A collection of more fan-snapped images and videos of Transformers vehicles in Peru and Canada.
Apparently filming is now over in Peru, and a collection of photos and videos have been put together from the last week, showing some nice sets that we should recognise in the finished movie (for those not avoiding spoilers).
Possible further character reveal for the next movie, as dont remember seeing Arcee or Wheeljack mentioned

I'm just hoping this will get us a masterpiece jazz
Images of some of the vehicles being used for next TF movie, https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/10/06/...aple-jr-442461
The first image shows Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Mirage, a mysterious old VW van and a red motorcycle all around Mr. Caple from Maras in Cuzco, Peru. The second shot shows Scourge, Nightbird and the orange two truck.
Is this a under-the-radar live action Transformers Animated movie? Hello TFA Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Prowl, Bumblebee and (Freeway) Jazz!
actually a bit more interested now with the skyline GT-R, hope it makes a good figure
For those sensitive to spoilers... beware of spoilers (specifically the new character names and any vehicles that might look like an obvious character)...
Mirrored images, which Hasbro has also shared on the Transformers facebook page...Quote:

A couple of news postings on tfw show us images of the vehicles being brought in to take these promo shots (and maybe some actual filming), giving us more details of the new vehicles (characters)...
Optimus and the towtruck being brought in on the back of trucks.
Bumblebee and the dark truck (which some are claiming is called Scourge).
A Nissan Skyline, which is being claimed to be Nightbird... which I wonder how much of a homage it will be to the Gen1 cartoon character. (beware - significant spoilers at the link, if those details are true)
(It really makes a difference with these new movies not having an almost exclusive contract with General Motors, to give a completely different feel to the group of vehicles.)
Meanwhile, Michael Bay has popped up to remind us all that he is still attached to this new Transformers movie, as a Producer.
Hehe. Reading that thread about Mirage not being a Porche and how it should be Jazz. OTOH I merely note Porche is coming to the party on a Transformers (read military) movie. That can only mean good things for the MP line.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chN84b8D8SU&t=2s - Transformers cars rolling out in Cuzco – All the Transformers cars were rolling themselves over Cuzco streets to be part of the new scenes. Local fans and citizens were lucky to see them very close. The mysterious old VW van now features all its logos and text in Spanish. This character is rumored to be Wheeljack, it’s still unclear if this would be the case
I am personally liking the Vehicle modes being used, especially on the Decepticon side and look forward to seeing their Robot form...along with the SS figures ;)
Yeah, pretty over people whinging about it as if we haven't had name/vehicle swaps before. Also, the movies aren't G1, so there's that.Quote:

Instant buy. More excited for the toys now than the movie.
Apparently the principle filming for the 7th Movie is now complete. Now the post-production editing begins... and any re-shoots they feel is necessary.
So Wheeljack is a Combi Van and the Tow Truck is called Battletrap.
Would it have killed them to make a replica Lancia rally car for Wheeljack?
https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/10/21/...le-trap-443273
I remember a kombi van in last knight. We didnt see the bot mode though did we? You think they are reusing this model for the film?
Bad news to anyone looking forward to transformers rise of the beasts…
It has been delayed till 9/6/2023
https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/11/10/...-9-2023-444646
Apparently Paramount have tweeted out that the RotB film will be the first in a new trilogy... but doesn't specifically mention if it is a new trilogy, or just a trilogy in the same universe (like Star Was films having 3 trilogies of films).
It also notes the newly announced cartoon show (Earth Spark) and that the other CG animated movie that we have heard about is aimed for release in 2024.
Quote:
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will be released theatrically in 2023 and is the first of three new installments. A new animated series from @Nickelodeon arrives this fall. And in 2024, the franchise expands further with a CG animated Transformers theatrical film.
From a recent investor event, some snippets about the new movie, and another official logo banner (watermarked).
Quote:
Hasbro held their first-ever Ignite event (a.k.a Innovation Showcase 2022) for retailers and investors to highlight what’s upcoming for years 2022 and 2023.
Among the highlights was the Transformers franchise. Speaking to the audience, Jenny Whitlock, Vice President – Global Franchise Strategy & Management, stated that plans are underway for Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts and included a slide with the movie title against an Aztec (?) backdrop featuring Beast characters as well as Optimus Prime.
“We’re partnering with eOne, Paramount, and a visionary new director to bring to life a Transformers story like you’ve never seen. The film will pick up after the events of 2018’s Bumblebee and follows Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and an unlikely team of humans who are joined by a group of powerful new allies; the Transformers Beasts. The introduction of beast characters will be a significant moment for all. From kids to core fans, and especially those who grew up with Beast Wars in the 90s. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts raises the stakes and set us up for what’s to come over the next few years in our film franchise.”The film is touted as Hasbro’s biggest theatrical event to date.
This is an interesting one from a Russian site that was apparently showing licensed merchandise, including an item for the delayed Transformers Rise of the Beasts movie.
It is said to be a folder that has Movie Optimus on the front, and a Mayan/Incan looking image on the back that has 10 beasts in a circle - beasts that almost exactly match the first 10 characters in the Beast Wars cartoon (all ten except Waspinator, who is replaced by a bird which could be Airrazor).
In my mind it seems a little too coincidental to the Beast Wars cast, and I'd be surprised if the ROTB movie was using the Beast Wars cast almost exactly.
(then again, the image is too well done to be fake... but I can't rule that out)
At an event in America called CinemaCon, apparently there was a HUGE 12 seconds of footage shown from the Rise of the Beasts movie, and from various people on social media commenting on what they saw, we have the following details...
Quote:
- No dialogue.
- It started with a shot of Optimus Prime turning around
- Optimus, Bumblebee, and Arcee were shown.
- Arcee was seen in her robot mode hanging off the side of a vehicle with a giant gun.
- Arcee looks reminiscent of classic G1 Arcee (viewers opinion).
- Optimus Prime looked very similar to what we saw in the Bumblebee Movie.
- Anthony Ramos was shown weaving in and out of cars, and driving next to Arcee.
- Unfortunately, no beasts were shown.
Not about the Movie itself, but a new species of lizard found in Peru has been named after Optimus Prime in honour of the filming of the next movie in that country last year.
Serious question: Doesn't Proctoporus mean "rectal passage"? :confused:
Open rectum?Quote:

OPTIMVS is Latin for the greatest or best.
So Proctoporus optimus seems to translate as, "the best anal passage."
Again, I'm not trying to be funny here. Is there another meaning that I've completely overlooked?!?
....
Anyway, back on topic. I think it's really cool they named a lizard after a Transformer. I'd love to have one as a pet but I'm guessing there's no way I'd be allowed to bring one over here. :rolleyes:
Did anyone else find it strange that nothing was featured for Rise of the Beasts at SDCC this year?
It's the one event each year that every movie studio and tv producer uses to pimp out their future projects... sometimes projects that are several years away... and yet there was no movie panel to introduce the cast or show off movie footage (which should be close to finishing, as the movie was meant to be out two months ago, and the people working on it would only have a set fee, so they wouldn't be spending too much extra time working on it for free).
It doesn't bode well for the success of the next Transformers movie to not have even a teaser trailer released at SDCC... considering that they have had enough time to have a full 2-3 minute trailer done up by now, or screened several scenes to just the SDCC attendees.
This is where massive promotional budgets come into play, sometimes costing as much as the movie itself... and where was Paramount?
Imagine if they just release it to paramount plus then the theatres few months later
Two robot voice actors announced on Instagram - Pete Davidson (an American comedian best known from Saturday Night Live) and Michelle Yeoh (recently from Star Trek Discovery).
Pete is said to be voicing Mirage, and Michelle is said to be voicing Airrazor.
I don't think it was ever announced what role he is playing in the next movie, but Tobe Nwigwe has just announced that he has been called up to do some reshoots (which should mean that he is a human character, not a voice character).
I know that they gave themselves an extra 12 months on this movie, but that was more to do with stalling for a more global post-covid time that would earn the movie more money globally, not to give them more time to work on the movie. They were given enough time to have it completed for a June 2022 release, so for them to still be tinkering with it 4 months after that, every extra day working on it adds to the overall cost of the project, making it less profitable no matter how much it ends up making.
It also doesn't inspire confidence in the plot or visual effects if the director and/or producers are still not happy with the finished product, after working on the post-production for 12 months now (original filming ended October last year).
The cover of a book for the ROTB movie has artwork for one of the Decepticons (Scourge) we know about, but could be a spoiler for anyone who is actually able to avoid seeing robot modes for the next five months...

Well Porsche's official Twitter account has dropped a ROTB teaser with their logo. I guess it's safe to say we are going to get some licensed Porsche Transformers finally!

Transformers ROTB x Porsche Superbowl spot has dropped on the Porsche and Paramount YouTube channels.

I really like the look of that.
Wow, fantastic looking transformer!
Grumble, grumble, grumble. This should have been Jazz.
I haven't found an official source of this yet, but it is being claimed by websites that the release date of the ROTB movie in Australia and New Zealand has been pushed back 2 weeks to June 22nd.
If this is actually true, it isn't known yet if that means we are the only ones who have a delayed release (other than Japan, who has to wait until August for their release).
