I think the Transformer One trailer is trying to trick us

Ok hear me out-

Recently there has been a trend of big-time trailers subverting audience expectations to keep a big reveal a secret. (Looking at Marvel/Spiderman.) I have to give it to Hasbro first because it looks like there is every single Transformer in this trailer. (People were even spotting Jazz, Mirage, etc. in that wide shot of the team looking down.)

But what stuck out to me was the scene with Soundwave, Starscream, and Shockwave.

Because those three (from my knowledge) don't really interact until they are a part of the Decepticon force. And this is the origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

So what's going on???

My big out-of-the-pond theory is that Soundwave and Shockwave were edited in for the trailer. Hear me out!

Hasbro wants to include all their major hitting characters in the trailer to grab the audience's attention and add a few easter eggs to get everyone looking closer. (A lot of seekers I've noticed.) Okay, a lot of seekers. I counted several. I know that they were in abundance in the G1 show. (I know it was probably budget reasons but still.)

My shot-in-the-dark theory for the main plotline is that this is like a round-up for both of the factions to fight whatever enemy it is. (Quintession???) Orion Pax already has Bumblebee and Elita and will probably meet Prowl and Ratchet. From what we've seen D-16 will meet his three commanders. But not at once like the trailer shows!

I need to get to the point.

Starscream already having a sort of leadership role but it's with the seekers. D-16 and Orion Pax have to convince them to join their side to fight the bad guy and it's possibly a point of contention between the two because, we all know Starscream and violence. (Also there were a lot of shots showing seekers in explosions and my Primus if they reference Vos-)

Soundwave and Shockwave aren't gonna be at Starscream's side, but other seekers. (Please Hasbro I beg give me Skywarp and Thundercracker.) Soundwave and Shockwave will already be teaming up with them or about to team up with them or refusing to team up. (Who cares this post turned into seeker central.)

Or the movie is gonna oversimplify everything and have the three of the high command be there to meet D-16. (Give me strength I hope not.)

TLDR: Soundwave and Shockwave were edited in for the trailer only and Starscream is ruler of the seekers. (And this post is a mess.)

I love bullying Starscream and Rodimus. Who, in your professional opinion, is the prettiest when they beg?

I honestly can't pick, which do you think, fellas?
