Cybertron 21 has posted shots of vehicles for the Transformers Rise of the Beasts film arriving in Peru. Shooting is still happening in Montreal for now but it will quickly make its way to Peru and everything must be ready. The vehicles pictured seem to be part of the Terrorcon group. This group is headed by Scourge and it seems the black truck is his alt mode, as suspected by those who saw the initial art when the film was first revealed to journalists.
This might mean that while a chunk of the film's plot takes place in Brooklyn, clashes with Scourge (at least in alt mode) won't happen until the Autobots arrive in Peru. This is all just speculation though.

The Terracons just might be the saving grace of this movie for me. So far what I have heard just doesn't seem good but the Terracons are sounding great. I can not wait to get SS (or its own advanced toy line) figures of the Terracons. I wonder if they will retool DotM Megatron to make Scourge?

Assuming that the black truck is Scourge, he is a beast in vehicle mode. Armored cab windows? Hell yeah!

Looks a little bit like a mix of DOTM Megatron and Mad Max

I wonder if this Scourge will be some kind of "Nemesis Prime", or will he have a unique body and face? :-?

Back when certain fans were invited to the filming site, Ben Yee described Scourge's robot mode as resembling a cross between Cybertron Scourge and Prime Predaking, but also with smokestacks.

So, will he be a triple-changer? Truck->Bot->Dragon?
If it is, this would be EPIC! Especially if they manage to successfully recreate him in toy form. Most likely as a Studio Series leader. 8-)

Unless it's just a dragon-like robot mode.

Or maybe... This just hit me! Maybe me has no true robot mode. Maybe he's literally a truck-to-dragon vehicle-to-beast former, with his dragon mode being his animalistic robot mode, kinda like Sky Lynx only without splitting in half (so like CW Sky Lynx without a torso mode).

Maybe that's what separates the Terrorcons from the Predacons. Instead of beast-to-robots, maybe they're all vehicle-to-beasts.

Someone mentioned a flame beard on him, and it's hard to imagine a dragon with a beard

Wow! Talk about entitlement, your generation also brought us Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, etc. Just because you're here, doesn't mean you have taste Case in point, your favourite are the prequels? Your opinion of the Star Wars speaks volumes

"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it.."

I LOL-ed so frikkin hard at this

I'm willing to bet, and the toy sales clearly show it too, that a significantly higher number of fans came in thanks to movies than left. And if they left, they were gone for a decade already, having gone to sleep around 1992, woke up at movie news, saw it, hated it, and then went back to sleep for hopefully 15 more years. New far outweighed old, and if the continuously running classics/generations line, and WFC sales are an indicator, they are still there too.

Prequels were awesome, and after the sequels came out, they were appreciated a hell of a lot more, especially with Clone Wars. Those were good.

Your generation gave us hair bands, mullets, and Quiet Riot. No bueno.

The irony of the intelligence comment too, when you were literally, very quickly, and decisively proven wrong.

Movies sell. Movies have their fans. I am excited for this one, and I am excited for this one as i have been for the previous 6. I have enjoyed them all to some extent, and Dark of the Moon remains the best TF movie, period.

And Scourge remains the most anticipated thing from what we know about this movie already right now.

This the worst take of all right here.

Personally I don't understand how people can be down on hair bands. Guns N Roses. Bon Jovi. Van Halen. Aerosmith. Whitesnake. KISS. Night Ranger. Damn Yankees. Styx. REO Speedwagon.

....Quiet Riot... :HEADHURTS:

Now mullets...I freely admit those were a mistake, but hockey players still use them and I am NOT going to argue with guys with razor blades strapped to their feet and sticks who have no problem hitting each other at 30 mph or intentionally jumping in front of a hardened rubber object traveling 130 mph and occasionally....

Given that he is meant to resemble both Cybertron Scourge and Prime Predaking, I'd be willing to bet that there's a dragon mode.

I'm not sure they mean actual "dragon" when they talk about him. I'm wondering if what they mean is that the robot mode is more like Predaking's bot mode with the wide wingspan...similar to the original Scourge. Maybe a flight mode but not a dragon, unless he is one of the Predacons...

He's a Terrorcon, who are the main-villain fifth faction in a movie that also has Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, and Predacons.

You know, that actually worries me. Five factions? We're not going to get much character development with that many factions...just not enough screen time.

I'm almost certain you guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment. The comparisons to the beast scourge were only in robot mode. The only info out there is that he is a truck. The terrorcons are all vehicles so far.

I’m trying to stay excited for this film because I love Beast Wars, and I felt that Bumblebee was a huge step in the right direction. That said, the more details I hear about this movie the more skeptical I become

From what I've been able to gather, the Decepticons are very likely only in a small role in the film, my out of the blue guess based off of Nightbird being a Decepticon defector turned Terrocon, she's with a group that gets wiped out except her due to switching sides.

That's only my prediction though based on the hinted smaller presence Decepticons have here.

I'm also thinking that the Predacons are likely not main antagonists either and are only in conflict with the Maximals.

Yeah, both the Deceoticons and Predacons are bound to have smaller roles since they didn't even name a single one if those when going through the main players in the film.

The movie is called "RISE of the Beasts", meaning this may be just the beginning of a new ark of movies. For those we may see more

So, this just popped up on Instagram. It is, allegedly, a list of CG model batch codes for the Predacons to be featured in the film.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CS5v5__szzl/

HOWEVER, the inclusion of one particular character's name in this list leads me and others to suspect that it might be fake, as it's a character who was only first created very recently as a non-toy character, and would be weird to be added to this movie so close to their initial conception when they've barely done anything so far in their entire fictional existence.

To say nothing of the fact that the very first name on this list is also misspelled, when other, more complicated names on the list (one of which people have been casually misspelling for years) are spelled correctly.

A big problem for several fans in the live action films is how the Transformers are often times secondary characters in their own movies, with many human characters. While this is due to how costly the effects are, along with the POV style of shooting/mayhem Michael Bay deliberately chose for his films, the point still stands. The upcoming Transformers: Rise of the Beasts film seems to deviate from this, at least for the scenes shot in Peru. The Peruvian news site RPP reported documents detailing the 120 cast and crew members that will be on site for the filming in September and out of that list only 2 are actors. And since we know that key scenes of the film will take place in Peru, seeing such a low number of actors means the rest of the characters are CGI. It has been suspected that this is the place where the film's mcguffin is found along with the Maximals so there will be scenes where humans are the minority. Or this could be a misinterpretation of the article (like maybe it's just 2 Peruvian actors integrating with the rest of the cast) or of the source the article is using. We'll see. Of course don't forget that there will be lots of humans in the Brooklyn segment including a job interview for the main character.

A large number of robots can still be lacking in personality, as seen in any big Decepticon army scenes from the previous movies.

Lack of humans isn't an indicator that the robots magically become better characters.

The issue in the past is partially due to many human characters just not being good or annoying which makes one tolerate their presence less, I mean from what I could tell most people didn't have a problem with Lennox and Epps in at least the first film as characters which is probably because their roles in the films usually made sense as well as not being annoying.

Not sure if I'm just being bias in this case but I did love the Lennox team stuff in the first film, the attack from Blackout and then the desert stuff with Scorponok, that stuff wasn't just enjoyable because of the Decepticons but there were some good performances (imo) from the humans in this case.

Kinda going on a tangent but I guess my point is that just because we are seeing humans here doesn't mean that the film is going to have terrible robot presence, it's not like we are going to see actual Transformers on set outside of the vehicles and maybe some head on a stick props.

This is how it is for ANY large army. It seems that in the Bumblebee movie, B127 was his original designation and the Autobot lieutenants (higher command?) seemed to have more original style and names. It was the same with the 'Cons. That was one of the main issues with the G1 cartoon...you couldn't really have a REAL war becuase all the characters were named, incorporated, and important. In war, there are losses. Imagine millions of years of the kind of violence we saw in the cartoon movie...that one movie essentially wiped ALL the main characters we knew. There needs to be disposeable troops to demonstrate the losses of war, with the lieutenants/command structure demonstrating more customized styles, and thus names rather than designations.

Sure, but hopefully a few have personalities. I am personally optimistic for this film.

They also need to have likable personalities.

All five Autobots in AOE, for instance, had personality, but it was the same one: "Murder-obsessed jerk".

There were differences. Bumblebee and Hound were far more empathetic to humans than Crosshairs who didn't care.

Optimus felt like he was betrayed and was fed up of this world Ala Tommy Wiseau.

That film had more personalities than any of the other films.

And Drift didn't seem either murder obsessed or a jerk

He did go all stabby stabby at that one alien who just startled him in Lockdown's ship.
