Tonight’s the night! The Bumblebee Movie officially hits theaters for it’s early screenings in the United States tonight. As the night progresses – sound off on your thoughts in our ongoing Bumblebee Movie Discussion Thread. This will contain spoilers galore, and is mainly designed for those who have seen the movie. You can also bounce around the entire Movie Forum for more focused topics. We’ll do our best to keep spoilers out of titles, but if you are sensitive to that, keep clear!
To celebrate the new movie, I ran the OG that started it all – a G1 Bumblebee toy – through a gallery session. This is the 2018 Legion Class reissue from Hasbro. He dropped earlier in the year via Wal-Mart but disappeared quick. Luckily site sponsor TFSource got some additional stock in and my copy showed up this morning, it must be fate! There isn’t much to him but awesomeness so enjoy the 30 couple shots after the break.
See you guys in a couple hours for Bee movie talk!
Masterpiece Releases: MPM7 Bumblebee, MP-17+ Prowl, MP-29+ Shockwave, MP-36+ Megatron, MP-20+ Wheeljack, Masterpiece Pre-Orders.

so after watching bb again i really dont like the placement of the prime scene, it feels like they wanted it at the beginning but it probably felt like it went on to much but i felt like travis wanted the forest scene near the middle to have an emotional impact as the main focus but flashback makes it feel like they pushed it to the side

Thanks, I'll have to look it up…

The Winter Soldier did it first

I hope it can happen again.

The fact that we can have Transformers movies now where characters are recognizable and you’re able to actually see them in an action scene is a great achievement.
Digger
I hope they do more. I don’t care if they’re inaccurate to what they’ll look like in later films. It’s just be so cool to get some companion pieces with Prime.

…i totally skipped nearly all of the previous movie toys, but i'm in for every studio series figure from the bumblebee movie…
Digger
Same man. That’s the iconic value it should have. And the feeling of “buy our toys!” has never felt better.

I just watched this and can’t believe how much I enjoyed myself. Is this the direction the movies are going from now on?
I can’t believe I recognised brawn, ratchet, ironhide, arcee, and everyone in the first 5 minutes without any of them having to say their names. Just such an easy and fun film to watch. Not trying to be anything but that.

Ah, yep, it's a fun trend. I should go through the Marvel movie credits and see which was the first to do something like this…
Digger
Hailee Steinfeld, not too bad music.
Mako Crab
Sort of.
They had still images of the casts’ silhouettes recreating scenes from the movie.

Did the credits have a snappy montage going? I can't remember for sure, but that seems to be the trend lately. I've noticed it with Shazam and the marvel movies. I wonder which movies started it…

Was watching this again just the other day & really love the end credit music. It’s just so upbeat & fun. Reminds me that at the end of the day, this movie was meant for pure enjoyment & left me with a big smile after I turned it off.
Digger
I don’t have anything that plays Blu Ray. I should own this movie though. I owe it to myself.

I'm the opposite of that post where I got the Bay movies right away on DVD and Blu Ray but have almost major desire to get Bumblebee. I might wait and see if I can get that one on eBay…

You should be able to get them for dirt cheap, at least, if you do decide to eventually purchase.
eBay, second hand etc.
