Report alien activity" Along with a mugshot of Bumblebee. Wish I had gotten a picture but I didn't notice it until we were nearly past it.

And they still can't fix Bee's voice.
Anyways guess this means this dude I was talking too a couple weeks ago was correct on some things. (The voice thing was one of those things)
Another thing was Simmons and one of the bots from DOTM playing soccer in Cuba he did not say who but it's either Sideswipe, Dino, Roadbuster or Topspin all I know is that it's not Wheelie but a normal sized Autobot
He made posts on the TFW2005 board but all of his posts have been deleted and I think he might have been banned too.

Thats awesome, I made a news item pointing that out and gave you your first news credit

Have you seen the whole movie yet?
We don't know if Bee gets his voice back but we don't know that he doesn't either he could easily get his voice back at the end of the film.
I mean this spot does show their trying to fix it so they probably try it again and succeed.

Dark of the Moon, 2 hours and 37 minutes,
Age of Extinction, 2 hours and 45 minutes,
Revenge of the Fallen, 2 hours and 30 minutes,
or even the very first one, 2 hours and 24 minutes.
For me, it is understandable since there is a lot to be covered in the movie. However, I have seen that many people aren't excited to see 3 hours of "Bayhem." Whatever the case is, I think Michael Bay is going to overwhelm us with three hours of action, dialogue, and pointless explosions. But it will be satisfying to see all the characters back again.
What are your thoughts?

That 3 hours and 2 minutes run time is false since these movies are constantly edited until close to release in fact AOE wasn't finished until a few hours before the premier and I heard ROTF also was cutting it close.
Also nobody's released the time so don't believe any run times until a week before the movie comes out.

What if Bee and Prime combine? Will they do it?
Apparently, that TRU image of Prime has enough yellow to convince people that it is possible. Thoughts on this?

It's just lighting and the same fan mentality that makes people think Unicron is in the next movie.

The original source is random google search saying so and people spreading it around like it's fact.

Bay wrote:Reports of #transformers The Last Knight being over 3hrs is wrong. It's shorter than the last 3 movies by a lot.
Speculation from a number of sites not trying to catch the headlines, such as Cineworld and Screenrant, seems to suggest something closer to 2.30 hours, but we will be sure to update you as soon as we know!

My local theater has one as well, they put it up last week. I didn't think to mention it, because I figured if my little hole-in-the-wall theater has one, they must be everywhere. Who knew.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Thanks to EvasionModeBumblebee, we have a new and interesting addition to the Transformer: The Last Knight marketing. It appears that come theaters, such as this one in California, are featuring cardboard cutout 3D and LED lit models of Optimus Prime! The cutout has Prime kneeling with his sword, while his eyes glow brightly. Check out the image below, and keep an eye out at your own theaters to see if this Prime makes his way there!

SlyTF1 wrote:Damnit. I just saw the Tweet. There goes my dream of a 4 hour Transformers movie. It makes sense from a marketing perspective though. Shorter run time means more screenings per day, and that means more money. I worked at a movie theater when AOE came out and it was so long, we only had time to show it 3 times a day.
Were more likely to see a directors cut for previous Transformers movies then a 4 hour one.
But this probably means they trimmed down some of the more garbage human scenes and they just have the important human scenes and the Transformers ones.

Rent, Buy or Share with Enterprise and the New Movie, Transformers: The Last Knight, from Director Michael BayBrand Creates Nostalgic Digital Video Tribute to 10-year Anniversary of Film Franchise Roots, in Celebration of June 21 Theatrical Release
ST. LOUIS June 1, 2017 -- Get ready to roll out: The Autobots and the 'auto rental bots' are joining forces to move us all forward!
Enterprise Rent-A-Car today announced a partnership with Paramount Pictures on the highly anticipated release of the new movie, Transformers: The Last Knight, directed by Michael Bay, in theaters June 21. Through the partnership, Enterprise is producing custom movie-themed digital content and promotion in branches throughout the country.
'While many may know Enterprise as simply a car rental company, we've done some evolving over the years to offer customers much more. Whether you're looking to rent, buy or share a vehicle, Enterprise has you covered,' said Lee Broughton, vice president, Enterprise Brand Marketing. That brand promise, coupled with our new content strategy focused on helping our customers pursue their passions led us to teaming up with Transformers: The Last Knight.
As part of the campaign, Enterprise has created a nostalgic video throwback to Hasbro's Transformers toy television commercials from the 1980s. The video shows two kids using their Autobot action figures to fend off the evil Decepticons, with some added assistance from Enterprise's rent, buy and share offerings. In one scene, as an Enterprise rental car helps take down the Decepticons, one of the children can be heard asking, 'How ya like that customer service, Megatron?'
In addition to the video, Enterprise customers will also notice movie-themed signage inside Enterprise branches through June.
'Enterprise has found a clever and creative way to remind Transformers fans of the toy heritage of the movie franchise while introducing their expanded brand offerings,' said LeeAnne Stables, president worldwide marketing partnerships and licensing for Paramount Pictures. 'This is a great way for us to reach summer travelers and ramp up excitement for the new film.'

I could only find 2 IMAX theaters in the city, so I'm guessing it's one of those.

I figured it was a callback to the "Protect" and "Destroy" covers of the original movie's DVD release. But if Optimus is "Destroy" this time around, who is "Protect?" Could my suspicions be proven correct and Megatron is actually a sort-of good guy in TLK? Probably not...

Also same question applies to TFs like Drift and RotF Bludgeon who resemble samurais. Did they have it first or the humans?

Granted, you can only find the opaque white version on Ebay now, but one would need to find some more Glyos tentacles to tack on anyway, and you'd want to customize that rather than any of the other, far scarcer versions.
Eh, since none of her faces look right, I guess she's more of a generic female Quint than a queen...I'm just saying that until we get an official Quintessa, she's the best we've got.
