To our surprise, a very brief early footage from Transformers Rise of the Beasts was shown a the recent Cinemacon 2022 event.
Some lucky attendants were able to watch the scenes and commented some details on social media platforms. Read on for some highlights:
- It was only 12 seconds of footage.
- No dialogue.
- It started with a shot of Optimus Prime turning around
- Optimus, Bumblebee, and Arcee were shown.
- Arcee was seen in her robot mode hanging off the side of a vehicle with a giant gun.
- Arcee looks reminiscent of classic G1 Arcee (viewers opinion).
- Optimus Prime looked very similar to what we saw in the Bumblebee Movie.
- Anthony Ramos was shown weaving in and out of cars, and driving next to Arcee.
- Unfortunately, no beasts were shown.

wtf did i miss

Oh god don't open the can of worm

I'm pretty sure they ARE one continuity

I fell asleep watching ROTF for the first time, so I never saw that horrific face until buying it on Blu-Ray. Even then, that part of the movie always bored me.
TF Hot Rod
Oh, I agree as well and I don't hate his face completely either. I mean it helps that that's the version of Bumblebee I grew up with.
I shared another post after that showing other images from the 07 movie, DOTM and TLK and the face looks better in other shots just I felt like that photo was the better of the other since the lighting was similar and you get a closer look at the face like you do in that shot in Bumblebee with the yellow-ish orange light shining on his face.

Unpopular opinion here, but i don't think BayBee's face looks so bad. I always loved him as a kid and i still love him!

I'm glad the BB face is remaining in this movie. Even if they bay elements are present, we will be so much better off without the creepy ball gag skeleton face the bayverse design has. The BB is also much more likable and memorable than the bayverse design which has car pieces dangling off of it.
TF Hot Rod
That somewhat works as well suprisingly.

wrong batman villain

Similar Energy (IDK why I thought of this that shot from BTAS a comparison)

Hohoho this is going to be juicy
TF Hot Rod
True, but still I feel like there was more continuity between the first 3 films than all 5. I watched clips of the bts stuff for ROTF, and Bay said he wanted to explore them being on Earth before we meant them in the 07 movie even though Earth was a “unknown planet” and I feel like they would have known about Earth if the Primes were on Earth or even just knew to go to Earth.

There was no planning throughout all five movies. Even in the first three the continuity is all whack.

DOTM and ROTF aren't totally irreconcilable but the way TLK actively ignored pretty much everything about AOE is what burnt me out on most of the bay stuff tbh. they actively went out of their way to throw in a new form for megatron, the history bullshit (though that was building on all four movies i guess), a villainous "creator", stanley tucci, more robot knight stuff, and a gimmick for bumblebee that was a worse version of the gimmick of the guy whose' body plan he took on last movie, without even using that body anymore to justify it! there's a ton of stuff that was like, conceptually the same as AOE, but literally nothing ties together between the two movies except "optimus prime is a knight and the dinobots are here and someone created optimus prime at some point." and the dinobots being "here" is an overstatement since they were around for 5 seconds in dinosaur mode and then the knight stuff starts happening annnnnd we have a big dragon so the dinobots are forgotten about…
TF Hot Rod
I wouldn't be surprised, IDK why I thought at the time there would still be danger of Bee dying still or that Bee might die.
I think some things were planned mainly for the first three films but not everything and them after DOTM definitely not much.
octobotimus
Not a single thing was planned out for these movies. I try not to think about anything in them for more than a second, otherwise it's either a headache or depression.
SPLIT LIP
I genuinely believe his inexplicable reconstitution ability was just so Optimus could beat the shit out of him and he'd still be fine for the final battle.
Like where was this ability at the end of TF1?
TF Hot Rod
Cursed. The whole desission to have Bee be able to split apart and come together was such a bad and cursed idea. It reduces the risk and danger of any situation he could be in.
All those idea's involve some way of blowing you up.
Azuzu98
Yes he's smiling there. Thinking about 40 ways to fuck you up.
