Bumblebee: The Movie,[1] also variously labeled "Transformers 6", "The Bumblebee Movie" and "Transformers Universe: Bumblebee" in Hasbro's presentational material, will be the sixth movie in the live-action film series, and is currently expected to be released on December 21, 2018.[2] The concept for the film was developed during the writers room assembled in the lead up to Transformers: The Last Knight[3] and will be written by Christina Hodson[4] and directed by Travis Knight.[5] Unlike previous films, Transformers Universe: Bumblebee will focus on just one member of the Autobot team (Bumblebee, in case you hadn't guessed)[6] and takes place during 1987.[2] It will be produced for a lower budget, at around $70 million, less than half the budget of the first live-action film.[7]
