A new viral video showed up on the Transformers Twitter account with the caption "Something wicked this way comes #Transformers". The video shows  a file with the number 21.63 Date: 10. The rest of the date is covered in black, but both numbers are underneath the United States State Department title and logo.

Along with the image, there is morse code, which via Screenrant translation, says "E I'm Coming For You May 31st."

Hopefully, we'll learn more about who the Transformers are up against on May 31st, but in the meantime its fun to speculate just who that might be. Smart money is on Unicron, who is aside from Megatron the franchise's most recognizable villain. It would make sense that Director Michael Bay would bring everyone back together for a villain of that scale, as Unicron consumes whole planets and stars on a regular basis. His alternate form isn't just a spaceship or a car, but an entire planet.

Seeing as Transformers: Age of Extinction teases more information about the creation of the Prime legacy, it would stand to reason that his opposition in the last knight would be the same enemy of Primus.

For all the flack he gets about these movies, I would still like to see Bay take on Unicron before he exits the franchise. Transformers: The Last Knight is slated for release on June 23rd, 2017.

10 Best and Worst Rapper Name Changes

Rappers changing their stage name is a common occurrence in hip-hop. In fact, it’s hard to find any artist who has not gone by a different alias at some point in their career.But most of these changes occur early on in a rapper’s career, before the lights beginning shining too bright. A neighborhood nickname someone records a couple tracks under may get thrown to the side for something more commanding and distinct. Your name is your brand and will follow you throughout your career.

One of the more interesting phenomenon in hip-hop is established artists changing their name. For whatever reason, rappers will take all the capital they’ve built in a stage name and throw it right out the window. Some of these changes have worked quite well, while others have flopped immediately. Here at The Boombox, we have examined 10 notable examples of these successful and failed name changes in hip-hop.

Here’s What Really Happened To The Cars From ‘Pimp My Ride’

“Pimp My Ride” premiered on MTV in 2004 with a straightforward premise that was beautiful in its simplicity: Take a kid with a beat up car and have the rapper Xzibit orchestrate a massive and ridiculous upgrade. The theme song explained it all in just a few lines: “So you wanna be a player, but your wheels ain’t fly / You gotta hit us up, to get a pimp’t out ride.”

But although the show operated within such a minimal framework, things were a bit more complicated behind the scenes. From cars that would break down in a matter of weeks to fat-shaming a contestant to one MTV employee apparently trying to convince another car owner to break up with his girlfriend, there was a lot more to the creation of this show than Xzibit simply saying, “Yo dawg.”

Crushed TV Dreams: MTV’s ‘Pimp My Ride’ Had Us All Fooled

Chalk it up to TV magic if you wish, but it turns out the legendary Pimp My Ride wasn’t what it seemed.

In a new (and rather disappointing) investigation by The Huffington Post, several contestants from the show stripped back Xzibit and company’s pimped-out-car miracles and revealed some behind-the-scenes faux pas. Through interviews with Season 4’s Jeff Glazier, Season 6’s Seth Martino and Justin Dearinger, and former co-executive producer Larry Hochberg, a few little-known secrets about the former hit show were revealed.

Here are a few things you’d (probably) be surprised to know:

The final “pimped out” rides didn’t actually, well, ride.

The Game - The Documentary 2

It’s here. After months of song releases, updates, and teasers, Game dropped the first of the two installments of The Documentary 2.

The Documentary sold five million copies and is considered by many to be a new-age West Coast classic. Ten years later, is the sequel more like The Godfather, Part II, or Rocky V?

The title is appropriate; The Documentary 2 finds Game returning to his stomping grounds of Compton, California, in a more consistent and dedicated way than he’s done since his debut. While Compton’s gang life has been Game’s muse for a decade now, the music stays fresh because of how he approaches it.

This Custom Pike’s Peak Racer Is From A Post Apocalyptic Future

7


You’re looking at the Magpul Ronin bike named “Oishi Yoshio”, in honor of the 47 Ronin leader. This unorthodox motorcycle claimed second at the 2015 Pike’s Peak Hillclimb, a feat usually reserved for factory-backed machines and budgets as tall as the peak itself.

Even though the bike has a 185 horsepower EBR 1190RX engine underneath its anime-inspired bodywork, the 375 lbs-when-wet racer was hitting the course for the very first time. The team and its rider, Travis Newbold, are surely overjoyed by its debut.
