[@zphyr6780]

My theory for Reek is that he’ll likely be Noah’s childhood friend or something and since they’re both anti authoritarian characters Reek probably persuades Noah into stealing the Porsche. His reaction in the trailer is him being excited after seeing Noah taking it for a joyride not knowing that it’s actually a transformer.

[@adnan_honest_jihadist5775]

anti-authoriatarian? not good

[@Adamant137]

It's about time we get into hypemode for Transformers!!!!

[@green-legacy]

maybe optimus kills transit and then we see scourge saying “unicron transit is dead meaning there are beings there strong enough to challenge”

[@Ferril21]

I belive that Mirage took Noah because they need human to steal the crystal from museum. This is also where he will meet Elena.

[@scp049-heckerman6]

Did you notice ariazor's back when she attacked the terracons at the museum? It seems like it is a different one the transformer at museum has spikes on her back but airazor don't have any spikes on her back. Edit:and aslo notice the wings of her . They are different from each shot

[@sllverhand]

Im curious if they added Predacons as a Suprise, it could be terrorsaur trying to get back at scourge for Unicron destroying his "home planet" and he ends up dying there too, which allows optimus and bee to escape. which is how scourge gets the predacon badge on his grill

Ima gonna say it, Transit only had three versions. RID (2015), Idw, and his rotb version. Which is not a bad thing, I'm glad he's getting his first live action debute

[@BenedictF79B]

Fun fact : in scourge scene where he meets up with unicron, you can see his back has similiarity to AOE/TLK prime, making that theory of him as a reshaped prime from alternate timeline stronger, though the most logical explanation is just model CGI reused, but still its an interesting theory to talk about

[@NobleRaider2747]

Mpc ain't got access to ILM's assets tho, it definitely has to be intentional

[@Seek_35]

This theory is so braindead, I hate it

[@amyawolford]

I don’t think scourge is another prime, because when you think about it, he’s stronger than prime, his alt mode is a truck, and he resembles prime could just mean that Unicron saw prime and made a stronger version of him to take him out, anyway that’s just my theory bc I think it would be C R I N G E to tie together the bayverse and this universe, on second thought nevermind, bc it would be awesome to see what happened to the bayverse universe after the last knight, I still don’t think they would do that though, bc in theorymus’ video about the OG bumblebee movie, he said the bayverse got discontinued bc everyone hated TLK (I still don’t know why, I liked TLK) and caused them to lose SO much money that they had to stop making bayverse movies

[@TheBeeMan217]

[@Roadkill-Films]

I love how the new safehouse is Terminal Island. (If you have seen Death Race, you'll get it)

[@billzden]

Here me out... What if Reek is Memo from the Bumblebee movie, now I know that they aren't the same actor and don't share the same name, but Memo probably wasn't his real name, it was probably a nickname, which means that Reek could just be another nickname for him which also explains why Reek is freaking out at the sight of Mirage and also explains him being a main character

[@sumantanantha1294]

@Theorymus, looks like I was right about the museum scene, It seems Optimus went alone to fight the terrorcons but lost. That makes sense on why he is pinned. So it is most likely he was fighting all the terrorcons at once

[@sethhart478]

What I want to see from this new continuity is that in bumblebee, the decepticons do not currently know where the autobots are hiding and the terrocons are searching for the maximals. So after rotb I want the see the decepticons uncover the autobots thanks to the attack by scourge and unicron and then the next few movies dealing with the decepticons again. Therefore we get this movie which has no decepticon villains at all and the next movie will deal with the original good vs evil robots.

[@green-legacy]

imagine if scourge us like “everyone i have ever. hunted has died” and he takes optimus autobot symbol BEFORE he kills him but them bumblebee jumps in to try help optimus but gets stabbed

Other than the “Bayverse Optimus-Scourge” theory one important thing to note is the apparent lack of government intervention in the movie so far, Bumblebee set up Sector 7 and even though it’s been 10 years their still probably pretty pissed at all Cybertronians, it’d be interesting to see if they have any influence in the movie

[@christianparrish3292]

I hope that'll be the case

[@transformersaltmodes8575]

Great breakdown, but one note: Transit's render actually has him with kibble from a Rapid Transit Series bus, rather than a Classic. However, I'm fairly certain that he will still turn into a Classic bus as seen in my set photo, as I only ever saw those when I visited the location where they filmed Transit's scene.

[@predatron4197]

The reason Prime's face looks off in the jungle from Ven Laszlo's interview with artists from both MPC and WetaFX. "This third artist said they are "behind ILM by 12yrs in quality for this film" and said to expect more scenes that feel off. It's not their fault. They said they worked their asses off." "For example the scenes that look off in the trailer originally meant to be fully CGI. The jungle and whatnot. But later on they decided on a cheaper method, which is just to film it and get minimal scans of the environment." "The artist did say they made the jungle in full CGI in pre-production for one shot, then, to save money they went to film there instead, but the scans, HDRIs are not the best. That's why Prime looks off. They don't have the proper reflections. It's about the lighting." Some more things from Ven to point out. -By now confirming that WetaFX did the final battle sequence, makes it more understandable why it looks like an Endgame scene. They did Engame as well. - WetaFX was brought in later in production when MPC couldn't keep up with the CGI pipeline. - The MPC Artist apologized for how Mirage turned out. He hates it, but he had less creative control than he used to. - WetaFX did the final battle sequence we see in the trailer and far as I understood, they made Unicron as well. - The "wonky" looking scenes were done by MPC. - What we see is what we'll get. Not much will be changed. Just some finishing touches.

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

I kept my expectations low for this trailer because of how disappointing the advertising up to that point. I was expecting 90% recycled footage from the first trailer. Because of that Unicron caught me completely off guard

[@Icefrost32]

When Prime says,'' this is not our war,'' to bee,' then they have the fight terrorcons, then the fight bee gets stabbed, and then airazor comes in

[@wind_reader]

That shot of Battletrap hooking onto Nightbird to fire at the bots is the type of balls-to-the-wall spectacle for which I loved these movies! It reminded me of the shot in TF '07 where Mikaela straps Bumblebee to the tow truck and he starts shooting. Also, I agree that the the Optimus line about it not being their war probably refers to the Maximals/Terracons conflict, and it would be consistent with Optimus's struggle between defending Earth and wanting to return to Cybertron.

[@NerdzClubs_Official]

You and Edformers are my favouriye theorists! (Also great video i hope the CGI gets fixed soon.)

[@mrmaniac1334]

Personally in the museum scene I don’t believe it’s a razor that is breathing fire. I believe that it’s something else because if you look on the back of the thing that is breathing, the fire, there’s clearly spikes and in other shots of the trailer that show a razor flying you can’t see those spikes but I could be wrong and it could just be that when she breathes fire the spikes pop-up

[@amyawolford]

That would be cool, another thing that would be cool is that when she breaths fire, if her neck would glow and you could see the fire coming out from her neck, like tfp Preadaking

I seriously do believe that since the movie has to do with time travel, Scourge is going to be Bayformers Optimus. Mostly due to the fact that Scourge strongly resembles him in the upper head, mouth, and middle face areas. We also know that Bayformers Optimus had grown to hate humans by AoE, and was susceptible to mind control in TLK. Hell, by the first half of RoF, he was already a villian with the way he destroyed Grindor
