Looks pretty good. Like the character designs a lot. Seems a bit overloaded with jokes, but that's what trailers are for I guess.
This is the kind of evolution of '80s Transformers that the Bay movies were not.

Did you all actively forget the slapstick and looney tunes level humor in Beast Wars? Waspinator literally gets flattened like a sheet of paper. There was an episode where the plot was resolved by Rhinox farting.
after taking my kids to see Mutant Mayhem i think i'm gonna skip this one. i don't really want to sit in a theater and watch this, and despite loving transformers as a kid i don't think i need another venue for my kids to want toys from
i'll take them to Sonic 3 instead (for some reason they love the first 2)

I'm more than ok with this. Though thankfully I won't be interested in the toy line that pops up.
if i was writing transformers i'd have OUR concept of cars n trucks come from an old encounter with a transformer. that'd blow everyone's mind 🤯
I don't think you get to make that choice in this argument. You can try your best to hide the trailer from the kids, but if they see it on TV and love it, you probably should go and take them to see it.
Going by these, I feel the movie will probably take a dark turn by the end unless it's part of a prologue.
Spider-verse and those other movies are full of humor what are you talking about? Especially Mutant Mayhem.
I see him for a split second at the end of the trailer with Soundwave. Maybe he is just some ragtag rebel group that convinces Megatron to betray Optimus.
Yeah but not this type of humour. This seems much lower brow.
Not for me, this 100 sassy jokes per minute style, not for me.
Won't criticize those who like this, just not for me.

sure but now that i think about it, they never really watch commercials. they only watch streaming stuff like disney+ or netflix kids
"well written humor" is probably what that poster meant
kiddies need good movies too. i watched mitchells vs. the machines with my kids on our last movie night and everyone loved it (especially my wife who cried like 3 times)
Hard to believe it's by the same ILM that did the Bumblebee prologue - goes to show how expensive the latter really was, and how an unpleasant, stripped-down art style (in my opinion) can flatten even that level of talent and expense.
That said, some of the snappiness is nice to see. I'm sure the animators had a lot of fun stretching their legs on it, at least.

It's not murder if they're robots.

Yes but didn't he some versions called himself Megatronus before shortening it down?
I also love the part where Megatron says: "if we survive this, I'm going to kill you."
The Bumblebee prologue only had fanservice going for it
Really? I'm 42, and it looks great to me - I get Cybertron, I get Quintessons, I get proper Bumblebee, and then Arcee, Orion Pax, and young Megatron! Also proper transformations! Alpha Trion!
Yeah, it's quippy. Fairy certain they made the trailer all quips on purpose though. You can't tell the story they're telling without some heavy emotional beats. Little worried about the optics of making Megatron Black, given the story is about emancipation, and the conflict between two factions of freed slaves that follows. Kind of feels like Optimus - the good guy - should be Black, then you're safe to cast anyone in the role of Megatron.
It doesn't look as exciting as the Netflix series, but it's a hell of a lot better than the Bayformers movies that shat up the franchise for the last twenty years. I'm excited to see it!
This is it for me two, though I have read some of the comics, played some of the games, and seen some of the cartoons so I'm not quite as new to the series, but new enough I don't really know much about the franchise beyond the surface.
I am absolutely not a Transformers fan (didn't grow up with it much) and haven't seen much I've liked of the franchise apart from some bits and pieces over the years, and to me.... this looks... fun?
I don't mind the art style/aesthetic but the actual quality of the CG work is at best, inoffensive. But that's really the only complaint I had with what I saw and I'm not ashamed to admit that I laughed several times throughout and am perfectly down to see how this does despite coming into the thread with less than 0 expectations.
Yeah it's quippy in a Guardians of the Galaxy-esque vain, but if it makes me laugh I don't really care. Bee turning and running, the wheels and the whole flailing trying to figure out transformations, the buddy cop-ness of OP and MT. It all works for me in the same way the Spiderverse and TMNT movies of late have hit. It could still be terrible but it's got me interested which for something Transformers related is quite hard to do.
Also I'm someone that likes Chris, but even I'm surprised at how well his voicework here turned out.
Is this supposed to be the grown-up version of the Transformers Rescue Bots that my son loves? Because that's what this art style is reminding me of.
Maybe I had my expectations too high but this looks really bad. Especially the voice acting.
At least the animation looks interesting.

I'm not exactly sure why people don't like this version. There was plenty of slapstick with Transformers growing up...
I think Beast Wars got grimdark and serious when they timetravelled into the new series. But otherwise, it was pretty goofy most of the time.

This is perfect for the cohort of kids who would be/are totally into Transformers and outgrowing the Rescue Bots level of media, but are still too young for the intensity of the Bay movies.

When they said there'd be "Minions style" humor, I didn't want to believe it. Other than that, Helmsworth does an Ok Cullen impression.
