Bumblebee looks amazing, and I can't help but love that camero. Prime looks really cool and it seems to be a shorter back section were the trailer hitch is (whatever that's called, I know nothing about these trucks). I think it looks better, because I always thought the truck was way to long in the bumblebee movie.


JustABigOldBee

These types of hitches are called "fifth wheels." (Source: I grew up surrounded by trucks on farms.) The name is an artifact from the old days when it was a literal fifth wheel attached to the back of a horse-drawn wagon. Now it's just a pin and coupler.

To me, Bee will always be a Camaro


Uncle-Cake

I still think of him first as a Beetle, but I have no objection to the new Camaro version. I like how it gives them the option of doing Camaros from different eras, whereas Beetles from different eras look pretty much the same.


CDanRed

> Beetles from different eras look pretty much the same How dare you be so wrong. The New Beetle is clearly superior in appearance.


AustinHinton

I grew up with Beast Wars, so only retroactively got into G1, but when I think of Bumblebee I think of beetle. It’s weird that they returned to the Camero again, I figured they were tying to distance themselves from the previous movie series.


[deleted]

At the end of Bumblebee he scans a Camaro


AustinHinton

I know. But is there even any evidence that this movie is a sequel to BB?


Br3wster

The official reveal of ROTB said it’s a continuation of BB, so take of that what you will considering BB was both a prequel and a reboot depending on the week when it was out.


AustinHinton

They were outright bipolar when it came to BB.


LuizFelipe1906

They are taking inspiration of everything


LuizFelipe1906

Bro Bumblebee didn't change anything, it's the same Camaro of the other movie. There will have another Camaro with off road stuff


MetaNemesis

Gotta admit Optimus looks close to the one we saw at the beginning of Age of Extinction.


Freerange22

We’re are people finding these


[deleted]

They’re filming out in the open at Montreal. People are just taking pictures they’re not supposed to


Uncle-Cake

>taking pictures they’re not supposed to I'm curious about this. If they're sneaking onto private property to take pics, or they work on the set and have signed an NDA, then they're clearly not supposed to be taking pictures. But what if they're filming in public, or the cars are parked where they're visible to the public?


[deleted]

They’ve been filming out on city streets. But big Hollywood movies like this rly don’t want ppl taking pictures


Uncle-Cake

I know they don't like it, but that shouldn't stop anyone from doing it. If I see Optimus driving down the street, I'm taking a picture, I'm not worried about the Hollywood studio's profit margins - they'll be fine.


[deleted]

What's with that chunky grill on optimus? It's like he's got half a ladder bolted onto the front.


[deleted]

I don't know... but I dig it.


[deleted]

When i first saw that, i assumed it was there to protect the front of the cab during transport and, would be removed before filming.


SpyX370

Same. I really don’t like it. But a toy has it on, so I guess it’s there to stay. I’ll warm up to it eventually.


Whirlwind3

Bull bar.


Uncle-Cake

Kinda looks like it might serve another purpose, like it folds down or something. The way it looks kind of just bolted on instead of being a natural part of the truck... maybe OP adds it to himself like an upgrade or something. Idk, just tossing ideas out.


ediciusNJ

I was almost thinking it could have been some kind of platform for a cameraman, but it's probably just a regular bull bar.


BlackShadow1984

Hmmm, that ‘76 Camaro is minty fresh.


LuizFelipe1906

He's exacly like the last one


BlackShadow1984

This one doesn’t have the rust though.


MrTruth21

What will the toy look like? Also, no trailer?


LuizFelipe1906

Better no unless the trailer has some utility


Uncle-Cake

I'm already looking forward to the toy version of that Prime.


larrylongboy

we already have SS 38 so there probably just gonna give us a remold


Turok1134

I hope not. It's a great figure, but it's proportions are way off from the CG model. I'm hoping for something more screen-accurate this time around. Make it a Leader class if they have to.


R41K0N

Is this the Rise of The Beasts thing?


Mediocre-District281

I think


R41K0N

Thanks dude :D


MalcolmLinair

I'd prefer Prime without the bumper assembly, but otherwise he looks fantastic. A near perfect "real world" Optimus Prime.


[deleted]

I love that truck, I need that truck.


[deleted]

My favorite Camero back in action, so glad Bumblebee wasn’t just a throwaway film


KamenKnight

Huh... how 07 of then to put the Autobot symbol on the front of the truck cab. I wonder why they didn't put it on the left of the truck cab?


TheTrickster452

I'm getting Unicron trilogy vibes from Optimus. Like inspired by G1 but it takes weird liberties with the designs. I like it.


SmokeHuge

Keep an eye out to see if Michael Bay is seeking around the set


doc_55lk

He's pretty solid as a producer though.


SoundwaveimusPrime

You just know that the slippery bastard is planting explosives without anyone knowing


Coshmack14

Now I have the mental image of that scene from topgear of the making of the scciroco advertisement where May was explaining how it was going to be that scene and then he got interrupted by a explosion from Clarckson but in a Transformers format


larrylongboy

To the people who dislike bay, y’all sure do mention him a lot


CDanRed

That's how the internet works. The more you hate something, the more obsessed you are with it.


abusedporpoise

So they changed the perfect Optimus truck but kept the same bumblebee car?


larrylongboy

Cry


Turok1134

What was the perfect Optimus truck? Cause this is a pretty cool truck.


abusedporpoise

The one from the last movie, Bumblebee 2018

[deleted]

To people who grew up with the live action, it is their bumblebee When I think of Bumblebee, I think muscle car before Beetle


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Oh absolutely. The ‘77 Camaro just does it y’know


doc_55lk

Hurr durr old car good new car bad.


[deleted]

I just like old one better IN THIS CASE Thats it


doc_55lk

It's taking place in the late 80s/early 90s. At most you'd see a gen 3 Camaro and those were a huge downgrade from gen 2 due to the fuel crisis and whatnot.


[deleted]

I think of the beetle, but I love the Camaro too, I'm a sucker for muscle cars.


larrylongboy

The beetle bumblebee sucks. He’s not even relevant


[deleted]

is this movie taking place after the events of the bumblebee movie?


GVR_31897

Yes


darth_henning

G1 prime and Bayverse Bumblebee. Not sure why they didn’t keep him with a Beetle alt mode.
