"The Predacons in our film are more reptilian in nature. ... It's all about building a backstory to these characters, and we'll see that more on the Predacon and Terracon side"
This would be a change from pre-existing lore of Predacons, whose ranks in the Beast Wars series featured Spiders (Blackarachnia, Tarantulas), Scorpions (Scorponok, Quickstrike), Wasps (Waspinator), Crabs (Rampage) and an Ant (Inferno) - although perhaps this is being done to more easily differentiate the factions to start with to stand out when compared to the Decepticons and Terrorcons who will also be in the film.
He also remarked on further exploring the dynamics of Optimus Prime, which was something teased would be explored in a potential sequel to Bumblebee. Though it is unclear how much it will take from the Bumblebee film at this time.
"I want to discover more about Optimus Prime, get underneath the surface - get underneath the metal, if you would - and explore who he is and his experience on Earth".
