Wrap Party for Bumblebee: The Movie (new official name of the movie) was held yesterday and during the event, the robot mode head for Bumblebee was revealed.
Though our bot in yellow armor adopted his classic Volkswagen Beetle form as his vehicle mode, the robot mode head however is closely resembling his modern take (a.k.a Bayverse). However, the new look does indeed borrow certain elements evoking an 80s look. For example: the crest is now shaped as a hood of a VW car.
Directed by Travis Knight with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, it is the sixth installment in the live-action Transformers film series, based on the Transformers’ character of the same name, and serves as a prequel to Transformers (2007). The film stars Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Rachel Crow, and Pamela Adlon. Principal photography on the film began on July 31, 2017, in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California.
The title card for the movie was also revealed and you can check it out, after the jump.

I have way too much hope for this movie.

Not what I know of, though there is speculations on that he lost his voice before leaving Cybertron as hinted by movie 1 (Ratchet talked about having worked on repairing his voice for a while in the scene he came to Earth). No solid confirmation though, so we'll see.
John TheDestroyer
That's true. I didn't think of that. Still hope he has his voice for this one. There's nothing that really says he won't right?
Unicrons Herald
We must also remember he had the plug during WWII, which takes place before the events of this movie. Which means it would be odd for him to have the plug, loose it, and then have it again. Thus it's better he has it now as well.
John TheDestroyer
Well g1 wasn't the only time he had a mouth.
I was hoping his new voice in Tlk would have had a mouth to go with it. Since it didn't, we have no way of knowing if he'll have his voice in this one or not.

People up there who says he need his plug being removed are dumb. It's the thing we all love in Bumblebee – being mouthless and cute. And y'all trying to turn everything into G1 ugliness don't you…
John TheDestroyer
I'd be down for that. I'd miss his grill/headlight chest though. That's kinda been an iconic movie Bee thing so far.

Is it wrong to somewhat hope that the front end of the VW beetle makes up his feet and the rear end makes his chest?

I can\'t wait to see his actual image that Way I can get started on my new cosplay rendition……Bumblebee.
Niv3k
Can't wait to see his full (CGI) render.

Looks WW-ish if you ask me.

If only we had more games

Kinda looks like the title screen of a NES game. I'm guessing an assortment of 80's retro games/merc/toys will be heading our way next year! G1 bumblebee key rings will be making a comeback! lol

I get the feeling that something is missing, or something happened while I was away.
-very suspicious.
nobleboivin
really wish they removed the plunger mouth. Although looking at it fast it looks like Bee has an epic
John TheDestroyer
He got the abs and the red panel leading up to his elbow is a bit different.

He got abbs I think. In his chest area. That is it if I remember correctly (obviously besides his trailer upgrade).

Well…I collect those overpriced statues and figures. After a while one develops a useless sensitivity to the subtle changes.
