New Clips - Transformers: The Last Knight in Detroit and Luke Air Force Base, AZ

Barricade is a meme now XD "Keep calm and all hail Megatron"

Speaking of Megatron.....since he's in this...what's happened to Galvatron then?

A question that's been asked multiple times in this thread (yeah yeah, I know, you don't have time to go back and read all posts so unbunch your panties) and the simple answer is ... we most likely won't know until the movie is released.

In addition to getting a sneak peak at some of the massive sets and getting to meet Michael Bay himself, we got some personal time with some of the real stars of the movie ... the Transformers themselves! Each gallery below includes multiple shots of each vehicle that we got to see from the heroic Autobots Bumblebee, Drift, and Optimus Prime to the evil Decepticons Onslaught and Barricade! Click on an image below to view a gallery of that respective character's alt mode. Please note that each vehicle has its own unique gallery in our ongoing Transformers Movie related gallery section.

In case you missed it earlier this week, we also posted some walkaround videos of the vehicles on our YouTube channel, which you can view by clicking here.

Special thanks again and much appreciation to Paramount for orchestrating our set visit. What an amazing experience!

Bumblebee (6th generation Chevrolet Camaro mode) ... plus Hound makes a cameo appearance!


Barricade (Ford Mustang Police Car mode)


Drift (Mercedes-AMG GT R mode)


Optimus Prime (Western Star 5700 XE mode)


Onslaught (Western Star 4900SF Tow Truck mode)


Miscellaneous images (other vehicles and more)

If it wasn't already for the fact that the Combaticons in this don't appear to be combat vehicles....i would've half expected that Hummer to be Swindle, maybe one of the Apache Helicopters spotted to be Vortex ect, as for Onslaught....maybe he will during the course of the movie....scan a military vehicle of some sorts(we've already SEEN different vehicles ect scanned during the course of the previous films by various characters....Optimus, Bee, The Twins, Megatron, Soundwave & Lazerbeak).

"Keep calm and hail Megatron"

You unknowingly added a layer to this character that makes me question exactly where he was during ROTF. Now I know. He was getting into internet culture.

I hate it.

Pretty soon Barricade's going to be telling me to go vegan on Facebook.

Wait.

-He went missing around 2007-2009
-He's a Decepticon fanatic
-He laughs maniacally

Barricade was Sly all along

Really man?


The changes on Bee are always easy to spot why is everyone saying stuff like this I don't get it like what the heck.

Maybe because he really doesn't look that different from his "original" design? Jeez o peets dude, back off a little.

Bee from 07; note how similar Bee is once again to how he started in 2007.

Love the "Keep Calm and Hail Megatron" thing on Barricade's side. Now I want to get that on a T-shirt.

Onslaught looks good too, just doubt Bruticus will come out of his addition.

I think it was one shot deal and he took the name of Megatron back after he got his upgrades/new body. I know it's very interchangeable in the Unicron Trilogy from what I've heard and read, so maybe the same applies here in some ways for the Bayverse.

Like Burn said, we won't know until the movie, but that's kind of like my prediction of sorts. Saw someone suggest Megs would have apprehension to the Galvatron name in this case because it was the one granted to him by humans/KSI during his rebuild and not his idea. Simultaneously there appears to be not as much discontinuity between the names/personality in this canon like in G1 for example.

Oh...Mah...Gohd

Has anyone seen this?



(Was it ever confirmed that Barricade died in DotM? Could it have been some random generic Decepticon?)

I have a question about Barricade .
In the recent pics that were taken on the set the saying on his car mode is "Keep calm and hail Megatron".
But I noticed in all those pics and videos that were posted while they were filming in Arizona, it said his old saying "To Punish and Enslave". Was it changed and is there a reason why? I hope it has to do with the story and not anything to do with "recent events" in the news. Does anyone else have any insights, and opinions on this?

Because even Transformers love memes.

Worse. He'll be sharing David Wolfe posts with you.

Aye, there'll be a frenzy

I think he might be onto something. The old motto doesn't read too well, considering the recent events involving police shootings in the U.S., justified or not. They probably changed it to avoid a PR fiasco.

That... that does make a lot of sense actually. If that is the reason they changed it then kudos.

"Keep calm and hail Megatron"

I'm gonna quote LaBeef: "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO No NO NO NO nononono"

I'm so done with "keep calm and" BS. It's the Minions meme of tshirt slogans.

I'm on board with this change, the film is getting bad pr by virtue of just being a bay movie so they don't want more on top of that. Besides, so what if it's changed? Not like it defines him as a character.

A dark twist on "The Protect and Serve" was clever. The billionth take on "Keep Calm and Carry On" is beyond stale.

If I recall correctly, whatever events happen in the UK in the movie is what impacts this.

Well, that made things interesting

I think the next Movie toy line is going to the a crucial one - if they screw it up like they did AOE's (Especially in terms of product lines and distribution) then they might never get a second chance and any Movie characters - will have to just be shoved in with normal toys in a very haphazard way - if they expect to be able to farm Bumblebee Movie toys out to retails in a couple of years they really need to make sure they don't cause a glut of things in 2017 that puts them off ordering a whole line that is centric on Bee.

The Movie Franchise is perhaps never going to fly long term anyway with Hasbro except as a purely cyclical thing - because as soon as they stop making Movies - Hasbro is going to likely stop making Movie toys for good (bar the odd anniversary or premium item).. as it makes no sense to sell things that they then have to give money to Paramount for making as part of the licensing deal - not to mention there is the car licenses too.

This may even be the reason why they don't make a Movie Universe Cartoon - it would cost them more to do so as they be tripping over Paramount's share of the profits and their likeness rights too - as well as the afore mentioned car likeness rights as well.

I'm sure there is a way to make nice Movie toys - but lets be honest here even if they try really hard - they are still going to be be a gappy under painted disappointment next to ROTF toys.

Or to put it another way I now look back on DOTM as a "Quality line" - that is how bad it's got now.

Have you played with EMOP? The quality and engineering is as good as ever.

Looks like there will be some Knights in the movie, pics popping up on Facebook.

I can't wait.

Seibertronians IAmAWalkingCorpse and SlyTF1 have pointed us towards the Facebook page for the Staffin, Isle of Skye community, which is currently seeing the filming of parts of the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight movie - and it looks like the Arthurian rumours we heard a while back have a bit more support. Check out some of the images mirrored below!

The movie's going to be ridiculous...

Great, so now Michael Bay not only wants to ruin Transformers, but he now wants to ruin Arthurian legends (Tristan & Isolde represent!) as well.

This should be exciting! Kinda like "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court"!

Be little more specific you talking transformers animated, prime, energon, cybertron, generation one, beast wars, beast machines, robots in disguise, headmasters, victory force,

It looks like live action of generation one all we need is starscream to return for deception ride on top of him in jet mode and joust against autobot hound in truck reiactment of generation one cartoon episode,.

Glad bay doesn't make humans going on cybertron without space suits shown in generation one that be ridiculous

I'll go with besmirching the good names of Beast Wars, Animated, and...wow, Hasbro has really helped put out a lot of crap for media. Even BW and Animated have their lowlights. Best to just stick with the Hasbro philosophy: toys moneys matter; quality shows, movies, books, games, etc. not so much.

Transformer pretenders!

He is bumblebee!

It got jumped the moment Bumblebee pissed on a guy.

Megatron Wolf wrote:Better get that shark ready, cause its about to be jumped

So the previous film opening to the Dinosaur era wasnt shark jumping enough?

This. Shark equaled jump.

Execs: How do we make a new TF film?

Writers: fucking dinosaurs.

A human knight? What the hell is going on with this movie? This theme seems so darn confusing (and don't even give me the junk about the one episode in season 2 when they went back in time. You know Bay hasn't watched that stuff).

I swear it's almost getting to be like Bay was sitting up one night watching HBO and caught an episode of Game of Thrones and was like "You know what, swords and knights would be awesome with robots. And explosions."

I'm not even sure, from a movie stand point, if Transformers is even "TRANSFORMERS" anymore. I've completely lost the theme. I mean, in the movie verse, has it really been established why Autobots and Decpticons are actually fighting in the first place, and why they seem to continue to do so with the death of one of the army's leader, multiple times now? I mean, what are their motives anymore?

Ebonyleopard wrote:A human knight? What the hell is going on with this movie?

Yeah, it's almost as nonsensical as the primitive human hunter from ROTF, or the 1969 human astronauts from DOTM. Humans should totally stay out of flashbacks and backstory scenes that take place in the Earth's past!


(yes, Deadput, that was sarcasm, FYI)

Seibertronians, thanks to Seibertron Staff member xRotorStormx, we have lots of additional TF5 vehicle mode shots for you! While she was down at the Woodward Dream Cruise, she noticed some familiar faces...such as Hound (with his many, many bumper stickers), Bumblebee, the still-unknown rusty VW van, and Optimus Prime himself! Check out her photos down below, and then tell us in the comments: what do you think about the new alt-modes? Do you have a favorite? Who do you think that VW bus is? Speculate below!































And, as always, there's a lot of movie news coming, so keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com!

I like Ironhide's alt. mode. If the next toy isn't a POS, I might end up getting it.

Seibertronians, we fall back to the official TF5 Instagram again, where they've posted a quick look inside what appears to be everyone's favorite yellow autobot, Bumblebee! You can see this was taken while Bee was still in Detroit filming, because the alley in the background is remarkably similar to a set piece they posted just a few days ago. (Which is also mirrored below!) So check both photos out then tell us, what else can you make out of these photos? Is there any small detail we missed? Is the inside view even of Bumblebee? Is it Drift? Is it Hot Rod? What do you think?

Seibertronians, another one of tonight's TF5 stories is a small round up of all the photos from the official TF5 Instagram having to do with the military! It seems the cast has been training hard with the Navy Seals! Not only that, but they've been filming at the Luke Airforce base in Arizona! Does this potentially mean the return of Starscream? Or does it predict the appearance of the seekers!? Why is all the cast training with the seals? Just in preparations for the roles, or are they all involved in the military in the film? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Seibertronians, We've saved the best for last. Rounding out our night of TF5 coverage, we wanted to share with you the gigantic water stunt that the official The Last Knight Instagram posted. It is quite amazing to watch, and see just how real even these movie's productions can be. Check it out below, and tell us in the comments if you noticed anything we didn't! There's a lot of little detail in these types of videos, so anything could be accidentally (or non-accidentally) revealed!



And, as always, thank you for keeping your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and reviews!

Hound's bumper stickers are hilarious: "Gun control means using both hands."
