Also, from Owen Morgs, who took a closer look at that Stargate-esque triangle logo on the humans seen in the movie so far, we find out the letters TRF are also part of the symbol - what do you think it can mean? Discuss and speculate away in the Energon Pub!

You did!
EDIT: How odd - the credit is there in admin panel, but not on the site.

I've found it normally takes about an hour for the number in news credit to go up. It shows up once you click that you got the credit, but it takes a bit for the actual shown number to adjust

Have a theory as to what the staff may be. Let me know what you all think please. Perhaps it belonged to Quintus Prime, one of the thirteen and creator of the Quintessons, he has a power he put into an artifact called "The Emberstone" and he placed it within a staff and gave it to Merlin to use to conjure his magic.
The Emberstone can accelerate biological processes in base elements.

I just realized that "Hot Rod" is not black but DEEP, REALLY DEEP PURPLE trimmed with ORANGE.

I doubt the TF films would do anything with the actual original 13 - not only because this universe established it to be 7, but also because Michael Bay himself said that TF2 having mystical elements was a really big mistake.

Slightly quiet time from the Transformers: The Last Knight marketing department? Probably building up to the one and only Anthony Hopkins ready to take on the camera role (or the voice role) for the movie, as Michael Bay and production are in currently in London. Check out the very short Instagram clip below, and keep checking Seibertron.com for more updates as they arrive!

After a human, a new Transformer character has been spotted on the London set for Transformers: The Last Knight, and we share via social media users Steve Mason and June Bates - who do not identify the bright red McLaren Sports Series 570GT, though there is the suggestion that Dino / Mirage may in fact be back for the fifth Paramount movie. Check out the images below, and let the speculation engines rev in the Energon Pub!

Oh boy. A high-end sports car in the live-action movies, how novel.

Why does every red car have to be Dino?

Wonderful, another stereotype character is coming back.

I wouldn't call him a stereotype. He had a (legit) Italian accent and that was it.

Speaking of stereotypes, I wonder why Cybertronians even have Earth based accents. I don't really get how that gets factored into the development of a character. Why aren't there transformers with Swahili accents or Russian accents.

Convention. An accent can help you get a specific mental image of a character, and it makes them more identifiable then they would be if everyone just had a northeastern american one or something. In-universe, I assume it matters where they land and what their first data scans would be like. If some random autobot lands in Germany and the first broadcast it picks up is a german-language sitcom, they're going to pick up that accent.

Unless it does something really cool for a character, I've always felt accents are overused in Transformers as a whole. For example, Cybertron with it's Texan Skywarp, Australian Jetfire felt unnecessary, but the New York accents of Ransack and Crumplezone were golden (in my opinion).
Now for the movies, I'd be okay if they used accents liberally, but not to the point of giving characters such strong accents that they feel like stereotypes, regardless of the stereotype laden writing (looking at you Skids and Mudflap). For example, Ken Wantanabe may naturally have a strong Japanese accent, but I've seen films where he's had a softer accent. Why this couldn't be applied to Drift? We'll never know.

Saw this on social media, but someone suggested the car could be "Stinger" brought back from the fourth film (even though they got scrapped). But eh. I guess we won't know until the movie comes out or more information is released.

In some other part of the world your probably considered a stereotype.
And even if he was you do know just because someone is a stereotype doesn't mean it's a bad thing right?
Look at the G1 cartoon for example it has a lot of similar characters there.
