Wonder if it'll turn out that Big Ben is actually an ancient Cybertronian artifact and a key to awakening Unicron who is actually planet Mars…

I'm a little confused by this. I read the more detailed description for extended cast and are they expecting the extras to be available to film in London too? Because I live in the Detroit area and would not mind being an extra in the film or at least driving down there to see some of the filming. Either way this is exciting and I look forward to seeing what this new "cinematic universe" has in store.

I'll do it down in London if some of the vehicles are going to be there, excluding Optimus I guess

It's not like this is the first film in history to do so.

My company worked on the set when they filmed in Detroit for two of the movies. We did all the glass work for the first one and the last one. We still have one of Prime's windshields in the back from when it was broken on accident in a shot. Guy didn't want to toss it out. Got all kinds of pictures of Prime and Ratchet and cool stuff like that.
Pretty much, if it was glass and Bay blew it up in either of those movies in Detroit, we handled it.

Yay! Time for bad acting, super fast action sequences and a debilitated story-line.

We already had the Wreckers. Too bad they were underused, I frankly loved the designs.

Duh, you gotta swap out the barbie every time
Wonder which Victoria's Secret model they'll use this time….
I vote for Kyra Santoro….
Maybe Hot Rod will be a mullet-ed Nascar bot with a steel mesh wifebeater
Drinkin' a 'Bud and slappin' a back-from-the-dead Arcee's booty in literally every scene
