Transformers 5: The Last Knight Additional Vehicle Mode Photos

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."

jays bay cant even do a twitter vid without a sunset in it !

That's way too many humans for a Transformers movie.

Ironhide died in DOTM.

Woops, I meant Hound.

Interesting prop can be seen here:



Also in the video, when you see this vehicle, it briefly scrolls down and you can see it has "Titans" written on the side. I couldn't pause it in time to screen-shot it though.

What is this, a Space Bridge for ants?

Whatever it is, it's Cybertronian. Also, that thing they're standing in front of in that shot does look awfully like a metal pyramid, right? Maybe that shot is on Cybertron? Or maybe it's a lost Cybertronian city? Whatever the case, it sure does remind me of the Giza pyramid machine thing from RotF that the Fallen was trying to use to harvest the sun. (I dunno what it was called, and I don't care.) I sure hope we don't get any more deserts.

You mean...the Solar Harvester? Wouldn't that have been easier to type than parentheses and a whole sentence?

"Star Harvester" or "Great Machine" ("Solar Harvester" was an error of my own fault that still haunts me every time it crops up ).

Sabrbalade was wrong?!

I was mostly just busting chops. But technically, the sun is a star, and Harvester is more than 50% of the name, so you're not entirely wrong.

It's more that I inadvertently created a term that was passed off as official when, in reality, the term was product of my delirious imagination misremembering a name that never existed in the movie that my mind had, at the time, been deluded into thinking was indeed given in that movie. And now whenever I see that term resurface, I can't help but feel haunted by it.

Just shows how brain-damaging the ROTF movie was.

I wonder who the Decepticon Volkswagen van is supposed to be.

Kinda weird for a 'Con in Bayformers to pick that as an alt mode to me, but I seem to recall DotM had a garbage truck and pickup truck being picked. It's not either a super sports car or government/military vehicle of impending death.

That's what i was thinking

& maybe a touch of Madmans Paradise(if Merlin is in it)

Ebonyleopard wrote: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).

Erm...haven't you even watched the previous movies? coz one of them had scenes almost identical to Ultimate Doom & Megatrons Master Plan! so Bay must've seen those to incorporate that into the movie

Maybe this would've been better

No. Cap would just make Optimus look bad (or worse than normal) by comparison.

They did have that crossover between IDW Transformers and Avengers a good few years back.

Everyone LOVED that, right?


In any case do these recent pics lend any more credence to Merlin being in this? 'Cos that's weird. And may possibly be the most likable thing about the movies so far

Seibertronians, are you ready for some more TF5 news? Well, we've got some!

First, according to his Instagram, Michael Bay has a new camera! This one's special because it's been custom built for him by the camera company RED! It's got some cool details, including a special TF5 Megatron medallion on the side! He's shared a video of him using it on a Victoria's Secret Campaign he's currently working on in Paris! Do you think he'll use it for The Last Knight? Check it out below!

-----------Video goes here----------------

Next, we've got a bunch of new photo and video from the Transformers set on the Isle of Skye, in Scotland, that we reported on earlier. These new angles come to us from Buchanan Photos, and Michael Bay's Instagram. The photos show that same actor (who is speculated to be Merlin, as per the rumors) riding his horse across the Isle, with more helicopter shots, as well as some pictures of the crew, and a better look at staff that may or may not be a little alien in origin...



The video, on the other hand, shows Michael Bay on location in Scotland (wearing a pretty cool hat, if I do say so myself), showing just how scenic it is up there.

--------second video here------------


So, what do you think of the filming in Scotland? Does it confirm the Arthurian rumors going around? If it's true, what other rumors do you think are legit? Let us know in the comments! And, as always, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com!

Thank you Michael Bay for proving you will use any excuse to show a sexualized woman.

Lol Yep. "We're selling Panties with it" is my favorite line. Legendary

Moreover, it's classy.

Citizens of Seibertron, news had broken, thanks to the website VG Film, that the next stop for the TF5 filming crew will be Norway! Yes, after they wrap up on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, they'll make their way east! Locations seem to include Pulpit Rock, Atlantic Road, and Trolltunga.

The filming is set to include a crew of 50 or 60 people, which is larger than the crew currently in Scotland, but none of the Actors themselves are set to appear yet. After Norway, the next stop for filming will be back west, to London, England! It's interesting how the filming has had such a specific focus on London.

The filming in Norway will take place anytime after October 2nd, so be sure to watch Seibertron.com for updates and set photos!

What do you think they're going to film in Norway? Other Transformers fans have noted that you can easily see the northern lights very often in Norway...Will that play into the movie in any way? What actors do you think will be appearing? What about Sir Anthony Hopkins? He joined the cast a while ago, but has yet to make an appearance on set (as far as we know). Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

And, as always, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest Transformers New and Reviews!

Lots of people will try to criticize Mr. Bay, and in the end, they will end up using his technology/ideas...

I respect his job, always out of the box!

BERSEKAEL wrote:Lots of people will try to criticize Mr. Bay, and in the end, they will end up using his technology/ideas...

His technology is one of the few legitimately praiseworthy things about the movies.

Caught wind of this just now:

http://mashable.com/2016/08/29/transfor ... EpwLOSmaqu

Can't believe they are doing the King Arthur thing actually and in talks to cast someone that played the role in something entirely unrelated. I hope it doesn't suck. Likely it'll be controversial for the fandom though.

As long as this Arthur isn't anything like that twatwaffle Arthur he played on OUAT.

Burn wrote:As long as this Arthur isn't anything like that twatwaffle Arthur he played on OUAT.

I honestly haven't even watched OUAT mostly due to the fact I've been binging on Arrow, The Flash, and Transformers Animated (which I'm super glad I gave it another chance as suggested) as of late. I keep putting it off, but I probably should hop on it. Twatwaffle is also a creative insult. I'll have to add that to my repertoire.

With the King Arthur age and his knights clearly showing up in the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight movie, we bring to you exciting news that Liam Garrigan, the actor who portrays King Arthur in Once Upon a Time is currently in talks to play the same character for the upcoming Transformers movie! While Paramount has not responded to requests for comment, it appears that King Arthur is firmly in play and that Garrigan may very well portray 2 Kings in his life. Check out the full news story HERE.

Is this like adapted from that time travel episode in G1?

That's actually what I was wondering when I came across the article in the first place. A lot of the Bayformers films are inspired by a few G1 episodes too in terms of basic plot outlines, so it's not too much of a surprise to me they're doing another that's based on something previously.

Michael Bay is an incredible director. The bar wasn't set very high with the first movie, and he manages to limbo under it with each subsequent film.

It's also possible that, instead of any time travel, all the Arthurian scenes take place entirely in flashbacks. Maybe a reasonable amount of the film is set in the past the natural way.

Sabrblade wrote:It's also possible that, instead of any time travel, all the Arthurian scenes take place entirely in flashbacks. Maybe a reasonable amount of the film is set in the past the natural way.

I'm going to guess this as the most likely scenario all the films in the first 2/5 minutes have a flash back to a long time ago.

Sabrblade wrote:It's also possible that, instead of any time travel, all the Arthurian scenes take place entirely in flashbacks. Maybe a reasonable amount of the film is set in the past the natural way.

Which would mean it draws just as much inspiration from the first TF UK comic arc, "Man of Iron", as "A Decepticon Raider In King Arthur's Court".

And it's about time. Because when I first heard Bay watched every episode of the G1 cartoon, but nothing about comics, I asked myself, if I was able to recommend just one comic story to him to research, what would it be? Man of Iron, no question. It may not have contributed anything enduring to the mythos (partly because it's an awkward fit in Marvel continuity), but it always felt more like the comic adaptation of a British TF movie that didn't quite get made in 1985. Well, now that movie will actually sort of exist, and I can't complain about that.

It was also the first story to play with the 4-million-year gap, and considering all 4 Bay films have done some variation on that to try and ground the story's stakes in Earth history, it's just a natural fit.

And if he leaves Lancelot and the round table out of the story (as they surely won't have time to stop off in France), TF:TLK will be a tad more historically accurate than most movies involving King Arthur, FWIW.

i can deal with flashbacks as long there is no transformers travel back in time as was in cartoon

dragons wrote:i can deal with flashbacks as long there is no transformers travel back in time as was in cartoon

That's personally what I'm hoping for myself in this instance.

Most likely flashbacks, I can't see time travel being worked realistically into the film.

And Graham Chapman is the best King Arthur.

Whifflefire wrote:And Graham Chapman is the best King Arthur.

May he rest in peace.

The first thing I thought of when I heard of King Arthur in a Transformers movie was a fight between Optimus and Megatron ending with "Alright, we'll call it a draw."

Also, have you guys seen this?

It's pretty interesting, but I do disagree with the "unwatchable" comment.

When we newsed the rumour about Liam Garrigan being in talks for a role in Transformers: The Last Knight - possible as King Arthur - we almost missed another sneaky rumour in the same Mashable.com piece, concerning cast member Santiago Cabrera. You'll remember when he was announced that we made sure to point out his acting history, and it looks like his past experience may be coming back to haunt him: according to the site, he will be playing none other than Merlin.

This leaves us a number of options: Merlin travels through time; Merlin reincarnates; this rumour is entirely unfounded; there is a mistake on Mashable; it's just a guy named Merlin. Let us know what you make of it in the Energon Pub!

Mark Wahlberg stars alongside Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Isabela Moner, Laura Haddock, Jerrod Carmichael, Gil Birmingham and Anthony Hopkins. Santiago Cabrera will co-star as Merlin, and many of your favorite Autobots and Decepticons will return as well.

Seibertron.com wrote:Cabrera was a regular in British series Merlin (hmmmm concidence?).

In further Transformers: The Last Knight news, we have a new behind the scenes clip from the official Transformers movie Facebook page - as notified by Seibertronian overlord Burn - featuring the 'street kids' that we've seen accompany Isabela Moner, play around with director Michael Bay, and talking about getting chased by a Transformers.
