You’ll probably be wondering about the absence of our weekly Transformers 5 News Roundup. It’s because we got next to nothing from the production last week.
There is a reason behind this though: The cast and crew has moved to Europe for the next phase of filming.
Thanks to an Instagram post by director Michael Bay, we now know that the shooting will commence tomorrow (August 22nd) in Scotland.
“My job today at the Paris Opera House. @victoriassecret Back tomorrow to Transformers in Scotland.”
Mark Wahlberg was spotted getting on a private aircraft two days ago and may be heading towards Europe. Filming will take place in England, Scotland, Iceland and many other locations. We are yet to hear more info.

Does anyone know if any of the Autobot vehicles have arrived in the UK? I'm 100% positive that I passed Hound on the M4 near Winterbourne/Bristol heading towards Bath (presumably onto London)!!!???
The vehicle was under a red sheet on the back of a white Volvo fh truck. The shape seemed instantly recognizable, plus a good portion of the vehicle was poking out, wheels and colours match?!

that I could see being possible… but SAH as just a flashback? frak no.

Sir Anthony Hopkins
Or, (pure speculation) maybe Stonehenge will function as a time portal, and Merlin (possibly played by Sir Anthony Hopkins) may be brought into the present to help the Autobots find the Excalibur sword, to deal with whatever threat the Decepticons have cooked up? In my opinion, anything (no matter how far out in left field it is) is possible in the Bayverse. We shall see several months from now. . .

even Bay isn't stupid enough to hire Sir Anthony Hopkins and waste him on a flashback…

Scotland, TF5, & Sir Anthony Hopkins
Could be. I have a feeling that Sir Anthony Hopkins could be playing Merlin in a flashback sequence. If not, then he could be voicing a robot, OR could be a human character a' la Stanley Tucci or Kelsey Grammer. IF the JoBlo plot description is accurate, then this movie will be like an expanded take on, "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court" , as well as the '86 Animated Movie, and whatever other story elements the Writer's Table crafted.
I hope we see some more robot renders soon, especially Onslaught (Man, he's gonna be huge), the rusty Decepticon VW Van, The Decepticon Motorcycle, The Dump Truck (which I'm calling Wreck-Gar), and maybe we'll also see Ultra Magnus and Springer. Plus hopefully some more Female Bots and Cons. I can dream.

Michael Bay finally realized: If its not Scottish, its CRAAAPPP!!!

Damn pandering to Scotland.
DrLee
the vehicles are still in the US IIRC… possible this Scotland thing could be internal building scenes with Sir Anthony Hopkins?
then Wednesday is the cars in London?

I hope Paddles is the latest Dinobot and we find out he was the Loch Ness Monster.

Movieverse Paddles?
EDIT: Spectra beat me to it.

I can't imagine the movie crew going this obscure, but what if it was Paddles?
