When we first met Bumblebee in 2007’s Transformers, he’d arrived on Earth and had been sent to protect Sam Witwicky from the Deceptions.
Part of me also wonders if this prequel information is a misdirect, and that during the events of The Last Knight, Bumblebee is somehow transported back in time, and that’s where the spinoff picks up.
I suspect the former if only to stick with the formula laid out by the previous movies, but again, that’s not certain.
Whatever happens to Bumblebee in The Last Knight, moviegoers are guaranteed at least one more appearance out of him, which begs one question: since this is taking place “back” in the timeline, will Bumblebee still be on Earth or will we see him on Cybertron?
