Behold the very first teaser trailer for "Bumblebee," the eagerly anticipated "Transformers" spinoff, which stars Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena.

The upcoming action-adventure film, which takes place in 1987 before the events of the "Transformers" films, is the first standalone installment in the Hasbro-based franchise -- and the first "Transformers" movie that's not directed by Michael Bay. Instead it's being directed by former Laika stop-motion studio president Travis Knight, who previously made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed animated movie "Kubo and the Two Strings."

As the title suggests, "Bumblebee" features the fan-favorite yellow-colored and black striped Transformer who is now back transforming into the classic Volkswagen Beetle.

Steinfeld plays a young Californian teen who, while sorting through a junkyard, stumbles upon an old beaten-up VW bug. After taking the vehicle home with her, she soon discovers the car is actually a large transforming alien robot. But her discovery comes with a cost, specifically in the form of an intimidating military officer (played by Cena), who appears to be dead set on tracking down and capturing the yellow Autobot.

The cast also includes Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Jason Drucker, Abby Quinn, Rachel Crow, Ricardo Hoyos, Gracie Dzienny, Pamela Adlon, Kenneth Choi, and John Ortiz.

Written by screenwriter Christina Hodson (Shut In), who was recently tapped to write the upcoming "Batgirl" movie, "Bumblebee" will be opening in theaters near Christmas, beginning December 21st.
