The first set of news comes from a tweet written by Mitch Pileggi, whom stated that he had filmed Transformers with Michael Bay recently. He was not willing to tell us what part he played in the filming, and the context of his tweet suggests his part is already done. You can see his tweet mirrored below. Pileggi is best known for his role as Walter Skinner in The X-Files.
Had the extreme pleasure of working on the new Transformers movie with @michaelbay. It's fascinating watching this cat work.
The second set of news regards another image from filming, but this time it appears that the Decepticon drone fighters seen in both Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction may be making another appearance. The images were captured by the transformers_contributions and posted on their Instagram page. Check out the images below, along with a comparison shot from the previous movies:

(WJBK) - The Transformers are returning to Detroit this summer. The next movie in the Transformers franchise is being filmed partly in Detroit -- and the crew is looking for some local flare.
They have an open casting call for extras. Maryellen Aviano joined us in studio to tell us more about the casting call. You can watch the interview in the video player above, or get the details below.
She says those who are interested should email transformers5extras@gmail.com. Things to include in the email are a recent photograph of yourself and your stats (height, contact info, schedule, etc.) She said most extras will be for those 18 and older, but there may be some spots available for 16-18 year olds.
Extras needed for 'Transformers 5' filming in Detroit
The crew is fresh off filming in the Arizona desert, and will be in Detroit for the next eight weeks. That's the longest they'll be filming at any location for the movie.
"We're trying to hire as many local people in every capacity that we can," Aviano said. "[Director] Michael Bay loves Detroit and loves the iconic landmarks and the architecture."
She said Mark Wahlberg and Josh Duhmel are back for the film, as well as Anthony Hopkins.
"It's just going to be a really great time while we're here," she said.
The fifth installment in the franchise is reportedly titled "Transformers: The Last Knight." IMDB says it's due out in June of 2017.

The Transformers Twitter page posted a behind-the-scenes 15 second video, and within that video Mark Walhberg is shown taking a nap with Micheal bay impatiently waiting for him to wake up. But as the camera man passes by Bay, an interesting exchange takes place, where the man behind the camera says:
"Hey Bay, I got Squeaks"
and Bay responds:
"Hey, Squeaks. Wait for Mark Wahlberg to wake up."
As the rumor stated last week, there is a new character with the name "Squeaks" so is this confirmation of this part of the rumor?

An array of giant metallic contraptions have landed at the long-vacant Packard Plant as preparations are being made for the filming of the next "Transformers" movie.
Among the crumbling concrete of the sprawling former Detroit automotive plant, scenes for the fifth Transformers movie, staring Mark Wahlberg, are beginning to take shape.
Two Chicago Transit Authority trains are positioned as if they careened off their artificial rail lines, and giant gears and machinery lie in pieces around the set.

Also there goes the theory on those being code names for familiar characters like they did in the previous movies.
EDIT: Oh Crap! It's T-Bob! M.A.S.K. crossover confirmed! (Not really.)

Ahh that's cool. I think it's pretty awesome that they actually made a model for this guy instead of entirely CGI. Looks like they used real Vespa parts too.

If it is Megatron, that is.Deadput wrote:Thanks to Bay's flickr account we have a better view on Megatron's face.
Remember, the original "Megatron Will Return" message was from a different image of a Decepticon symbol with glowing red eyes.

Paint, probably, Optimus has it as well.
Anyway, I took a second and adjusted the brightness on the image. Pretty interesting round head, almost G1 shaped.

Second-off, I feel sorry for the people who have to make toys of this thing. It's going to be just like the Arcee triplets.

Unicron is the worst thing they could do especially since he is a one dimension character from the start Unicron should be one of the last villains because they do him now what are they going to do next?

That would be good yes but if they bring him they better build him up because everyone including people who want Unicron are going to complain if he just shows up half arsed and then dies and never being brought up again.

This is my personal opinion, but if Unicron does show up I'd like him to be voiced by Michael Bay. It'd make sense having an all powerful destroyer voiced by an all powerful destroyer (Though I do have a soft spot for the Movieverse...).

hoping also we have some Autobots with a bit more of a sense of honour and nobility this time. the Wreckers, the AOE bots and even Ironhide all seemed to find protecting innocent life forms an annoyance and a chore.

Oh don't worry, according to rumours Drift is back so you'll get all that packed into a terrible Japanese stereotype that I'm surprised I didn't see more people mad about.
Sorry, watched AOE yesterday so I'm a bit jaded
On the positive side, I am just realising what Squeaks and the young female protagonist means - that they're trying to appeal to a younger audience so it should be a bit more child-friendly and fun, and we'll actually have a main female protagonist who isn't just the most obvious horny teenager views incentive. So... it's progress.
