Man, that Cybertron Con sure looks awesome. Not only do they have arguably the bigger Titans Return Reveals (Trypticon and Sixshot) but they also get an actual behind the scenes video of Michael Bay walking us through a scene he is shooting. This video was being filmed live in an enormous set for an underwater scene in a submarine with Mark Wahlberg. Even people who are just fans of movie making in general would get a kick out of it. You get a great idea of the insane scope of a film like this. I myself was very surprised with the amount of actors who stay on the set even if a scene does not have them (though it may simply be for this special live video), like Josh Duhamel who stops by to say hi. An even more interesting tidbit is an actress in full on motion capture which surprised Mark Walhberg's character while he is injured on the sub. Which CG character could that be? One last interesting note on a filming standpoint is how long the scene actually plays out and how Michael Bay would rather keep the actors working to get it right, rather than cut. The takes last longer than the shots, thanks to multiple cameras being used, which helps keep actors within character and cuts on continuity errors.

Regardless of how the story in these films play out, it is undeniable that Michael Bay runs a tight ship and seeing him at the centre of such an immense project, yet also being able to be up close and personal with the scenes being filmed gives you a good idea of why he keeps getting these projects. We were made aware of this video by fellow Seibertronian SlyTF1.

I dont know where you got that, there is no submarine transformer confirmed. Its just a scene that takes place in a sub.

I am a very big non-fan of the Bayverse TF designs.

In my head canon, anything that looks remotely the way the Cybertronians in the Bayverse SHOULD be cosmic powered, or have some mystical qualities.

If not, they are just weak ugly fodders (robotic or otherwise) to be either smashed by the incredible Hulk, or be blown to bits by the Sentry.

You see the designs in Titans Return or Combiner Wars? Or any of the 3D games? Now THOSE are Cybertronians!!

Good opinion beyonder and i can see why you don't like the designs due to being different.

But difference between the movies and the new titans return/combiner wars/ recent games designs is that at least the movies have imagination to make something new and not a rehash of an old 30 year design.

But seriously unless it's a new character then nothing generations gives us is remotely new or creative and has to rely on reusing the basic blocky designs just with a different twist.

Not that it's bad but at least the movies try to move the brand forward and not bumble around in the past.

While I love innovation and have no problems with the movie designs I think a lot of people expected the g1 designs to be used as they were the most well known. Now bay has said why the art took the direction it did and he's right, would people of liked prime looking exactly like his g1 version doing all the things the movie prime does?

Still, it seems some people can't separate the characters from all incarnations and just let them be their own characters.

Besides, are these designs any weirder than what we got from beast machines or what we would of got in trans tech?

Even though it was seen in Times Square already, the art for the poster for The Last Knight officially gets released:

A number of sources and fans are reporting the release of the official poster art for the upcoming (next year) Transformers: The Last Knight live-action movie from Paramount, with Michael Bay once again at the helm and a very active marketing team - as we have seen these past months! We had seen the art feature on a billboard in Times Square, New York, but check it out again from Paramount direct below, as Optimus Prime squares off against a three-headed dragon thing!

very curious about the

logo on the flag, probably just part of the marketing but would be kinda cool if its for an elite group of Cons. the dragon thing looks like its just a bunch of the "transformium"(or whatever they called it)from AoE.

Of course they are. He's just saying which kind of Cybertronian design he personally prefers the look of, and that the ones that look like the movieverse kind should, in his opinion, be a more special and magical type of Cybertronians instead the ordinary type that they are in the movies.

New Seibertronian ElitaOnePrime has shared some images with us from Michigan, where a surprise Transformers: The Last Knight convoy appeared - her husband used Camera, and it was super effective! Check out the images we were sent below, as Optimus Prime in his Age of Extinction garbs, the Decepticon rusty Volkswagen van, some British numberplated jeep, and some military vehicles, all take a casual stroll down 96 in the Lansing area.

My husband and Son( who's 9) are Visiting My brother in Law in Michigan this week, Yesterday, they spent hours walking around Downtown Detroit hoping to catch some filming or some such evidence, to no avail Today they are headed to a water park while Traveling west on 96 near Lansing, Michigan they saw this.

Just a side note My husband and are are HUGE fans, my 9yr old could name the Autobots before he could say his ABC's

If it isn't Hound....could that military vehicle be Breakdown(TF Prime) as it sure looks similar to his vehicle mode.

There's no insignia on the grey military truck, so it isn't likely to be a tf >:oP

That doesn't matter.

Besides, altmode type is rarely ever a determining factor of character identity for the movies.

Comment by Kurona Aug 2, 2016

Yeah, like, aside from Evasion Mode Optimus I don't think there's a single character whose alt mode has matched up with their original incarnation - even in cases where, say, Bumblebee is still a car; it's a different type of car.
Which is fun, because it's nice to see new vehicle modes as long as it keeps to the spirit of the character. I actually prefer Ironhide having a pickup truck alt-mode to his G1 van mode.
