Could Bumblebee be getting his own Transformers movie?

Plans are afoot to expand the multi-billion-dollar film franchise as much as possible and that could mean giving individual characters spin-off movies as well as prequels and further sequels.

According to several publications including The Playlist, Hasbro in particular is very keen for that first spin-off to be centred around Bumblebee, the yellow Chevrolet Camaro or, for those that haven't seen the movies but remember playing with the toys, the yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

Paramount, the studio behind the four Michael Bay Transformers films to date has no made secret of its desire to keep making Transformers films and is in the process of building up a huge writing team.
