We are only few hours away from the new Transformers: Bumblebee trailer. Yes; as we were officially informed, the release time of the new trailer has been revised to 3:00AM Eastern Time from the original 8:00AM.
As we wait for the new trailer to drop, we decided to look into the hot topic regarding the new design aesthetic of the movie. Specifically the Cybertron prologue sequence which showcases heavy G1 influence.
What better person to explain that than the maestro himself. We move back to the past to our coverage of the SDCC 2018 Bumblebee Movie Panel to expand upon a statement made by director Travis Knight.
“We didn’t start on this film with a blank canvas. You know, there are 10 years of a filmic designs that we’ve seen on the screen, but because we set this film 20 years prior to the first Transformers film, it gave us some license, some liberty to play around with the design aesthetic. For me, I wanted to try to evoke the feeling that first wave of Transformers designs made me feel and so that was leaning into the aesthetic, the silhouettes, the shape language, the plating, the color of that first generation of design. There is something that to this day are still so beautiful and I think are hard to top. I think the film is not slavishly following that mold, but it is bringing that aesthetic and weaving it into a more modern point of view so it’s something entirely new, but hopefully it has that feeling of that first wave of Transformers.”
The director seems to be blending both world together for a good combination. His intention is to allow the audience to embrace G1 and Bayverse for a unique experience. The positive buzz on social media after the clips seems to indicate just that. Don’t forget to tune into TFW2005 for the full trailer.

Nope, it just has a very similar aesthetic to War for Cybertron / Fall of Cybertron.

Some say this from a games can someone confirm it?

Okay, so apparently this is legit. I get to eat crow about that. I just find it a touch odd that they not only slap G1 aesthetics on ONLY the Cybertron scenes, but that they also are a totally different style of CG than the rest of the effects we've seen so far. I'm baffled as to why they went half ass, then? They're trying to keep spamming the Bayverse Bee look while simultaneously trying to pander to the nostalgia crowd with the G1 looks? I just don't know WHAT to think at this point.

Never forget what this leads into. These tactics are too little too late. If they were really starting over and turning over a new leaf, Blitzwing wouldn't have spent months being mistaken for Starscream and Bumblebee wouldn't be loaded with weaponry and swords. You could take TF and do anything you want with it and it would likely be more accurate than what they have produced yet again.
This movie doesn't deserve a chance, they had 5 already. Too bad. 5% there is still not there.

I’m still not convinced that Soundwave isn’t a Kamen Rider and that this thread shouldn’t be on Tokunation~
