The 15 Military Aircraft and Vehicles Seen in Transformers

Is there another Transformers movie coming out? YES...Untitled Transformers Movie - June 24, 2022
The next installment in the Transformers franchise will land in theaters on June 24, 2022, but what that movie is exactly remains to be seen. ... This movie even reportedly has its first star now that Hamilton's Anthony Ramos is in final negotiations for a leading role.
The Transformers movies have always been somewhat of a mixed bag. For every critical darling like 2018’s Bumblebee there’s something like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen or Transformers: The Last Knight, but it appears the franchise that first got kicked off with the 2007 Michael Bay box office has some new life in the form of multiple upcoming and exciting movies in the very near future.
With the next film in the saga already with a release date (though we don’t know much of anything about the nature of the movie) set for summer 2022 and an adaptation of the computer-generated animated ‘90s series Beast Wars in the works, the dark days of the franchise’s past could very well be behind us, even if we don’t exactly know what’s going on with the Bumblebee sequel. All that being said, let’s dive into what’s next for the Transformers saga. Here is our list of 15 military transformers.

2:44 And propably a Late Griffon engine variant. This is by the looks of the 2-2 Hispano cannons on the wings, opposed to 1-1 Hispanos, and 1-1 Brownings on Merlin variants, and early Griffon spitfires. But the plane you show is an early Merlin variant (propably Mk.IA, or Mk.IB) a Spitfire that used 8 browning mg-s and no Hispano cannons. 5:26 The Vehicle is a MAZ-7310. Actually this truck has seen civillian use in Russia. Altough not as a Missile carrier, but a heavy offroad transporter. 7:22 also fun fact about the Blackbird, it's the fastest true plane, hitting mach 3 at it's top speed, and it uses 2 muscle car engines to fire up it's P&W J58 Turboramjet engines. He doesn't even need to fight, he can basically outfly anyone.

Transformers are Japanese inventions. However, it was not a hit in Japan. An American company bought a license from Japan. That's the "transformers" that Americans know. The biggest influence that American science fiction received from Japan is probably the design of mecha and robots. The robot designs that appeared in "Robocop", "Alien 2", "Avatar", etc. are all imitations of Japanese designs. But most Americans are unaware of this fact.
