In other live action Transformers movie news, we have word from music composer Steve Jablonsky himself on Twitter, that he may indeed be back for the fifth time running, at least for the main score theme for The Last Knight! Check out the image he sent below, in which a folder with TF5 Themes Ideas is shown, and discuss the news in the Energon Pub.

I don't mind Jablonsky's music in the films. I actually like it for the most part, and it suits the films well enough I feel. So I hope he continues to do good with it as well continue to do the film's music composing.

Awesome, I love the scores he's done

Jablonsky's scores have always been amazing, particularly arrival to earth, Bumblebee, and Autobots reunite. I'd be really disappointed if he didn't return xD

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.

Oh come on now. That would be awesome.

That would be awesome. If we got to see some Combiner rip big ben out of the ground and hit another bot with it, we'll of checked off everything that needs to happen in a Transformers movie in Britain.

The Bayformer films may not be as good as they used to be, but Steve's scores are one of the best parts of them, and I'm glad he's still returning.

To be honest, Jablonsky is very creative with his music scores. There is no telling what euphonic masterpiece he has to offer.

Can't wait to hear the new soundtrack.

Via the UK branch of the Metro newspaper (or at least its online incarnation) we have a new interview with Transformers: The Last Knight cast member Mark Wahlberg, who plays the returning Cade Yeager, and drops hints as to what we might expect in the fifth Michael Bay movie with the Cybertronians - from the recent Nazi set dressing controversy to the rumoured mini-dinobots, to Anthony Hopkins' involvement. Check it out in the embedded clip below!

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, Mark admitted that by announcing there would be mini-dinobots in the upcoming sequel he had ‘already revealed too much’ but that fans should also expect ‘a few other surprises’.

The film currently has confirmed autobots, decepticons, mini-dinobots, King Arthur, Nazis – and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

The production art for the last movie had those Raptors in it (What Slash is based upon) so I would say it's seems quite possible the mini-Dinobots Mark describes are those Raptors.

Though I guess they could have expanded the idea and come up with some other sorts of smaller scale Dinobots too.

Mini-Dinobots=Slash from AOE?

Found this when I got up this morning.

They are really trying to tie a lot in on this film. I hope the writing is way better than it has been. Bay isn't exactly known for doing projects with a lot of depth.

Hmm...could it be the key to the Omega Lock :-?

Are you guys ready for some more explosions? UK news site mail online has images showing Michael Bay filming Transformers 5 at Stonehenge and blowing it up. Of course, the blown up Stonehenge is a lifesize replica. You can see the shots below. That same Stonehenge site/scene also features Anthony Hopkins addressing a large being who is not there (until they add it later). This confirms that he is not voicing a character but actually present in flesh and blood in the film. About Stonehenge, Transformerscars has posted a rumour that the historic site acts as a portal/keyhole in the film and the key is the Excalibur sword we previously saw Mark Wahlberg holding. Also, at the filming location of Wiltshire, Mark Walhberg and Laura Haddock were seen running in military outfits. Enjoy all the bombastic images below and let us know if ever you come across more movie news!

You, Chevy Chase!

Michael learned it by watching YOU!

'80s comedy sequels that destroy Stonehenge inspire '80s-toy-franchise-based movies that destroy Stonehenge.

The more you know.

Was there ever any doubt?

Also, since the picture brought it up, why does Michael Bay do those explosions that just look like fireworks? The one's with the spark trails? They just look cheap and very deliberately like a pyrotechnic stunt.

Considering the movies barrow mainly from G1 it's more likely Stonehenge is Vector Sigma and Excalibur is the key.

I've always wondered that too. There are other directors that use practical explosions that look like real, malicious explosives going off (as they should), but Bay's always look like fireworks.

Which is funny, considering the man we're dealing with, you'd think there would be nothing but giant gratuitous gasoline explosions.

Starting the week with a bang (as with most Michael Bay productions), we have a bit of a round-up of more Transformers: The Last Knight news from the past week or so that may have been missed between Stonehenge and Wahlberg interviews! Proceeding with order...

Between Tyrese Gibson, returning for the fifth movie, on Instagram and Mark Wahlberg on his own Twitter account, we have confirmation that the London portion of the filming is coming to an end, according to schedule - and they had a brief stop in Paris too.

Isabela Moner is clearly enjoying shooting this movie way too much, almost as much as the social media team who convinced Anthony Hopkins to play around with camera filters. I am not sure how to take this. It's mesmerizing.

Emma Lambert, a fellow Transformers fan, was able to visit the set in London during filming, and has provided extensive coverage on her Twitter and Instagram feeds of the various vehicles for Hot Rod, Barricade, Bumblebee and the red MacLaren doing vehicle things, and a confirmation of the name of the Transformers Reaction Force (the one with the lambda/triangle symbol we've been seeing for a while).

Another fan, Arun09345, has been following the filming too, and kept their Instagram feed updated with images and clips of cameras being used on the Thames, and some Tower Bridge scenes from London, plus a slightly spoilery scene run-through for something big emerging from the river. Check them out below!

That's all for now, we will keep the front page updated with more news as it comes in, so stay tuned to Seibertron.com - in the meantime feel free to discuss this news and more in the Energon Pub!

OK, that's kinda dumb. I was never a big fan of the whole Omega Lock thing.

This is, what, the fifth Cybertronian artifact to appear on our planet (and moon). Sure, they always have an explanation, but are we some sort of magnet for lost Cybertronian technology?

No, Optimus, you can't call your team the Reaction force! The fine bros will sue you!

Fourth. The Seed for AOE was a Cybertronian (kinda) relic that Lockdown sold to the humans in exchange for helping hunt down OP. But that is a good point. In TF:Prime, they actually had a good reason for all the relic appearing on Earth. Movieverse, while I find them more enjoyable than most do, doesn't actually have a reason why except coincidence.
