so just about an hour or so ago before
making this video I was chatting on the
phone with a friend of mine and they
were like what are you doing tonight and
I said I'm going to make a video about
the future of the Transformers franchise
to which my friend said what future it's
called transformers the last night
it's done and I was like oh silly non
Transformers fan it's never done there
are plans not only for transformer 6 but
a bumblebee spin-off and they're going
to make other strands other Transformers
movies for which I have ideas met we're
going to talk about right now what we
know about the future of transformers
and what I hope for the future of
transformers and I hope you'll share
your hopes and dreams I'm sure some of
you will be like for it to go away
down in the comments below and that's a
big hurdle for Paramount and Hasbro
because while they continue to make
billions of dollars off of both the
movies and of course the brand itself
across the board it's really losing a
lot of steam in the United States right
I mean the the percentage of overseas
box office just gets bigger and bigger
China's holding this whole thing up so
they would like people united states to
maybe give it give the franchise a
second look and it's funny on that note
because there is an end credit sequence
which we're going to address but it
doesn't really play even in the middle
of the credits because I think they were
so terrified that people would run out
of the theater they were like oh no
one's going to wait for head and credits
sequence so we better hit hit them with
it right away so that perhaps they will
be excited about the future of
transformers I'm excited even though
Michael Bay says he's out he said that
before and Mark Wahlberg also says he's
out because he doesn't want to make a
transformers movie without Michael Bay I
think they could both stay quite frankly
after seeing the last night but I am
open to bringing new talent on board
Wonder Woman style you know pump some
fresh blood into this franchise that
doesn't always work though so we'll see
we could be wishing for bay and Walter
we could be like will if only we you
know how's how well off we were all
right so let's first start out with what
we know oh and by the way boy
oh and since I've just given you a
spoiler warning the last night is Mark
Wahlberg so uh since he's gone they can
move on to the next the next chapter and
they do of course set that up with the
teaser that Quintessa in human form
because that's the current trend female
villains right it's going to help the
humans defeat Unicron I have a theory
about that now they said the name
Unicron in the last night they're like
oh ours is actually Unicron
but then Quintessa says oh no Unicron is
deep within the earth and I can help you
defeat him now Unicron is from the very
first Transformers movie the animated
one and he was voiced by Orson Welles
showing that transformers has a deep and
rich history literally rich as a
respectable paycheck gig I think that's
hilarious
now Unicron is a transformer who doesn't
transform into a vehicle but into a
planet and he is one-half of a set of
twins kind of like a Cain and Abel God
in the devil's situation with Primus who
created the primes and of course one of
those Prime's is Optimus Prime
because everything goes back he's like
the Kevin Bacon of the Transformers
franchise everything goes back to
Optimus Prime although I think it's even
closer than six degrees it's like two
degrees of Optimus Prime but so anyway
all the other ideas that Unicron might
not be a transformer he might have
evolved to the god of chaos that which
would make Primus the god of order and
I'm starting to get serious transformers
heaven vibes so I don't know about you
how you feel but you know this is
supposed to be robots in disguise not
robots go to church although I'm sure so
too Transformers fans are very offended
you're like transformers they're really
you know as a very you know good
mythology don't be so dismissive of it
well we haven't really seen that on the
silver screen now Unicron has had
Decepticons work for him before
so clearly Quintessa is foolish but
that's not a big surprise she's clearly
tricking those stupid humans into
helping her free Unicron and there's no
challenge attached to transformer six in
front of or behind the camera there's
that writers room the
supposed to be orchestrating this whole
universe and I'm sure he has notes on
this but you know it's still very much
in the early stages now the bumblebee
spin-off though that's supposed to start
shooting like next month and that is
going that's going to be directed by a
founder of lekha and the director of the
last film that they Kubo in the two
strings last film that they did and he's
also the Nike psy on his father actually
is the one who paid for like a right wow
what a great dad and I think the Travie
site made the jump just in time because
lekha is running out of juice it just
cannot get that Oscar I don't see a lot
of films in its future especially since
Travis Knight now has something else to
do and I don't think anybody else who
works there has a father with billions
of dollars Hailee Steinfeld is rumored
to star that deal I don't believe is
actually signed and the film is going to
take place in 1980s which will make it a
very special episode of the Goldbergs
up with Travis Knight directing he's
really big on the fields but I actually
would prefer a Goldbergs episode with
bumblebee but I don't think that's what
we're going to get it's supposed to have
a young bubble bumblebee but how young
could you possibly be in the 80s since
we've now learned that he fought in
world war 2 which again I had problems
with it as you might recall from my
spoiler review but I think they want
those 80s sound bites I think that's why
they're doing it because of course
that's how bumblebee talks and there's a
lot of good material from the 80s now
what do I hope is in the future of the
Transformers franchise well that's
obvious a cogman movie I love carbon so
much he of course is voiced again by mr.
Carson from Downton Abbey but I think
that you might recall of course that
Anthony Hopkins his character died so
cogman has nobody left to serve he could
find someone from a whole different
family or perhaps Anthony Hopkins
character has long lost bastard son
which is totally what Coughlin would
call him and they could team up and have
a fabulous Odd Couple action movie it
writes itself
Hoffman is just so great with both the
action and the banter I honestly feel
this character has Rocket Raccoon Groot
level appeal I hope that Paramount makes
tries to make good on that and then I
would mine further exploring the whole
King Arthur trance
former's angle I thought that was really
compelling stuff I want Stanley Tucci
back as Merlin fantastic and I thought
you know he didn't have much to do but I
thought that Liam Garrigan playing
Arthur the second time around after once
upon a time I think he's got this role
down and I thought that his blue eyes
underneath is a born Auburn corroboree I
can't say Auburn Auburn curls and dirt
speckled bass I thought it was
compelling
I thought the knights of the round table
you know the very diverse knights of the
round table were equally compelling but
you know it was the most compelling that
Excalibur and their Armour was actually
transformers tech I thought that was a
really cool idea so I would love to see
this story continue perhaps even with
Michael Bay himself maybe he could go
and do a Transformers spin-off movie
because I think it's very strong you
know Guy Ritchie's got King Arthur I
thought was entertaining but this really
not only changes things up but I think
keeps the beautiful fantasy elements
which is what made everyone like the
King Arthur mythology in the first place
I mean really this sequence the
beginning of the movie was just
beautiful to behold and know very
exciting so I like that quite a bit so
that's what we know is ahead of the
Transformers franchise and what I hope
is ahead to the Transformers franchise
and I'm very curious to hear your
thoughts down below oh it's so divisive
but you know as long as people overseas
continue to see it paramount and Hasbro
will continue and they're just going to
try they're going to keep trying to lure
you in u.s. ticket buyers is there
anything anything that you think could
do the trick
write your thoughts down below and you
can check out some more videos right now
