The First Full Trailer For The Bumblebee Movie Is Here
For anyone over the age of 12, it’s surely quite hard to enjoy any of the Transformers films. Each is essentially a series of explosions interspersed with shoddy dialogue, finished with a hint of misogyny. You can have Anthony Hopkins saying psuedo clever things in as many scenes as you want, Michael Bay, but that won’t stop them being dumb.
But, there’s a new Transformers film coming, and it looks a very different affair to the five smashy efforts we’ve seen so far. Detailed in this new trailer, it’s a spin-off focusing on Bumblebee (simply called Bumblebee), taking place 20 years before the first film. So, he’s still wearing his classic VW Beetle clothing.
The mute Transformer is taking shelter in a Californian junk yard, where he’s discovered and befriended by a teenage girl played by Hailee Steinfeld. As you’d expect, some secretive government agency is on the hunt for Bumblebee, led by an Unexpected John Cena.
So far, so predictable, but this looks like it’s going to be a film with a little more heart than its predecessors. Sure, there are explosions, but with - for the most part - only one Transformer to follow, it won’t feel as though you’re being crushed under the full weight of Industrial Light and Magic. And here’s the kicker: it’s not directed by Bay. The 53-year-old CGI enthusiast serves as producer this time, with Travis Knight making his directorial debut on the film.
Bumblebee will be released in the USA on 21 December 2018, arriving in the UK on Boxing Day.

is transformers actually getting good?
is that Gen 1 bumblebee!?
will there be that Lamboghini countach transformer ?
WAS I JUST RICK ROLLED BY A TRANSFORMER TRAILER
SO MANY QUESTIONS
G1 style Starscream!?
as theres a continuity error in the trailer
the film, i guess takes place in 1970s or early 1980s, but theres multiple shots of Humvees, which only came out around the late 1980s to 1990s
weird how such an obvious error exists OR the move could take place over multiple generations, and could end with a young Shia LeBeouf buying the Camaro Bee from the junkyard, like from tranformers 1
What’s with SJWs and movies?
First Ghostbusters, then BlackPanther, Ocean’s Eleven and now this.
I don’t get this part: “As you’d expect, some secretive government agency is on the hunt for Bumblebee, led by an Unexpected.” Unexpected who? Unexpected what? Is there something I’m not seeing here?
Micheal Bay where are you?
Since I was young I have been OBSESSED with Transformers. I have boxes of toys, comic books, videogames and they are what got me into cars.
I grew up with these movies that I absolutly love, but the last 2 where just a bit lack luster. I am getting a feeling this new movie will be a push in the right direction if they decide to relaunce the series.
I’m hopeing they do that.
Anyone over 12? This is CarThrottle half the kids here are under twelve….
Thank god its not directed by Michael Bay, the movies directed by him were awful and they ruined a bunch of iconic characters
Hey, aren’t the front fenders supposed to be his feet, and the top of the roof his chest? Oh well, I guess the new look is ok. Super stoked about having Bumblebee as a Beetle again, but why does he still have to be mute???
