Via domdukehazard on Reddit, we’ve got our first look at the upcoming Transformers Legacy “Animated Universe” Bumblebee!

Based on the Bumblebee who featured in the beloved 2008 Cartoon Network series Transformers Animated, Legacy Animated Bumblebee features his arm-mounted stingers and has a design that draws on the original design, although with a couple of tweaks to fit modern aesthetics – such as changing the feet from the original “car hood boots”. Your mileage may vary on how successful this update may be, or whether it now looks too close to the generic “Evergreen” design featured in Transformers Cyberverse.

Sound off with your thoughts on the 2005 boards!

AI in Entertainment: The Performers’ Perspective

AI and machine learning are revolutionizing the world. Entertainment performers must adapt to this groundbreaking technology that can not only replicate their voices and movements but also feed machine learning to create entirely new characters. With the support of the National Association of Voice Actors (NAVA) and SAG/AFTRA, this will be a discussion on how existing legal structures can be used in some areas and how new standards need to be built for performers and producers to collaborate on great products while still protecting individual rights to performance and publicity. Moderated by Linsay Rousseau (Transformers: War for Cybertron, God of War Ragnarok), panelists include Ashly Burch (Mythic Quest, Horizon Zero Dawn), Cissy Jones (The Owl House, Transformers Earthrise), Zeke Alton (The Calisto Protocol, SAG/AFTRA board member), Tim Friedlander (Record of Ragnarok, president/founder of NAVA) and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland (National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator for SAG/AFTRA).

Stay tuned for more Transformers-related NYCC updates and in the meantime, sound off on the 2005 boards!

Another great piece of Transformers history is now available online for all old-time fans. The Sunbow Marvel Archive website have uploaded new early The Transformers: The Movie storyboards.

Covering the initial third of the film before jumping to Unicron’s transformation. Working from a slightly earlier version of the script, they include more brutal deaths for the shuttle crew, as well as the confirmed death of Mirage (layout simplification on the final version makes it ambiguous).

You can find this new material via the Sunbow Marvel Archive website, along with the finalized versions. We also have an an animatic video after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and be sure to share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
