And we're just getting started. Plus don't suggest having Studio Trigger to do an anime based on the franchise, its a lazy idea to be honest.1. Michael Bay returning for a new movie that retcons The Last Knight the previous two live action films and the score composed by Tom Holkenborg2. A remastered/re-release of Activision's Transformers games from 2007-20153. Animated Series based on the Energon Universe comic books from Image and Skybound4. A 2D deformed inspired Transformers game for younger fans that features Bobby Moynihan as Bumblebee, Dana Snyder as Starscream and both Peter Cullen and Frank Welker as Optimus and Megatron5. An feature film based on the BotBots sub-line directed by Akiva Schaffer and featuring the voices of Chris Pratt, Jordan Peele, Karen Fukuhara and Adam Sandler6. New AAA game in the works7. GI Joe crossover movie cancelled and in its place is a live action one directed by Josh Cooley8. Rework the cancelled Reactivate game into something akin to Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League but not live service9. Make sure no Artificial intelligence is used for the sake of Jimmy Kimmel10. ProfitThere you have it. And side note, fuck Travis Knight for being an anti-union prick.
Megatron's a wimp
>>152062262That would probably take 5 billion and ten years, unless you wanted to release it all at once.
>>152062262the only thing i see actually causing interest in the franchise here is a studio trigger anime, anything else would just be more fuel for existing fans rather than new ones, which wont save the franchise and will further stagnate it
>>152063939What Dana Snyder as Starscream?
>>152062262A cartoon/anime that faithfully adapts the Marvel comics, UK included
>>152063939Fuck that, a Trigger suggestion is overrated as fuckIts best the stuff in that list happen cause sometime crazy works>>152063964>YOU ARE THE GAYEST DECEPTICON SINCE GAY GAME TO GAY TOWN
>>152064300>>152063964>YOU QUESTION THE WORD OF THE MIGHTY PRIMUS?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>152062262>Tom HolkenborgWhy not just bring Jablonsky back?
>>152062262The fact that you DON'T want a trigger anime and want to come crawling back to Bay again and a bunch of other retreads makes me think you have no real clue what to do.Fuck that shit, Transformers needs to be cool again, visually, and an anime is the only way that's gonna happen in animation at that point. But there's some weird anti-anime stance in the fandom for whatever reason, partially fanned by tfwiki but was present even before.>>152064300The idea that a Trigger anime would be "lazy" or "overrated' reeks of braindead exec speak where you can't do something because of some perceived idea that it's too obvious or something.
>>152063939Reluctantly have to agree, TF needs to go anime, big time, not another retread of Bay gearslop that people stopped caring about 10 years ago. People have had enough of Bay. Hire Miekun to direct the new movie as an action comedy.
>>152064454True, but Junkie XL would be a great successor to himHis scores for Zack Snyder's Justice League, Alita, Deadpool and Sonic are the sauce for the music that Bumblebee and Rise lack in the music department.
>>152062262This sounds like a massive middle finger to Travis Knight alrightI'm fucking game
>>152065010The issue with TF anime is that the anime studios don't give a shit about Has ri and go full retarded.Shit like>>Refusing to introduce Seekers but having Starscream take on Thundercracker's color scheme when he gets powered up>>Have unique characters turn out to be new forms of existing characters, ruining the unique characters (see Snowcat)>>Go completely off script with Cybertron being stand alone even though Hasbro EXPLICITLY requested it be the finale to the Unicron story
>>152065927Fuck that's true
>>152062262A mixed bag. Let's take a look at each: 1. Any plan that involves bringing Bay back is stupid. His movies started out doing really well financially, but were worse and worse as he got more creative control, and they've done potentially irreparable harm to public perception of the brand. 2. I'd be for this. Not sure if the expense would pay off for Hasbro, but I'd personally like it. 3. An animated project based on the Energon Universe is supposedly already in the works. 4. Not gonna lie, Dana Snyder as Starscream is a fun idea. That said, a new game needs more of a concept than "2D deformed" and a voice cast. 5. Depends on how well the Botbot Netfilix series did. If it was successful enough to warrant it, then go for it. Otherwise, a movie based on an already dead toyline seems like an odd move. 6. Sure, as long as it's good, why not? 7. If he's got a good concept and handle of GI Joe, then I'm on board. He did well with TF: One. 8. Not sure that's even possible. We should probably just let Reactivate die. 9. Screw AI, but screw Jimmy Kimmel too. 10. Now we're talking!
>>152063167So is Starscream!
>>152065927All are valid complaints, but not entirely the anime studio's fault. The first two were partially due to the demands to fit new repaints and toys into the show, and the third was 100% a dictate by Hasbro, not the anime studio, which is why Cybertron's connection to Armada and Energon was slapped on so thinly.
>>152065517the bay retread is the last hoorah if that makes any sense, regardless on the movies quality it solely exists for nostalgia pandering and nothing more. Thats what theyre banking it on. Theyll use trilogy designs and bring back as many actors as possible.Going full anime would probably help, anything that would reinvent the franchise in any capacity would.
>>152065927And it's been 20 fucking years since Galaxy Force, we've had decades of American/Western series and they aren't that great either. Hasbro being unable to manage the anime production is more about their poor management than an indictment on the anime studios. And besides, people talk about Trigger /because/ they have history of appreciating the franchise.It's been years , just because a few anime in the 2000's were mishandled doesn't mean they shouldn't ever try again. It beats whatever cheap CGI studios they've been using(some of which are admittedly Japanese)
>>152064300>Fuck that, a Trigger suggestion is overrated as fuckive seen studio trigger's bayverse fanart, all im saying is under the right art direction you would probably have the coolest transformers designs ever.
>>152066173The only reason the Bay movies did well was the spectacle, no one cares about the actual characters. At least not normies. No one can name a single Decepticon that isn't Megatron or Starscream unless you're a fan.
>>152067228>name a single decepticon that isn't That's easy tho, Nitro Zeus, Mohawk, Dreadbot, Berzerker
>>152067281>introduce a team of cool decepticons>all of them die in like two minutes What the FUCK was Bay thinking? Seriously, those bota deserve their own show. Also, why none of the cartoons or comics used Quintessa? She could be a cool ultimate enemy.
>>152067281>Nitro Zeus, Mohawk, Dreadbot, BerzerkerThese were all retarded off-brand disposable redshirts who lasted all of 30 seconds on-screen before they were blown away. None of them had any personality beyond being "crazy evil robutts" and none of them are worth mentioning ever again, in any medium. That tells you all you need to know about Transformer design in the Bayverse. Here, let me make some more:>COCKPISTON - he's CRAZY and EVIL!>OILHOMBRE - he's CRAZY and EVIL but also like a HISPANIC gang member!!>GRILLEHARNESS - he loves to BBQ and he's into BONDAGE HAHAHA gettit?!? Just fucking execute me before forcing me to watch another Boyverse POS.
>>152067281that's because you're a fan anon, not a single normie remembered any of them and TLK failed at the box office to further emphasize that.The only way Bay can save the franchise is to make it more memorable and notable to normies and make them casual fans..and he never pulled that off. Once a bigger fish came along(the MCU), normies forgot about the Transformers movies.
