In this set of pictures, we get to see several military vehicles, including a Mercedes Benz medical military vehicle which has some interesting bumper stickers on it such as "gun control means using both hands", some government looking Suburbans which have a symbol on the driver side door that looks like an upside down roman numeral 5 "V" used in one of the logos for TF5 (or it could just be a symbol and I'm reading too much into its usage), a damaged version of one of those Suburbans as well as some other damaged vehicles on a flatbed, Michael Bay's filming vehicle (the Porsche Cayenne if I recall correctly), a humvee (?), and some other vehicles.
How these vehicles will be used in the movie and whether or not any of them are an actual Transformers character remains to be seen.
Apparently this was the last day of TF5 filming in Phoenix. From here, the movie production is moving to Flagstaff, Arizona. Hopefully someone will be able to send us some additional content from there.
Special thanks again to our friend marvel-junky for sending these photos to Seibertron.com for us to share with all of you.

Oh yeah, and Hasbro? Give us a leader class figure to go along with Prime.

This was just one shooting location and hence likely just one or two scenes where they were doing some sort of car chase or escort or the like. Other scenes will more than likely have other vehicles.

Anyway...
The upside down "V" means ally forces in the military. Now, I'm guessing that the crew was filming a part of a chase scene with some action, and to get some good visuals as well. Nothing but the usual

Keep in mind that the military stuff is often more CGI than practical in action scenes - they weren't flying an F-22 Raptor into cities for Starscream's scenes in the TF 1-3 shoots!TurboMMaster wrote:I think too much cars, not enough not cars. Where are tanks and planes?
(That said, the amount of military vehicles does seem to have slowly decreased as the series has gone on, so wouldn't be too surprising if TF5 is mostly street legal.)

The first set of news comes from a tweet written by Mitch Pileggi, whom stated that he had filmed Transformers with Michael Bay recently. He was not willing to tell us what part he played in the filming, and the context of his tweet suggests his part is already done. You can see his tweet mirrored below. Pileggi is best known for his role as Walter Skinner in The X-Files.
Had the extreme pleasure of working on the new Transformers movie with @michaelbay. It's fascinating watching this cat work.
The second set of news regards another image from filming, but this time it appears that the Decepticon drone fighters seen in both Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction may be making another appearance. The images were captured by the transformers_contributions and posted on their Instagram page. Check out the images below, along with a comparison shot from the previous movies:

(WJBK) - The Transformers are returning to Detroit this summer. The next movie in the Transformers franchise is being filmed partly in Detroit -- and the crew is looking for some local flare.
They have an open casting call for extras. Maryellen Aviano joined us in studio to tell us more about the casting call. You can watch the interview in the video player above, or get the details below.
She says those who are interested should email transformers5extras@gmail.com. Things to include in the email are a recent photograph of yourself and your stats (height, contact info, schedule, etc.) She said most extras will be for those 18 and older, but there may be some spots available for 16-18 year olds.
Extras needed for 'Transformers 5' filming in Detroit
The crew is fresh off filming in the Arizona desert, and will be in Detroit for the next eight weeks. That's the longest they'll be filming at any location for the movie.
"We're trying to hire as many local people in every capacity that we can," Aviano said. "[Director] Michael Bay loves Detroit and loves the iconic landmarks and the architecture."
She said Mark Wahlberg and Josh Duhmel are back for the film, as well as Anthony Hopkins.
"It's just going to be a really great time while we're here," she said.
The fifth installment in the franchise is reportedly titled "Transformers: The Last Knight." IMDB says it's due out in June of 2017.

The Transformers Twitter page posted a behind-the-scenes 15 second video, and within that video Mark Walhberg is shown taking a nap with Micheal bay impatiently waiting for him to wake up. But as the camera man passes by Bay, an interesting exchange takes place, where the man behind the camera says:
"Hey Bay, I got Squeaks"
and Bay responds:
"Hey, Squeaks. Wait for Mark Wahlberg to wake up."
As the rumor stated last week, there is a new character with the name "Squeaks" so is this confirmation of this part of the rumor?

An array of giant metallic contraptions have landed at the long-vacant Packard Plant as preparations are being made for the filming of the next "Transformers" movie.
Among the crumbling concrete of the sprawling former Detroit automotive plant, scenes for the fifth Transformers movie, staring Mark Wahlberg, are beginning to take shape.
Two Chicago Transit Authority trains are positioned as if they careened off their artificial rail lines, and giant gears and machinery lie in pieces around the set.

Also there goes the theory on those being code names for familiar characters like they did in the previous movies.
EDIT: Oh Crap! It's T-Bob! M.A.S.K. crossover confirmed! (Not really.)

Ahh that's cool. I think it's pretty awesome that they actually made a model for this guy instead of entirely CGI. Looks like they used real Vespa parts too.

Remember, the original "Megatron Will Return" message was from a different image of a Decepticon symbol with glowing red eyes.

Paint, probably, Optimus has it as well.
Anyway, I took a second and adjusted the brightness on the image. Pretty interesting round head, almost G1 shaped.

Second-off, I feel sorry for the people who have to make toys of this thing. It's going to be just like the Arcee triplets.

Unicron is the worst thing they could do especially since he is a one dimension character from the start Unicron should be one of the last villains because they do him now what are they going to do next?
