After the US, with Chicago in particular, and China, it appears that Transformers will also come to the UK. According to a number of sources, including Screen Daily, Michael Bay and Paramount might be set to head to the UK for their casting and part of the shooting of the next instalment in the live-action movie series for the Transformers. Read more here and below!
a franchise first UK shoot could bring with it significant benefits in the shape of the UK tax credit should the production hit the minimum spend threshold.
Iceland also offers an enticing incentive for inward investment productions.
Some UK studio work on the film is a possibility, but the production is not yet booked into one of the major facilities, according to sources.
Paramount has its sights set on a summer shoot for the Michael Bay-directed film, having already announced a US release date of June 23, 2017.
The studio may also be lining up repeat visits to the UK, according to sources, with additional Transformers films due to be released in 2018 - a Bumblebee spinoff - and 2019.

Via Comic Book Resources, we learn that the Michigan Film and Digital Media Office has greenlit a deal with Paramount to film the next instalment in the live-action Transformers movie series, directed by Michael Bay. While we had heard rumours and casting about this previously, this is the first official confirmation - read more here and below!
Director Michael Bay’s “Transformers 5″ will shoot this summer in Detroit, the Michigan Film & Digital Media Office announced today.
The news comes as a result of a restructured incentive agreement with Paramount Pictures that will save the state $21 million.
The big-budget sequel is expected to inject $80 million into the Michigan economy and hire 850 cast and crew members, 450 of which will be state residents. In addition, about 700 extras will be needed.

If they are then there shouldn't be an option on the User Control Panel to change it. For a while I had mine changed to Dark Optimum Supreme, complete with an altered avatar image. I hope that wasn't against the rules, but given I changed it, and later changed it back, with a function that's just sitting there, waiting to be used, I assumed it was kosher.
Anyway, the part of the source article I found most interesting wasn't blurbed here.
Okay, yeah, I thought they'd stopped with the filming incentives, so wondered why they'd bring TF5 here, but that explains it.

The Michigan legislature eliminated the film office incentive program last summer, meaning the state can no longer into into new agreements. However, the Michigan Film & Digital Media Office was able to reallocate incentives from other approved Paramount projects into a single deal for “Transformers 5.”

Fellow Seibertronians, an article has surfaced, which announces that Transformers 5 is to be filmed, in part, at the Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac among several other locations across the state. The article may be viewed here, but can also be seen below.
Transformers 5, directed by Michael Bay and starring Mark Wahlberg and Peter Cullen, is expected to film in part at the Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac beginning this summer, along with several other locations across the state.
“They have filmed several Transformers productions (at the Michigan Motion Picture Studios) in the past, and I expect they would utilize some of the same locations,” says Jenell Leonard, commissioner of the Michigan Film and Digital Media Office, formerly the Michigan Film Office. “However, all production locations are tentative and fluid.”
Leonard says the film’s production will use Paramount Pictures’ last planned Michigan tax credit funds. She says even though the film tax incentive was cut last July, the state must honor existing deals with studios, like a multi-project agreement with Paramount.
She says Paramount offered to return half of a $42 million planned tax credit that was allotted for multiple films to the state. Doing so allowed the studio to allocate the other $21 million exclusively to Transformers 5.
“Paramount came to the table and said if they could apply half of their encumbered incentive dollars to Transformers, they would be willing to give the other half of the $21 million dollars back to the state,” Leonard says.
Michigan’s film tax credit program took the form of reimbursements awarded after filming was complete.
Leonard expects that production on Transformers 5 will start in the summer and will end in the fall. Transformers 5 will be the fourth film in the series shot in Michigan, joining the original 2007 film as well as Transformers: Dark of the Moon and last year’s Age of Extinction. In Age of Extinction, Paramount created a set in downtown Detroit on the site of the former Statler Hotel that was designed to look like Hong Kong.
Studios must prove they are spending their dollars in Michigan and hiring Michiganders in an independent audit conducted before filming, and be in regular communications with the Michigan Film and Digital Media Office.
Studios are required to hire Michigan residents and out-of-towners at a 1:1 ratio. Leonard says the Transformers 5 shoot will create around 228 full-time job equivalents.
“Studios submit a line-item budget with how many hires they would have and submit the script for review,“ Leonard says. “We base the incentive they would be eligible for off that application process.”

So am I the only one who wants to see Bruticus, Menasor, Defensor and Superion in the next film? Doesn't have to be all of them, maybe 1 on each side. I figured that with Bay's penchant for cars and the military, either Bruticus or Menasor would have shown up by now. They sure would have been easier to put on screen than that failed abortion we got in RoTF. And considering they were spearheading Hasbro's new toy lines, they need to have screen presence.

Fellow Seibertronians, courtesy of The Wrap we learn that actress Isabela Moner is being eyed for a lead role opposite Mark Wahlberg in Paramount’s “Transformers 5”. The article, which can be found here, is also quoted below, summarizes her acting credits, and the basis of her potential character in the movie. So what do you make of this choice - if it does indeed pan out? Let us know in the comments below.
Up-and-coming actress Isabela Moner is being eyed for a lead role opposite Mark Wahlberg in Paramount’s “Transformers 5”, an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.
Paramount did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Michael Bay is returning to direct the action-packed sequel, which boasts the involvement of executive producer Steven Spielberg as well as a litany of writers including Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman.
Moner is poised to play the young female lead of Izabella, a street-smart tomboy who grew up an orphan and was raised in foster care. She counts a small Transformer as her only friend… until she meets Wahlberg’s heroic inventor Cade Yeager.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto will produce “Transformers 5” with Hasbro, and Paramount will release the film on June 23, 2017. Production is slated to start this summer in Detroit.

Also, if the criteria for bad design is hair, that means Alpha Trion, Arcee, Wreck-gar, Scourge, and Unicron all have "terrible designs" as well.

And are we going to get more horrible designs like Drift, Brains and Hound with their'hair'?
Also TF 4 had the worst voice cast with Drift, Crosshairs, Brains and Lockdown .

In regards to the topic, however, I love the idea. And given how he actually PARODIED his habit of sexualization with Tessa, I'm sure it'll be fine. And even if he does sexualize her, at least it won't be as bad as Kiss Players.

This is nothing new people. I think going with a younger teen is more feasible given the cheesy dialogue at times. I'd rather hear it come from a real teenager's mouth than a 20-24-year-old pretending to be a teenager. Am I wrong? 
My only hope is that we finally see the death of Bumblebee in this movie. Please spare me all the comments about how popular a character he is and Hasbro will never... . We all know he is getting his own movie anyway...why not kill him off in this one and set a new movie sometime between 2 and 3 or 4 and 5? I loved Ironhide and he got the boot post haste. TF4 would have been better with Ironhide than bringing in Hound. I loved Hound's design and Goodman rocked it don't get me wrong.
Down with Bee has been my mantra for the last 3 films...hope it comes true. I will be boycotting Bee solo film as well.

Sorry, I think bee will be with us for some time yet, especially with him being the lead in RiD. As for his solo movie it may be a prequel the the first film, before he arrives on earth but at the same time I can see it being set between 5 & 6.

So true ZeroWolf...a man can dream though. A prequel to the first film would make the most sense. We could also see a solo film between 5 and 6 as you said. I'll still boycott. I like the RID representation, but it's nice to keep the animated and film universe as separate entities.

I agree with both of these points. I thought the "hair" was done well, and the voice acting was very good. They all did a good job, and Goodman and Watanabe were awesome. Loved them both

I hope Wheelie survived. I didn't mind him in RoTF, and there was no explanation for his disappearance. He was just gone after the pyramid scene. And why do we need a new teenager? Is Nicola Peltz still going to be cast?

Does the guy really need a second daughter? Hey, movie people, you realize you're making a movie about toys right? Howabout targeting your demographic by, you know, giving him A SON!? A tom boy isn't the same as a boy. Can't wait to see how they top the short shorts and trying to explain why the boyfriend wasn't a pedophile in the last movie.

To be fair the ages were only an issue because of where the film took place. Had it took place in the UK, there would if been no problem and no one would of batted an eyelid
