The official BumbleBee movie trailer just dropped and it gave alot of feels for us G1 or Generation One fans who grew up watching the original 80s cartoon.
I'M OFFICIALLY SHOOKT!!
I'm at work and I'm trying my best to hold my tears. It took them this long to finally bring the G1 Transformers fans like me grew up with to the big screen and they are amazing to behold. They are EXACTLY as you would imagine them on the big screen.
To put some context to people who are unaware why G1-fans like me are so happy with this trailer... For the longest time, the previous films avoided depicting Transformers closer to their "Generation One" or G1 look, which is what alot of fans like me grew up with watching.
For example; THIS is "Soundwave" from the previous Michael Bay films:
Now compare that to the actual look of Soundwave from the original 1980s cartoon series, which looks like this:
Just looking at them, they look absolutely nothing alike!! This was something that most fans hated from the original movies. And now, look at the new Soundwave from the BumbleBee movie trailer:
Now THIS is how Soundwave should look. I mean heck, I CAN LITERALLY TELL THAT IS SOUNDWAVE JUST BY LOOKING AT HIM!! Seeing Soundwave in his G1-look gave me so much feels because he is my favorite TF since I was a kid, and seeing him FINALLY given justice in the big screen gave me alot of feels.
G1 fanboy feels aside, the trailer also gave a glimpse of the Decepticon triple changers that will serve as this film's antagonists. And look at that, DECEPTICONS WITH COLOR AND DESIGNS THAT I CAN ACTUALLY DISTINGUISH FOR A CHANGE!! :D
Thank you Paramount Pictures and the team behind Bumblebee the movie for taking the chance in making this happen. As a Transformers fanboy, I cannot thank you enough. NOW I'm legitimately excited for this film to come out on the big screen!! <3 <3 <3
