    I know he can act, but in the scheme of story things I'd like to know why he would be playing Merlin when he was Joshua in the last film. I know movie makers like to think their audience is dumb, but most of us can recognize an actor playing multiple parts. So there should be story reasons.

    I don't think TRF cares what the faction is, they're out to destroy all Cybertronians. Otherwise they wouldn't be chasing after the Autobots in the leaked fan videos from when they were filming. There's also that line that Cade says directed at Lennox about betraying friends. I think once the Earth is under attack from that planet thing, and they learn this Quintessa bitch has control of Optimus, TRF realizes that they need the Autobots (again) and work with them to save Earth.

    I still want to see Epps put in a cameo, just to kick Lennox's ass for betraying the Bots.

    It has to be solid proof so no imdb is not solid proof or wiki, those can be edited. It has to be a twitter feed or facebook from a legit reporter or tucci himself

    Was I the only one that saw Bumblebee in the Nazi courtyard?

    To be fair, this is a transformer movie. Continuity isn't a strong suit. :) 

    But, I'll bite. Tucci's AoE character could be a modern day Merlin. He's the smartest man on Earth and decodes Transformium.

    Hmm that's going to be tough. But whatever. I'm in. How do we handle unconfirmed though? Is that a win for you or me? Lol

    It will be confirmed either before the movie or when we see the movie credits

    So any theories about time traveling in this movie have been blown out of the water?

    I think the only time travel is flashbacks.

    Not disagreeing necessarily, but that guy's team does want to wait to verify Canopy's "badge". The guy ignores this.

    Maybe Joshua is a next life( or something like that?) of Merlin? Since he did say holy Grail and magic in last movie I think.

    I wonder sometimes about Hot Rod having a French Accent. I spoiler some fans about Hot Rod's French accent and they weren't happy. I wonder if Hot Rod will be rid of it at the end.

    I guess that's pretty funny, I know how he feels too, I've lived out of England so long my accent has picked up loads annoying American and aussie tinges i can't shake! Doesn't really make sense for a robot though. I can change Siris accent with 3 clicks! What's up with cybertronian voice boxes?!

    I can believe that Stanley Tucci is Merlin, are you guys forgetting that Glenn Morshower played 2 different people in this franchise

    Would be pretty cool if Starscream was revived as Thundercracker, a nice little nod to Armada.

    Love what i'm reading though, can't wait to see this film.

    If Tucci is playing Merlin, I hope that they write it into the movie that Joshua is a descendants of Merlin. Probably explains his inventor genes.
