Old_Nash Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 So... http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/16/transformers-cinematic-universe-current-movie-series-rebooted-358641 And at last they droped Bayformers! https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-live-action-film-series-to-be-rebooted-and-transformers-6-removed-from-roadmap/40680/ Quote
dizman Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Wow ok, killing the bayverse dead sounds good to me. We've been hearing for a few years now how Hasbro wants their own movie universe, guess this is the first big step towards that goal. Quote
Boobytrap Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 This is wonderful news. While what we get in the future may not be any better than the steaming pile they have been dishing out at least now there is the possibility of an improved product. Quote
GobotFool Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I have strangely mixed feelings. I recognize the Bayverse movies to be truly dreadful movies, but over the years they have become kinda guilty pleasures for me. I'll be happy just as long as they get a competent director for the reboot. Edited February 16, 2018 by GobotFool Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 as glad as i am that bayverse gave a boost ot the TF brand 10+ years ago making many things possible....i'm REALLY REALLY happy they are rebooting. hopefully we get better designs and better stories...one thing...they better still retain peter cullen for optimus though Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I am so glad the movies were so bad I never saw the last 2. Quote
TangledThorns Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I doubt we'll see much change in quality. As bad as the last films were they made money and that's all the studios care for. Good example is the recent Star Wars films. Quote
Nightbat Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 What does it say about the Bay movies, if someone like me APPLAUDS a reboot of the Transformers? Quote
JB0 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 More importantly... does this mean we're gonna get a MASK movie?!?! Quote

sh9000 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 That’s great news. I’ll probably skip the Bumblebee movie. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 M.A.S.K. is one of those properties that I think would make a good tv show with high production value. Do it on HBO or Netflix, make it a little grittier, and I think it could be more successful in that format as opposed to movies, as their movies thus far have all been schlocky. When you have a large cast of characters, it's difficult to introduce them all and make them all meaningful to the story. Moreover, M.A.S.K. would work well in a format similar to the X-Files where there's an overarching story, and a number of stand-alone episodes that serve to expand characters and maybe contribute to the larger story. Properties like M.A.S.K., G.I. Joe, and Transformers all have a pantheon of characters, so it's very limiting to build a movie around a large cast and cobble a story together trying to involve them in a way that showcases their particular skills, not to mention their personalities, and include an iconic vehicle or bit of hardware her or there. TV's the perfect venue, IMO. Not really sold on the Bumblebee movie; I like that he's a bug, but it reeks of Bay, and thus far I've had no interest. I'll peek at the eventual reviews around here, but I suspect it'll be more of the same, which will only cement further my relief and happiness that Bay's out. Quote

I want to see the Bumblebee movie but I fear that the Bayverse aesthetic will ruin the movie for me. The movie Bubmlebee model is unable to create emotions. Quote
Big s Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I can’t see how mask would work as a serious movie. A parody might work, but would probably just end up stupid. Quote

CoryHolmes Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Any news about the Visionaries property? That's one that I need to have back! Quote

dizman Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 I'll just hope that he's trying to keep things quiet until after the Bumblebee movie comes out so it won't hurt toy or movie sales, afterwards they'll throw the bayverse in the trash for good. Quote

That does seem to be the implication from the updated article. Quote
