A photo posted on Instagram (probably from the Transformers 4 set) seems to show off a new look for movie Optimus Prime. Based on the photo, Prime’s new vehicle mode is a mix between his G2 Laser Optimus Prime toy and his Transformers: Prime 1.0 vehicle mode (prior to Beast Hunters).
Props to Instagramer rezzieboi for the
image.
Update: Prime's new look is confirmed by
ComicBookMovie and
Michael Bay.
"The completely upgraded, custom-built Optimus Prime from Western Star (a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America)."Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more info.

Following the
reveal of 2 new Autobots from Transformers 4, Michael Bay Official Twitter Feed has been
updated with an announcement that Principal Photography of Transformers 4 has officially begun.
“Transformers 4, started shooting in the Navajo Tribal Park in Monument Valley”Also, actress Nicola Peltz who plays the lead female role has
posted at Instagram, a photo of driving through Moab. From the logo, her car is a Mercedes and may just be a car used to transport staff.
So, if you guys are around the filming area and is able to grab a pic or two, share with us at TFW2005 and we’ll share it to the world. Last time our own Jimmy88 became the first person to
announce Optimus Prime’s Trailer during the Chicago Filming of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

It's time for some actual Transformers 4 news, courtesy of
Yahoo!, who has publicity photos of two new cars (and possible Autobots) fresh from the Transformers 4 set on the border of Arizona and Utah: The 2013 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse (which is not only a car that goes for approximately $2.5 MILLION, but it's also one of this newsie's favorite car designs, period) and a special racing livery version of the 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray concept. While we do not know who exactly these characters may be, we DO know that they are both new Autobots.
Who do you think they could be? Swing on by the discussion thread and speculate away!
EDIT: These new cars have not only been confirmed by
Bay's official website, but have also had larger photos uploaded. They have been attached to this story.

Botcon have announced their next guest attendee. Making his convention debut is Jason Jensen, who played Tommy Kennedy in the little-known fifth season of Transformers Generation 1 alongside an animatronic Powermaster Optimus Prime. His role in the series was to act as a bridge to introduce the episodes alongside the Optimus Prime, as the "fifth season" was a series of reruns.
Check out the
full guest announcement and biography on Botcon.com. Botcon 2013 kicks off in San Diego, CA in a little over five weeks time. If you're planning on attending and have not booked yet - what are you waiting for?

By way of our sponsors
Robot Kingdom's Facebook page, we have a trio of updates on the Unique Toys Predaking project, War Lord.
First up, seen at left, the big guy himself is revealed. Unique Toys War Lord, the combination of the five smaller not-Predacons. These images also indicate the main gun will be formed out of the smaller guns of the individual Beasticons. The images also give a sense of scale by way of a comparison image with a Universe Cyclonus.
Next up, colored test shot images of Unique Toys Savage Bull the War Bison have also been posted. You can check them out at the link above as well. Rounding out the update are a pair of in-package images for the second of the five Beasticons to be released shortly, Ironhead the War Rhino.
