• Filming began in Cuba in the spring of 2016. It is the second Hollywood film to be shot on the territory of that country.
• The film was shot in Iceland, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Cuba, Michigan, Arizona, Namibia, and California. Some episodes of the film were shot at Stonehenge.
• The scene of Sir Edmund Burton visiting 10 Downing Street was indeed filmed at the British Prime Minister's residence in October.
• Blenheim Palace was equipped to serve as the headquarters for the Nazis. This caused a storm of indignation among British war veterans.
• The image of Megatron in this film is based on Cyclonus from the "Transformers" cartoon (1984-1987) – both have helmets adorned with horn-like protrusions, and both transform into fighter jets.
• Cogman is a Headmaster – a Transformer composed of two bodies (each of which has two modes of operation, each performing its own role).
• Quintessa's appearance is based on Alpha Q from the "Transformers: Energon" cartoon (2004), where he was voiced by Trevor Devall (the upper part of the torso is humanoid, and tentacles instead of legs), and her face is similar to that of Quintesson in the "Transformers" cartoon (1984-1987) – the face and headdress. The headdress features elements of Autobot and Decepticon insignia, emphasizing her involvement in the creation of Transformers.
• Screenwriter Matt Holloway is a huge fan of the series "Downton Abbey" (2010-2015). He once jokingly stated that the role of Cogman should be voiced by Jim Carter (who played Charles Carson in the series). Director and producer Michael Bay immediately signed Carter for the film.
• Some scenes were filmed at Stonehenge. Director and producer Michael Bay wanted to film an explosion there, but did not receive permission, so a set of Stonehenge had to be built to film the explosion scene.
• Filming of the movie began in Cuba in the spring of 2016. It was the second Hollywood film to be shot on the territory of this state.
• The original version of the film was reportedly much longer, and approximately an hour of footage was cut for theatrical release. The filmmakers admitted that there were production difficulties with this film, resulting in a lot of material being planned and shot that never made it into the final version.
• The image of Megatron in this film is based on Cyclonus from the “Transformers” cartoon (1984-1987) – both characters have helmets adorned with horn-like protrusions and both transform into fighter jets.
