A new video from the set of Transformers 4 in Detroit has been posted on to You Tube

As with the previous three live action Transformers Movies, the position of the CGI Transformers, on set, is represented by someone holding a cardboard face on a stick.  The faces generally represent the character who will be added in in Post Production.  In this case the figure appears to be an older, bearded Transformers, smoking a pipe.   This will most likely turn out to be Hound (Autobot Hound).

To start the day here is a round-up of some recent interviews which were held with Mark Wahlberg where he makes reference to the fourth Transformers movie.

Metro News Canada interviewed him regarding "2 Guns" and "Transformers 4".

Of course he was tight-lipped but said that he is playing "a single dad who’s trying to raise a very attractive teenage girl in the real world."

Also he mentioned his daily routine while filming:
"I don’t go out at night anymore, so that makes it a lot easier. I go home, I’ll eat dinner, I’ll read the script and prepare for the next day’s work, and go to bed right away. I’ll wake up with a little bit of time to say my prayers, read my prayer book, maybe do a little workout, and then get back at it. And then steal a cat nap whenever I can during the work day — but (‘Transformers’ director) Michael (Bay), once he starts working, he doesn’t like to stop."

Following on from that interview MTV also interviewed the actor and asked specifically regarding any Dinobots would be involved within the movie.

When asked whether there would be any Dinobots on Transformers 4 the actor replied "None of your business. You don't want me to get replaced halfway through production for divulging secrets".

Mr. Wahlberg mentioned that the new installment feels unlike anything that has come before it, thanks in part to the character he has taken on. "It feels like a completely different movie, very fresh," he said. "Obviously, it's a really interesting dynamic, being a young, single dad having a teenage daughter, trying to succeed as an inventor, having very little means and also trying to provide for my family. Then all hell breaks loose."

Finally ComicBook.com are reporting that after Mark Wahlberg's children visited the set in Detroit, the actor asked Michael Bay if his kids could be in the movie. After a quick and impromptu audition, Michael Bay agreed.

Michael Bay has announced that Han Geng has joined the cast of Transformers 4:

He's one of Asia's top stars in the worlds of music, television and movies and has become one of the most influential entertainers in China. Now he'll also be known for Transformers 4. Welcome Han Geng to the cast of Transformers 4. – Michael

Posts Mr Bay as the casting is announced.  Hang Geng is one of China's leading pop-idols and is also extremely popular in South Korea where he started his career as part of the group Super Junior.

Michael Bay posted out images announcing the Bumblebee would be a 2014 Concept Camaro in Transformers 4 with the comment Trumpets please . . . Bumblebee, a 2014 Concept Camaro! . . . the final jewel in the Transformers 4 crown. over on his Flickr account.

He also tweeted out regarding the announcement using the tweet you can see below.

You can view the two new images below:

Michael Bay has posted an image of the 2014 Argosy cab-over truck by Freightliner onto his website / twitter and Flickr account with the caption The adventure continues to transform with a very different offering from Daimler Trucks North America . . . the imposing 2014 Argosy cab-over truck by Freightliner. The truck, which can be seen below, would make a good Nemesis Prime or Motormaster and with the sheet number of sports cars which have been spotted thus far, the chances of seeing the Stunticons feature is certainly increasing.

The official Transformers 4 revealed keep coming as Michael Bay has announced that the Pagani Huayra will feature in the fourth live-action Transformers movie.

"Considered a masterpiece of design and engineering, this fierce, 2013 blood red Pagani Huayra, is named after an ancient Andean God of Wind. High resolution photo: http://bayhem.com/15BERvQ" posts Michael on his website.

Michael Bay has posted a new image to his Flickr account of the Chevrolet Sonic RS with the caption "The Ultimate Sonic RS, just pure fun.". This is agood sign that the vehicle will feature within Transformers 4 in one form (as a Transformer or being the vehicle of a human) or another.  You can view the image below.

Michael Bay has revealed another vehicle which will be used for Transformers 4 as the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Coupe.  Mr Bay made the announcement on his website today with the text "Unveiling yet another surprise . . . the extraordinary and exhilarating 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Coupe. High resolution photo: http://bayhem.com/16OKk8T"

Could this be a new Sideswipe or could it be a Decepticon, Lockdown perhaps? Time will reveal all.

Update

Michael Bay has also posted a new groupshot of the Autobots over on his Flickr account on the 1st June which is missing both the Lamborghini and what appeared to be Ratchet who is yet to be officially announced and was spotted at the back of the original groupshot image by HotshotsWorldWide

Last night Michael Bay confirmed that the military truck which was revealed as an Autobot in recent on-set images will indeed be called Hound.  The bio on Mr Bays's website read as "The always rugged and reliable Hound, one of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles from Oshkosh Defense. High resolution".  We'd expect Hasbro to release a "Roadbuster" style recolour either as Roadbuster or as "Roadbuster Bulkhead" when a toy is eventually released.

In releated news, Fox Detroit have posted a video, which can be viewed below, regarding the recent Transformers 4 casting call which took place in Michigan. The report states that Michael Bay will be stepping up his filming within the area including using the location to shoot parts of the story which will be set within Hong Kong.
