TRANSFORMERS: Steven Caple Jr.'s Movie Casts HAMILTON And IN THE HEIGHTS Star Anthony Ramos In Lead Role

I like this, this dude is a talented actor. Hopefully this movie is better than what Michael Bay created.

Two different films? Can one of them be a Transformers/GI JOE crossover? We need a good Hasbroverse

1. What happened to the Transformers ONLY on Cybertron CGI only movie they announced?

2. Stop making Bumble Bee the main Bot if he doesn't [frick]ing speak. Micheal Bay thought it was cute but it's not. Bumble Bee [frick]ing speaks.

Love Anthony Ramos, he needs to be in more stuff in general.

In regards to this film, I was kind of hoping for a direct Bumblebee sequel, that film really could help kick off a better cinematic universe. I'm willing to see what this film is about though as long as it's not related to Bay's films and treats the lore with respect.

Honestly Paramount should follow a model similar to the one laid out in the video below: take a page from the MCU by focusing on a few solo films that eventually lead up to a event movie involving all of those previous characters. Similar to the Avengers films, those and similar event films can be the ones labeled "Transformers".




Here's part of my pitch for a direct sequel:

Optimus leaves Bumblebee to defend Earth while he's out looking for other lost Autobots, while a group of fellow Autobots are on their way to Earth. Remember how we saw 7 pods on their way to Earth at the end of Bumblebee? 3 of those pods would be for Autobots, while the other 4 are Decepticons.

Bumblebee spots these 4 pods streaking across the sky and races through oncoming traffic to catch up to them, grabbing the attention of Charlie and Memo (who are driving along the same way) and follow him to a nearby valley. Although expecting to meet the Autobots, Bumblebee is instead greeted by the Decepticons. They are: Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Lugnut. Bee fights them valiantly but is eventually overpowered despite Charlie's interference. Thankfully the actual Autobots--Ratchet, Arcee, and a black-and-white Autobot commander named J-523--step in and hold off Starscream and co., forcing them to retreat. Charlie leads the Autobots and a weakened Bumblebee to her uncle's garage, where Ratchet repairs Bee, including FIXING HIS GODDAMNED VOICE (Dylan O'Brien is back as the voice). Bee thanks them and reunites with Charlie and Memo, and the three of them decide to help Ratchet, Arcee, and J-523 get acclimated to Earth while also going up against the Decepticons. Not sure what that would entail specifically, but J-523 is fond of Earth culture and music in particular, and decides to change his name to his more recognizable one, Jazz.

Meanwhile, Sector 7 has recovered the parts of the Decepticons killed in the last film-- Blitzwing, Shatter, and Dropkick--with the help of an arrogant scientist named Dr. Arkeville (a character from the G1 cartoon). Starscream and co. find Arkeville and decide to partner up, with Arkeville using the pieces of all 3 fallen Decepticons to build a new Blitzwing that combines the three personalities of the original Blitzwing with Shatter and Dropkick (similar to Blitzwing from Animated) that is much more violent and unstable, providing a new kind of threat towards Bee and the others. Bee's arc in this one is initially being at odds with his leader position, constantly comparing himself to Optimus when he fails to make the right decision, though he'd steadily become more confident as a leader throughout the film.
