The official Transformers Movie Instagram have just uploaded a new Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts reel “When The Rideshare Is Sus” where we have a clear look at Autobot Stratosphere transformation sequence.
Watch the clip here or an alternative YouTube mirror below, but be aware that this clip contatins SPOILERS of the movie. If you chose to watch it, sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Based on his and NZ's toys he was to possess the headless body of Nitro Zeus after Bee blows his head off.

I’m just bummed that here’s another example of a topic I love (Transformers) being delivered with big-budget effects but lowbrow writing and direction. I literally can’t dumb myself down enough to enjoy this.
Bumblebee wasn’t exactly great, but it showed signs of the franchise maybe turning the corner. I always felt that the TF IP could be the basis for fantastic movies, but this feels like yet another alien robot / WWE mashup. Just so disappointing.

I mean come on, they could have at least used one of the good Peter Cullen AI voices

I'll never jive with this kind of tiktok/Instagram shit, especially dropping a "Sus" through an AI generated Peter Cullen, but the clip itself made me laugh kind of.
Something about a pretty epic looking transformation sequence immediately cutting to a giant robot just aggressively vomiting is just funny to me. I think it has more to do with the pacing of the clip than it does the scene itself though and probably won't get much bigger of a chuckle out of me when I watch the actual movie.

I don't know where people get this impression that Transformers follow hard robot logic.
They've pretty much always been metal humans, with their resilience in the face of dismemberment being the only real reminder that they're mechanical in nature. Heck, it's right in the Japanese subtitle for the franchise "Super Robot Lifeform: Transformers".
For practically any human condition, either boon or ailment, there's been a mechanical/electronic equivalent written into the Transformers lore at some point.
Rukarus
This guy reminds me of ROTF Jetfire so far

I like the bit where Grimlock tries drowning Perceptor in Combiner Wars, like whaaaaaaa? (8:46 minute mark)
John Titor
For sure, he's a trans-former

Not gonna lie that actually sounds kind of funny. (Also wheeljack trans confirmed???) It’s mostly the gross out factor that had me groaning at this one. I don’t come to these movies for vomit gags and poop jokes. They don’t need to be overly serious, but imo that’s the lowest form of comedy.
Prescient
Pretty sure there have been various occasions when they have, certainly in bayverse.
Regardless, after the dance scene in the 86' movie, nothing was off the table….
Never forget the below for setting the precedent of
Anyway, imo ROTB is lining up to be the best TF film for a long long time.
Certainly better than that overly soft and gentle minimalist plot that was Bumblebee.

To be fair, Galvatron tries to choke out Hotrod in their final battle and that was from 30+ years ago.
Still think this sequence is kind of dumb, but robots choking is old hat at this point.
Spartan Prime
Of course it isn't, it's obviously the tiktok/IG text-to-speech filter that came out weeks ago.
Spartan Prime
Deep inhale.
Slow sigh.
BBJazz
Yeah uh, looks bad. Also Mirage doesn't have to walk he's literally a car. I get it's just a joke but it's kind of a weird one.
Terror of space
Okay, why is a cybertronian choking? I’m confused about Cybertronian’s abel to choke out…
James Sutterlin
Same. I like that he had the cartoon style stash too and not a lot of weird gribblies rolling off his chin.
The Sycophant Starscream
Um…that's very bayverse of stratosphere.
artimus prime
Maybe I'm watching too many trailers. But a lot of the transformations and fight sequences have been reskinned from Bayverse movies. The Optimus Prime vs Scourge trailer is a redo of Optimus Prime versus Bonecrusher in the 07 movie.

Watched the clip…
Really? Some of you are that upset over an old guy coughing up more or less a loogey?
And that sus line from OP is probably not in the movie itself.
Purple Heart
No. It was indeed Cybertronian.
