Bumblebee may have been an interesting experiment for the Transformers franchise, but the films are ready to bring the Autobots back to the spotlight with Rise of the Beasts. A new clip has just been released for the film, and it features the Autobots encountering the Maximals led by Optimus Primal.
Watch this:
Besides Primal, we also get a look at other Maximals Cheetor and Rhinox. On the Autobot side of things, the clip gives us Mirage, Wheeljack, Arcee, and of course, Optimus Prime. Oddly enough, Bumblebee is missing from the scene, but I’m hopeful that Paramount doesn’t decided to suddenly kill him off in this movie. I mean, why else give him his own solo film?
So far, it looks like the Transformers timeline has been rebooted with the Bumblebee movie, and we don’t have to worry about when Shia LaBeouf comes into all of this. While I am fine with the rebooted story, I am wondering when we’ll finally get to see the villain of the franchise come back, because it just feels odd to have Unicron with no Megatron in sight.
Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new faction of Transformers – the Maximals – to join them as allies in the existing battle for earth.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts comes to cinemas on June 9.
