Next weekend, Audiovisuals ICAIC (Cuban Film Institute) will offer a new cinematographic service to foreign film production, in this case, for the U.S. film Transformers 5, directed by Michael Bay for Paramount Pictures.
According to Granma newspaper, the shooting will take place in Havana by a small film crew and will not require road closures, so it should not cause disruption to normal city life.
The scenes filmed in the Cuban capital, specifically in the area of the seafront and Old Havana will be part of a montage of shots in big cities of the world, to which, in post-production, robots will be digitally added to show how they have integrated into life on Earth.
Services to foreign production are part of the regular work of the Institute and aim to contribute to the income of foreign currency for the national film industry and to increase employment opportunities for Cuban technicians and artists.

To be fair AoE was mostly in america so maybe everywhere else has taken to them better also there is the small time gap to consider or these shots maybe part of the films finale

Why is Cemetery Wind no longer a thing? I don't remember that being mentioned.
AoE didn't do any kind of job explaining why the US government was working with the Autobots in DotM and then suddenly against them in AoE. The very fact that the military was working with the Autobots should have made it clear that the Autobots saved the planet.
I should really stop trying to apply any sort of logic to AoE.
Anyway, I'm hoping that Nightbeat shows up to help Optimus sort out this whole creator thing.

I've noticed, but there really isn't a way to fix it thus far. Even the swear filter doesn't work from the front page.

Only Cemetery wind knew of the Autobots being killed. And then, their unit was wiped out and the head of field operations as well as the government head were killed, and there were witnesses to their corruption that could testify, and fact that the autobots proved to be heroes would allow further proof of how they had been treated. Thus, Cemetery wind could fairly be said to have been eliminated, or at least disbanded following the reveal of what it had been doing
I was about to do a post on this when I noticed yours so I thought it easier to quote
There is illogical circumstances in AoE but Cemetery Wind isn't one of them.

That's a shame. Would've loved to see a Blades kid instead; that's something that would be both cool and would fit in the bayverse.
It's always sweet to see videos like this. Cast members getting along with each other and enjoying each other's company and stuff.

Let's hope she turns out to be less of a pawn in the film, and more of a.. Rook.

Well, remember how many things were spoiled from the first three films by their respective tie-in materials? For AOE, it was a completely unspoiled experience prior to its theatrical release.Kurona wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Meh, it's not like the game makers of RotDS really had much of a choice in how they made the game considering that Bay wouldn't let any licensees look at the AOE movie's script before the film's release so as to prevent any movie tie-ins from spoiling its plot ahead of time, which resulted in no AOE novel, no AOE comics from IDW, and an AOE game that had jack squat to do with the AOE movie.
Seriously...? I mean, of all things to protect, the script? The story is hardly what people care about; even most fans know it's mostly excuse plots for explosions and giant robots punching each other.

ComingSoon wrote:Production has begun on the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight and they’ve set up shop in an unlikely place: Cuba! Director Michael Bay made the announcement on his Instagram page, noting they were only the second American production to be filming in Cuba (following the upcoming Fast 8 ).
The Transformers: The Last Knight cast includes the return of Transformers: Age of Extinction star Mark Wahlberg as Cade Yeager as well as newcomer Isabela Moner (100 Things to Do Before High School, Growing Up Fisher) as the film’s female lead, Izabella. Jerrod Carmichael (The Carmichael Show, Neighbors) is also set to play an unspecified leading role. Josh Duhamel will also reprise his role of Lieutenant Colonel Lennox from the first three films.
Production on Transformers: The Last Knight is set to come stateside on June 6 in Detroit, where Transformers: Age of Extinction was also shot.
Michael Bay returns to the director’s chair for the film, which is set to be written by Iron Man scribes Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down). Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto will produce the sequel.
Combined, the previous four Transformers films have brought in over $3.7 billion at the global box office with 2014’s Age of Extinction the second-highest grossing in the series. Current plans call for Transformers: The Last Knight to be released on June 23, 2017. It will be followed by a Bumblebee spin-off film in 2018 before Transformers 6 arrives in 2019.

They're never plastered on, but I could swear that there's often a subtle symbol either somewhere on the bonnet or the radiator, similar to where you might find the manufacturer's badge

The only transformers to retain their original colours in the movies are Optimus, Bumblebee, Hound and Megatron and Megatron is only loosely based on the G1 colours.
So it could be anyone hell it could be Blurr for all we know.

...THAT car being Blurr? Nah. Nascar is the better option for him.
Hmm Idk. It reminds me a lot of Cybertron Downshift for some reason.

They could always add something like that via CGI in post production.

Shockwave only really kept his colouring in the toys.

Yeah, it's debatable with him. Some DOTM imagery gives him more of a purple hue while other imagery of him doesn't.Kurona wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And Brawl, one-third of Arcee, another one-third of Arcee named Chromia, The Fallen, Ravage, Long Haul (debatable), Scrapmetal (there was a yellow/black version), Topspin, Shockwave (debatable), and (sorta) the Dinobots (they were at least largely gray in the movie).Deadput wrote:SillySpringer wrote:I am calling that it's gonna be Wasp or a similar Decepticon, if that car's even a Transformer.

He actually looks purple to me. Maybe it's just because purple stands out to me more since it's my favorite color.

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.”
