While we wait for a trailer or teaser (or anything) for the upcoming Transformers Rise of the Beasts film, we have a really cool video taken of the set while filming was underway. In the video below we see Optimus Prime ramming into Scourge. And it makes Scourge go through a brick wall with typical live action Baysplosions going off (Michael bay was on set, but as a producer and not director this time around). We also see a lot of Mirage, some Wheeljack and Battletrap, and a lot more of Optimus and Scourge. This was all in Lima Peru and it comes to us from fellow Seibertronian "Transformers Matrix"

Transformers Matrix wrote:I am from Lima -Peru, but when I heard. It was going to be recorded in my country, I took the first flight and went there. There I was able to record a part of a scene, and the other parts of the recording I got from other fans. I hope you like it. Here I leave the link.

Sorry to admit I am NOT impressed. Especially the part with Optimus shoving Scourge through a wall is very cringe. Am I boring, or do editing and angle really make the shots better?

To be fair, we're not watching the actual footage that's going to be used in the movie; this is someone recording it all from far away. So, yes, the real film shot from the intended angle will probably look better.

It's like watching some sort of never-ending TF parade! No matter how RotBs turns out, this was surely more fun for the onlookers than when they filmed Scream 4 in my hometown.

Don't think I can get over how ugly the added push bumper & visor looks. These accessories don't make the cab look more aggressive or imposing like the long nose trucks in Bayverse to me. It looks like a hog face to me...

this has to be a leak, one person on there mobile would not have all these angles. And why the fiteworks it looks so fake, and the thing is it’s actualy real. when cgi is better than real life then thats wrong. I love seeing what I thought would never happen. I thought if we ever got g1 the alt modes would not be faithfull, and then the chrome outer visor etc was pointed out.
Still since we are getting and dare I say it an overdose if g1, its actualy getting diluted, but I have faith now that we will get the movie we want, I’m happy if it’s animated if they do it hyper stylised, kinda like the comics of today.
it may end up that it will burn out and people get sick of transformers. I still want cross overs and Unicron and all the weird variants like pretenders and Giant cities and other worldy forms, btw bayverse does not couny

Guess what? BOTH the CGI and the "real" fireworks are FAKE. That's the goal of movie magic. Combine the real life fire and the CGI, and you have a spectacle.

But ultimately, NONE of it is real. Because explosions in real life are basically invisible and quite deadly.

Same thing with guns and their magic bullets that ignore basic physics. We grew up on Hollywood imagery. We are used to the spectacular. So reality can be quite disappointing.

I hope that in the movie scourge transforms after Optimus rams into him. That would be an awesome beginning to a fight between the two of them.

This is bystander footage and not the angle that will be used in the film. Editing, cinematography, and CGI also do indeed make things look better. Plus I’ll wager money that in the final film both of them transform after they smash through the wall.

It's not Transformers 7 because Bunglebee was a reboot.

Internally, Bumblebee's production was treated as "Transformers 6" by both Hasbro and Paramount.

It was never clearly said that the Bee Movie was a "reboot" from any official sources.

All we got was the Bee Movie was a "reboot-ish."

It’s not like continuity means much in this film franchise, anyway.

I wonder if the collision is only the beginning...I'm thinking Ironhide colliding with the Dreads in DOTM where they hit and then transformed mid-ramming...

That is still an absolutely badass scene too

I have almost non-existent expectations for this film but I must admit Scourge looks pretty good. Hopefully we get an actual prolonged chase scene with him and Prime, something that was totally missed in DoTM and only used in AoE unsatisfyingly. But Galvatron's transformation was the culprit there. That might make it worth seeing this once.

The bumblebee prequel movie was also shown to investors as TF6, so it was both internal and external.

And yes, Rise of the Beasts is officially also known as Transformers 7.

THIS. So much this.
For me, not having such a chase scene in DOTM ruined the entire movie for me. For F sake, Prime had his trailer and Megs had the coolest vehicle mode ever.
...Both totally WASTED in the movie by being present for barely a few seconds and SEPARATELY.
:BANG_HEAD:

I will agree with this too. The Dreads chase scene was a great fun time, but we need more proper alt mode chase battle scenes

The director of Transformers 7 Rise of the Beasts, Steven Caple Jr, has revealed some hot casting news for his movie. Pete Davidson (who was in SNL, The Suicide Squad, and Kim Kardashian) will be playing Mirage while Michelle Yeoh (from Everything Everywhere All At Once, Crazy Rich Asians and Tomorrow Never Dies) will be playing Airazor. Both are currently recording their voices for the film and we even have footage which shows what kind of voice Pete Davidson will be dong as he grunts.
