The film will pick up after the events of 2018’s Bumblebee and follows Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and an unlikely team of humans who are joined by a group of powerful new allies; the Transformers Beasts. The introduction of beast characters will be a significant moment for all. From kids to core fans, and especially those who grew up with Beast Wars in the 90s. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts raises the stakes and set us up for what’s to come over the next few years in our film franchise.” Possible First Look At Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Battle Changers Bumblebeehttps://news.tfw2005.com/2022/03/30/possible-first-look-at-transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-battle-changers-bumblebee-452700 NEW ACQUISITIONS  Jason: Brad: Legends Ravage, wreck gar OUTROThank you for listening!
