This upcoming film seems to be doing just that. And as I said, now they can start to expand.
As such, I think it works better as a film than the prior ones even if it feels less like usual Transformers but again, film and TV series have different pros and cons, so I think Bumblebee was a better attempt at what works for a first film. The Bumblebee film felt like a redo to start off small but lay the groundwork for something bigger. And sometimes even screen time didn’t matter, Starscream was in three films yet wasn’t anything like Starscream or even really had a personality at all. I’d say Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, Jetfire, and to a lesser extent Ironhide, Ratchet, and the Autobots in 4 were the only ones who got a decent amount of screen time.
The Bayformers films started immediately with a bunch of Autobots and Decepticons, but unlike the various cartoons where they have tons of episodes to develop them, here there’s only so much runtime in comparison and so a lot of characters got underutilized. I think Bumblebee shows what works better to start off with a film. The G1 version looks nice too, but it would have been really hype if they had gone with the Prime version. Hopefully a sequel will rectify this.Īlso, small nitpick, but best Arcee is easily the Transformers Prime version. It still looks promising, but man there are some misfires in what they’re focusing on. Come on, we need (Predacon) Megatron (“YES!”), Waspinator, and Blackarachnia up in here!
And why is a film adapting Beast Wars including the Terrorcons, AFAIK save for one comic series reimagining they’re not connected to Beast Wars, and the antagonists should be all Predacons. This looks great, my issue is Beast Wars could have easily warranted its own film(s), and of all the Maximals to leave out, they leave out the two fan favorites, Dinobot and Rattrap, and keep everyone else? They could have cut out the Autobots except for Optimus and Bumblebee and kept the entire Maximal team. As someone who does enjoy 1, 3, and to a lesser extent 4 (2 and 5 have a few good elements but a lot of crap especially 5), nah, Bumblee was much better than all of them in my book.
