Two New Transformers Movies To Be Produced Simultaneously: Bb2 And… Beast WarS

I can see the only real issue being the names. People not that familiar with the franchise might wonder why ‘Optimus’ and ‘Megatron’ are now animals. I suppose they could just refer to one as ‘Primal’, don’t know what they would do about the other unless they make sure they explain early on in the flick their names are in homage to their forbearers.

It’s gonna be 2007 again. If it’s not 100% the cartoon fans are going to be angry. “It’s set on modern day earth? They morph instead of transform? The leader of the bad guys isn’t called Megatron? They are ruining my childhood.”

Can't wait! Nothing like reading posts from 45 year old G1'ers bemoaning the fact that mumsie isn't wiping their bums & feeding them Coco Pops.

Anyone who's expecting this to be a rehash of the BW cartoon is in for a big disappointment. No doubt it will have Easter eggs, but expect it to mostly be its own story.

Wait.

You’re telling me that the movie’s Big Bad might NOT be a purple T-Rex that speaks in a highly sophisticated way? Then surely it’s going to be the brown and purple VTOL equipped rollerblading T-Rex???

And what about the hover boarding primate?

Do you even Beast Wars bro?

Well, let's just say I'm highly skeptical given how not-G1 the last ten years of Bayververse were. Not saying that's a bad thing either. I'm fine with them reimagining the characters and story, so long as it is a good story.
