Question: is it pronounced CheeTor or Cheater? I've always called him CheeTor, but I was rewatching a beast wars episode, and I swear he calls himself Cheater a few times! So now I'm confused.
It seems that Arcee's design took a lot of inspiration from her appearance in TFP, which I honestly like as Prime is one of my favorite TF series out there so far.
I’ll say this about Wheeljack’s new design… It does well at capturing Wheeljack’s nerdy and inventive personality, and it does have some level of creative charm to it. The problem is that it just doesn’t evoke the name “Wheeljack.” It could work for, say, a movie version of Medix from Rescue Bots or Ironfist/Fisitron. It just doesn’t necessarily fit Wheeljack. Maybe it’ll look better in the actual movie than it does on the toy. As it is, at least it’s not Que.
I imagine Hasbro would demand it be changed since they're doing their best to be consistent with their characters in terms of appearance, vehicle mode and personality.
I know whatcha mean. It feels like this was out of the director's hands and more of the executive decision. Sorta like when Steven Spielberg personally requested that they make Wheeljack look like Que from the James Bond movies in TF3.
Hopefully maybe his own solo movie like RBG speculates, which would be a great way to explore his character especially if they make him similar to IDWs prowl
RBG What's Up!!!!!! Man, I love that someone finally did a video on the cast of the movie, and to be honest while I'm happy that we as transformers are getting another great movie which I believe this film is a sequel to bumblebee but also a new game! Our plates bout to be full. However, it does upset me that it took Michael bay 6 movies when he only needed three but I digress great content, and keep up the great work.
I disappointed my favorite maximal isn’t in it or looks like he isn’t by the trailer. I loved Rattrap and I surprised when he was one of the main characters of beast wars. I also would liked to see some of the predactcons. Like we have Optimus Primal but don’t have beast wars era Megatron, we don’t have Waspanator who think many fans would love to hear his unique dialogue. I agree Wheeljack looks bad but for most part I’m happy with the overall movie and will be seeing it when it releases.
there's going to be a lot more in the movie, including maximals I'm pretty sure. the predacons and I think maybe even some decepticons are in it and they haven't been shown yet.
He’s one of my top 10 favorite transformers ever since g1 and this just hurts to see him getting disrespected again 😂😂 But I’m so hyped for Optimus primal he’s always been one of if not my favorites easy top 3 favorites
THEY NEVER MAKE HIM DIFFERENT! Wheeljack is the MOST consistent main Autobot character in appearance in the franchise second only to Soundwave. He is so god damn consistent that ROTB is only his THIRD unique design EVER put to the screen! Wheeljack is absolutely BEGGING for a new design, he's been so monosyncranus for decades now!
Well I'm always open to new interpretations of a character. I absolutely love Armada's take on Wheeljack. And he has almost nothing in common with his G1 counterpart, including aesthetic. So I'm just gonna wait and see
Always love your videos man. I am the biggest nerd when it comes to transformers and its refreshing to see someone who has played all the games/ watched all the movies and shows give their take on things
I im really hyped for this film but the thing that i am sad about is wheeljacks new face I thought for sure the fans and I were going to get wheeljacks old face from the g1 era
Same. It feels like this was out of the director's hands and more of the executive decision. Sorta like when Steven Spielberg personally requested that they make Wheeljack look like Que from the James Bond movies in TF3.
7:07 I think what they have for Arcee is like she’ll have half wheels on are legs and then half of the other wheel on her back plate cause I swear I remember her old toy transforming to something similar like that
I love "Optimus,I agree with everything you said. It definitely would've been cool,if he had the blue hands. Oh God "Arcee looks fantastic. Definitely spot on 👌
They need to fix wheelbase obviously, but we NEED to at least have a cameo of our favorite warlord, the great scrapmaker, the liberator of the annual classes, the walking fusion cannon himself. The Great, the mighty MEGATRON.
The fact they screwed up Wheeljack's design, are leaving out Ironhide and Ratchet along with not using Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave or any other staple characters really makes me want to skip the movie all together.
They put character over Nostalgia for Wheeljacks design, there's literally nothing saying Ironhide and Ratchet won't make a cameo in the film just like how the Cybertron scene in Bumblebee was never hinted at in it's first trailers, Megatron is still frozen in the Hoover damn per the timeline, and having Starscream and Soundwave on Earth would undo the end of the Bumblebee movie.
07 and Bee movie will after this one for surely be the best we've got, this one has so much material so it will end up pretty much like Spiderman 3 from 2007.
wheeljack looks like that emoji with big glasses my god what were they thinking?! isnt this a sequel to bumblebee? why change that much the design from a movie to another?
I think they know we won’t like wheeljack face which is why he isn’t in a trailer yet. They saw what happened to sonic and didn’t want to waste money to fix his head in every scene. They also know we are going to meme the heck out of it which will get more people to want to watch the movie and see what’s happening.
"He's likely to be a terrorcon because-" I mean it's obvious, you said that over a clip where we can very clearly see the terrorcon logo on his alt mode. "His eyes and mouth have that reddish orange glow like Scourge." ... Uh... I mean sure, but there was also a lot more connecting points plainly visible.
Battletrap had "Bernies", as the name of the tow truck company. i bet its a tribute to Bernie Mac. the 2007 Transformers 1. and the leaked post credit scene of Barricade finding Bumblebee on the used car lot could be true??
*my first comment was too long to put this in it.* 1) RBG, Prime was always going to get a blend of the G1 and Bayverse designs as these films were always going to be a soft-reboot. Keeping the events of the previous films as canon, but not necessarily the designs or minor plotpoints. If you had expected an exclusively G1 design, especially after the Bumblebee film, then its no surprise you were shocked and disappointed. 2) In Dark of the Moon, I consider the "nerdy" inventer to just be an original bot considering his name is Que. I don't believe Bay wanted to have Wheeljack in the film series since he was being used in Transformers: Prime. That, or the studio stopped him from doing so. As we all know, companies think people will confuse the movie and show characters together. Generally, that idiotic belief is a trait used by WB for decades. However, I think that paramount may have elected to do a temporary embargo on characters. Ones used in shows cannot be used in films. That is why Hound shares a lot of similarities to Bulkhead. In a fanfic i'm slowly working on, i elected to have Hound and Bulkhead be brothers. Que and Wheeljack are going to be related as well. Might turn Que into Wheeljack's uncle, father, or something. I digress. point is, Que and Hound are original characters to me despite the characters they were meant to be. 3) As Que was murdered in Dark of the Moon, and they're apparently giving Wheeljack a similar appearance and personality... I think it's likely "wheeljack" is actually going to be a younger Que in a flashback or something. I mean, from what I heard, this film is supposed to take place in both the past and the present. So, it is 100% possible they'll have Que return but as a younger man prior to the war's end. Maybe they'll have the Bumblebee wheeljack onscreen alongside him? who knows. however, if they do call this version wheeljack and have him not be related to Que... i will probably be disappointed.
Man I was so pumped that they was going with the g1 design for this new movie and but now that they are changing them to the bay look sucks seeing what they looked like in the bumble bee movie was so cool and they need to stick with that look it’s going to be better for the fans of the g1 series
If they did a all g1 live action movie were everyone looks like they did in the tv show. The hole world would love it and they would make so much more money then they ever had befor.
Wheeljack lookin' like Baeverse's TMNT's Donatello but somehow nerdier... Look's are one thing, but I REALLY hope the voice works for the character to tie everything in. Prime's is...interesting, a mix of G-1 with Bay's sleeker design, though, and this is me nitpicking, they could've left the jaw plate on for the full G-1 experience. As much as I like the warrior transformation, it's not necessary compared to how iconic his G-1 lineage is since it carried onto other Transformers installments. As for the rest, they did a bang up job keeping the designs recognizable and awesome for marketing promotions (As questionable as the design choices may be from time to time)
Yeah, Wheeljack's new "face" doesn't exactly sit well with me. Even though I was barely a sperm during the days of G1, I kinda prefer he'd at least had his fins and faceplate from his original design. Heck, TF Prime Wheeljack's head was more faithful to the character.
Face aside on Optimus, it's like they took the armor on the Cybertronian War flashback from Bumblebee and pulled it off to try to get the flat slimmer edges like G1. I love G1 Optimus but him being so weirdly blocky and thin doesn't work that well
Crossing my fingers that Wheeljacks redesign is just an altmode when he's inventing/researching something and the BB design didn't totally get scrapped.
I see Que and Wheeljack as two separate characters, so if they call him Que in the film throughout the film instead of Wheeljack, then I'll be fine. Though that probably won't happen.
@@nurebeltv there not just action set pieces now according to Steven himself, the humans are the secondary characters while the transformers are the main characters
You could take away his lancia form. You could take away his shoulder cannon. You could take away his white and green paint job. But the glowing ear thingies must stay!
It'd be nice to see Dinobot, but if I had to guess, they're saving him for when the Predacons are introduced. Presumably so we can see his defection on screen.
I like to think que and wheeljack are similar but 2 different characters. Like they were friends with common interests and personalities same with Dino except Dino has more potential to grow into a new charachter
I wish Scourge had his original starship alt mode instead of the truck. Megatron and Galvatron already transformed into trucks. Lets have a unique alt mode again.
So you want the VFX studio to abuse its employees for months and end up going bankrupt to delay the film to a release date with stronger competition so they ultimately end up earning less money just for the sake of nostalgia? Why the fuck would they EVER do that?
@@NexusProductions-rz1sv Also to add more salt to the wound Moving Picture Company's studio in Vancouver shut down because of the Sonic Redesign! They probably won't try that again if they don't want another one of their studios to get shut down either.
Let's ignore the whole "I picked the actors based on skin color and ethnicity" that this movie is going into with and enjoy the characters models themselves👍🏻
The film will be set in an area of New York that has a well known dense African American population, and god damn PERU how many white people are supposed to be there? And if you mean the voice actors then it double doesnt fucking matter because THEY'RE ALIEN ROBOTS NOT HUMANS
Except for not being street legal and landlocked to a continent the characters won't be on during the film and the fact the trailer literally shows a practical purpose for Wheeljack being the bus.
personally wheeljack looks fine bedsides the head, I wouldn't mind it if they atleast gave him the glowing antenna things, the colors are weird but i don't mind them it's just the head
I've only been around since the Aligned Continuity with Prime so please don't melt and eviscerate me in the comments when I say this. I think Wheeljack's new design looks like it could be potential pretty good as kind of that "Nerd who can actually mess you up because they're actually one CRAZY bitch". Like someone who's about to blow something up while trying to fix something and doesn't even notice it it bat an eye when they're engulfed in flames. It probably won't be the iteration that people want but it could still POTENTIALLY be something that people look back on positively IF they make it work. They could also make his Square Goggles his new Flashing Blue Warning Lights. Flashing and intensifying their glow with conveying his emotions sense that's kind of what his Warning Lights did with his lower face half only now it's reversed with his top half of his face being covered. But that's just my thoughts on the matter.
