...With the power of Rock'n'Roll in the greatest Battle of the Bands ever seen this side of the Benzuli Expanse!

And c), why did he need any of it considering all that time he could have just added space travel capability into his boots like he did in AoE?

The thing about his boots though, from what happened when prime got the sword, it looks like they were a new upgrade rather than something he already had.

As for trucks in space, I'd rather have a winnebago in space

There is big transforming robots beating each other up and trashing stuff and you expect the military not to get involved?

Plus I liked lennox and his crew

As much as I agree with the criticism of Bay's predilection for military narratives or involvement, I agree more with ZeroWolf's point here. It's also being used/explored in the current IDW comics, and so far it's working fairly well (and much better than DotM/AoE, for example).

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.

Just a bit of a difference, lol

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

D-Maximus_Primal wrote:In AoE, it was made clear that the US government did not know Cemetery Wind was hunting down and killing Autobots in addition to the cons. That was explicit. 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
