In 2008, Micheal Bay released his first transformers film, which were the first time audiences had seen these characters on the big screen. However, unlike the cartoon and toys, bay approached the look of the transformers much differently then fans had come to expect. Creating both cautious intrigue from those who were curoisue about the redesigns, but also anger from those who wished for the original G1 designs to be translated to the big screen. Unfortunately, Micheal Bay felt the g1 designs would look stupid in live action, so for years fans could only dream about how they’d look within our reality. Luckily Travis Knight and Steven caple jr would answer their wish with the release of bumblebee and Transformers rise of the beast which offer more accurate Gen 1 designs of the characters.
