Bumblebee
The first preview forBumblebee , the upcoming Transformers spinoff manoeuvre by Travis Knight , has answer several cardinal doubt about the movie . It give a sense of the film ’s musical note and style , an thought of some of the conflict that will be explored by the plot of land , and a warm sense of just where this fits in the Transformers timeline .
Transformers : The Last Knightrevealed that Bumblebee had been active on Earth for a stack recollective than we first thought . He ’d visit the planetduring the Second World War , at a time when he was far more militaristic and , honestly , insubordinate . This early Bumblebee had trivial leeway for mankind . Bee became attached to a military unit who played a key role during the War , and " squeamish " was n’t one of the words used to trace him back then .

This was obvious setup for theBumblebeespinoff . Somewhere between the events ofThe Last Knightand the first Transformers celluloid , Bumblebee would refund to Earth , and his experience there would change his view of humanity forever .
A Character-Driven Plot
The Transformers films have typically been action movies , but this first trailer focus in on characters . It seems that , in 1985 , Bumblebee is discovered byHailee Steinfeld ’s Charlie Watson . She becomes Bumblebee ’s driver , and the two form a unaired adhesion . A part - over tension that there ’s an almost spiritual side to their kinship ; " It ’s a mystical bond between man and machine , " viewers are told . Some of the scene even verge on being quixotic !
Just as in the first Transformers motion-picture show , this version of Bumblebee is ineffective to address ; it ’s Charlie who comes up with the idea of communicating through music . She give him a tape , which - in a hilarious mo - Bumblebee rejects unceremoniously . The film will presumably apply a classic soundtrack to create a catamenia way .
Tying Bumblee Into Transformers Continuity
The trailer is actually quite light on both action and plot of ground , head off divulge too much . It ’s important to remember that , in the 1980s , the Decepticons would be scouring the beetleweed in hunting of Megatron and the All - Spark . The trailer grant a glimpse of the G1 Starscream design , suggesting a handful of Decepticons have come up to Earth , so it ’s potential Bumblebee is here to monitor them .
The prevue also stresses the front of Sector 7 , the secret agency founded by President Hoover to supervise alien interest on Earth . They in reality have both Megatron and the All - Spark , and Transformer technology has been reverse - engineered over the course of action of the 20th century to produce human political machine . Bumblebeewill involve to tread very cautiously here ; if the Decepticons understand that human technology is derived from Transformer skill , they ’ll guess that Megatron , at least , is on Earth . But they should n’t really do that until the firstTransformersmovie , pose decades after this .
Optimus Primeis enclose to come out inBumblebee , but it ’s probable he ’ll just have a cameo . This is just a one - robot show , with a single heroic Autobot striving to protect manhood from the Decepticon threat .
