That's a shame. Would've loved to see a Blades kid instead; that's something that would be both cool and would fit in the bayverse.

Tehehe. I like you.
Let's hope she turns out to be less of a pawn in the film, and more of a.. Rook.

Seriously...? I mean, of all things to protect, the script? The story is hardly what people care about; even most fans know it's mostly excuse plots for explosions and giant robots punching each other.

Well, remember how many things were spoiled from the first three films by their respective tie-in materials? For AOE, it was a completely unspoiled experience prior to its theatrical release.

ComingSoon wrote:Production has begun on the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight and they’ve set up shop in an unlikely place: Cuba! Director Michael Bay made the announcement on his Instagram page, noting they were only the second American production to be filming in Cuba (following the upcoming Fast 8 ).

The Transformers: The Last Knight cast includes the return of Transformers: Age of Extinction star Mark Wahlberg as Cade Yeager as well as newcomer Isabela Moner (100 Things to Do Before High School, Growing Up Fisher) as the film’s female lead, Izabella. Jerrod Carmichael (The Carmichael Show, Neighbors) is also set to play an unspecified leading role. Josh Duhamel will also reprise his role of Lieutenant Colonel Lennox from the first three films.

Production on Transformers: The Last Knight is set to come stateside on June 6 in Detroit, where Transformers: Age of Extinction was also shot.

Michael Bay returns to the director’s chair for the film, which is set to be written by Iron Man scribes Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down). Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto will produce the sequel.

Combined, the previous four Transformers films have brought in over $3.7 billion at the global box office with 2014’s Age of Extinction the second-highest grossing in the series. Current plans call for Transformers: The Last Knight to be released on June 23, 2017. It will be followed by a Bumblebee spin-off film in 2018 before Transformers 6 arrives in 2019.

You do know most movie transformers don't have faction symbols in alt mode right?

The only transformers to retain their original colours in the movies are Optimus, Bumblebee, Hound and Megatron and Megatron is only loosely based on the G1 colours.


So it could be anyone hell it could be Blurr for all we know.

They're never plastered on, but I could swear that there's often a subtle symbol either somewhere on the bonnet or the radiator, similar to where you might find the manufacturer's badge

And Brawl, one-third of Arcee, another one-third of Arcee named Chromia, The Fallen, Ravage, Long Haul (debatable), Scrapmetal (there was a yellow/black version), Topspin, Shockwave (debatable), and (sorta) the Dinobots (they were at least largely gray in the movie).

Shockwave only really kept his colouring in the toys.

Yeah, it's debatable with him. Some DOTM imagery gives him more of a purple hue while other imagery of him doesn't.

The day before we spoke, Mr. Duhamel was stationed to film his scenes 70 miles outside of Los Angeles in El Mirage, California. “I had never been there and it’s a trip,” he said of the far flung locale. “It’s this giant, flat lakebed with 40 MPH winds that didn’t stop all day, but Michael [Bay]’s set is unlike any other set. He has all of the gadgets and the coolest stuff, and the energy of that set is just really – well, it’s a spectacle, and it’s really changed my career. It’s helped me to pursue other little creative things. I love the big Transformer movies, but I also love these passion projects.”

Me too since you said that. I thought you were using reverse psychology to get more people to watch it.

So, can anyone here translate morse code?
