We still have plenty of content to share with you from Hascon 2017, Rhode Island this past weekend! First up is a gallery and a walkaround video of the Transformers: The Last Knight section of the Transformers area at Hasbro from the event, featuring props from the movie, including Excalibur and other blades. Check out both below, and click on any image for the full gallery!
Celebrating the digital release of Transformers: The Last Knight, we have another behind the scenes clip from the fifth live-action movie directed by Michael Bay, featuring actor Stanley Tucci in his role as Merlin! Check it out below, courtesy of Comic Book Movie, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!
So I just finished watching the movie for the first time. It was bad. Like really bad. Even worse than I had been led to belive. It tall made ROTF look good.

Agreed. Yet Mr. Bay warned us right from the go. Explosions and humor. That actor shouldn't have different roles in the same movie series, I can't believe they did that.
To celebrate the Digital HD home release of Transformers: The Last Knight, which took place on 12 September, Paramount got in touch to share the various extras and exclusives scattered around the internet - with some of the clips (StonehengeTucci) already newsed, but all collected in one place here, you can browse through them at your convenience!
The full DVD and BluRay release of the movie will be 26 September, but the extras are available now featuring cast, crew, extras, actors, and stunts. Check them out!
In more Transformers: The Last Knight and Hascon news combined, we also have recordings of the major panels featuring the cast of the latest movie in Paramount's live-action universe for the Cybertronians - including producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and actors Mark Wahlberg, Isabela Moner, Peter Cullen, and Frank Welker, plus Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner.
The first Transformers The Last Knight panel, during the day on Saturday September 9th, 2017, starred Mark Wahlberg, Isabela Moner, Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and Executive Producer/Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner. The 2nd panel, held later that night during the Transformers VIP event, switched Brian Goldner with legendary Transformers voice actors Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) and Frank Welker (Megatron). We've collated both together in the clip below, as they discuss the cast, working with director Michael Bay, the choices and realities of working on a project this big, in this scale, and of this relevance to popular culture (despite final results, of course), and the importance and difficulty of creating sequels in a franchise. When Welker and Cullen take their place, on the other hand, we get some more insight into the dynamic between them as actors and their characters since the early stages of their career and a lot of voices seasoning the interview too. Check it out!

You mean how Stanley Tucci played Joshua Joyce last movie and Merlin in this one? They'd already done that before with Glenn Morshower playing Colonel Sharp (who got killed) in the first movie and then General Morshower in all the sequels minus AOE.

I've seen TV series do that. Jeffrey Combs played several roles in Deep Space Nine.
It's absolutely fine as long as you can pull them off convincingly and/or there's an in universe explanation. I had no idea, for instance, that Gwen Cooper in Torchwood was played by the same actress who played Gwenyth in Doctor Who Series 1. Despite the two being in the same universe, having the same very distinct accent, and having similar goddamn names.

Hehe. The doctor and rose actually comment on that when they see her in tge stilen earth. Or the following one, i forget it's name. Multi spatial duplicity or something. But yeah, i have no problems with it. Doctor who did it all the time. Karen gillian, freema agyman, even colin baker did it. And capaldi played three parts including the doctor and made a pli point of it.

Once even in the same episode
Those too! I will say though, it's very bizarre - but also very heartwarming now I know he was a huge fan of the series - to go back and watch Capaldi in Fires of Pompeii after 4 years of him as The Doctor.
Now, naturally, as I've said; this can be done convincingly - but other times not. So this begs the question since I haven't actually seen TLK; how different was this actor's new role and did he pull it off well enough that you didn't think he was the same guy?
In terms of appearance, they looked nothing alike. The performance, from what I remember, was also fairly distinct. I only knew it was the same actor because I found out beforehand.
He pulled it off. Merlin was drunk. Literally the entire time he's on screen. He voice, hi mannarisms, everything was different from his aoe performance. If i hadn't been told before hand, i woul never have known it was the same guy.
