Paramount Reveals The Possible Identity Of The Mysterious Seeker From Transformers: Bumblebee Movie

Posted on June 20, 2018 at 3:29 pm by Silver Optimus under Transformers Movie (Just Movie)

Official Blog of Viacom (parent company of Paramount Pictures) has revealed the possible identity of the mysterious F-4 Seeker from the Teaser Trailer for the upcoming Travis Knight movie; Transformers: Bumblebee.

Very much like the skillful Seeker, the info went under our radar due to all the entertainment news which popped up, following the release of the trailer. The name was in debate ever since his first look. A recent article from Entertainment Weekly even stated that they’ve kept the Decepticon names all hush-hush.

The Viacom post also stated:

“Before The Last Knight or the Age of Extinction, before Decepticons started leveling American cities and destroying military bases, a yellow Volkswagen Beetle sits forgotten in a California junkyard. It’s been neglected long enough that a honeycomb of bees buzzes beneath its wheel well. Seventeen-year-old Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), takes it home.

“Let me tell you something, the driver don’t pick the car, the car pick the driver,” a hauntingly familiar voice-over – it’s the late Bernie Mac, warning Sam Wtiwicky (Shia LaBeouf) in 2007’s Transformers – announces at the trailer’s opening moments. “It’s a mystical bond between man and machine.””

We don’t want to give away the name right on our front page. You may want to check it out after the jump. The thread associated with this news post may contain the spoiler as well. If you are highly sensitive to possible spoilers, we suggest you to look away now.

IDW Bumblebee Movie Prequel #1 Full Preview

Posted on June 20, 2018 at 9:42 am by Black Convoy under Comics

Thanks to an article on SyFy.com website we can share for you the full preview of Bumblebee Movie Prequel #1.

This 5-page preview brings us Bumblebee during the 1960s-era in London. He’s been recruited for a mission by MI6. The article features some comments of writer John Barber:

“I couldn’t be more excited for the action, adventure, and heart this film promises to deliver,” he told SYFY WIRE. “For the prequel comic — knowing the movie had the 1980s covered — we went back further, to the time when we know Bumblebee was on Earth but before he finds himself in the state he’s in, come the ’80s.

“We took it back to London in the swinging 1960s, and we team Bumblebee with Britain’s top spy (well, self-proclaimed top spy at least) for a tale of an altogether different heartfelt relationship between human and Cybertronian! The art is by Andrew Griffith featuring colors by Priscilla Tramontano — two of my favorite collaborators. In fact, the three of us did a prequel to the thirdTransformersmovie, way back when. It was great to get the old band back together for some new tunes!”

Transformers: Bumblebee #1 arrives in comic shops on June 27. While you wait, you can check out the mirrored images, including all four covers, after the jump. Then, you can chime in your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Get ready to play! Finally, after their official announcement in March, we have an interesting update on the upcoming Transformers: Shadows Rising Arcade Game By Sega.

Transformers Shadows Rising is the long-awaited follow up to the smash hit licensed video game Transformers Human Alliance. Thanks to an article on Arcade Heroes Website, we can confirm that the game will be shown at the International Bowl Expo 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. New images of the cabinet are shown too. The cabinet has some extra modifications compared to the one we had seen previously in the official announcement back in March. According to the press release information, we will have a level in the moon:

“The action-packed gameplay takes place across three unique locations on Earth, and there is even a mission on the moon. All the action unfolds on a 55” Full HD monitor, at 60 frames per second thus delivering a crisp video. Set in a theatre cabinet with four speakers and subwoofer the whole experience is immersive and thrilling. As well as the fixed controllers, players can use the brand new ‘Hyperenergy Tech’ lever to either tactically destroy multiple enemies at once or defend against difficult enemy attack moves”.

Arcade Heroes have also uploaded a short gameplay video on their YouTube channel from previous Amusement Expo 2018 event. Tons of action and non-stop shooting, great battles and characters from all the live-action movies. You can check the video below, but remember this is not the complete game yet. You can also read the full press release with images of the new cabinet and some screencaps after the jump. Then, you can sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Star Trek vs Transformers – beaming down this September

Posted on June 19, 2018 at 4:40 pm by Black Convoy under Comics

They’ve crossed over with G.I. Joe, MASK, the Micronauts, Star Wars, and even the Avengers, but this September, IDW is taking the Transformers where no ‘bot has gone before in a crossover across the final frontier. It’s Star Trek vs Transformers!

Gizmodo reports that the crossover will run for four issues, and will be penned by John Barber and Mike Johnson, with art by Philip Murphy and colors by Leonardo Ito. The premise starts like many a classic Trek story – the Enterprise answers a distress signal close to Klingon space, only to find something strange and unexplained. In this case, what they find are 20th century aircraft attacking a dilithium mine – and then Optimus Prime shows up to help out.

What is great about this crossover, is that the artwork is specifically referencing the animated version of Star Trek, with characters like Lieutenant M’Ress and Lieutenant Arex represented in the cover artwork. The art also shows a very Generation 1 cartoon inspired Optimus Prime and Bumblebee – along with a distinctly not Generation 1 looking Windblade sticking out like an Ewok in a room full of Tribbles – and the plot sounds like a fun and very organic mash-up of two great franchises that made up a good chunk of our Saturday mornings growing up.

We’ll be looking forward to beaming up this crossover this September.
