The Energon Pub

Earlier this week, Paramount treated a small group of die-hard Transformers and Michael Bay fans to a special Transformers The Last Knight Super Fan Event. The day began at Universal Studios, continued on to the Paramount Lot in Hollywood, proceeded to Bay Films in Santa Monica where we hung out with Michael Bay for about 90 minutes, and the day ended at the IMAX Headquarters in Los Angeles where Bay showed us an additional 25 minutes of various footage from the upcoming Last Knight film. The images below are a small sampling of our galleries from this exciting day. Each image links to a larger gallery. Special thank you to Michael Bay and Paramount for putting together an amazing experience for those of us in attendance. Without further ado, check out the full galleries by clicking on the images below.


Transformers The Ride - 3D at Universal Studios Hollywood

Our day began by heading over to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out Transformers The Ride - 3D. It was fun to once again go on this ride, which is a lot of fun if you haven't had a chance to do it yet. You can view our full coverage of Transformers The Ride - 3D from past events here on Seibertron.com at Universal Hollywood, the red carpet event at Universal Orlando, or the special BotCon Fan Experience Event.






Paramount Lot Tour

Next on our agenda, we were treated to a special Paramount Lot Tour complete with cameos by Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Dr. Phil! We even got to check out the Technicolor sound stage where they were working on the audio for several scenes from Transformers The Last Knight, though unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures during that part of our tour.













Transformers vehicles from The Last Knight

Some of the "real" stars of the Transformers The Last Knight film were present at Paramount today including Optimus Prime (Western Star 5700 XE), Bumblebee (Chevrolet Camaro), Crosshairs (Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray), Drift (Mercedes-AMG GT R), Barricade (Ford Mustang police car), and Mohawk (Confederate Motorcycle). Unfortunately, Megatron and Hound weren't available. Images from last year's set visit in Detroit with additional vehicles can be seen here or you can view the ones on Paramount's lot here. In addition to the galleries below, we also have a video available on our YouTube channel.













Bay Films and IMAX HQ visit

Paramount surprised us further by taking us over to Bay Films in Santa Monica, CA, where Transformers Director Michael Bay visited with our group for the next 90 minutes, showing us things he was working on currently with The Last Knight. After dinner, we all headed over to IMAX Headquarters a few blocks away where Michael Bay showed us approximately 25 minutes of promotional footage that will be shown at Cinema Con. We had photos opps with him, a couple of beverages, and enjoyed our time visiting with him and the folks from Paramount and IMAX. Amazing experience! More on my thoughts about the footage at a later date.










Movie star handprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre

This gallery includes a random sampling of the signatures, handprints, and footprints of various movie stars outside of the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA. I tried to keep the gallery to ones I thought some of you might enjoy seeing (and then the ones my Mom requested)!

You guys look like you had a blast and Bay never stops looking like a chill individual!

I did like Transformers The Ride it was fun went there last year for our Family's Disney Vacation and Universal studios happened to be "nearby" (A few hours).

Hey Mr. Seibertron.com, how did you feel about the new footage that you got to see? Are you allowed to talk about it at all, or is there some kind of embargo on discussing it?
