With it just focusing on Autobots waging a battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons in modern day since Megatron has yet to take the stage in these movies.

The Bayverse will forever be a part of my childhood but after TLK I think it's time to move on to a new direction that isn't a complete mess. I know there will be hardcore Bayverse fans that will scream their head off about the cliffhanger.
But some of us want a Transformers movie that is fresh and something everyone can like not just mindless high octane action, weird humor, large human screen time and very little character development from the TF.
Some of us would like stories that mean something, characters that we care about besides their looks.
I understand the Bayverse is what made transformers more popular than it was at it's time but some of us need a breather from all the bayhem.
I believe the reason why AOE and TLK were bad was because MB was tired if making the films but Hasbro wanted more and MB wanted to make it clear in a subtly way.
I hope this movie will be good for new and old fans to enjoy.

Megatron really should have been in Bumblebee, but because he was frozen in the Arctic, he couldn't make an appearance.

As someone who grew up with the Bayverse, I was pretty mixed when a couple years back they said that Bumblebee was a reboot, but I kinda pretended like it wasn’t for a while 😅
After this movie, while I very much enjoyed it more than I was expecting, I’m still kinda overall mixed on the direction. Like for one, I’m happy that we’re getting more live action TF movies, two I’m happy that overall they’re being liked, and 3 Peter Cullen is still the goat.
But the designs in the Bayverse are way more interesting and better in my opinion and that goes for the transformations themselves and even the sound design. The action in ROTB was amazing so thankfully no complaints there, but as someone who didn’t exist in the 80s or 90s I got no nostalgia for those times and I feel that both of those decades (especially 80s) has been done to death in the media, and just an fyi, I have seen a good amount of the original G1 cartoon so it’s not like I’m uncultured or anything 😉

@TF Miniseries do u live in a cave??? This movie is a complete reboot, just look at characters like wheeljack and mirage they are completely different from the bay films. In the last knight it's stated that the auto bots have been around since World War 1 and in bumblebee it shows they only arrived recently on earth. So it clearly is a reboot, for a lad that calls himself tf miniseries, u don't no a lot about tf😂😂😂😂

You can't just say It's connected to the bayverse and expect people to think it is. I'm losing hope for TF movies.

[@bigdurks]

I don't care what he says about it being a prequel, sequel, or reboot as long as he doesn't try to do that G.I. Joe crossover thingy I've heard of.

[@fduranthesee]

I mean, GI-Joe, Star Wars and Marvel as well as MLP are all in the same universe/multiverse as Transformers, it's about-time everything gets connected.

[@bigdurks]

@@fduranthesee doesn't mean it's going to be good though. The G.I. Joe movies are so dead and irrelevant.

[@Watcherprime_]

After watching the movie, im excited to see this new direction they are taking the franchise. I have a soft spot for the bay film as I grew up on them, but I'm also ready to move forward with new stories.

[@illyph9963]

It really sucks too, cause Lorenzo is reason bumblebee couldn’t go as hard as it wanted too, and now we’re already in 90’s in new timeline, I bet if Lorenzo would have let Travis knight do what he really wanted with first movie, bee wouldn’t be camaro again, and we prob wud have already got optimus, more decepticons, more action, and most of all, a bad ass 80’s hair metal soundtrack to match, not that I don’t love bumblebee, I just think Knight wanted it to be so much more, like we all just want a live action 86’ 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[@jacobcramer2853]

I didn’t want an 80’s movie. 80’s is overdone

[@gabmoreno280]

I liked the Bayverse films which are for me my first introduction to Transformers as well extremely underrated ( that includes 4 & 5 which i like) Bumblebee is a great drama movie and it felt like a transformers movie but more so a drama film
Rise of the beasts is a fun movie but I for me I had a couple issues with it, not to say its terrible but it a interesting film and ending I hope it will do well but it definitely needed more time

[@andrewbare9473]

I think when he said it was a sequel, he was saying it was a sequel to bumblebee.

[@Titanus_shimo_mother_of_titans]

Yea actually I liked bay verse but ever since I watch a part of this movie wow I agree it’s over

[@unincognito3689]

The only complaint I have is the Wheeljack change. I wouldn't call myself a Wheeljack fan, but I like consistency. And the fact he goes from very G1 accurate in Bumblebee to what he looks (and sounds like) in the trailers is very odd to me. I don't understand the reason fo the change.

[@mubs2685]

I won’t lie to be honest I would’ve loved to see primus,unicron and metroplex designed by micheal bay

[@isacctavares1368]

The Bayverse saved transformers. It was struggling badly at the time. It revived the brand. He got Cullen back as Optimus, the CGI was amazing and of course the music. Its time for a goodbye. We should be grateful that Transformers still exists. It is a reboot and I wouldnt be to surprised if they somewhat remake Transformers 07. I really feel like thats their game plan. They remake it sort of. Like there will be the same beats and Megs probably being the final boss and end this reboot. Like where has he been? Frozen. Confirmed in a deleted bumblebee scene. So I wonder. 🤔

[@joshuaslosser6988]

I absolutely hate the way wheeljack looks and that mirage isn’t just jazz but best believe that I’ll be going to see the movie tomorrow in 3d 😂

[@MobiusTrigger7]

bayverse was over when bumblebee released. but thank god this was the final nail in the coffin

[@Legonathan100]

Lorenzo is doing the same thing with Snakeeyes saying it’s an origin story to the Rise of Cobra which doesn’t make sense.

[@alohatigers1199]

You can’t deny the aesthetics pleasing of the transformers in the bay movies.
You can have a random bystander on a street and ask which design is better and majority of them will choose the bay movie design.
People who pick the original design is most likely due to nostalgia. It’s not really an argument.
It’s very important if you want more people watching transformers.

[@jamesgrindle4757]

It’s a reboot and a good one. Transformers was epic when it first came out but lost the audience by throwing out complicated plots, over the top graphic violence and ridiculous explosive settings. Bumblebee was simple, wholesome family fun, and was continued by Rise of the Beasts. I loved it, my son loved it and my two daughters loved it. Nicely done.

[@xavierrewijaya6359]

I don't know how much creative control producers have for a movie, especially a cinematic universe, but if producers have equal if not more creative power over the director the question will still linger in the air if not make the continuity of the reboot and Bayverse utterly confusing. I don't know what Hasbro and Paramount position in this is but I hope they consider BB and ROTB in a separate continuity from the Bayverse for everyone sanity.

[@icefox9897]

I am a bay verse fan ever since I was 5 I grew up watching it but honestly I do agree it had to come to an end

[@frozarburst6350]

Like Cyberverse, Earthspark, or any new transformers content, I'm always open to new ideas while staying true to what we've learned from the past. But to be in denial of a series ending or just not performing well is where people get closer to feeling like Megatron.
The Bayverse to me was, from a writing perspective, not that good. But whenever I go back, I see the quality in their filmmaking. Specifically in the first three films. It's OK to start something new and different from all this. Take what you learned and make it better

[@willsweird]

The problem is that Lorenzo's the boss. Whether we like it or not, he's the one commissioning Scripts and greenlighting movies.
Fact that he's crazy and out-of-touch is irrelevant. I don't know if you realized this, but we just witnessed the origin of the stupid ass accelerator suit from the first g.i. Joe movie. Lorenzo wants it all to be the same continuity, and he gives 0 shits if that continuity makes any sense.

[@bradleyrenfroe2776]

If this is all a prequel, to the Bayverse, I see it losing some more people. Most audiences don't trust these movies after The Last Knight and it is hard to blame them. The Bayverse if it is not dead already is on life support.

[@tallmex7183]

The only thing i can think of is the dinobots scanned the metallic dinosaurs in age of extinction. Idk the 4th and 5th movie brought the trop of multiple villans that are not really the main. Age of extinction is cemetery wind, lockdown, galvatron, and the creators. Last knight is quintessa, unicron, nemissis, and megatron

[@shawndashno6022]

Its like the G1 debate vs the new stuff (Animated, Prime, etc ) Noone can take those things from you. The Bayverse will still be there, theres like 6 of them! Go nuts. Same as the 80's cartoon, its still there, plus the '86 movie, go nuts!! Can we all just enjoy Transformers without it having to "belong" somewhere specific??

[@DarkSentinel52]

one thing that bayverse nailed for sure is sound design CGI and ofcourse the soundtrack made by legend himself steve jablonsky

[@PizzaTime1983]

Wait, the last knight had corporate meddling, that's the first time I've heard of this.

[@coolboynum1]

Finally, we're free from the Bayverse.
Edit: don't get the wrong idea, I don't hate the bayformers as I grew up with it.

[@princeofalltoasters8813]

The only reason there's even any debate over whether it's a prequel or reboot despite how SCREAMINGLY OBVIOUS it is that it's a reboot is because the people working on the film are playing both sides to get as wide an audience as possible

[@bobagorof]

I had to laugh at the idea that the Bayverse had a drop off in quality, due to the implication that they were quality to begin with. But, having said that, I do want to pull my brain out through my nose faster with the later movies than the earlier ones, so I guess I understand your general point...

Let go, Lorenzo. Bay had his chance, he got sloppy, lazy, and lost passion.

[@omarimus2260]

Lorenzo is the Avi Arad of the transformers fandom

[@brandonaustin6305]

The last knight told us that bumblebee fought against the nazis in ww2, however the bumblebee movie which is suppose to be a "prequel" shows us that he doesn't arrive on earth until the 80s. So no it is not a prequel, the continuity doesn't work at all, not to mention all the unicron stuff and how that was all retconned. It's obviously a reboot, it's not confusing at all, I do think that the Lorenzo guy is in denial. For him to call this a reboot would be him admitting that whatever they were doing with bayverse wasn't working and he's not gonna do that. So I imagine he'll hold onto this as long as he can but it's definitely a reboot.

So it’s official the definition of reboot and prequel are swapped
Reboots are events that take place in a time period before the events of the original story
Prequels are a clean slate that ignore the events of the original story and starting in a new direction
