I'm going to guess this as the most likely scenario all the films in the first 2/5 minutes have a flash back to a long time ago.

Which would mean it draws just as much inspiration from the first TF UK comic arc, "Man of Iron", as "A Decepticon Raider In King Arthur's Court".Sabrblade wrote:It's also possible that, instead of any time travel, all the Arthurian scenes take place entirely in flashbacks. Maybe a reasonable amount of the film is set in the past the natural way.
And it's about time. Because when I first heard Bay watched every episode of the G1 cartoon, but nothing about comics, I asked myself, if I was able to recommend just one comic story to him to research, what would it be? Man of Iron, no question. It may not have contributed anything enduring to the mythos (partly because it's an awkward fit in Marvel continuity), but it always felt more like the comic adaptation of a British TF movie that didn't quite get made in 1985. Well, now that movie will actually sort of exist, and I can't complain about that.
It was also the first story to play with the 4-million-year gap, and considering all 4 Bay films have done some variation on that to try and ground the story's stakes in Earth history, it's just a natural fit.
And if he leaves Lancelot and the round table out of the story (as they surely won't have time to stop off in France), TF:TLK will be a tad more historically accurate than most movies involving King Arthur, FWIW.

That's personally what I'm hoping for myself in this instance.

And Graham Chapman is the best King Arthur.

It's pretty interesting, but I do disagree with the "unwatchable" comment.

This leaves us a number of options: Merlin travels through time; Merlin reincarnates; this rumour is entirely unfounded; there is a mistake on Mashable; it's just a guy named Merlin. Let us know what you make of it in the Energon Pub!
Mark Wahlberg stars alongside Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Isabela Moner, Laura Haddock, Jerrod Carmichael, Gil Birmingham and Anthony Hopkins. Santiago Cabrera will co-star as Merlin, and many of your favorite Autobots and Decepticons will return as well.

But there's still police car and crane robots somehow?
If it goes as weird as Scioli's TF vs G.I. Joe, I'm in.

Posted by Kurona on August 30th, 2016 @ 4:55pm CDT
Honestly I bet a lot of these things will be restricted to cameos so the movie isn't too cluttered. Merlin and Arthur being a flashback, Barricade being an opening/second scene capture/kill, etc.

SO EXCITED for my first day on @transformers! See you tomorrow @michaelbay @laurajhaddock #TransformersTheLastKnight
From another British cast member, Laura Haddock, we have a look at a new prop from the set, in the shape of a skull with a laurel crown, skewered by a sword. What does it mean? We have no idea, but take a look and speculate away in the Energon Pub!
And finally, if you happen to be in the UK and fancy your chances at being an extra on the Paramount and Michael Bay movie, why not take a look at the Casting call right here. What type of extra role? Vaguely historically inaccurate generic medieval soldiers and knights, on both the Saxon and Arthur's sides of a battle, but also main speaking roles and film crew spots - more info below!
The Paramount Pictures feature film “Transformers: The Last Knight” has completed filming in Detroit, and is moving on to London, England to continue filming. There is an official casting call seeking males over 16 years of age who have long hair and/or beards to portray medieval soldiers and knights in an epic battle sequence that will film between October 3rd and October 14, 2016. To be considered, all talent MUST have legal eligibility to work in the entertainment industry in London, and the documentation and resources are available here. “Transformers: The Last Knight”, will center on the previously unknown connection between giant alien robots from the planet Cybertron and the mythical court of fifth century English monarch King Arthur. This film is currently using the working title of “E75”.
Transformers: The Last Knight London Casting Call Information
All talent are required to be legally eligible to work in London and in the United Kingdom, and have a national insurance number. The London Actors Resource Guide eBook contains the information and documents for adults, minors, and foreign talent who would like to work as an actor or extra on film productions in London and the United Kingdom. All Actors Resource Guide eBooks are available here.
“Transformers: The Last Knight” will be filming a major medieval battle scene between Saxon Invaders and King Arthur’s Knights. Shooting will be taking place in London, England between October 3rd and October 14, 2016. The casting directors are seeking the following:
• MALES – 16 years of age and older, with long hair and/or long beards. This is to play medieval Saxon invaders and King Arthur’s Knights. Very good pay.

Doubt it. This is LICENSING expo, not Toy Fair.
Most new designs have made it onto social media already, so we won't have a repeat of the Toy Fair I reported from - for AoE - either. Still, interesting to keep an eye on it.

Only since the 9th doctor, there aren't that many episodes since unlike American shows with seasons of 22 episodes, there are only 10 DW episodes per season. My wife was a huge fan but we aren't caring for Capaldi all that much.

13 episodes... and tbh I gotta agree. Capaldi's where it really went downhill for me; as someone who practically watched the show religiously since they were 8. It's gotten to the point I can pinpoint the exact moment everything went awry...
Anyway, Va'al, since you asked so kindly.
Doctor Who, Vampires of Venice, TARDIS, Dalek, Sonic Screwdriver, Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill, David Tennant, John Barrowman, Billie Piper, Christopher Eccleston... I can go on

Nah, it was the finale of Series 6. I still kept going though but I finally decided enough was enough and stopped watching at Cyber-Brigadier

I like Christopher Eccleston best. Honestly, I don't care for David Tennant as the Doctor. There, I said it.
There are only select episodes I really like of the series anyway, like the weeping angels and anything featuring Harold Saxon. But after Saxon I lost interest almost completely.
