The new young star of Transformers 4; Jack Reynor spoke to The Hollywood Reporter what he thinks about the upcoming movie by Michael Bay.

"All I knew was basically, Michael was going to make Transformers 4 and we were going to chat about me being in it," he says of the meeting. "We didn’t chat about making a fourth or any of the motives behind it. But personally, I think there’s a lot more to be done with it. There’s a whole new direction to take it in, and a lot more to explore in that universe, and I think we’re going to make a definitive step away from the previous movies, and this is going to be a lot of fun and I’m incredibly excited."

He also talked with Hollywood.com regarding the movie:

Reynor isn't sure exactly what convinced Bay to take a chance on him.

"I'm not 100% certain. It's not something Michael and I really talked about. I'm a bit more, 'Yes, sir. No, sir,' with Michael. I just do what he says, take the job seriously, and get it done," Reynor says.

Transformers 4 may sound like an entirely different animal than What Richard Did, but according to Reynor… well, it is. "With Richard, I was excited to make this film with such an amazing role for an actor. Play a wide range of emotion and really invest myself in the character," he says. "With Transformers, I'm going to get to drive fast cars and have a lot of fun. That's what appeals to me about it. I want to have as much fun as possible."

Site sponsor TFSource has posted on their Facebook details regarding Takara's release of Generations Metroplex and how it will differ from the US release.

From Takara/Tomy:
- The US version will be white, the Takara will be more true to the white and coloring of the G1 Metroplex
- The Japanese version will include two guns, the US version just 1 gun
- It is believed the Japanese version will feature chromed/metallic paint apps the US will not, but this is not confirmed. When we asked Takara did not say yes or no.

What do you think? Are these differences worth it for you to import this massive figure? Sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Director Michael Bay has shown an interest to film in the streets of Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong for his upcoming movie; Transformers 4. According to Twitch Film, The producers have already approached local government officials and businesses to propose the closure of sections of roads for filming.

Reportedly, after looking at photographs of different parts of the city, Mr. Bay is most interested in Sham Shui Po because of its unique aesthetic. The district, situated in North West Kowloon, is one of the oldest and most densely populated areas of Hong Kong.

According to the article, Transformers 4 will start shooting in the US in June. The plan is for filming to continue in Hong Kong in September and then China from October. They have also auditioned a number of Chinese actors, reportedly with Huang Xiaoming being the front-runner to get a role in the film.

Word has reached us that several retailers on both sides of the Pacific are reporting delays to the next releases in the Transformers Masterpiece line. Masterpiece Prowl and Masterpiece Streak (aka Bluestreak / Silverstreak) have each been delayed, Prowl to September and Streak to October.

There is no word on Smokescreen, the third of the Datsun trio. He was intended to release after Prowl and Streak though so we'd expect him to be delayed as well.

Via Snakas we can share with you a low-res composite of official images of the Platinum Series Transformers Prime Ultra Magnus. Optimus Prime's right-hand bot is here a redeco of the Weaponizer Optimus Prime with a new Forge of Solus Prime accessory. What this image shows off are both the modes - seen at Toy Fair 2013 - along with the inside of the packaging flap, which we have not seen previously.

Check it out and see what you think.

A new scan from Previews gives us a closer look at the Beast Hunters "Sharkticon" Megatron. The new image uses the typical Hasbro "photoshop" images that aren't the best gauge of the final product, but it looks like this Megatron will be an interesting blend of black, blue and pinkish-purple. The alternate mode sports a look that resembles some kind of hellish sea creature, with the arm fins sticking up at the rear and a toothy maw up front. Interestingly Megatron sports a blue face rather than his usual silver one - your mileage may vary on if this is plain awesome or unappealing.

Check out the image attached to this story to decide what you think of this new iteration of Megatron.

Highly anticipated Generations Voyager Wave 3 was spotted earlier today at a Target in Oregon. This wave features updates to two classic triple changers, Springer and Blitzwing! Springer is inspired by Nick Roche's design from IDW's popular Last Stand of the Wreckers! Also included is Blitzwing, who finally provides collectors with an updated counterpart to the original Classics release of Astrotrain.

The Takara-Tomy Youtube Channel has updated with a video showcasing the Transformers Go! toyline. The initial eight releases in the series, out shortly in Japan, are all showcased along with the new, Japan only backstory which seems to involve Predacons (five silhouettes are shown) being sealed inside objects reminiscent of the Fall of Cybertron Data Disks. It is a quirky alternate story for the line, and seems to play into the super-robot direction that the Japan exclusive releases such as the Samurai and Ninja teams are moving in.

We've had a few looks at this image already so please excuse this third post about the official imagery of Beast Hunters Sharkticon Megatron. Here for you now is a clear, good resolution official image of the new Megatron, showing off his look most clearly. Of interest is that he seems to have a unique faction symbol - possibly something or nothing, but worth mentioning for those curious.

Check out the official image, released by Hasbro, at the left of this story.

In a recent Twitter Q&A, Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock, also known for voicing Cliffjumper in Transformers Prime and starred in GI Joe Retaliation) revealed that he was offered a role in Transformers 4. But not any role - he was offered one of the lead roles, specifically the role that was eventually filled by Mark Wahlberg. The Rock was offered the role first, but had to turn it down due to working on Hercules. This led the way to Mark Wahlberg eventually being cast.

Would you have liked Megatron to smell what The Rock is cooking? Sound off on our 2005 Boards!

Hydra of the Allspark has posted up some more information on the plot of Transformers Go! The series is being set up as a sequel to Beast Hunters' main plotline (though how much it will reflect the actual ending is anyone's guess). The base premise is that Predaking / Dragotron has been defeated and the majority of the bad guys have fled into space, prompting Team Prime to pursue - but there are still some scattered enemies on Earth, so Optimus Prime entrusts the mission of hunting them down to six Autobots...

It very much reflects many "sequel / side story" plots told over the years, both in Transformers and elsewhere. How much it will fit with established continuity is anyone's guess.

Hydra's full post can be viewed at the link above, or reproduced after the jump for convenience. Caution - the post references how Predaking is defeated in the backstory which may in turn spoil part of the ending of the series.
