In a rather different spot of news than what we're used to for Transformers: The Last Knight, a couple of real-life cars mocked up to resemble Barricade and Bumblebee from the upcoming movie were put out onto German streets - then promptly towed away by the local Police! This bit of ironic justice for Barricade occurred due to the two cars not being street safe; with multiple modifications to the cars breaking Germany's road laws. Whoops! Check out the images, the official statement from the Police and the English translation of the latter below and tell us what you think of this news in the forums!
+++ #Transformers benötigen ein Update +++
Da haben #Bumblebee und #Barricade die Rechnung wohl ohne unsere stahlharten Kolleginnen und Kollegen gemacht als sie sich gestern durch Charlottenburg bewegten. Beide stolperten gegen 12 Uhr auf der Bismarckstr. in Charlottenburg in eine Verkehrskontrolle unserer Abschnitte 24 und 25.
Da es auf dem Planeten #Cybertron sicher keine StVZO gibt, hatten beide ordentlich Ärger im Gepäck.
Wen wundert es da, dass sowohl der „Autobot“ als auch der „Decepticon“ bauliche Veränderung hatten, die liegen ihnen ja quasi in der Getriebeflüssigkeit. Die Liste war lang, neben Fahrwerk, Reifen und Beleuchtung schienen auch beide Auspuffanlagen eindeutig starke Mängel zu haben. Zudem hatte #Barricade eine „Verletzung“ an der hinteren Achse. Wie es zu dem gefählichen Ölverlust kam, wollte er uns nicht sagen. Aber den Verdacht auf ein „Optimus Crime“ gab es nicht.
Mit Hilfe unserer Abschleppticons haben wir beide zum Planeten „Dekra“ gebracht. Hier gesellen sie sich zu ihren anderen Stahlkumpels und warten auf ein irdisches Gutachten. Die Prüfanstalt ist zwar nicht Cybertron aber dafür sind sie dort die einzigen ihrer Spezies.
Kleiner Pluspunkt, wenigstens Bumblebees Beifahrer „Wheelie“ war angeschnallt. Der besorgte Blick ist begründet:
- Die Teilnahme an der Filmpremiere nächste Woche dürfte gefährdet sein.
- Auf die Halter (39 und 27 Jahre) warten zudem Bußgeldverfahren und die Kosten des Gutachtens.
+++ #transformers need an update +++
#Bumblebee and #barricade didn't take the bill without our forged colleagues when they moved through charlottenburg yesterday. Both stumbled at 12 am on Bismarck str. In Charlottenburg in a traffic control of our sections 24 and 25.
Since there are no stvzo on the planet #cybertron, they both had a lot of trouble in their luggage.
Who is surprised that both the " Autobot " and the " Decepticon " have had structural change, they are basically in the fluid. The list was long, along with chassis, tyres and lighting, both exhaust systems seemed to be clearly deficient. In addition, #barricade had an "injury" on the rear axle. As it came to the dangerous superior, he didn't want to tell us. But there was no suspicion of " Optimus crime
With the help of our tow icons, we've both brought you to the planet " Dekra Here you join your other steel mates and wait for an earthly opinion. The facility is not cybertron but they are the only species in their species.
Small plus, at least bumblebees passenger "wheelie" was fastened. The concerned look is justified:
- participation in the, next week should be at risk.
- the holders (39 and 27 years) are also waiting for of and the cost of the report.

Since when do police release a statement that is humorous? And im assuming that germany has similar laws to the US banning civilians from driving a car with the words "police" on it in the streets, so I doubt these cars were driven in. They even had the hoods up for display purposes so they were obviously towed in and parked with somebody's permission to attract business. Im calling fake on the whole police report thing. The cops were probably actors and towing the cars away was a big publicity stunt. Suprised you news guys believed this was a legit auto impounding. Cmon now...

'fraid it's real. Charges are listed, laws broken are listed, etc. and there's been nothing to the contrary. If this does indeed turn out to be confirmed as a big PR stunt, we'll post an updated story to reflect that - but right now, everything's saying this is real.
Should have linked the actual facebook post though. Editing!

China film insider has found proof that the Chinese version of the film Transformers: The Last Knight will be longer than the English version, by 2 minutes. We have the specific quote below and you can read the full article here.
An official distribution notice sent to Chinese exhibitors was released online Thursday showing a running time of 150 minutes for the film — two minutes more than the 148-minute version playing in the rest of the world. It’s unclear what the extra two minutes in the Chinese version includes.

Domestic air carrier based in Guangxi China, GX Airlines, is involved in a promotional campaign with Transformers: The last Knigh. Their Airbus plane has been fully decorated both inside and outside with Last Knight motifs, especially Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. These photos were found on news.haohaoyun.com.

Fellow Seibertronian Clockwork Animation has sent us notification of two more spots for Transformers: The Last Knight, featuring some added footage of the Decepticon crew in the movie (with Megatron 'introducing' Mohawk and Dreadbot) among other things, and Chinese subs and final announcement from YouXin.
The other clip is another of the 'funnies' from the marketing team, riffing on Bumblebee's lack of actual speech in a singing recording session. Check them both our below!

It's just edited shorter like that for the spot but presumably it will be correct in the movie.
Also notice how Dreadbot doesn't have any of the Rusty van kibble in that scene?

I don't know witch part is the most shocking here... Megatron making "deal" with Humans? Megatron actually knowing some of his soldiers? Megatron actually leading? As awkward as circumastances are ,it actually seems that this time they try to give Decepticons some characterisation.

Not really feeling the name "Dreadbot", it sounds like an early pre-production name. This is one of those instances where I wouldn't have minded a name-slap, even the name of some lesser known Armada Mini-Con would do.

His name was apparently supposed to be "Hooligan" but it was probably changed for the same reason Slag has been renamed into Slug since Hooligan is an inappropriate word in some places.
Dreadbot was probably made up in a hurry.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Prowl4, Seibertron can give the exclusive news that actor and comedian Omar Sy will be voicing the autobot Hot Rod in the upcoming movie The Last Knight! This news comes thanks to the aforementioned Prowl4's twitter conversation with Sy, where the latter gives a very definite 'yes'. Tell us if you're excited for this casting choice in the forums!

2 extra minutes sounds like that might cover credits for Chinese voice actors if they've dubbed the thing. I don't know if they dub or sub movies there. I wouldn't think it would take 2 mins to credit them for subs.

Im still calling BS....
Even if thats the offical Facebook page of a particular German police department, a Facebook page is not a place for police to post pictures of actual "crime" photos no matter how funny the case might seem. It would have to be treated like any other regular case to avoid a potential lawsuit. I wouldnt rely on Facebook as an official format to find public records either. Can we get a case number from an offical German public records website ? Also if German laws are anything like American laws, you can put any type of modification on a car without fear of being "confiscated" as long as you dont actually drive it. Thats where we get the term "street legal". You see non-street legal cars being towed to car shows or race tracks all the time. The cars were parked with their hoods up for display. They can be ticketed for non-moving violations but will not be towed unless it is a parking violation. Among the humorous charges mentioned in the article, being illegally parked was not mentioned. Also among the four photos posted, not one of them has a police officer and the tow truck picture conveniently doesnt show the company name. And to make it even more ovious the cars are being carefully lifted on the tow truck by a crane. Such care isnt taken when you park illegally. Thats some expensive equipment surely used to transport showcars to specific locations. Here's my take on it: Some bored cop who happens to be a TF fan started taking pictures on duty and posted a humorous story on the departments Facebook page to have some fun. Real pictures, fake news...

These Transformers films are quite intensive for Mark Wahlberg. With him having to train 5 months for this film, and this rumoured to be the final Transformers film from Michael Bay, it doesn't come as quite a shock that he has stated it would be his last one. He said so on the Graham Norton show and states that with these films behind him he can get his life back. This was pulled from a recount of the interview by Digital Spy.

Hopefully they got Marky Mark to sing "The Touch" before he was done.

Yes it is and it would explain why it seems that only Nitro and Megatron are at the final battle

While you could have watched the Transformers: The Last Knight London Premiere live, we have many photos to share from this event that come from both Michael Bay's Flickr account and the official movie Instagram account. The images feature the cast, including Michael Bay, Laura Haddock, Isabela Moner, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Jerrod Carmichael, Freya the Dog, Josh Duhamel, plus of course, Sqweeks, Hound, Hot Rod, Drift and Optimus Prime.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I think it's being billed that way because it's Bay's last movie.
... is what I'd say if I wasn't cynical as heck and they just want it to sound EVEN MORE EPIC AND IMPORTANT

But they used this "The Final Chapter" thing already... Twice. Bay is leaving Transformers since 2011, why we should take this now seriously.
Right now, I'm waiting for another "Michael Bay changed his mind" news. I wonder what can it be this time
After 10 years, Transformers without Micheal Bay sounds almost too good to be true. Even if we are watining for a better director since before first movie was relased.

Well the next film is being made by the director of an Oscar nominated film so you are getting your wish.

Well, Bumblebee's spin-off isn't technically a main "Transformers" movie, so there is a risk, that until Transformers 2019, Michael Bay will decide to return, or that they decide to hire Jonathan Liebesman or someone similiar, so so movie would remain essentialy the same.

HELL NO! And I wouldn't want J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon, or any other overrated self-important d-bag. Bring on someone who actually does science fiction for science fiction, not to try to simply achieve nerdgasms on screen. Too bad James Cameron is busy with the Avatar sequels. What is Ridley Scott doing? He's done with Alien and Blade Runner by now. Is he starting another Alien prequel so soon?william-james88 wrote:TurboMMaster wrote:Well, Bumblebee's spin-off isn't technically a main "Transformers" movie, so there is a risk, that until Transformers 2019, Michael Bay will decide to return, or that they decide to hire Jonathan Liebesman or someone similiar, so so movie would remain essentialy the same.
