‘Bumblebee’ Trailer: Get A Load Of Cybertron, Classic Transformers Designs & More
After showing off a slew ofnew footage at San Diego Comic-Conthis past summer, a newBumblebeetrailer has arrived that showcases a lot of things that Transformers fans have been wanting to see on the big screen for years. Sure, there’s the standard explosive action and some of your favorite Autobots and Decepticons, but we’re seeing them with a whole new classic aesthetic, and there are even glimpses of their homeworld of Cybertron as we’ve never seen it before.
Watch the Bumblebee Trailer
As you can see Cyberton is at war, prompting Optimus Prime to send some kind of message updating him about what’s happening back on his home planet. Part of that war is Soundwave, opening his chest to let a wolf Transformer of some kind lunge out. And as you can see, both the hologram of Optimus Prime and the battling Soundwave are modeled after the first generation designs of the Transformers.
They aren’t the only Transformers on the scene though. We get to see more of several new Decepticons who are after Bumblebee. First, there’a the team of Shatter (voiced byAngela Bassett) and Dropkick (voiced byJustin Theroux). They take the form of muscle cars, but they are also Triple Changers that are able to transform into aerial vehicles as well. Shatter transforms into a Harrier jet while Dropkick turns into a helicopter. Plus, there’s another flying Decepticon called Blitzwing (voiced byDavid Sobolov).
Of course, there are humans on the scene too.Hailee Steinfeldplays Charlie, the teenage girl still finding her way in the world. She strikes a bond with Bumblebee as he’s in hiding on a strange planet. But thenJohn Cena’s character Agent Burns is in pursuit of Bumblebee. His pursuit comes with false assumptions though, and I’d be willing to bet he’s not a villain the whole way through.
Travis Knight(Kubo and the Two Strings) is directingBumblebeefrom a script byChristina Hodson(Unforgettable). Here’s the official synopsis:
