London Calling? Mandy.com has put out a casting call for the lead roles in Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers 4. The casting call is for the same female and male lead roles we reported earlier, but the location is listed as London. Looks like London may be in store for some "Bayhem"!

Because no movie has ever been filmed in London before. So interesting.

Potentially interesting to our friends who live in London, just like the DOTM filming in Chicago was interesting for those who live there. Also gives us a clue that part of the movie may take place in London.

I must've had this tab open for around an hour now...And I still can't quite get over how weird this seems...

(I live in the North of England...This is extremely tempting...! XD)

The only way I'm going to be excited for this is that if Matt Smith or any of the past Doctors that are living would act as a cameo.

Dammit, this is irrationally getting my hopes up that TF4's story might be based on something from the UK comics! Meaning that unlike the last 3 movies, which I didn't have any great expectations for going in, the final product here might actually hurt, even if it turns out to be the best one.

As much as I can't stand Bay or his movies abominations, I would LOVE a transforming London cab. (and a classic MG while we're at it)

Hmm. Will the Autobots have to go back to driving school? Or will there be another accident because bumblebee doesn't know which side of the road to drive on?

The London Eye transforms and goes for walk.
The Houses of Parliament are in fact Trypticon.

I would LOVE a Classic Mini to be a Transformer.

Does anyone remember this title sequence from a BBC politics programme:

The Houses of Parliament turned into a crocodile and tyrannised the UK.

Yes! I remember too! XD Thanks!

(I also remember it being quite scary...Only young when I first saw it! Haha)

Also...This reminds me of the London Bus 'Transformer' they did for Revenge of the Fallen...Fellow who won it is in the next-door city to me...

Okay now I wanna see two new bots come out of this movie; a Mini Cooper with the Union Jack decaled across the car like in Austin powers, and a jaguar with the same Union Jack decal. I would definatly buy those toys in a heartbeat.

That Mountain Dew Transformer from the first film was awesome (despite not getting a toy version). What do you think the chances are of getting a transforming Tardis this time around? Fans would be clamoring for a toy version of that! :-B

The Tardis spends most of its earthly time in Cardiff so the chances are slim but imaging the size of bot it could transform into, what with it being of pretty much unlimited size inside!

Provided the chameleon circuit is functioning the Tardis can transform into whatever it wants.

And depending on the model, could even take human form. >:oP

Yes! Always imagined a TARDIS-bot! ^^

Just reminded me; there was a 'British Avengers' poster that someone mocked up with the Doctor, Bond, Potter etc...So with that in mind, I definitely want an Aston Martin Autobot! Hehe ^^

I can imagine Quartermaster presenting it to 007:

Q: 'Here we are Bond. All the usual refinements; traction, torpedoes, stealth, missiles...But this, I'm most particularly proud of... (DBS transforms) ...A burst of what these fellows call 'Energon'...Try to bring him back in one piece.'
BOND: 'No promises, Q.'
Q: 'I was talking to the Autobot...!'

Isn't London to small for giant robots? Does prime fit in their streets? Last time I was there it was a bit narrow.

I hope they never film in The Netherlands, since it will be about weed and prostitutes.

HA! Yeah, Prime squeezing through some narrow streets. So long as he sticks to the main streets he should be fine.
