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
YES TO ALL! Although it could still turn out to be garbage. Crossing my fingers and hoping it’ll be good.
That Countach Transformer you are thinking of is Sideswipe if red, or his twin brother Sunstreaker if yellow.
No, the girl rickrolled bumblebee. Question solved.
G1 style Starscream!?
Yeah … that was THE BEST small part of the movie … even the paint-job matches….
#hype1986
They only “wtf” with Starscrem is that in this trailer he is shown as F4 Phantom plane, but in G1 he was F15 Eagle figher jet …
Whatever man ! This is how they should look like in original first movie.
???
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
It takes place 20 years before the first film, so 1987
1987, Hummer was first put into service in ‘84
What’s with SJWs and movies?
First Ghostbusters, then BlackPanther, Ocean’s Eleven and now this.
Httyd3 got sjws and lgbt too as well
It sells whilst also making the studio look “progressive”. Cash money.
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?
ITTTTS JOHN CENA
DUN DUNNNA DAAAAA
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….
15 would be a better bet
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???
Perhaps to keep inline with Bumblebee’s “movie persona-“ after all, in just about all of the live action movies Bumblebee doesn’t speak.
But I suppose it would be very interesting if Bee talked, and then he lost his voice between this film and 2007 Transformers. That would provide a more thorough look at why Bumblebee is mute in the other films!
