2 extra minutes sounds like that might cover credits for Chinese voice actors if they've dubbed the thing. I don't know if they dub or sub movies there. I wouldn't think it would take 2 mins to credit them for subs.

Between this film tracking for only $70M in its first 5 days, my lady buying me new kicks, feeding me breakfast in bed and treating me to Red Lobster tomorrow night, this is shaping up to being the best Father's Day weekend ever!

And im assuming that germany has similar laws to the US banning civilians from driving a car with the words "police" on it in the streets, so I doubt these cars were driven in. They even had the hoods up for display purposes so they were obviously towed in and parked with somebody's permission to attract business. Im calling fake on the whole police report thing. The cops were probably actors and towing the cars away was a big publicity stunt. Suprised you news guys believed this was a legit auto impounding. Cmon now...

'fraid it's real. Charges are listed, laws broken are listed, etc. and there's been nothing to the contrary. If this does indeed turn out to be confirmed as a big PR stunt, we'll post an updated story to reflect that - but right now, everything's saying this is real.

Should have linked the actual facebook post though. Editing!

Im still calling BS....

Even if thats the offical Facebook page of a particular German police department, a Facebook page is not a place for police to post pictures of actual "crime" photos no matter how funny the case might seem. It would have to be treated like any other regular case to avoid a potential lawsuit. I wouldnt rely on Facebook as an official format to find public records either. Can we get a case number from an offical German public records website ? Also if German laws are anything like American laws, you can put any type of modification on a car without fear of being "confiscated" as long as you dont actually drive it. Thats where we get the term "street legal". You see non-street legal cars being towed to car shows or race tracks all the time. The cars were parked with their hoods up for display. They can be ticketed for non-moving violations but will not be towed unless it is a parking violation. Among the humorous charges mentioned in the article, being illegally parked was not mentioned. Also among the four photos posted, not one of them has a police officer and the tow truck picture conveniently doesnt show the company name. And to make it even more ovious the cars are being carefully lifted on the tow truck by a crane. Such care isnt taken when you park illegally. Thats some expensive equipment surely used to transport showcars to specific locations. Here's my take on it: Some bored cop who happens to be a TF fan started taking pictures on duty and posted a humorous story on the departments Facebook page to have some fun. Real pictures, fake news...

I am more and more baffled by the type of cast going into these projects.

Whats cool about this is that it means Hot Rod's French accent will actually be real and not someone's idea of a french accent.

These Transformers films are quite intensive for Mark Wahlberg. With him having to train 5 months for this film, and this rumoured to be the final Transformers film from Michael Bay, it doesn't come as quite a shock that he has stated it would be his last one. He said so on the Graham Norton show and states that with these films behind him he can get his life back. This was pulled from a recount of the interview by Digital Spy.

Drift and Dino had real accents.

It is! Which is why we set up a spoiler thread for those who may have read spoilers and want to discuss it before the more major worldwide release.

An official distribution notice sent to Chinese exhibitors was released online Thursday showing a running time of 150 minutes for the film — two minutes more than the 148-minute version playing in the rest of the world. It’s unclear what the extra two minutes in the Chinese version includes.

Btw wasn't the IMAX version for at least one of the films(could've been for more than one...not sure?) a couple of mins longer than the standard theatrical release?

but...meh...we'll prob see those mins turn up in the extras section of the Blu Ray anyway

So with the voice cast now been officially announced(i'm sure the news staff will be putting up info about that shortly) it seems more name changes are afoot(after Hooligan/Dreadbot) now Wreck-Gar is called Daytrader & god knows who or what Volleybot is?

Yes, for the first two movies. Though, the first movie's extra IMAX footage never got released on DVD or Blu-Ray.

Michael Bay has posted some new images on his website, along with some that we have seen before. Some of the most notable in this set are Bumblebee getting in a fight and closeup of him interacting with some of the human cast. We have posted them down below for your viewing pleasure.

Fellow Seibertronians Black Hat and Clockwork Animations have dropped us a line about a new clip for Transformers: The Last Knight - initially via Instagram, then uploaded to YouTube, and therefore embedded below! Check out some very potentially spoiler-y footage below, with some Hound, Crosshairs, Cogman, Nitro Zeus and Megatron action.

Speaking of Transformers: The Last Knight news, the global premiere - if you don't count China, apparently - is currently underway in London, UK, and the official Twitter account for the movie is livestreaming it! At the time of writing, Director Michael Bay is being interviewed. Check it out below!

Hopefully they got Marky Mark to sing "The Touch" before he was done.

Yes it is and it would explain why it seems that only Nitro and Megatron are at the final battle

Cannot wait for the movie! Most likely going to see it in IMAX 3D on Tuesday night too!

The images feature the cast, including Michael Bay, Laura Haddock, Isabela Moner, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Jerrod Carmichael, Freya the Dog, Josh Duhamel, plus of course, Sqweeks, Hound, Hot Rod, Drift and Optimus Prime.

I think it's being billed that way because it's Bay's last movie.

... is what I'd say if I wasn't cynical as heck and they just want it to sound EVEN MORE EPIC AND IMPORTANT

Mon Jun 19, 2017 5:23 am

But they used this "The Final Chapter" thing already... Twice. Bay is leaving Transformers since 2011, why we should take this now seriously.

Right now, I'm waiting for another "Michael Bay changed his mind" news. I wonder what can it be this time :-?

After 10 years, Transformers without Micheal Bay sounds almost too good to be true. Even if we are watining for a better director since before first movie was relased.
