Courtesy of fellow Seibertronian SlyTF1, we have from Movie Ticket seller Fandango seeming confirmation of the runtime for the latest Michael Bay Transformers movie, The Last Knight. The website's listing for the movie shows the runtime to be 2 Hours and 28 Minutes - a drop from Age of Extinction's 2 Hours 45 minutes and something we can seemingly trust as this is an official channel rather than a site like IMBD anyone can contribute to. Tell us in the the forums if this encourages or discourages you to see the fifth instalment in the series!

Which is way too damn short for me. I've always said that any movie that isn't at LEAST 2 hours and 30 minutes long is complete trash. I've watched a lot of movies, and it always disappoints me when they feel shorter than that.

But both the first movie and ROTF were under 2h30m and I thought you liked all the Bay movies? :???:

But I consider DOTM and AOE to far superior to the first 2. Especially AOE.

I'm ok with this. The 3D showing is late afternoon and if it runs much longer I might miss the last bus home back to my lil town (yeah the public transport is not great).

Two and half hours sounds like plenty TF fun for me while not leaving me stranded.

Well of course DOTM is the best "movie" in the franchise although it might not be the best "Transformers movie" for some.

Many of AOE's bits and flaws makes it the worse but is balanced out by the decent robot screen time even if their reduced to one liners mostly in a way it's almost the mirror of ROTF.

(Remember all of this is in my very own not so unique humble opinion)

For me the first one is still the best. There's still quite a number of problems - the lack of Sam's parents in future instalments is by far the greatest decision this series has ever made - but I found it a decent fun Summer popcorn-muncher for what it was. A not-overly complex story, a small contained Transforming cast which had simple understandable character traits and colour coding; and we still had actual human cannibal Shia LaBeouf. Nothing great but not something I'd hate to watch again.

Not sure which is my fave. First one had the biggest impact cos it was first time I finally saw the kind of Transformers I'd wanted to see since I was a kid. And it was probably the only time I can think of that I actually had a movie date. But yeah it also fully dragged me back into the TF world with it's toyline (Classics had caught my attention a bit and i had bought a few of those figures but it really was the movieverse that hooked me again). I think the one I've watched least is Revenge of the Fallen but even then I don't dislike it at all. It's got great action scenes including that classic forest fight and I really liked Jetfire. Dark of the Moon might possibly be my fave but I really loved Age of Extinction too. Oh I don't have to choose. I own all four on blu ray and I can't wait to watch this new one.

The first one is good as well so it comes as second fave for me.

I miss Jazz but I understand why he died since it would seem rather one sided if only Decepticons died but I would of brought in one or two Autobots like Longarm and some other b tier dude like Windcharger or Swerve to bite it and I probably would have added in Wreckage to fill out the final battle since Bonecursher and Frenzy were killed before the battle and Scorponok and Barricade disappeared and I also would have put in one scene of the Decepticons meeting to establish them as characters with English dialogue.

That would of made Jazz stick around for at least the original trilogy of movies although he probably would of bit it instead of Ironhide when Sentinel betrayed them but I hope Jazz appears in a prequel like the Bee movie to make up for his lack of time.

Well, CGI models cost a lot; and since this was before the series as a movie franchise was known to utterly annihilate the box office... extra characters like that likely wouldn't have made the budget.

The first has always been my least favorite, simply because the Cybertronians barely got any screentime. That, and I despise the teenage drama crap in the first half more than anything else in the entire franchise. Also, the whole scene with Sam looking for the glasses in his house is one of the most boring stretches of film I've seen in my entire life. I hate that whole Sector 7 sequence before Optimus shows up.

There were flaws yes but the first movie was a decent film overall in fact I feel like it only started to go down right after the Bonecusher and Frenzy fight since the final battle in that movie was bit of a cluster although it had some good moments like Jazz, Ironhide and Ratchet vs Brawl, Starscream vs Ironhide and Ratchet and Starscream's clever attack on the F-22's.

I do like how each of the cons were a threat in their own right although they could of used a scene like Rotf's Nemesis meeting and DOTM's Africa group thing which actually should have had Shockwave in that scene as well.

Well... Maybe just Longarm then because look at him dude he's the one Transformers design that just hits all of my aesthetic favorites him and ROTF Breakaway who I also wished were in the movies.

Even Stephan Spielberg wished he was in the movie! http://badflipblog.blogspot.ca/2009/10/tf1-tow-truck-drone-02.html

Weird cos I had both the Longarm and Breakaway toys but I didn't care for them much at all. Just had them at the time to boost the collection (and cos they were in the video games) way before I started culling things down due to space, money and other reasons. I did think Landmine was a pretty cool non-movie movie toy though.

Ah no the Breakaway toy is meh but the character himself looks great in the game and the concept art especially his baby face.

Video game Longarm is ok but his toy version is pretty great especially once you unscrew the gun off his hand so he can put it down.

https://twitter.com/RenoWilson/status/873167238362157056

Reno Wilson confirms that he is returning for The Last Knight!

He could be voicing Brains since as far as we know he is still alive and Wheelie is in the movie but he could always voice a new character like he did every film before AOE.

Rumors that are potentially true below which is semi relevant and also spoiler-ish but nothing major like deaths or plot.
I heard rumors from a "person" that Brains is mentioned in the film as well as Sideswipe but in what context I do not know, this guy apparently saw around 40 minutes of the film in a screening he did say that Bumblebee's voice was temporarily changed into a female as a "joke" a few days before the spot that we saw came on which he was right about since Bee spoke with Siri's voice, he also says that there is an Autobot from DOTM in Cuba with Simmons and plays soccer with him

A couple of news pieces regarding Transformers: The Last Knight have surfaced from a number of sources! First up, voice actor Reno Wilson - the voice of Frenzy, Mudflap, and Brains from previous movies - has been confirmed as returning to the fifth movie, in a yet undisclosed role.

Next, we have news of the Japanese dubbing for the movie - The Last Knight King, in translation - featuring Hanako Sakurai as Izabella (Isabela Moner's character), meaning that US production on the movie is indeed complete, and international distributors are working on their versions as I type.

And finally, keeping with humans, we have four new portraits from vk.transformers for the Earth side of the cast from the movie: Mark Wahlberg / Cade Yeager, Isabela Moner / Izabella, Laura Haddock / Vivian Wembly, Anthony Hopkins / Sir Edmund Burton. But also a couple profiles for Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, so you can now create your own photoshopped movie poster! Check them out below.

I hope it's not his name so people can get past that the names of the character has to mean something and not the characterization of them.

If he's a good character then it doesn't matter if his name was Wreck-Gar, Scrapheap or Pile-O-Garbage since he was a good character.

Just like how I don't personally care for the majority of Prime characters because their mostly badly written and how their "namesake" doesn't change my opinion.

The official website for Transformers: The Last Knight has added some set photos. A few of these have been seen before but there are some new ones. Some of the most interesting ones are Josh Duhamel with the military and Mark Wahlberg aiming his alien gun. (We don't think that is a very stable way to hold it though!) There is also a picture of Jarrod Carmichael and Isabela Moner looking startled at something, which makes us wonder what or who that something could be. Stay tuned!

The Daily Mail had interviewed Sir Anthony Hopkins about a number of different topics, including Transformers: The Last Knight. He seems to have enjoyed working on the film even though he does not know all of the lore about the series. It is very interesting to read his thoughts on the film.

Hopkins plays Sir Edmund Burton, the 12th Earl of Folgan, who has devoted his life to the study of the ancestries of humans and Transformers. He and Mark Wahlberg (as the hero Cade Yeager) team up to make an unlikely alliance to save the world from being destroyed by war between the Transformers and humans.

‘You’re not going to ask me to explain the plot are you?’ he says. ‘Because it’s so very complicated and there’s the whole mythology of four previous films that come into play. I have to admit, I don’t quite get all of it.

‘All I know is I play a highly educated, eccentric English lord. I had a terrific time making it. Mark Wahlberg was wonderful to work with, the locations were excellent [Northumberland, Norway, Arizona, the Isle of Skye and Stonehenge] and I showed up, put my costume on, said my lines and stayed out of trouble. That’s all I ever do. It beats working for a living.’

Hopkins is always at pains to destroy any smug ‘luvviness’ about the acting world. He loathes the painful intensity of the method actors, who insist on staying in character throughout filming (‘what a pain in the ass’) and repeats several times that ‘the greatest difficulty in this business is the sense of entitlement some people have just because of what they do’.

Included with the article is this photo of him with HotRod.

Via ParamountUK directly, we have another publicity stunt for Transformers: The Last Knight, riding on the fake historical photos - the secret past of the Transformers - we've seen show up in the rooms of Sir Edmund Burton (Anthony Hopkins) in the trailers. This specific one has a clip from Dulwich Picture Gallery, where the team added Ironhide to an 1815 painting, and the reaction of the crowd - check it out!

Also related to Transformers: The Last Knight - and following the recent news of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean hack issue - we have a snippet from a PGA event attended by producer Ian Bryce. The event saw PGA President Lori McCreary discussing the troubles with security for digital products, and the difference with print versions of the same. Check out the specifics below, and here for the whole piece!

McCreary, who admitted that her company had experienced a hack, urged caution and attention to this area, and Transformers: The Last Knight producer Ian Bryce agreed. “We don’t have prints,” he said. “We are sending [digital] footage [around the world to different countries], temp footage to final shots, and people are going to be after it. When you invested $150 million in a production, that’s risky.”

18th June premiere? That's a Sunday. I couldn't get to London even if I wanted to cos lack of public transport here on that day. Also I'd be knackered cos it's show week for my local production of Dad's Army and on that Saturday in particular is tiring cos we got an afternoon and evening performance then the clear out and aftershow party. And yet I bet I'll still cycle the 5 or 6 miles to the car boot sale at about 6am the Sunday morning cos I don't want to miss out on any potential Transformers bargains. I'll see The Last Knight when it's easily available in Cambridge (still a tough journey for me to make at times but is nearest cinema with the comfy chairs of comfiness) hopefully on the 22nd.

For those not wanting spoilers the first premier for the movie is tomorrow although I don't if there is an embargo or not regarding if people can talk about the movie.

So if I wanted to avoid everything I would stay off starting tomorrow or the next day.

Can I ask why the older generations hate movie designs so much, but people my age love them for technical bits and bobs? I mean, you'd think the older generations would like machine parts more. Guess it's nostalgia getting the best of people. And I guess I'm starting to convert to the Bayverse robits cult.

As for TLK, so far I get the vibe that it will be superior to RoTF and AoE, and on par with the original and DoTM.

I am most curious as to how they will reconcile having both Megatron and Galvatron.

is there proof of there being two individual characters?

my guess?

a stalwart and self-aggrandizing, Master-Warlord bot like Megatron,

I think this is more deserving of its own thread; unless I'm missing a specific post or conversation?

Regardless I don't think this is strictly true or something that we can quantify without an actual survey. My experience is in fact the complete opposite - a lot of older people I know either like or don't care about the movies and their designs, while most of my peers think they're pretty terrible (though I'm not sure whether you'd define me as being a 'young' or 'old' generation; I'm 20 1/2 just for the record). I myself don't like them as I find them needlessly and overly complicated to the extent I can't really admire anything about them beyond just the pure skill, time and effort required to design them and put them to screen; even though the biggest thing I should be deriving from a character design would be in how it evokes the character and sets them apart from the others (admittedly, the Autobots have had a decent run of the latter with colour-coding and both factions have highly differing body-types). Also on a less professional level, it just looks plain ugly and unappealing to me.

Though, yes, I would think a lot of the 'criticism' aimed at the Bayformers designs from older Transformers fans would be the whole nostalgia-to-absurd-extents thing this fandom is unfortunately quite renowned for. Of course not a hard-and-fast rule and I expect many of these older fans would dislike them for other reasons - perhaps similar to mine - but I would simply be wearing glasses as rose-tinted as theirs if I didn't count this factor. I'd also be wearing those glasses if I didn't also factor in that there are a lot of people who hate the movies for other reasons and then leap to criticising the designs whether they would like them or not just based on the fact they hate the movies anyway. Talking of other reasons, you've also got to consider how the designs are used and shot beyond just the designs themselves and... and I'm getting off track.

Beyond said nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses though I'm not sure one can generalise like this when I've seen significant like and dislike from any generation. Just depends on your aesthetic tastes and if you can put aside Sideswipe not looking like Sideswipe.

I actually made that poster with Bee and Prime my new phone wallpaper.

I have to wait on a few things, but I will either see the movie Wednesday or Thursday night, hopefully wednesday. Really looking forward to it!

I mean it's not like Sideswipe was a "character" or had personality in G1 at least that's something the movie version had alike eh?

No but seriously I think the first Sideswipe with personality I can remember was either the WFC guy or the Animated one.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was just picking a random character who was in the Bay movies and didn't resemble in any way the character they were supposedly based on. Admittedly, that means I could have picked anyone who isn't Optimus or Jazz. Whether or not they had a character in G1 is debatable and I will also enjoy seeing it pointed out that of the G1 cartoon's rather large cast, only a handful had notable character traits. A bit like these movies.

About TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.

A video was uploaded yesterday from the popular Australian automotive Youtube channel Mighty Car Mods, sponsored by Transformers The Last Knight, featuring the hosts trying to create a car that would be quite the robot racer in disguise, as they try to make the fastest quarter-mile car they can from the most boring car they can find. For that, they travel all the way to Japan to pick up an 80's Toyota Cresta, send it back to their shop to see if, despite the unassuming exterior, they can turn it into one of their fastest quarter mile racers yet!
Were they successful? Find out below, as the entire video has been linked for your viewing convenience.

Transformers 5 star Isabela Moner continued her series of behind the scenes videos from the TLK set! In this fourth installment, she gives us some great shots of the Bumblebee, Hound, and Hot Rod vehicles from The Last Knight, as well as some details on what they happened to be filming that day, which appears to be the scene where Hot Rod turns from his Citroen alternate mode to his current Lamborghini Centenario (accidentally referred to as a Maserati in the video) vehicle mode! Check out the full video below and stay tuned for a potential part five in these days leading up to the premier!

There may have been a new reveal as to what new track will be the New Divide-ing Battle Cry (geddit?) for Transformers: The Last Knight, courtesy of the official website and its new 'Ride or Die' character quiz. Let's take it with order: Bumblebee appears as you load it up with “Cake by the Ocean” by DNCE snipped in the background.

You are then prompted to answer five multiple choice questions, with musical cutscenes between loading screens, leading to the final result.

Depending on the character, you'll be given a Spotify link with a playlist tailored to Bumblebee, Izabella, Cade, Viviane, Megatron, and Optimus Prime.

While the playlist tracks obviously differ, the one constant appears to be “Torches” by X Ambassadors. Though we know Celldweller i taking part in the movie soundtrack too, we have yet to have confirmation on any new track for the movie other than the snippets heard in trailers! So, is this one it? Take a listen, and let us know in the Energon Pub!

Funny, I would have thought Imagine dragon's would have another song prepped for The Last Knight, I like this though, a nice detour from the usual Title tracks

I mean, you'd think the older generations would like machine parts more. Guess it's nostalgia getting the best of people. And I guess I'm starting to convert to the Bayverse robits cult.

What age range are we talking about when saying 'older generations'? I'm 38 in August and the movie stuff is my fave and as I've said before, provides the complexity and general real-world approach to the design and transformations I have always wanted since I was happily buying the Marvel UK comics as a kid and getting Transformers toys as presents.
