I'm cautiously optimistic. At the very least it can't be worse than The Last Knight But more seriously, I actually REALLY dig the beast designs. I fully expected to hate them from the couple still shots we got but in motion they look terrific. I've got a true G1 looking Optimus on screen, a Primal that's got his toy curved swords, a real Arcee, and shots of an Autobot with a special power like they had in their tech specs (old school Porche, but the clones remind me of Mirage, so I'm not sure if that's supposed to be him or Jazz, but still). These are signs that point to a love for the source material, so that makes me feel that it could be pretty good like Bumblebee was.

Yeah, I like what I’m seeing so far. Arcee is looking the best she ever has in a live action movie. The BW guys all look suitably great, though I am a bit bummed that they didn’t get any yellow on Cheetor. But otherwise he looks great in motion. I’ve never been a big fan of AirRazor, but I really liked her in the Netflix show & hopefully she’s cool here too.
Yeah, I’m totally there in June. I’m hoping this does right by my favorite cast of TFs.

I admit, I'm tempering my expectations to "decent action movie", though I've already seen people setting themselves up for disappointment with "T-Rex Megatron or fail" statements that we already know will go unfulfilled.
I'm interested to see where the Terrorcons fall on this too. We see a LITTLE of them here, but hopefully there'll be more in future trailers.
But really, just being coherent along the lines of the Bumblebee movie would be great to me.

Given that flourish as the guy walked out of his vehicle mode, I'd wager that's Jazz.
Also, while I'd prefer otherwise, I expect one of the Beasts is going to get scrapped...at LEAST one. Maybe Airrazor, but possibly Primal, if they want to shoehorn in a "passing of leadership" with him and Cheetor.
But hey, I could be wrong.

That's my mentality too, though I am kinda half suspecting/expecting True Megatron to show up to set the sequel hook, ie at the very end of the movie or a post credit stinger.

From what I have seen, the Porce is meant to be Mirage. He is meant to be the Human relations character instead of Bee.... which is fair, Bee has been the human butt monkey how long?

If Jazz died in the first movie, could he even be in this one? I'm really not clear on the continuity or timeline at this point. Like... what's the relationship between this Arcee and that other one?

If the rumors are true, there’s time travel involved & the Bay movies are going to basically be retconned as the bad ending that they’re trying to fix.

Not to mention, they already deviated from that Bay timeline with Prime showing up on Earth in 80's after the events of Bumblebee
I didn't catch if this is supposed to be set in the 90's (it'd make sense, since that's when Beast Wars premiered), but I figured it was enough of a pre-Bay era that Jazz would be alive...IF that's actually him and not Mirage.
