| 01.08.2019 – Bumblebee is the first character to be featured in a solo movie, which is considered a spotlight on the character. In the comic books, IDW Publishing produced one-shot stories featuring well-known TF characters and Hasbro takes inspiration to that concept in bringing it to their film series with a soft reboot to the franchise.
The timeline is set in 1987 going back to an era of pop culture nostalgia for Transformers fans out there. Hasbro goes small with the sixth iteration of the Transformers films with renewed direction focusing on one character namely Bumblebee. |
