Seibertronians, welcome to the Transformers 5 Set Picture/News Round-up, the feature where we take a look at all the news we haven't covered that broke this past week in the Bay-verse.
We start off with a story from Michael Bay's Instagram, updating us on the World's Loneliest Dog story we reported on last month. It seems she's finally found a home after Michael Bay publicized her inclusion in the Last Knight.
The caption reads
Story #2 comes from the Transformers 5 Facebook fan page, where they've shared a quick behind-the-scenes interview with the Truck driver who shuttles the Optimus Prime semi around the country. Check it out below!
Our final two set pictures are coming from the official Transformers 5 Instagram, where they've shared a couple scenic photos from the Detroit set. Take a look!
Ah, puns.
Leave your thoughts about these images and videos down below! And, as always, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com, your best source for Transformers news on the net!

Well, glad we helped this poor dog who lived in a shelter her whole life.
The caption reads
She still has a part in Transformers when we get to England.

Ah yes, the sunrise glinting in as something dramatic happens in slow-mo in the foreground. When you find a horse you love, ride that thing into the ground.
So, how many sunrises will there be? 10? 15? Should we start a pool?

Weird how we're getting everything else(movie & tv trailers & info ect) coming out of comicon....but yet not one peep about The Last Knight? now....obviously i'm not expecting a teaser or trailer at this early stage, but i thought something might've been revealed at ComiCon by now!(YES i know that ComiCon continues today & we still may get some snippet of news....or not?....but maybe i'm just too eager to hear at least something new coming outa there 
).

Another thing to consider stu is that bay likes to control the flow of information and if the past is anything to go by, will withhold the plot till much later on. Besides we don't need any other details yet, let's let them actually finish shooting the movie till we ask for stuff

Via the 'lifestyle' section of Deadline Detroit, we get a look and a report on the current filming activities in the Michigan city - and a direct link to The BananaDoctor, who is currently watching the set from an office, as it happens - as we find out that London is in fact, also in Michigan: it appears some of the set dressing is to recreate the UK's capital for fight, chase, and explosion sequences.
Find below a short clip, some images of the set, and some stunt action from Mark Wahlberg and doubles, too, as we find more of the BayBuster car flipping machine, and a sword shows up in Cade Yaeger's hands..!

Seibertronians, more video from the Transformers 5 set has been shared over on the official TF5 instagram! This new video shows Mark Wahlberg and what appears to be Bay-verse new-comer, Isabela Moner, riding in Bumblebee on a sound-stage, when something goes wrong with Wahlberg's chair! Take a look!

I think it's a joke about bumblebee being a convertible now, hence topless. Remember dragons is also using a translation tool.

He means since the new car in the movie is a convertible with the top down, he's wondering if the toy will be the same, like Sideswipe in Dark of the Moon.
Yeah, I had to read it a couple times myself.

Via the very active Instagram account of the Transformers: The Last Knight marketing team, we have two minor updates. In one clip, embedded below, Josh Duhamel / Lennox, makes a rousing speech about checking the Transformers Facebook page every Tuesday to get behind the scenes updates from the set (we'll stay tuned for you).
In the other, the IDW people were rightfully excited to spot two comics from their production, both part of the Transformers series (and one issue from when it was still called Robots in Disguise) by John Barber, and one with art by Andrew Griffith (issue #13) and one by Sara Pitre Durocher (issue #47). Just an easter egg, or a chance that some ideas might find their way on screen? Check it out below, and speculate away!

It's always seemed bizarre to me that IDW and Bayformers run at the same time - like, on one hand you have MTMTE which is clever, fresh, interesting, hailed as one of the greatest contemporary comics period by critics and has characters and situations that are deep, relatable and interesting on a level never before seen in Transformers... and you have Bayformers which is about as generic an action movie as you can get.
Not meaning that as an insult to Bayformers I just find it kinda funny

Try actually reading the comics and you'll know you couldn't be farther from the truth. Also, reading more might help you improve your grammar.

If you read the IDW comics, you'd know that there are no good guys vs. bad guys anymore. The war is over, and the characters are more complex. Starscream is the (elected!) leader of Cybertron... and miserable, possibly going crazy (but is a depressed way, not crazy with power). Megatron has renounced violence, and is trying to atone for his sins... while being put in situations that require him to use violence for good. Optimus Prime has tried to conquer Earth, which sounds bad, but he's doing it "for their own good," so not exactly being evil. Soundwave is trying to build a commune for Decepticons out in space, away from Cybertron. Skullcruncher has become a stand up comic... the list goes on and on and on...

Or, maybe this is just taking a really weird spin on the Combaticons...

Fellow Seibertronians, thanks to several users, we now know just who the green tow truck will be in Transformers: The Last Knight - Onslaught! Yep, seen here on Micheal Bay's Facebook page, the leader of the Combaticons is getting a bit of a make-over as a heavy duty tow truck. We also get a short video via Instagram that shows the newly named Onslaught driving down a road along with Barricade and the rusty van Decepticon.
Check out the picture and video along with what Micheal Bay has to say about him, and don't forget to leave your thoughts on this reveal in the comments below.
Nothing can prepare you for Onslaught.

Or the combat part can be his pure cambat ability and has almost nothing to do with his vehicle mode?
He has a tow truck hook so I assume that will be a weapon of his in robot form and with Onslaught revealed I will not be surprised if the Rusted VW van is Swindle and even Vortex and Blastoff are Cgi air vehicles like Starscream was sometimes.
Brawl is already dead so I wonder if they might tie it in somehow with Onslaught being around for revenge or something.

Blast Off begs to disagree.

You can attach a gun to a family van doesn't make it suited for combat

I just hope the next movie's figures step up a bit in complexity again, Hasbro took the complaints of over-complication too far and erred on the side of simplicity that time around. The figures I got out of it were just boring and/or shellformers. Hopefully they can find a happy medium this time around.

Stunticons: Reckless-driven cars and trucks
Aerialbots: Aircraft
Combaticons: Military combat vehicles (plus a cannon-armed space shuttle)
Protectobots: Emergency response vehicles
The news article wasn't calling this TLK Onslaught a Combaticon. It was saying that the guy who was the Combaticon leader in G1 is having his name applied to this new TLK character. Don't take it so literally.

probably not. As we have seen, there are many duplicate Transformers. Also Barricade died in DotM , yet somehow he is back...

Yeah, again; no-one really stays dead. If they wanna bring someone back, they'll bring someone back. I'm fully expecting Soundwave and Starscream to be in this movie somehow...
