Transformers: The Last Knight Bumblebee, Barricade, Hot Rod, and More

So let me get this straight....In this movie, there is an Aston Martin Trasnformer, a McLaren transformer, and now a classic Citroën transformer?! You've got me on the hook, Bay. Don't disappoint me.

I never really care much about cars (I can't even drive) but then these movies make them look like the most gorgeous things ever.

oh my Lord i really hope that db-11 is a bot, i need a figure that turns into a db-11.

So. Many. Nice. Cars.

I'm totally in the same boat. Me and My dad's favorite car. Welcome to Seibertron, btw!

You're not wrong

American police car (not a werewolf) in London, I'm sure that's a common sight.

Not such a great disguise there Barricade, maybe you should have reformatted a bit.

But it looks so awesome, plus, I don't think at this point any of them care about hiding, not with some of the flashy alt. modes they've chosen

You think that's weird, check out Hound's cutting-edge disguise (bet he doesn't look out of place at all in London):

On this glorious Sunday afternoon, it's once again time for some Transformers: The Last Knight news.

To start us off, Tyrese Gibson has been fairly quiet about his role in the new movie, but this past week was kind enough to post a picture on his Facebook page showing the front cover of a script where he and Mark Wahlberg have a London scene together.


Up next is Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, which appears to be the castle meant to be King Arthur's Castle. Filming took place during both the day and the night, and you can check out those photos, courtesy of the Transformers Instagram, below.












Also as a little touch, a photo was snapped of Mark Wahlberg, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Freya the no-longer lonely dog, who appears to be Mr Hopkins companion, and mo-cap actor, which the past says is Sqweeks but rumor has it that it is someone else entirely. Check out the image below.

One thing i never thought of.....seeing as they seem to be going back to King Arthur times....& i take it some of the Transformers will be going back to that era!......there isn't or wasn't much in the way of roads back then, so unless the TF's happen to be either off road vehicles, a tank or an aircraft/helicopter, then there's gonna be an awfuly lot of Transformers walking/running about without the use of their alt modes, during those scenes

Btw i spotted something familiar in this picture(& i don't mean Bee or the name of the store, try looking at the reflection in the window of Daniel store! is it? could it be? )

If you're referring to the emergency vehicle, that is not Sentinel Prime. It is probably just an emergency vehicle there for safety reasons

Stonehenge? Newcastle? Rievaulx Abbey? It's like Michael Bay is working his way through the locations of my British vacation.

I can only imagine how terrified the English Heritage workers at Rievaulx Abbey were when they heard who wanted to film there.

It's a Michael Bay film, there needs to be at least four firetrucks and 2 ambulances on standby at any one point during filming.

Nooooo! the crane! the green one! is it Hook?

That looks like a piece of filming equipment

Almost certainly not. This is Michael Bay. Maybe if it had flames, spikes, horns and transformed into a monster truck/Godzilla hybrid, then it could be Hook.

I gotta go with the dump on this one. (ew...)

I wouldn't hold my breath fro it being Hook. Bay and crew already botched the Constructicons back in ROTF.

That WOULD be pretty epic though. He did have Bonecrusher not as a Constructicon. I don't think this is a Transformer though.

Also even if it was a Transformer, there's already a green decepticon construction vehicle with a hook confirmed for the movie

Or all the scenes set in medieval times are flashback scenes, like we saw happen in all four previous movies with every scene set in the past being a flashback from the present.

Fellow Seibertronians, interesting news for Transformers: The Last Knight has been revealed in the form of an IndieWire.com article. It would seem that Transformers: The Last Knight is being shot using ARRI Alexa 65 6K camera's. The first film to use these specialized camera's was Captain America: Civil War and is being used to film Marvel's Doctor Strange and The Avengers: Infinity War parts 1 and 2. So what do you make of this? It would seem Micheal Bay is poised to take the spectacle of the Transformers movies to new heights with these camera's. Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Heh, I saw the thumbnail pic and thought it was a Transformer toy (after having just come from the Legends thread with that crappy Titans Ravage toy). Some modern take on Reflector or something I dunno. Anyways I know nothing about that camera but the Transformers series are the only series where I have every movie on Blu Ray cos they look bloody gorgeous (and plus I love analyzing all the HD details of those beautiful robots especially when painting up the figures to be more accurate) so if it makes them films look even better then great.

I wouldn't've considered a tow truck(as we all know is Onslaught btw) as a construction vehicle but....whatever

so did I until I read title didn't know naming cameras is same as giving hurricanes as long movie is entertaining to see not boring don't care what type equipment he uses I know nothing about it

Paramount Pictures have uploaded a new video from the set of Transformers: The Last Knight, and this new video shows off the softer side of filming. The video stars Freya, formerly Britian's Loneliest Dog, walking around the set and taking part in some filming along with in-movie master Sir Anthony Hopkins. Some of the staff for Transformers: The Last Knight talk about Freya and how she is doing in the filming, and everyone seems to agree that she is a great addition and loved by the set. You can check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

I love dogs, and this hit me in the soft spot.

Who loves animals, loves life, Mr Bay is a great person.

That's a great outcome for the dog. Nice work.

Now, on to the video.

The WW1 tank appears to be following Hopkins' character, reminiscent of a dog. I'm assuming there will be a gag in there about how the dog is better behaved than the tank character. Oh... did I hear that Kup may be a character in this movie? If so, could this tank be Kup? Grizzled old soldier.... possible memory problems.... riffing on traits from the G1 and IDW universes, perhaps?

Kup as a tank is a fun idea I never thought of before, come to think of it. Probably because he's always some variant of a pickup truck (I mean, it is in his name). But a tank kinda fits his character. The Tankup.

I wonder who Bay will have the dog hump.

Hopefully a raging fanboy still upset over Bay's involvement.

Hey man; I can't stand the movies and at times I can't stand the guy... but when it's dogs, it's dogs. I love dogs. I didn't even watch the video and I love this news post. Dogs.

Ok, I constantly question Michael Bay's directing, but I'm glad to know he has a good heart, the movie will most likely be a trainwreck, but I'm deeply touched by this :')

Aww. I only woke up a lil while ago and that's made my morning all smiley.

Is it too much to ask for Hasbro to include a lil Freya figurine with a TLK Transformers figure?

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/s ... tika-flags

... did no-one actually think to say to Bay "you know, maybe there would be a better place to film this particular sequence. Like, any other building in the world". I'm racking my brains here because I'm trying to think if they could actually have chosen a more controversial location. This is just atrocious.

(also there's nazis in the knight-themed movie... okie dokie then)

That's impressively stupid!

...okay. I have a challenge for you all. Find as many Transformers news articles as you can that cast it in a positive light.

Seibertronians, multiple news sources from the U.K. are reporting that Transformers: The Last Knight has continued filming in England by turning a home owned by Winston Churchill and his estate into Nazi Headquarters.

Yes, they have turned "Blenheim Palace", the early seventeen hundreds castle which was the birthplace of the WWII hero, into a recreation of Hitler's main HQ, with large Swastika flags and reportedly SS soldiers on the grounds.

This desicion has drawn some controversy from many communities, but what do you think? Do you find this to be in poor taste? Are you offended, or think it is alright? Tell us in the discussion below.

And, more to the point, how do you think Nazis will play into the Last Knight story? Escpecially considering the movie is already featuring the modern day and King Arthur-era time periods.

Check out a before and after compiarison of the castle below.




And, as always, keep it right here, in seibertron.com for all the latest Transformers: The Last Knight news.

That just seems in poor taste to me.

As long as I get to see Hound punt a Nazi and yell MERICA, then I'm fine with it.

JazZeke wrote:That just seems in poor taste to me.

Yeah, I feel the same.

"I want to turn a english castle into a Nazi base...Wait, no, I want to turn one of the biggest heroes of WWII's castle into a Nazi base."

And, in all honesty, I find extreme interest in the World Wars. I think the technological advances were amazing, I just find it interesting. And I love period renacted documentaries about them, so seeing the second picture is kind of cool to me in a way??? Not in a "I'm a Neo-Nazi" kind of way, but in a historical way? With the lights and smoke and such. I think they totally should have gone with a different castle, but seeing it like that is facinating.

Ooh, boy, minefield there.

What is this movie even anymore?!


I'm assuming at this point time travel HAS to be a thing. I know people have been claiming that forever, but I just don't see how Merlin, Nazis, and alien space robots disguised as police cars could otherwise fit together.

I disagree. I think it'll play out like the beginning of the first National Treasure movie, where a treasure or artifact goes through the hands of many legendary groups. It's something created by the transformers, that the Arthurians were protecting. Fast forward a few hundred years, and The Nazi's seized it during an attack on england, and then it goes on from there. Time travel's a possibility, too.

Carnivius_Prime wrote:Is it too much to ask for Hasbro to include a lil Freya figurine with a TLK Transformers figure?

Yes Please

I came here to submit this news!

I think it's sort of in poor taste, but you have to wonder which twat at blenheim signed off on the idea.

In a major case of terrible luck, Churchill has been added to the new plastic £5 notes, which entered circulation for the first time this month, so Churchill's legacy has been particularly high profile of late.

Paramount really screwed the pooch on this one. And it's a shame people will level criticism at hasbro and the transformers brand as a result. PR nightmare even though they had nothing to do with it.

Bay: "Hey you know what'd be a good idea?"

Location scout: "Um...what?"

Bay: "I want to film part of the pointless flashback sequence in Nazi headquarters in Germany!"

Location scout: "Certainly Mr. Bay, I'll get on the phone with our people to find a place in Germany."

Bay: "Nah, don't worry, I found a nice mansion here."

Location scout: "Huh? Where? Like one of those hidden gem manor houses-?"

Bay: "What? No, I found this cool place called Blenheim Palace, it's famous!"

Location scout: "...You want to film what was the center of one of the most horrifying events in history in the home of the man who directed almost every effort against it and is still considered a heroic figure in history?!"

Bay: "Yeah! Why? Is that a problem?

Location scout:
