Infernocus....anyone?

Twitter user Jamie.k has spotted a new promotional cutout stand for Transformers: The Last Knight, featuring Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, at a cinema / movie theatre in Thailand. Check it out mirrored below!

Very cool! I need to make that hammer for my Bumblebee figures.

Thanks to the Transformers fan page from Singapore, Planet Iacon, we have some additional info and images of those new Transformers-inspired Coca Cola Cans. Their images show many, if not all, or the designs available, as well as a new collector's box, similar to the one included in the Shadow Optimus Promo, that we haven't seen before. It includes some sort of steelbook case and three cans. It's unknown at this time what the steelbook is, and if this collector's set is also a raffle or giveaway, as the Iacon post doesn't share a lot of info on the products. Here are the images!

I agree. The Bammer (huehue) is a really cool weapon for him

From We Got This Covered, once more, we have a new TV spot for Transformers: The Last Knight - featuring Bumblebee's new trick (which reminds us of some other univerzzzally hated characterzzz) as we got glimpses of in the latest international trailer.

Check it out below, and let us know what you think of the character and the movie in the Energon Pub!

Ahh, Jazz...

looking at the way the explosion is reversing itself, i'd say it looks like someone is screwing around with Time itself.

This seems less of an official spot and more like somebody took the last bit of the trailer and posted it as it's own video.

While it does seem unfair that Bee can live while Jazz died the difference between them when I thought about were that Jazz torso was "ripped" in half like it wasn't meant to detach without consent while Bee only "detached" his part cleanly by joint within his own power.

So the gist of it is that I think it's a "damage" thing and it would be different if say somebody shot Bee in the neck and made his head fall off it would probably kill him then.

It's probably going to either be an upgrade he gets recently or a one time thing he can only do once safely...doesn't make the trick any less dumb though.

That's the pot calling the kettle black...

I am rather intrigued by this new development, though. It seems to defy all previous thoughts on the Bayverse Transformers being able to take damage. Is this something KSI cooked up in the vein of how they constructed Galvatron and the clones in the last film? Or something maybe Prime did to Bee after returning from his visit with not-Botanica? I'm excited to find out. I'm excited for this movie in general.

Nice to see you here, dude and as I said on Twitter, I love this video and how cool Barricade is in it and a nice touch with Bee's new trick too.

Starting the week with some Transformers: The Last Knight news, we have that Empire Magazine article (scanned by TFW2005 user Temenos) we've seen being thrown about for a while now, that accompanies the various online versions and interviews. Talking to Michael Bay directly and the writers for the movie itself, the piece covers production for TLK, and adds information about the director, the creation process and future Transformers projects with Paramount, such as the Bumblebee solo movie - apparently set in the 1980s, and probably aimed at a younger audience - and an animated prequel on Transformers lore and mythology, set on Cybertron as rumoured - the writers for Ant-Man, Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, will be behind it.

Some other stand-out take-aways from the piece: The final version for the story ultimately came down to writers Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down), Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (both on Iron Man). Two pitches made into the story, but three storylines are present overall (King Arthur, WWII, and a third - probably the space/Quintessa material). Multiple time settings were considered in the writer's room pitches, and it seems that an Ancient Rome movie may appear at some point. The sixth movie was drafted before TLK was completely polished up, so it's bound to change before actual production.

Also, Michael Bay lost his hair and his dog during production of this film. And John Turturro's Simmons character is based on Bay.

I swear I've heard that Simmons was based on Bay before.

Back during the OT days I think but I don't remember where I read it.

But I do know I heard this before that I'm certain of.

Do I defend Perceptor because I love him, or decide not to because of MTMTE #50...

Ah well, at least they had the sense to recognise TFA Ratbat is AWESOME

Reading the article. Comments below.

* Bay lost three inches of his hair filming a fire sequence for the film 13 Hours, not TLK. This was right before he met up with the writers over Skype on the first day of the Writer Room back in June 2015.

* So it was Bay who convinced Paramount to put together the Writers Room since, in his eyes, the Transformers film franchise was "getting stale" and "gonna die" at the rate it was going.

* The writer of Black Hawk Down and the writers of Iron Man 1 being the writers of TLK give me some sense of hope that this film might possibly be a step up from the preceding sequels.

* Like Bay back in the mid-2000s, the Writers Room team had to go through "Transformers School", in which the article says that they went through "14 billion years of history".

* Prior to the Writers Room, Ken Nolan hadn't even seen any of the TF movies yet. So right before he was due for the Writers Room, he binge-watched all four of them and "almost went to an insane asylum."

* I'm a bit hesitant on the notion of this film squishing three treatments together (King Arthur, WWII, and Quintessa), as AOE already felt like 2+ films squished together haphazardly.

* Santiago Cabrera is playing Merlin? O...kay?

* In that little bit on the left side of the third page, what do these people got against the Insecticons? Even the Tom Hanks movie Big established that robots turning into insects was cool.

* The Bumblebee film having a younger tone sounds promising.

* The writers of Ant-Man doing the animated Cybertron prequel is the best news of this article yet!

* Lorezo di Bonaventura immediately shot down any notion of an R-rated Transformers film. Good! Though, sadly, Bay likes the idea.

* Though I agree with Bay that orange is an unattractive lighting color, I wish he didn't feel that he had to cuss out his own people.

* The notion of John Turturro having based Simmons on Bay is mentioned here as something that was admitted back when the first film was made.

* Heh, Turturro previously wanted to cast Bay in a film that he (Turturro) was directing, and if Bay hadn't been in Cuba filming TLK at the time, he would have done it instead of having to turn it down. He would have played a famous hairdresser and would have shot a guy in the butt.

I pray Hasbro lets Bay make an R-rated Transformers movie. It'll never happen, but I want it more than anything in life.

Robot on robot violence doesn't seem to require an R-rating as seen in the previous movies but lots of close ups of humans getting squished under foot and and blown to bits and yeeeeah! Megatron picking up a human by the head and popping it like a zit. brutal :O

Have Transformers ever cussed? I mean with human swear words rather than more family friendly substitutions?

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Skids and Mudflap the Stereotypical Twins?" "No." "I thought not. It's not a story the True-fans would tell you. It's a Bay legend."

I want human violence and Tarantino style dialogue.

Also, Sonic is doing some Last Knight promotional stuff: https://www.sonicdrivein.com/-/colorchangingslushes

Hey guys, look what I found at my local Sonic today. I would submit this as news, but I'm not sure how to put the image in the news report.

EDIT: Nevermind, submitted as news. Also, there's a Transformers/sonic sweepstakes that begins on the 29th, using a "sticker code" that my Bumblebee slush didn't come with. Guess they're not putting the codes on the slushes until the 29th.

" Darn Sonic and them posting spoilers about Bee becoming evil with that purple slushie " /s

But really ugh grape.

I don't know about spoilers, but I can verify that the Bumblebee slush is delicious!

Movies and Frozen Treats are two staples of summer, or at least someone at the Transformers Last Knight branding office thought so, as TLK-themed Slushes are now appearing at Sonic restaurants! Thanks to a submitted photo from EvasionModeBumblebee, we can see that three drinks are currently for sale, one inspired by Megatron, one by Optimus Prime, and the last by Bumblebee. It's unknown if the licence deal will reach to other Sonic products (E.G. toys for their kids meal), but if any update like that is issued, we'll post it here on Seibertron.com!

Is Sonic a US thing because I've never heard of them here in Canada?

Is it a convenience store or a restaurant?

I think it's a just a US thing? It's a restaurant set up like those old fifties drive ins, where there's no inside and people will bring food out to you. They have killer tater tots.

It's a popular video game series with quite a few good games. I'd recommend Generations and 3&K myself.

Bingo! Ironically, I live right down the street from a sonic, which is directly across the street from a Valvoline, who is also running a TF promotion There's a conspiracy theory in there somewhere, I'm sure.

I happen to have at least three within driving range. And my wife loves slushies.

Yes I also prefer my slushies to have colors too.

I am a big fan of this movies, but, I was expecting something new, bigger, massive... either Unicron, quintesons or a big combiner (menasor, abominus, computron, any)... IMO tastes a lot like Dark of the moon, I mean flat... I hope I am wrong and those dinobots combine like that legion toy repainted from abominus.

I still stand by my opinion that Unicron should never appear in the movies until the very last one and only if they build up to his appearance.

Problem is that he's too big to be in movies like these.

Uh, you do realize that there is a quinteson named quintessa (yeah, real original MB ) in this new movie, right?

1. This movie deals with the quintesson story, this is what they look like:



2. That legion toy repainted is of a character in this movie, but its not a combiner:

I've always wondered what Megatron tastes like... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ah this is what everyone has REALLY been waiting for - not the movie, not the toys. No, it was the slushies we wanted all along...

Now if these came with collectible cups I would be exited. Even so, the closest sonic is 50 miles away so it would be a moot point. I only get sonic if I am on a road trip. I miss their mozzarella sticks.

Well, they're kinda collectible I guess, they're clear and they have the film logo, & logos, and Prime, Megatron, and Bee's names.
