    Transformers 6

    Hasbro Pushing Forward w/o Waiting for Bumblebee Results
    Meanwhile Paramount and Hasbro’s All Spark Pictures have postponed release of a new Transformers 6 film until after 2019, due largely to the release of the Bumblebee film late this year, which pushed out plans for home entertainment. Transformers 6 had been scheduled for release on June 21, 2019.

    Less than a year away? Did they already film it or something?

    So here's the thing. Transformers w/o Bay looks promising from the Bumblebee trailer alone, so I'm sure it's the right time for a reboot in that style. (If they actually reboot) I just wonder if movie goers are burned out from all of those terrible sequels. I feel like the franchise is riding on Bee's movie, but who knows?

    I thought Hasbro was rebooting the whole thing to create a shared universe with G.I. Joe, ROM, etc, similar to what they've established in the current comics.

    On that note, has anyone been reading the IDW Transformers run?
    Spoiler: show
    Rung being Primus.. did not see that coming.

    All in all, if they make of the new movies based on what I have seen from the Bumblebee movie then I would be 100x more okay with it than any of those abomination bay movies.

    @Serra was thinking of starting to read them again...any good so far ?

    Like any story, it has its good and its bad, but I've been enjoying them for several years now. It's essentially what these movies should have been -- a new telling of the G1 continuity that approaches the question of what would happen if the Transformers appeared today, with a focus squarely on the Transformers rather than humans. Some of the best stuff has been what they've done with Megatron, to the point that I'd go so far as saying this is the best take on the character (caveat there being you have to get through a rough stretch with Rodimus to reach that payoff. It's definitely worth the payoff, but man am I not a fan of Rodimus..). I wish they hadn't combined the universes of all the Hasbro properties because I'm not the biggest fan of all the cross-over material, but it often feels like they ignore that, so it is not the biggest issue.

    Rodimus was always one of my favorite characters but sad to hear that he is crap-tier in the comics. Guess I will be starting the comic line today then !

    Looks like Amazon sells the IDW TF series in Hardback. Guess I will be queuing those up on the order list this week.

    I was never the biggest fan of Rodimus, so that might be part of it, but he feels like so much more of a spaz in this continuity. Just a heads up, the start of the continuity isn't as great -- I think they were trying to figure some things out early on. If I remember, I think the first really good arc was All Hail Megatron (which makes Perceptor a bad-ass).
