The official Paramount Pictures YouTube Channel have just uploaded a new Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts New Clip – “Prime Meets Primal” for our viewing pleasure.
We have a extended scene featuring the moment when Optimus Prime meets Optimus Primal in the jungle and we can also spot some of the Autobots and Maximals.
Watch the video below and some screencaps after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

I am in love

That was fun

When Prime said I won’t ask a second time it gave me chills. Also I hate Wheeljacks design. It looks like a nerd

I love how Mirage screamed when Cheetor pounced on him.

I've seen a bit of her in a couple of the trailers, but I forget which ones.

Not that this has to do with the article but wasn\'t or isn\'t Nightbird in this movie?? Have seen zero of her anywhere. Or am I dilusional?
ThePrime84
I've been really happy with all these recent TV spots

Then they could have used Fisitron, which is an anagram of Ironfist and Hasbro does have the trademark for.

Based on the direction they seem to want to take Wheeljack in, there is only 1 truly acceptable actor who could nail it. Also, imagine the marketing possibilities for the next movie!

It is definitely confusing as to why they randomly changed Wheeljack so drastically but I personally don't think a design change matters much for a character as long as it works with their personality and well, character.
Oniconvoy
Right, but they hired someone else originally to record most of the dialogue to build the animation around. Cullen came in at the very end and had to impersonate the impersonator to match the animation. That’s why he says Prime doesn’t have the right inflection or sincerity, in his mind.

Wdm Cullen voiced him in BB

Optimus sounds so much better then he did in bumblebee that's what happens when u don't force someone to impersonate someone voicing your character

G1 Wheeljack wasn't shown to be particularly skilled at driving more than anyone else in any canon appearance that I know of. And the same seems like it will be true for ROTB Wheeljack. And in any case, ROTB Wheeljack just straight up doesn't look anything like him. They had the perfect design in the last movie and just scrapped it. The designs you showed are a fair bit more recognizable.
Jeddostotle7
That too, yeah.
Sneakoarc
Ironfist is probably too close to Ironhide so they likely didn't want to confuse people and Wheeljack is a more well known name as well.
Jeddostotle7
Can't say for absolute certain, sure, but from what I've seen of him in the released clips and trailers, his demeanor and personality, the way he acts, seems very different from G1 Wheeljack or any Wheeljack in that same mold (Cyberverse, etc.).
I do agree with what others have said that Ironfist would've been a much much better name for this character, a lot of what we've seen about him fits Ironfist a lot better (although of course there was never any way in hell they were gonna put a TF character named Ironfist in a movie, if only cuz they don't want any chance of stepping on Marvel's toes).
Sneakoarc
Tbf the movie isn't out yet so we can't say for sure other than that he indeed is a inventor type of character.
His G1 bio mentions him being a skilled driver just as much as him being a mad scientist and you did say you want characters to be faithful to their G1 counterparts right? Well rotb Wheeljack so far seems on point.
On the topic of Wheeljack, here are my two most favorite designs for him. The second one is technically unofficial since it is his dotm version but with a different head but that head was used on a dotm Wheeljack figure so I'd say it's valid View attachment 29942499

JD The Last Autobot
If the Maximals don't return in the sequel, they sure added Ratchet, Ironhide and Brawn to the team, two of whom are very good fighters and 'mature' by the way.
Purple Heart
But the Autobot team is still it’s own team, and unless the Maximals re-appear in the next movie(which I doubt), then your stuck with a mismatched cast of three kids and two adults.
And what about Porsche? Will they continue to support Mirage in the movies? Will Mirage have to turn into something else? Will Paramount just remove Mirage from the next one if Porsche doesn’t return?
