With Transformers: The Last Knight set to hit cinemas this June, Paramount Pictures will soon be turning its attention to its first Transformers spinoff movie, centred on the fan-favourite character of Bumblebee.
The project found a director last month in Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings), and now Michael Bay has offered up a few hints as to the plot, revealing to MTV that it will be a prequel to the first Transformers movie and that it will “go a little younger, and it will be dealing more with his character, and it’s just about him.”

Bumblebee did spend a number of years stationed on Earth prior to the first Transformers movie, so assuming it doesn’t take place on Cybertron or another alien world, it sounds like we’ll be seeing one of Bumblebee’s early Earth adventures before he ends up gathering dust in Uncle Bobby B’s Finest Quality Used Cars and Petting Zoo.
Transformers: Bumblebee is set for release on June 8th 2018.
