Also there's like, a two-buck theater right near me.

I'll probably go see it in theaters too, I missed DOTM and AOE (still haven't seen AOE actually..) and it'd be great to see Transformers on the big screen. Actually.. has the 1986 movie ever been played in theaters?

Yes. In 1986.

Oh. I thought it was a TV movie.

Reviews will still give me a good idea of what the movie is like without outright spoiling it (mostly). I also have friends with similar tastes who will go see it in theaters when it comes out. Both of those would give me a better idea of weather or not I'd want to shell out some money to go to a theater and see it than if I were to just outright refuse to see it, which was going to be my original plan. But I figure I should at least consider it. Besides, there seems to be a pattern forming with these movies. First one was alright, second one was garbage, third one was great, fourth one was crap, so if the pattern holds true then maybe the fifth one will be good (depending on how easy it will be to ignore Squeeks).

However, knowing that Barricade is in this next movie stirs my interest in wanting to see it a bit. I loved Barricade in the first movie and thought he'd be gone for good after the 3rd one. I'm glad that I appear to have been wrong. Of course he could just do the same thing that Blackout did and change his name to something like Stockade before getting killed by Murder Prime.

Another of the travelling cast, not currently based in the US, of Transformers: The Last Knight, has arrived in Detroit where Michael Bay and crew are currently shooting: Laura Haddock! As we saw here, she still appears pretty stoked to be a part of all this - check out the images from Michael Bay's official website and her own Twitter account too below.

That is just completely adorable

... but it says a lot about me when the first thing I notice is they have TFP decorates at a birthday party on a TLK set

Oh Good! I hope Laura Haddock and Mark Walhberg's Character get together. Being a dad with his daughter and boyfriend is fun and all, but I think the main Human hero should get the girl (not his daughter) this time. :-D

Yes because if there's one thing there's a dearth of in Hollywood movies, it's romance subplots. :roll:

That's why the father-daughter dynamic was my favorite element of the last movie. The hero had nobler intentions than just trying to impress/screw a hot chick, like we saw in the first three movies.

Courtesy of fellow Seibertronian and Twincast Podcast member megatronus, we have some images of the Transformers The Last Knight billboard that went up earlier this afternoon in Times Square. This billboard of the upcoming film from Paramount, features Optimus Prime, brandishing his sword, and facing off against 3 monstrous looking creatures. A tattered Decepticon flag is in the background along with some various structures or towers. The billboard is located at 1196 6th Ave (cross street is 47th St) in midtown Manhattan, close to Times Square. Share your thoughts about this billboard and Transformers 5 The Last Knight on our Energon Pub forums.

What are those things that Prime's fighting?

News Credits: 3 · by **Decepticon Stryker** » Wed Jul 13, 2016 1:20 pm

It looks like he's fighting a completely robotic King Ghidorah.

That Decepticon symbol is a little off. It's got a big V on it. Or is that 5?

News Credits: 3597 · by **Seibertron** » Wed Jul 13, 2016 1:28 pm

All of these V or 5 references keep me thinking ... QUINTESSONS! QUINTESSONS! QUINTESSONS! QUINTESSONS! QUINTESSONS!

I think it looks like a swarm of scraplets. Maybe they're fans of Godzilla just trying to cosplay their favorite monster? :lol:

Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:That Decepticon symbol is a little off. It's got a big V on it. Or is that 5?

That's definitely a V. Could just be there as the roman numeral for 5 or maybe for Victory? I don't see them using any Victory-era Decepticons but maybe there was an Autobot-Decepticon war wherever Optimus is and the Decepticons won.

I guess Prime is King George now.

My first thought exactly 8-)

It looks like he's battling a hydra or some sort of dragon.

so why does the bald guy with the white shirt look like such an unhappy jerk...have some fun man...you are getting paid to be on the set of this film.

News Credits: 23 · by **Madeus Prime** » Wed Jul 13, 2016 2:39 pm

Maybe the Creator's homeworld AKA Quintessa? And those are Bay's answer to Allicons and/or Sharkticons?

Maybe the kid on the right cracked a really stupid pun and the photo caught his reaction. You don't know the context of the moment.

True but he's in a another photo, not looking to happy either.

They've been using that V for a while now. We've seen it with Optimus Prime's head, the new Transformers title logo replaces the A with an upside down V, and whatever the new Earth military team is uses an upside down V. That Decepticon symbol could just be another movie logo and not something actually from the movie. They're really pushing the whole 5/V thing.

Based on Age of Extinction it does seem likely that the Quintesson will be a part of this movie.
