We have more pictures from the vehicles on the set of Transformers 5 The Last Knight in Phoenix, Arizona. These images are courtesy of our friend marvel-junky, who previously sent us images which you can view here and here.

In this set of pictures, we get to see several military vehicles, including a Mercedes Benz medical military vehicle which has some interesting bumper stickers on it such as "gun control means using both hands", some government looking Suburbans which have a symbol on the driver side door that looks like an upside down roman numeral 5 "V" used in one of the logos for TF5 (or it could just be a symbol and I'm reading too much into its usage), a damaged version of one of those Suburbans as well as some other damaged vehicles on a flatbed, Michael Bay's filming vehicle (the Porsche Cayenne if I recall correctly), a humvee (?), and some other vehicles.

How these vehicles will be used in the movie and whether or not any of them are an actual Transformers character remains to be seen.

Apparently this was the last day of TF5 filming in Phoenix. From here, the movie production is moving to Flagstaff, Arizona. Hopefully someone will be able to send us some additional content from there.

Special thanks again to our friend marvel-junky for sending these photos to Seibertron.com for us to share with all of you.

Oh, man! Hound's bumper stickers are amazing! I love how the designer isn't too freaked out about gun control as to refuse a character like this stickers like he has! Hound better not have such a gut design and I am all for it. The alt mode looks a little cooler this time.

Oh yeah, and Hasbro? Give us a leader class figure to go along with Prime.

This was just one shooting location and hence likely just one or two scenes where they were doing some sort of car chase or escort or the like. Other scenes will more than likely have other vehicles.

The front page says, "The Last Knight's Last Day in Phoenix." More like the, "The Last Knight in Phoenix." Get it? Be honest, you can tell if my joke is corny, I won't bite.

Anyway...

The upside down "V" means ally forces in the military. Now, I'm guessing that the crew was filming a part of a chase scene with some action, and to get some good visuals as well. Nothing but the usual :michaelbay:

Keep in mind that the military stuff is often more CGI than practical in action scenes - they weren't flying an F-22 Raptor into cities for Starscream's scenes in the TF 1-3 shoots!

(That said, the amount of military vehicles does seem to have slowly decreased as the series has gone on, so wouldn't be too surprising if TF5 is mostly street legal.)

We have a pair of news for you tonight involving the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight movie.

The first set of news comes from a tweet written by Mitch Pileggi, whom stated that he had filmed Transformers with Michael Bay recently. He was not willing to tell us what part he played in the filming, and the context of his tweet suggests his part is already done. You can see his tweet mirrored below. Pileggi is best known for his role as Walter Skinner in The X-Files.

Had the extreme pleasure of working on the new Transformers movie with @michaelbay. It's fascinating watching this cat work.

The second set of news regards another image from filming, but this time it appears that the Decepticon drone fighters seen in both Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction may be making another appearance. The images were captured by the transformers_contributions and posted on their Instagram page. Check out the images below, along with a comparison shot from the previous movies:

So what do you make of these latest news pieces? Let us know in the comments section below, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries.

Thanks to Fox News we have a way that you can possibly end up in the next Transformers movie! Transformers: The Last Knight will be filming in Detroit for the next 8 weeks, and extras are needed. Maryellen Aviano was actually part of an interview with Fox, announcing the call for extras. The story has been mirrored below for you to check out. You can also watch her interview by clicking on the above link to go to the original story.

(WJBK) - The Transformers are returning to Detroit this summer. The next movie in the Transformers franchise is being filmed partly in Detroit -- and the crew is looking for some local flare.

They have an open casting call for extras. Maryellen Aviano joined us in studio to tell us more about the casting call. You can watch the interview in the video player above, or get the details below.

She says those who are interested should email transformers5extras@gmail.com. Things to include in the email are a recent photograph of yourself and your stats (height, contact info, schedule, etc.) She said most extras will be for those 18 and older, but there may be some spots available for 16-18 year olds.

Extras needed for 'Transformers 5' filming in Detroit
The crew is fresh off filming in the Arizona desert, and will be in Detroit for the next eight weeks. That's the longest they'll be filming at any location for the movie.

"We're trying to hire as many local people in every capacity that we can," Aviano said. "[Director] Michael Bay loves Detroit and loves the iconic landmarks and the architecture."

She said Mark Wahlberg and Josh Duhmel are back for the film, as well as Anthony Hopkins.

"It's just going to be a really great time while we're here," she said.

The fifth installment in the franchise is reportedly titled "Transformers: The Last Knight." IMDB says it's due out in June of 2017.

If I did a Transformer voice, it'd probably have to either sound like a very evil-sounding Starscream-esc voice, Soundwave, or a cowboy.

Also that thing above looks like some sort of turd made out of Batman's tumbler.

Remember last week when we posted some potential plot spoilers and you were told to take them with a grain of salt? Well, a part of those rumors appears to have gained a little more traction.

So...

The Transformers Twitter page posted a behind-the-scenes 15 second video, and within that video Mark Walhberg is shown taking a nap with Micheal bay impatiently waiting for him to wake up. But as the camera man passes by Bay, an interesting exchange takes place, where the man behind the camera says:

"Hey Bay, I got Squeaks"

and Bay responds:

"Hey, Squeaks. Wait for Mark Wahlberg to wake up."

As the rumor stated last week, there is a new character with the name "Squeaks" so is this confirmation of this part of the rumor? Check out the video on their Twitter page by clicking HERE and let us know what you think in the comments section, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries.

Fellow Seibertronian Deadput brings us some more Transformers: The Last Knight news this fine day, with source including usual suspects Transformers Cars on Facebook, Mlive.com. The contents? Crosshairs in vehicle mode - is this confirmation to his return? - and some more shots of the drones and the Detroit location being set up. Check it all out below!

An array of giant metallic contraptions have landed at the long-vacant Packard Plant as preparations are being made for the filming of the next "Transformers" movie.

Among the crumbling concrete of the sprawling former Detroit automotive plant, scenes for the fifth Transformers movie, staring Mark Wahlberg, are beginning to take shape.

Two Chicago Transit Authority trains are positioned as if they careened off their artificial rail lines, and giant gears and machinery lie in pieces around the set.

Well, at least it's a practical set piece for the actors to interact with rather than a purely CGI creation.

Posted by Emerje on June 22nd, 2016 @ 4:18pm CDT

I assumed when the rumor mentioned British Transformers and talk about location scouting around Stonehenge they'd be found in the UK somewhere. But it looks like Squeaks, an apparently rusty blue Vespa (makes sense), is right in Detroit.

Also there goes the theory on those being code names for familiar characters like they did in the previous movies.

EDIT: Oh Crap! It's T-Bob! M.A.S.K. crossover confirmed! (Not really.)

Remember, the original "Megatron Will Return" message was from a different image of a Decepticon symbol with glowing red eyes.

Paint, probably, Optimus has it as well.

Anyway, I took a second and adjusted the brightness on the image. Pretty interesting round head, almost G1 shaped.

Seibertronian Deadput has been on fire today. His most recent find for us to news revolves around a new and better image of the head that has been rumored to be Megatron! Micheal Bay uploaded this new image on his Flicker account, and it shows off more of the head and even manages to tease the upper chest/neck area just below the head. Seibertronian Emerje even took the time to adjust the lighting so that we could get a better look at the character.

Bayverse, IMO, has dropped the ball so many times with Megatron's appearances that I'm weary of investing any effort into 'anticipating' how they will screw up with him next....

Unicron is the worst thing they could do especially since he is a one dimension character from the start Unicron should be one of the last villains because they do him now what are they going to do next?

Re: Photos from final day of Transformers 5 filming in Phoenix, AZ (1799769)
Posted by Emerje on June 22nd, 2016 @ 11:47pm CDT

A giant threat like Unicron would be the perfect villain for when they get around to doing a big Hasbro universe movie. It would definitely give them a cause to come together and fight against including ROM from deep space.
