Take this as a rumor until its confirmed but theilluminerdi.com is reporting they have an "Exclusive" that one of the new Transformers movies is currently in production under the working name "Transformers: Beast Alliance". It is very easy to assume this is a reference to Beast Wars, but we've been here before with Hollywood interpreting things very differently than fans expected. Read on for the full quote from the illuminerdi that also let's us know this is possibly set within the Bumblebee movie timeline as well as some casting details:
Our sources within the studio have also provided us with context for the new science-fiction adventure. Transformers: Beast Alliance takes place in the Bumblebee timeline and will be set in the 1990’s. The film will have the flavor of a heist film that will span from Brooklyn to South America.
Caple and the production are currently looking to cast either an African-American or a Latino actor in his early to mid-twenties for lead role, along with a female co-lead as old or even slightly older, who can pass for a native New Yorker.
Honestly, the whole premise seems far-fetched from anything to do with a Beast Wars theme. However, never forget what the Bayverse put us through randomly cutting and pasting from Transformers lore new and old. Read the full article for more details at theilluminerdi.com.
NOTE - As always, it is not official until Hasbro or Takara announces it. So take this as a rumor until we have the official word.
