Talk:Bumblebee (film)

Lawsuit?

So Hasbro just filed a Lawsuit with DC Comics for the Bumblebee Name. [1] Energizer (talk) 04:45, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

Ah no wait, it's over. DC & Hasbro are cool. [2] Energizer (talk) 19:22, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

To Scream or not to Scream

Should Starscream be in the cast list here, when we've not actually had any official announcement/confirmation that the character in the trailer is him? --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 12:58, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

Nope. --Dark T Zeratul (talk) 01:11, 9 June 2018 (EDT)

Aw, come on! Its quite obviously supposed to be starscream, the head design is a slightly more g1-ifies version of michael bay starscream. The colors of the jet (what can be seen of it) are starscream colors, red air intakes, white nose area, and even a orange cockpit. It is highly unlikely this starscream homage isnt him, its clearly a more g1-ified version of michael bay starscream. YourBestPal (talk) 13:13, 9 June 2018 (EDT)

It's not uncommon for movie characters to not be who you think they are. Until Starscream is officially confirmed, we gotta play it safe. Ikkad (talk) 14:14, 9 June 2018 (EDT)

Only one decepticon has been confirmed for the movie. Starscream has not been confirmed yet. Puppetroblox (talk) 19:34, 9 June 2018 (EDT)

Get rekt, it’s confirmed as screamer now! YourBestPal (talk) 08:24, 21 June 2018 (EDT)

The rudeness is hardly necessary. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 08:51, 21 June 2018 (EDT)

Sorry, I meant it in a friendlier manner. YourBestPal (talk) 13:53, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

The reason they had to make an official announcement was because you people kept speculating that it wasn't Starscream when it blattantly was. It's a soft reboot. He doesn't have to turn into a Dorito F-22 to be the same character. This has been common knowledge for months.King Kid (talk) 12:03, 28 June 2018 (EDT)

Well I for one have always enjoyed crow when topped with a little (Whataburger) ketchup. - TBR (talk) 21:55, 21 July 2018 (EDT)

This just in: That Scream is now Blitzwing. FigureGunplaFan (talk) 07:48, 15 August 2018 (EDT)

...that just in literally a month ago hence my last comment above. - TBR (talk) 20:33, 15 August 2018 (EDT)

/* Timeline and Continuity */

This movie is a reboot because if not they should find the way to explain how Bumblebee fought in the WW2, because this movie is supposedly to be the first time Bumblebee came to Earth--Crosshairs (talk) 22:42, 9 June 2018 (EDT)

Stop. --M Sipher (talk) 23:29, 9 June 2018 (EDT)

toyline?

Is there a toyline? I know the movie has a while to release, but we knew about titans return about a year before release. Why do t we know about this toyline? YourBestPal (talk) 13:39, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

There might be. I have seen pictures showing a prototype of a volkswagen beetle Bumblebee ( redeco from TLK new bumblebee ) Puppetroblox (talk) 20:29, 10 June 2018 (EDT

The toyline will be absorbed into Studio Series. --notirishman (talk) 20:49, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

Is this really a reboot?

I have heard that the reboot is cancelled, but the past events in the movies just don't match up. Bumblebee went to earth with Hot Rod and fought in world war 2 (ww2) there. Instead the movie shows bumblebee's first time on earth. So is this a start to the reboot or just a confusing event in the Bayformers Movies? Puppetroblox (talk) 20:39, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

Dude, it really doesn't matter right now, the movie isn't out yet. --notirishman (talk) 20:49, 10 June 2018 (EDT)

bumblebee design

Is it me, or does bumblebee kinda look like the cancelled alternators g1 bumblebee? If anyone else picks up on this, should we put it in the (currently nonexistent) trivia area that his design is possibly an homage to said toy? YourBestPal (talk) 13:55, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

female Decepticon

A youtuber, AndySupreme99, claims that he saw the trailer at Cinemacon. He says that there is a female Decepticon. Have any of you seen the trailer he mentioned?

We obviously know now that this was referring to Shatter, but for the record, we need a better source than "This YouTuber says..." next time. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 01:19, 22 July 2018 (EDT)

new characters confirmed

The director has confirmed that Cliffjumper, Soundwave and Shockwave will be on Cybertron. Puppetroblox (talk) 06:53, 15 August 2018 (EDT)

Source? FigureGunplaFan (talk) 07:47, 15 August 2018 (EDT)

When I googled, I found a bunch of excited fan videos pointing back to a wordpress blog which mentioned Travis Knight in terms of his appearance at San Diego Comic Con, and then launched into a bunch of other details that were not obviously sourced to anything Knight said. I don't think we should be inclined to add them based on that. --abates (talk) 21:33, 15 August 2018 (EDT)

Can we not add pages for background randos who may or may not be characters?

Have people already forgotten when everyone though Blitzwing was actually Starscream? We shouldn't be saying Acid Storm is in the film, when there's the possibility that the green dude might well turn out to be a completely new character. --abates (talk) 22:38, 24 September 2018 (EDT)

Sorry, I should've probably just waited or not do it at all instead of telling people to delete if they didn't like it. But I didn't think it would be taken to this extent where pages were being made. Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. --notirishman (talk) 23:09, 24 September 2018 (EDT)

The first rule of wikis is that if there is a red link, *somebody* is gonna fill it. - TBR (talk) 01:29, 25 September 2018 (EDT)

Empire article and Starscream

This fits better here than on Bltizwing's article's talk page, where I'd posted it first:

We're swiftly disabused of that notion thanks to a barrage of familiar faces including Decepticon premiereship players Shockwave, Starscream and Blitzwing, all in their original, first generation forms.

This is obviously an incorrect take on the trailer, as Blitzwing is assuredly not there in his "original, first generation form." We therefore can't take the article's identification of Starscream as definitive, especially given that this isn't the first time we've seen a Starscream-looking dude in a trailer, and he turned out named something else. Note that Starscream is not mentioned in any of the article's direct quotes of Travis Knight. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 16:59, 25 September 2018 (EDT)

I understand what you mean, but in the background of the Shockwave shot, we see a bot that looks different than Blitzwing, and has more similarities to Starscream. We can especially tell because the international trailer shows us Blitzwing's body. If this ends being Blitzwing too (for some reason) than sure. --notirishman (talk) 17:30, 25 September 2018 (EDT)

We cannot positively ID that guy as Starscream at this point, certainly not based on a sentence that contains at least one clear error. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 17:37, 25 September 2018 (EDT)

Blitzwing being in his Generation One style form can just be the error, and that's it. And besides, if Starscream wasnt in the actual movie, wouldn't you think they would've scrubbed his name by now? --notirishman (talk) 17:49, 25 September 2018 (EDT)

A version of G1 Blitzwing does not appear in the trailer, and that mistaken impression by the author has not been corrected. That mistake renders the sentence unreliable. The author thinks that one Seeker on Cybertron is Starscream, and maybe it is, but we've been down the "this Seeker-looking dude is clearly Starscream" road once already, and we know how that turned out. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 17:58, 25 September 2018 (EDT)

One incorrect part of a sentence doesn't cancel out the whole sentence. It is true that Shockwave and other characters appear in their G1 style bodies. Let's get at a compromise. If the movie comes out and that Seeker in the background isn't Starscream, then, we remove it. But for now we keep it so we can remember. Deal? --notirishman (talk) 18:30, 25 September 2018 (EDT)

No. What? No. When the movie comes out this'll all be moot. We're talking about what our articles are presenting to readers right now as confirmed facts about an upcoming release. And actually, yes, that one error does make the whole sentence unreliable, as it auggests that it's just the author's impression of the trailer and not info from an actual production source. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 19:13, 25 September 2018 (EDT)
