The Michael Bay official website and Flickr account have shared another image from the Transformers: The Last Knight set showing ..er.. trucks.. sort of ..um.. flipped, against a green screen. Described by Bay as 'Creating some wicked action in 116 degree weather.', these are a clear indication of the mystical powers of ROM the Spaceknight infused with the wisdom of Merlin of Avalon. Or maybe just an explosion in progress, knowing the modus operandi of the director. In any case, check out the image below, and speculate away entirely about nothing in the Energon Pub!

We have another year of this kind of post, folks, get ready for a weird ride!

Given Bay's tendency to use real pyrotechnics, i doubt it's an explosion.

I enjoyed the action scenes implemented within the 'tractor beam', I vividly remember being awed by the triceratops guy running on the side of a building while being pulled up towards the ship, it was awesome. So I hope this is in a similar vein.

Via the official Transformers: The Last Knight Snapchat account, we have yet another look at what is probably going to become the 'mascot' figure of the live action movie - for better or for worse - in its digital render model, courtesy of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM). Check out Vespa-former Sqweeks below!

He kinda reminds me of the old Disney movie 'the black hole' and a couple of the bots in it. Still looks like a minicon to me.

What bothers me... As with Every transformers movie CGI rendering to actual is... He looks battle damaged or scanned a junked scooter. When we see him in vehicle mode though... He'll be a shiny brand new looking Vespa or some crap. Even the twins in ROTF... For the brief second we saw them before they scanned the Chevy looked new. Where is the a 5 ttention to detail then? I'm tired of the car commercial movie. Show the dang cars with Battle damage... Won't hurt poor little (insert vehicle brand name here) image one bit. :-x

You endorse a Bay movie for product placement... You get the Bay treatment and not the we're kissing your keister treatment that has become the norm.

An in-universe explanation for that was given years ago saying that the altmodes' disguising tech projects imagery of the altmodes in pristine condition to help in their hiding the robot inside.

Not the best reason but it's better than Optimus having to say "General Motors forbids our vehicle modes from ever looking dirty."

This^ I'd imagine car companies are very particular about how they cars look to potential customers and will want them to look as attractive as possible. Personally I just accept it as it is and roll with it.

Yeah, what he said. Though in all seriousness, maybe opt-optimus is thinking that the release of pictures from the film sets is just a marketing campaign. In a way he's right but it's something every movie does.

I didn't know that filming coverage was something most movies use as a promotion to their films. Seeing pictures photographed by Bay, Isabella Moner, and filming staff on location will level up the interest in the movie. How do I know? Because no matter how I felt after Age of Extinction, curiosity will get the best of me and I'm probably going to see it in theaters. :BANG_HEAD:

Probably because he looks inspired from a Mini-Con. (Hint): Fixit Speaking of Mini-Cons, what if there are Mini-Cons in this film and they all have that partnership/hidden weapon gimmick like Armada?

The old movie toy Barricade's robot mode looks like crap (except HA....maybe), but sports a great alt mode in all the versions. Hope this one will come up much better.

I wouldn't depend on reviews and another person opinion on movie you won't know you like something unless you try it for self are you going to take someone review on basic pizza that you never had before instead of smelling, tasting it for your self people disagree with critics more than you know if people listened to critics transformer 4&5 would not have made billion at box office.

You can very easily listen to, agree with and understand a critic's opinion and where they're coming from without mindlessly saying yes to every word. Especially when we have four movies of experience.

This is probably false. While that might account for some of it, the main income is from three things:
1. People who don't care about Transformers and just want to see a neat action movie.
2. Kids.
3. Chinese people.

Also there's like, a two-buck theater right near me.

I'll probably go see it in theaters too, I missed DOTM and AOE (still haven't seen AOE actually..) and it'd be great to see Transformers on the big screen. Actually.. has the 1986 movie ever been played in theaters?

Reviews will still give me a good idea of what the movie is like without outright spoiling it (mostly). I also have friends with similar tastes who will go see it in theaters when it comes out. Both of those would give me a better idea of weather or not I'd want to shell out some money to go to a theater and see it than if I were to just outright refuse to see it, which was going to be my original plan. But I figure I should at least consider it. Besides, there seems to be a pattern forming with these movies. First one was alright, second one was garbage, third one was great, fourth one was crap, so if the pattern holds true then maybe the fifth one will be good (depending on how easy it will be to ignore Squeeks).

However, knowing that Barricade is in this next movie stirs my interest in wanting to see it a bit. I loved Barricade in the first movie and thought he'd be gone for good after the 3rd one. I'm glad that I appear to have been wrong. Of course he could just do the same thing that Blackout did and change his name to something like Stockade before getting killed by Murder Prime.

Another of the travelling cast, not currently based in the US, of Transformers: The Last Knight, has arrived in Detroit where Michael Bay and crew are currently shooting: Laura Haddock! As we saw here, she still appears pretty stoked to be a part of all this - check out the images from Michael Bay's official website and her own Twitter account too below.

Oh Good! I hope Laura Haddock and Mark Walhberg's Character get together. Being a dad with his daughter and boyfriend is fun and all, but I think the main Human hero should get the girl (not his daughter) this time. :-D

Yes because if there's one thing there's a dearth of in Hollywood movies, it's romance subplots. :roll:

That's why the father-daughter dynamic was my favorite element of the last movie. The hero had nobler intentions than just trying to impress/screw a hot chick, like we saw in the first three movies.

Courtesy of fellow Seibertronian and Twincast Podcast member megatronus, we have some images of the Transformers The Last Knight billboard that went up earlier this afternoon in Times Square. This billboard of the upcoming film from Paramount, features Optimus Prime, brandishing his sword, and facing off against 3 monstrous looking creatures. A tattered Decepticon flag is in the background along with some various structures or towers. The billboard is located at 1196 6th Ave (cross street is 47th St) in midtown Manhattan, close to Times Square. Share your thoughts about this billboard and Transformers 5 The Last Knight on our Energon Pub forums.

Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:That Decepticon symbol is a little off. It's got a big V on it. Or is that 5?

That's definitely a V. Could just be there as the roman numeral for 5 or maybe for Victory? I don't see them using any Victory-era Decepticons but maybe there was an Autobot-Decepticon war wherever Optimus is and the Decepticons won.
