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..!
Video isn't really my thing but here is a clip from the #Transformers set in #Detroit yesterday. Holy flying cars! pic.twitter.com/UgQecodtrR

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.

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!

Pro-tip: read the IDW comics.

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.

Nothing can prepare you for Onslaught.

I'm excited about this, I mean I have no high hopes for the movie but I like the look of the look of bayformers, and I love tow-truck transformers, so im excited for the toy that will be released for onslought

Sure you don't mean Menasor or Abominus or something? You got this one right the first time?

As am I, this figure (I hope) is going to be awesome, especially based on such a beefy truck as this one

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.

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

The 1986 G1 combiner subgroup names were all derived from their vehicle modes:Deadput wrote:Or the combat part can be his pure cambat ability and has almost nothing to do with his vehicle mode?
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...

We never saw Barricade getting killed that's the thing we were left to assume he did die but he was still moving around alive when we last saw him and yes I did watch that scene carefully.
And for those talking about rezzing guys back from the dead that has only happened 4 times in the movies and 3 of them happened in one film and the 4'th was pretty much just cloning/transferring his still active mind to another shell.
Only Sam, Optimus and Megatron has been brought back from death everyone else is and probably will stay dead.

"that has only happened four times"
"only"
Honestly mate, if they wanna bring back a character, they will. Death won't stop them, especially in a movie where it's just a big blockbuster they'd want big names like Soundwave to advertise and draw people in. Enjoy the movies' plot if you want; but you've gotta realise that it's really not made to be brilliant with lasting impact. Death has not, is not and never will be an issue for this type of movie.

They wont only Prime, Megatron and Sam have been brought back from death and all in the same movie not including the Galvatron thing.
Jazz is dead, Ironhide is dead, Ratchet is Dead, Starscream and Soundwave will stay dead too.

Bullshit!
If that was the case they would not kill Soundwave off and he would have made a bigger impact in the movies he was in and they would have brought him back in AOE Bay could have brought Jazz back but did not because death is permanent in these films with only the leaders being exceptions.

Why are you sure they won't? Why are you so sure they really care so much about silly little things like continuity and story in this sort of movie?
Again, enjoy the story and characters if you will... but you're kinda deluding yourself if you think they take any sort of priority.

And why are you sure they would bring them back?
It's movie 5 if they were going to bring them back they would of plus there are more Transformers in history then the big names give the lower b guys a chance eh?

I'm not sure they'll bring them back. I'm just sure that if they WANTED to, they wouldn't let anything stop them. They'd come up with some rubbish to revive them.
And yeah, I'd love to give some of the lower guys a chance. I actually wish more Transformers fiction would do that and it's one of the reasons why I love IDW's MTMTE so much; it brings life and personality to a lot of characters who previously had practically no fictional appearances at all. But it's the movies. The movies' sole purpose is to make money. There's no real care for plot and character; no real care for doing anything original or making particularly amazing or stylistic directing; it's just all for the money. That's why they're a heck of a lot more likely to bring back guys like Starscream than start using Sureshot or Siren or Runamuck or whatever. They could - and, in fact, the last movie did feature a Crosshairs in a starring role - but they're more likely to use characters that are a lot more recognisable.
Again, like it if you want, I can't stop you; just realise that they're doing it for the money and plot and continuity isn't going to stop them from doing whatever they want.
Anyway, this is a bit derailed. We literally just got news a few hours ago and already we've gotten back into an unrelated argument this thread seems to generate. How did we get on this optic anyway

Not sure of the reasoning. I mean, when I want a 'combat vehicle' I don't think 'Gee, I'd better get a TOW TRUCK'...

Unless you strap a legless transformer onto it, but let's be honest, that's just a redundant step.
