Oh! I know how they'll make Churchill a hero in this movie! He'll be the one whose able to pull the sword from the stone and defeat the Nazis with Excalibur! In this movie, King Arthur will defeat Hitler because it will be revealed that Churchill is King Arthur!
I'm scared they might actually do this.
Oh come on now. That would be awesome.
That would be awesome. If we got to see some Combiner rip big ben out of the ground and hit another bot with it, we'll of checked off everything that needs to happen in a Transformers movie in Britain.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, Mark admitted that by announcing there would be mini-dinobots in the upcoming sequel he had ‘already revealed too much’ but that fans should also expect ‘a few other surprises’.
The film currently has confirmed autobots, decepticons, mini-dinobots, King Arthur, Nazis – and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Though I guess they could have expanded the idea and come up with some other sorts of smaller scale Dinobots too.

They are really trying to tie a lot in on this film. I hope the writing is way better than it has been. Bay isn't exactly known for doing projects with a lot of depth.

Michael learned it by watching YOU!
'80s comedy sequels that destroy Stonehenge inspire '80s-toy-franchise-based movies that destroy Stonehenge.
The more you know.

Also, since the picture brought it up, why does Michael Bay do those explosions that just look like fireworks? The one's with the spark trails? They just look cheap and very deliberately like a pyrotechnic stunt.

Considering the movies barrow mainly from G1 it's more likely Stonehenge is Vector Sigma and Excalibur is the key.

I've always wondered that too. There are other directors that use practical explosions that look like real, malicious explosives going off (as they should), but Bay's always look like fireworks.

Which is funny, considering the man we're dealing with, you'd think there would be nothing but giant gratuitous gasoline explosions.

Between Tyrese Gibson, returning for the fifth movie, on Instagram and Mark Wahlberg on his own Twitter account, we have confirmation that the London portion of the filming is coming to an end, according to schedule - and they had a brief stop in Paris too.
Isabela Moner is clearly enjoying shooting this movie way too much, almost as much as the social media team who convinced Anthony Hopkins to play around with camera filters. I am not sure how to take this. It's mesmerizing.
Emma Lambert, a fellow Transformers fan, was able to visit the set in London during filming, and has provided extensive coverage on her Twitter and Instagram feeds of the various vehicles for Hot Rod, Barricade, Bumblebee and the red MacLaren doing vehicle things, and a confirmation of the name of the Transformers Reaction Force (the one with the lambda/triangle symbol we've been seeing for a while).
Another fan, Arun09345, has been following the filming too, and kept their Instagram feed updated with images and clips of cameras being used on the Thames, and some Tower Bridge scenes from London, plus a slightly spoilery scene run-through for something big emerging from the river. Check them out below!
That's all for now, we will keep the front page updated with more news as it comes in, so stay tuned to Seibertron.com - in the meantime feel free to discuss this news and more in the Energon Pub!

OK, that's kinda dumb. I was never a big fan of the whole Omega Lock thing.
This is, what, the fifth Cybertronian artifact to appear on our planet (and moon). Sure, they always have an explanation, but are we some sort of magnet for lost Cybertronian technology?

Fourth. The Seed for AOE was a Cybertronian (kinda) relic that Lockdown sold to the humans in exchange for helping hunt down OP. But that is a good point. In TF:Prime, they actually had a good reason for all the relic appearing on Earth. Movieverse, while I find them more enjoyable than most do, doesn't actually have a reason why except coincidence.

Any plot and mythology will be quickly overlooked for more action and Mark Walhberg running. So I really dont think any of that matters. Does anyone here really watch these movies for its mythological world building aspect?
HAHAHAHA! No.
The Bay TF films are an action film power house meant to appeal to general film-going audiences if anything, but does call outs to appease the fans too simultaneously. That doesn't make the films entirely crap or devoid of merit though, they can be enjoyed as they are.
This is true, at least with me, I consider the films decent action flicks overall. So I enjoy them as action films and not specifically TF films. I have enjoyed some of the things they've used from G1 and modified to be less-cartoon like and more "edgier" for an action film. I appreciate those callouts and marriage of ideas between continuities. The Bay TF films aren't as epic as something like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars though and comparing them will always have one winding up short. You really can't compare the two here with what Bay does and his angle with it all. He's not a cerebral-story type of person, and that is painfully obvious because of the gratuitous explosions and lens flare. So, he's an action guy, and that's what these films are more or less - action films. The humor in the TF films is also a lot more juvenile, which isn't exactly bad, but not great, except maybe RotF Devastator's scrotum. That was pretty bad. My personal preference is for the TF films to go to a more cerebral route and thought provoking deal, but that will probably not happen for a while if at all ever.
My dream movie idea that will likely never get made: TF novel "Exodus" and IDW Megatron Origin modified considerably to be into a film and dealing with the build up of Optimus and Megatron and their respective rises to prominence and power.

Tragic short-shorts accident. Firemen tried to save her with the Jaws of Life, but it was already too late.

Drift not only never had his name said in movie, but was only shown transforming between car mode and robot mode once onscreen in the whole movie, and said transformation was only in the background obscured entirely by Bumblebee's own transformation, so we practically got to see none of Drift's car-to-robot transformation.william-james88 wrote:Kurona wrote:They don't have time to say "my daughter's away studying and her boyfriend went with her"?

His helicopter/robot transformations were shown onscreen, though.

I think it might have been said once. Don't remember where, but at least just once.o.supreme wrote:Come to think of it...I don't think they said Crosshairs name either did they?

I kid I kid. None of the dinobots were called by name either, too bad. I do still find it super weird how Optimus speaks to them in ancient cybertronian and yet they dont speak back to him, as if they cant speak at all.And then Optimus speaks to them in english, so I really wonder if there was even a point to speaking cybertronian.

Devastator/Brawl
Dino/Mirage
Que/Wheeljack
"Arcee Twins" (are actually Triplets...) but whatever

I'm pretty sure that was just a nickname he gave him, he wouldnt know the character's name. it's like if I see a dog I dont know and go, "come here Fido!".

The only time Drift's name was used was in the scene leading up to Galvatron's attack, and it was on the aerial viewscreen the humans were using.
Hound was used a good bit

YES, I do remember that part on the screen! No wonder it was odd to hear it hadnt been used. Since it was so clear there, but yeah it was never mentioned by anyone.
