New footage from Bumblebeerevealed at Comic - Con today showed us more about why the Transformer is on Earth , what he ’s doing in the eighties , who he ’ll be campaign in his solo spin - off movie , and pot , lots more . Unfortunately , it appears the video is solely for Comic - Con attendee , but we can evidence you everything we saw .
Director Travis Knight arrive in Hall H armed with mavin Hailee Steinfeld , Jorge Lendeborg Jr. , John Cena , and a lot of new footage that 100 percent makes it feel like Knight has conduct the good part of Michael Bay ’s transformer movies — the action — but also addedsome lots of classic , ‘ 80s - style middle . This is a skilful thing indeed .
Bumblebee is plant about 20 years before any of the events of the Bay cinema . And while this one is almost wholly a solo picture about Bumblebee , Knight confirmed at the venire that we will travel to Cybertron in the film and there will be heap of nods and winks to dealership favourite throughout . One such example ? The instrument panel started with a bouncy performance of “ You ’ve Got The Touch ” by Stan Busch , an iconic Sung from the original 1986 Transformers : The Movie .
The footage also revealed that ahead of time on in the film , Bumblebee has get away from Cybertron to Earth . He ’s being hunted by homo and then a Deception Jet fly down and bollocks everything up . But it ’s not Starscream ; Knight was sad to disappoint rooter but revealed the character is actually Blitzwing , who just so find to turn into a jet and have a similar design as a G1 seeker , like Starscream .
Blitzwing and Bumblebee have a knockdown , puff - out fight on the side of a mountain — that Bumblebee lose . Blitzwing grabs him by the cervix , says he ’s doom to death , and drops him off the mountain . Once he hts the ground , Bee is close-fitting to expiry but , just as he close down , he catches a coup d’oeil of a lily-livered beetle , and that ’s where Charlie ( Steinfeld ) come in . She sire the railcar for her birthday and things move on from there .
But perhaps the coolheaded reveal is a likely cameo : The basic premise of the photographic film is that Bumblebee scarper from Cybertron for something and now he ’s being hunted by Decepticons Shatter and Dropkick , voiced by Angela Basset and Justin Theroux ( who , by the way , are ternary -changers — robots , muscle cars , as well as a Harrier spurt and helicopter , respectively ) . They team up with humans , leave by John Cena , to find the fugitive and subsequently in the story , Charlie asks Bee if he has friends who can avail him and he puts up a hologram … of G1 Optimus Prime . And would n’t you know it ? Peter Cullen himself , the vocalisation of Prime , closed the control panel by asking , “ What does it take to get my own movie ? ”
What does Prime have to do with the motion picture ? Will we see him ? “ All will be revealed in the flick , ” he said .
Bumblebee open December 21 .
