lol, the notion of taking a trip to Detroit for any reason is pretty bad, but to do it in the hopes you might catch a glimpse of a movie being made... lolololol I'll stay north of 8 mile road, thanks.

But again: Transformers without Michael Bay sounds cool all by itself. So title isn't that important. But I'm sure that they figure somthing out.
I agree, especially the title here.

Who else in the Bay flicks knows anything about Transformers? Maybe Tyrese Gibson? So what's the difference here?

a) How can you possibly confirm that? b) How would general Transformers knowledge influence an actor here? It's not like being able to list Soundwave's cassettes would have any impact on character acting.VioMeTriX wrote:she doesn't even know anything about transformers, they should give the role to someone who knows something
A case could maybe be made for a VA voicing one of the TFs benefiting from knowledge of the franchise, although the only TFs with personalities similar to previous depictions are already voiced by legacy VAs.

Compare transformers movies to transformers animated series and comics but which comics and animated series you should ask beast wars, beast machines, victory force, head masters, generation one, each series is different in its own way with same motive from villain deceptions or predicons want to conquer earth kill off heroes which are maximals and autobots same theme in different series different look by each character and sometimes new names but outcome always remains same bad vs good good conquers evil

Which fits in nicely from where we left with Age of Extinction. Check out the embedded Instagram announcement below, too!

Seems like they're following thru on the utterly random knight theme, which is something. Given how such plot points as Prime and Megs being "brothers" or the Hatchlings went, I fully expected to never hear of the Knights again.
Purple eyes, hmm....

10/10 best TLDR I've seen in a while.
Not crazy about the subtitle nor the new font. A trailer would help me get excited for this.

While I don't have much attachment to the live actions, I've made peace with them. (Nice injection of cash into the franchise, too.) Low imagination action blockbuster, eh. I'm always open to being proven wrong, but I'll be waiting until I can catch it on Netflix or DVD or something, not enough engagement to watch in a theater.
