an album, and the cassette version of it sold out the fastest of all the limited edition versions.

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!

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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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%

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 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.

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.

Aimless Misfire wrote:Why do they have to push "FEMALE" on everything these days?
We don't really ...
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?
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.
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?
Because no one else sees it as an issue except for you apparently.
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.
Clearly YOU care seeing as you just gave us your opinion.
You want a boom? Have a warning, go read the rules while you're at it.
