Josh Duhamel wrote:At the top of his work docket is, of course, his role as Lt. Colonel William Lennox in Michael Bay’s Transformers: The Last Knight. The day before we spoke, Mr. Duhamel was stationed to film his scenes 70 miles outside of Los Angeles in El Mirage, California. “I had never been there and it’s a trip,” he said of the far flung locale. “It’s this giant, flat lakebed with 40 MPH winds that didn’t stop all day, but Michael [Bay]’s set is unlike any other set. He has all of the gadgets and the coolest stuff, and the energy of that set is just really – well, it’s a spectacle, and it’s really changed my career. It’s helped me to pursue other little creative things. I love the big Transformer movies, but I also love these passion projects.”

Me too since you said that. I thought you were using reverse psychology to get more people to watch it.
So, can anyone here translate morse code?

Don't look at me, I couldn't learn a second language if I tried. Anyway, yeah, can anyone here translate that?

Boogeyman's kinda lame against Transformers even though he's stinkin terrifying in that new Boogeyman indie-game.

I think this means that we will be getting a tease or a look at the villain for Last Knight on the 31(currently the 28th when I am writing this) or maybe the movie will release on May 31 of what ever year. I definitely think we will be getting something on the 31 though.

Wait, wasn't Galvatron voiced by Leonard Nimoy? Maybe that forced them to go back to Megs rather than get a new voice actor and have them sound different (not that Galvatron really said anything in AoE ) I could see Galvatron 'shedding' his new human-given form and name and reclaiming his old name and Cybertronian body-style out of pride and vanity

No, no, Galvatron was voiced by Frank Welker. It was Nimoy in the G1 movie.

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm not really bothered because we have an amazing writing team taking on these movies.
That being said its never been the writing that's been an issue for me. It's the god awful editing! And I find enjoyment in all the movies but yeah, Bay in the editing room...yikes.
Megatron coming back Is interesting. His head(and maybe his body) are intact and what if we will get both Megatron and Galvatron and Galvatron is just a copy of Megatrons consciousness.

This thread is now awesome! I'm waiting for the point that studios decide to go the sitcom route and assume there is a reset button at the end of any episode rather than worry about pointless continuities that no one can keep straight.

Well, it wasn't a clone, it was Megatron, in a new body, his old body was pretty f'ed up by the end of dotm, so starting fresh with the body the humans gave him to start reformatting himself makes sense. In other words, they need the BW Stasis Chambers

Id be okay with that as long as we never get AOE transformations again. That was honestly my least favorite thing in that movie. human transformers AND the autobots. Even the autobots transformations haven't been great since DOTM. Everyone just morphs into robot mode. I still remember Sentinal Prime morphing into a fire truck at the end when he tried to fee Optimus. Just looks so bad compared to the transformations in the first two.
