HOLY SHIT IS THAT G1 STARSCREAM?
And directed by the same guy who did Kubo And The Two Strings? I'm in.
Well this looks like a breath of fresh air. It seems this is going to be a smaller and more character-focused story, which was much needed after how big and convoluted the previous films were. A simple story about A Girl and Her Car, with some government stooges thrown in to complicate things. We also got a glimpse of Starscream, so I hope he actually gets some proper characterization here.
Also, who else expected the cassette tape at the end of the trailer to turn into one of Soundwave's mini-cassettes?
No joke if this was used to reboot the series I might actually watch these movies again. This is giving me some major Iron Giant vibes.

I was hoping that this would be entirely new from the Bayformers, but it's an prequel. But hey, prequels can be good, right? Just look at how tragic Rouge One was.
So anyways, how often do we see an Decepticon transforming into an red sports car? Because one of them is an red "modified" 1971 Plymouth GTX and Barricade is supposed to be in this movie (hopefully to explain why he hates the yellow menace) and the last time that I'd checked, he's an cop.

There seems to be a large voice of approval from this 2-minute teaser, but I'm really not feeling it.
Ending a franchise on a prequel already feels awkward, and while I'm up for a more nostalgic, less crappy Transformers film I'm not particularly hyped for a film about Bumblebee.
And if this is in the same continuity as the Bayformers then I guess we'll see how Starscream and the other cons got situated here, but why is Bumblebee here all alone?

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!...
So are they saying bumble was on earth for a really long time?
I mean, we know he was there first, but I never got the impression he was there for that much longer, and the others responded to his distress signal pretty damned quick (within a few days as you recall).
Also, there's no way any cons were on Earth for a long period of time without tearing shit up. They aren't much for subtlety.
One Strip! One Strip!Well Bumblebee being here longer would explain why he's a busted 70's Camaro (a rather inconspicuous choice of vehicle otherwise) in modern day.
Also if you go by Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon, Decepticons were here for a while.

And now, straight from the man you cannot see, we have a legit confirmation on when that trailer's coming:
In the meantime, roll out and sound out here!
