Australian Transformers Weekly

• Australian Transfomorers Weekly Episode 269, 4th June 2023

  Welcome to Australian Transformers Weekly, bringing you Transformers news from around the world and across Australia.   This is episode 270 We are recording live on Sunday June 4th, 2023 wtf!   In this weeks episode: Rise of the planet of the beast of the transmorphing animals is just around the corner, so let’s have a little look at what’s been released already and have some wild speculation.    All of that and more is coming up in this week’s episode - after this! OPENING CREDITS   WELCOME   Hosts introduction   Movie News: So there’s been 49 tv spots, 18 trailers, I’m sure most of the film has already been shown to us. But let’s start with the trailers.    So from the official trailer, primal tells us the maximals have been in hiding along time, by the sounds of it from unicron. To humans. But now unicron has found them and wants to destroy them and seemingly the planet they inhabit.            A resent reviewer let slip unicron sends scourge to earth in search of the trans warp key which the maximals stole a long time ago and which prevents unicron from traveling through space.    We should also mention, even thou it’s being marketed as transformers 7, and streaming services are bumping the last knight up into the top ten most popular movies hopefully not because movie goers think its a sequel to that. But it has been confirmed its a sequel to bumble bee. Takes place in 1994 but dose it exist in the same universe as the bay films?   Primal also tells prime his never faced anything like this. And prime also says this isn’t our war presumably referring to the auto bots. So are they trying to tell us the predacons and maximals are a earlier evolution of transformers and not one from the far future? (Beast wars back story may be required.)   And lastly looking at plot we have the terrorcons lead by scourge seemly the new minions of unicron doing his bidding on earth. Max you might have a better understanding of g1 terrorcons, weren’t they a combiner team?            But they are the new foe in the film. No deceptions, and no predacons. Why do a beasts film and not have the predacons.    So that’s most of the plot stuff, let’s look,at some of these characters.  Mirage and Noah, Arcee Wheel jack Bumblebee Stratosphere  Prime   Primal Rhinox Cheetor Air Razor   Scourge Nightbird Battle trap Freezer Transit   Unicron   Final thoughts, there’s been some news posts online talking about the production of the film being a mess etc. I think it’s important not to listen too hard to news sites writing about films they aren’t fans of.    So how are we going to see it. Paramount and hasbro Australia threw together a special early screening for Victorian transformers fans for this Thursday June 8th. Since this episode will be out before that screening I’m not going to say where it is so there isn’t a rush of fans trying to sneak in. But it’s not the only early screening. Event cinemas has a advanced screening on June 9th, Dendy Cinemas have one on June 10th and village cinemas have one on June 12th. All a week or so ahead of the 22nd nationwide release date.    Max and I both have invites to the June 8th screening but unfortunately I won’t be able to make it but max is flying in from Adelaide to attend. I guess this asks the question what film would you go to extremes for just to see before everyone else?  OUTRO Thank you for listening!
