Transformers 5 star Isabela Moner continued her series of behind the scenes videos from the TLK set! In this fourth installment, she gives us some great shots of the Bumblebee, Hound, and Hot Rod vehicles from The Last Knight, as well as some details on what they happened to be filming that day, which appears to be the scene where Hot Rod turns from his Citroen alternate mode to his current Lamborghini Centenario (accidentally referred to as a Maserati in the video) vehicle mode! Check out the full video below and stay tuned for a potential part five in these days leading up to the premier!

There may have been a new reveal as to what new track will be the New Divide-ing Battle Cry (geddit?) for Transformers: The Last Knight, courtesy of the official website and its new 'Ride or Die' character quiz. Let's take it with order: Bumblebee appears as you load it up with “Cake by the Ocean” by DNCE snipped in the background.

You are then prompted to answer five multiple choice questions, with musical cutscenes between loading screens, leading to the final result.

Depending on the character, you'll be given a Spotify link with a playlist tailored to Bumblebee, Izabella, Cade, Viviane, Megatron, and Optimus Prime.

While the playlist tracks obviously differ, the one constant appears to be “Torches” by X Ambassadors. Though we know Celldweller i taking part in the movie soundtrack too, we have yet to have confirmation on any new track for the movie other than the snippets heard in trailers! So, is this one it? Take a listen, and let us know in the Energon Pub!

Funny, I would have thought Imagine dragon's would have another song prepped for The Last Knight, I like this though, a nice detour from the usual Title tracks

I mean, you'd think the older generations would like machine parts more. Guess it's nostalgia getting the best of people. And I guess I'm starting to convert to the Bayverse robits cult.

What age range are we talking about when saying 'older generations'? I'm 38 in August and the movie stuff is my fave and as I've said before, provides the complexity and general real-world approach to the design and transformations I have always wanted since I was happily buying the Marvel UK comics as a kid and getting Transformers toys as presents.

I heard the song last night. I'm not sure if I like it. This is the first time I've been let down for the theme song to one of these movies.

Paramount uploaded an hd version of a spot that previously was only available in recorded low quality the spot is called "Big League".

It shows the "Wreck-Gar" character in hd and I can't unsee his torso being a topless fat guy with the "belly button?" and other "things'.

What kind of "hat" is he wearing?

Are we sure that 'Wreck-gar' isn't just Hound?

I'm HIGHLY OFFENDED that I wasn't invited to the Transformers 10 year celebration in China today! I stood behind this franchise for years! I was one of the main pioneers of this whole movement! I was in the trenches when people said these movies wouldn't amount to ****! When they said these movies don't deserve to be lauded and praised to the highest regard! I was there! I endured the death threats when I said these movies are the greatest movies of all time; the greatest form of media to ever graze the face of the Earth! I told people hundreds and hundreds of years ago this franchise would do great things and nobody believed me! The disrespect is BLATANT! Very sad!

He's not but until his official name is confirmed I'm just referring to him as "Wreck-Gar" hence the " " just like how the old tank at Hopkin's castle is being referred to as "Bulldog" because that's the word on the side of the tank.

Besides having "Beards" that don't even look the same he looks nothing like Hound in fact in the Ellen clip which seems to take place before this scene Hound is shown in his TLK body.

This guy has a completely different voice, different hands, a different "hat" and is quite a bit shorter too plus the guy was complaining about them always fighting and Hound is the opposite of that.

Also some dude I've been talking to told me the guy is a different character from Hound among other more "spoilery" things.

Regarding not Hound-Gar I heard an interesting idea and decided to do some quick research so most of you know that Hound had a G1 counterpart right?

Well he had a repaint back in 2004 as an E-Hobby exclusive named Detritus http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Detritus_(G1)

Detritus is a Junkion much like Wreck-Gar and is a mercenary who would work with both Autobots and Decepticons making him some what of a neutral and although this guy seems to be a pacifist unlike Detritus it still might make him a neutral.

Oh huh, didn't think of Detritus. That's pretty interesting, and if not intentional it's a pretty awesome coincidence.

While their not much like their G1 counterparts we got obscure names with The Fallen, Crosshairs, Barricade, Blackout and Grindor and that's just remembering from the top of my head.

I can totally see these films using even more obscure names since this film is seemingly trying to be all lore heavy with Transformers.

With the exception of The Fallen - which admittedly was pretty surprising - I'm pretty sure those names were just chosen because they figured they fit the characters rather than them knowing those names had previously just been supplied. More than likely they were just on a list of names Hasbro still had copyrighted and said could be used.

Still, never know - if this was intentional and there's some huge TF nerd working on this movie, that'd be pretty awesome

Yes I agree the names were random but they were still used is what I meant.

I can't believe people have seen the movie already. I spent the past 3 years of my life looking forward to this moment, and to know that it's actually real and it's already been seen by a bunch of people is surreal.

Has it been too long since you've seen Age of Extinction? Need a crash course before you walk in to The Last Knight? Just want to see it one more time? Have you seen it too many times? Well I can't help you there BUT for all those other situations, let me point you toward a deal that RedBox is currently putting on: If you rent AOE, you'll get a code via email for $5 dollars off your TLK movie ticket!

This deal comes to us from Seibertron himself, who provided a photo of the Redbox, featuring posters for the discount and everything!

Even though I already have like, 5 versions of the movie, I'm about to go Redbox it right now just to support it.
