I see time travel will be involved too.

This is what happens when when I'm texting on my PSP.
Well, the last one was the start of a new trilogy. Not really surprised that they'd do another one.

I might as well pour gasoline on the fire...
And no, I'm not buying the video game.
If anyone needs me, I'm too busy reading an "romantic comedy" manga.

Wow, that was poorly put together. I think they put some Battleship in there along with the four Transformers films and GI Joe 2
Rise of Unicorn? Rise of Unicorn?
Did I read that right?
Yes you did. I didn't even notice at first.
The Master of Tediousness
Cue My Little Pony jokes.
With a '0', not an 'O'
The last movie already beat us to the My Little Pony jokes.
With a grand total of One.
I actually hope there is a vaguely horse horned type character. Remember when a Transformers spinoff didn't need to include that spotlight stealing planet eater? Unicron used to be terrifying, now he's tired and Galvatron even more so. We got a Fallen that doesn't burn that was completely unrelated, as well as a Cybertron that wasn't Primus. What's the point of having Unicron at this point?
Surely swarm, the cyber wraiths, the Vehicons, the vok, Death's head or even my little ponies would make for more interesting adversaries. Maybe take a page out of that other Transformers film and make a new toy villain?
What we need is the BEAST WARS!

You shut up. I don't want them fucking up Beast Wars too!

It wouldn't be any worse than Beast Machines.
Beast Wars also had Unicron though (sort of, and before it was trendy). Adapting Beast Wars in today's market would inevitably mean more Unicron wouldn't it?
Unicron only showed up as a representation the Vox used to communicate with Optimus Prime. Beast Wars was entirely Unicron free.
Transformers Cinematic Universe?
Marvel, you have a lot to answer for...
I know. That's what "sort of" and "before it was trendy" were in reference to. I just don't expect anyone to reference and not use him anymore, given how consistently he's been used since then.
...what would really be the point of a live-action Beast Wars?
A CGI film in the vein of Tekken Blood Vengenace, sure. Hell, a video game.
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!
It's not their fault they've managed to develop such a well put together moneymaking scheme.
Blame the bad imitators, not the original developers.
I'd don't see the point of a live action Beast Wars because the original Beast Wars is still perfectly watchable. We know live actors couldn't do it justice anyway, so they're better off going off in their own direction.
I'm guessing live action Unicron would be in name only anyway. And I forgave Devastator, because you know, first movie and he was immediately made up for in the very next movie. I thought Soundwave was pretty cool. I can forgive the digger, because again awesome. I can even forgive Fallen because he clearly wasn't connected to Unicron and thus clearly wasn't supposed to be that old burning sorcerer but Unicron's been watered down enough already without an in name only representation.
The movies, if nothing else, have been pretty good about doing their own thing. Something Hollywood movies in general have been pretty bad at. X-men just had to try and adapt the Dark Phoenix saga, Fantastic Four just had to do try its hand at The Coming Of Galactus.

Beast Machine's biggest flaw is as a follow up to Beast Wars (Everyone acting different from who they are). On its own, as a standalone series, Beast Machine is fine. Heck, it probably has the most mature message I've ever seen in a cartoon about nature and conservation, purposefully eschewing as "Lets all go granola hippie" approach and advocating a more balanced approach. For all its flaw, Beast Machine was a show that didn't talk down to its audience or take them for idiots the way Bayformers have.
The main problem with a live action beast wars is... why live action? Beast Wars has no human character. What would the actors do? There is no point to it being live action.

Time for a 5-month necroing of this thread!
And before anyone rages about anything, Michael Bay has gone straight to Twitter to say that, once again, he hasn't officially signed up as director and is now discussing it with Steven Spielberg
.
So maybe if we whine about it enough to the right people, we could convince them to not get Bay again. Maybe.

According to Wikipedia,
IGN, and a few other sites; this is currently slated for release on June 18, 2016. Note that Michael Bay is now producing the movie instead of directing it.
As for the concept: Let's recap here. Most of the main Decepticons are dead and all we have at the moment is Galvatron, who is still at large; and Unicron the planet-eater. And Optimus is flying through deep space to confront the creator(s) of his race.
