I've been thinking about this for a couple of days, and I somewhat agree with what randomhero said above. Posters are reprimanded if they speak inappropriately about one another, but I've not seen them reprimanded for doing so about a non-member (maybe that's all done by PM). Recently it's bothered me in the Megatoronia (sp?) thread and here. Anyway, I was thinking, 'man, that seems like a major over sight in the rules' but when you mentioned people overstepping the rules, I went and checked:

The staff are human too I don't think it's expected that they will all keep the rules perfectly strictly enforced 100% of the time.


Not an insult I'm just saying trying to keep the peace on a website is a difficult task when we are getting angry all the time.

Yeah, I'm sure I have no idea what that's like.

Anyway, it's bothered me quite a lot, so I felt I needed to say something, and have tried to do so respectfully.

If I remember correctly, there was some concept art of them from the last movie.

"Don't you think he looks tired?"

[superchook6909]

Poor taste or not, we will never know what the script is about, maybe due to the decepticons going back in time, they help the Nazi's in some way to conquer England, and the Autobots had to correct history.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Or, how about this:

it goes like a Clive Cussler novel, uniting 2 separate events strangely. There is something that happens in the era of king arthur and the knights, and then the nazis discover it somehow, and it ends up in the modern day as something of interest that drags the Transformers in, such as an ancient cybertronian relic or something, and the nazi-house thing is just supposed to symbolize a nazi headquarters or something and there is no time travel?

[OptimalOptimus2]

I wouldn't be surprised if Hitler had some Decepticons as allies during WWII. That's the only reason I would think the Nazis will play in this film.

[Apollo-XL5]

Not sure if he's up to something interesting or it's just a standard Bay excuse. This film gets weirder and weirder the more I think of it.

How is the film getting weird? I mean, if going by what everyone is saying, then the film will have the Transformers fighting across time with King Arthur against Hitler and the Nazis.

Well, I don't know what the guy who first came up with this was smoking at the time, but it is far more likely that the scenes with Arthur are probably flashbacks to his time to show us how he and Merlin are connected to the Macguffin that the Autobots and Decepticons are fighting over in this film.

Now, the Nazi scenes could either be an alternate time-line or just some castle that they have taken over somewhere in europe and showing how their events are connected to the film's plot.

I highly doubt we will see King Arthur punching Adolf Hitler (Captain America style) in this film.

The problem isn't the idea of Churchill's home in the movie being occupied by Nazis. I think it's a very weird tangent for this movie to go on considering we've already got knights in the mix; but whether it's a good story or not aside, that's fine. I don't mind and very few people would, a billion stories have done that sort of thing before.

The difference here between this movie and those thousands of stories that have done the same thing before it, is that they didn't literally use the real-life location. They used some other place, some other building. The problem isn't that nazis occupy Churchill's home in the movie, that's silly. The problem is that literally, at this very moment, there are Nazi flags physically hanging from what was the home of Churchill in real life. That's what people don't like.

This story is nothing new, just last year there was a similar incident just last year involving a film crew, a real life location and Nazi flags/banners in Nice, France.

Here is a link to the news story.

Well okay, I don't doubt it's happened before; but I don't really keep track of every occurrence of it happening. The point is that most people are wise and thoughtful enough not to do it.

As an Irish man I find the irony hilarious.

Sir Anthony, from Transformers on Facebook

https://www.facebook.com/transformersmo ... 650864247/

Looks like I was right about Bay being one of the greatest directors of all time. Certainly one of the best in today's era.

[Bronzewolf]

Seibertronians, it looks like Sir Anthony Hopkins, legendary actor and member of the Transformers 5 cast, has released a statement praising Michael Bay and the Transformers filming experience. In a video posted on the Transformers 5 Facebook page (available embeddee below), he calls it

...one of the best experiences (he's) had on a film...since Speilberg

and

Directors like...Bay...just say "Let's do it". I love that, because I'm like that

Good words like these good for the film are crucial, as the production has been swamped in controversy recently, with the disputed choice of draping Nazi flags on the birthplace of Winston Churchill. Watch the video below and tell us in the comments what you think! What character is Hopkins playing? King Aurthur? Merlin? Winston Churchill? What do you think of his final comments about how he'll be back? what do you think he'll reveal?

Seibertronians, it seems the Anthony Hopkins story was not the only piece of TF5 news today. Apparently the Last Knight cars made a return to London recently to take part in a small photoshoot and cruise through the Buckingham Palace grounds with a full motorcade! Check out some of the images and a video posted to the Transformers Movie Instagram below, but then see a full gallery on Comingsoon.net!

I highly doubt we will see King Arthur punching Adolf Hitler (Captain America style) in this film.

Unless...

Oh! I know how they'll make Churchill a hero in this movie! He'll be the one whose able to pull the sword from the stone and defeat the Nazis with Excalibur! In this movie, King Arthur will defeat Hitler because it will be revealed that Churchill is King Arthur!


I'm scared they might actually do this.

[Ravage XK]

I don't think they are actually allowed in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, that's just The Mall. Johnny English did that on a wheelchair

[Bronzewolf]

My point was that I believe they closed the mall down so they could drive through.

Oh, wait, I see what you're saying. They aren't the grounds to Buckingham Palace itself. Gotcha. Yeah, I knew that. Sorry, I misread your comment. I thought you were saying how it wasn't special they were driving through. I'll clairify in the story.


EDIT: Story changed! Thanks for pointing that out. Should have been more specific.

Oh come on now. That would be awesome.

[Stuartmaximus]

Ok why are they calling the red McLaren a lady?

Hmmm...well!....if that's the case....who could it be

[YRQRM0]

It would be sweet if it actually was an homage to Cybertron Override, as long as she still had some resemblance in robot mode.

[Va'al]

As with every Tuesday, the official Transformers Facebook page has shared a new clip from the live action movie universe, and it's directly from The Last Knight set that we get a new look at one of the behind the scenes machines that director Michael Bay is very keen on: the Baybuster, a stunt creating vehiclewe have heard about before. Check out the clip below!
