Rise of the Beasts 7th Movie production news

Open rectum?

'Procto' (πρωκτός) is Greek for anus, and is where English gets words like proctology and proctologist from.
PORVS is Latin for passageway, and comes from the Greek 'poros' (πόρος); and this is where English gets the words pore and porous from.
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.

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...
