Transformers: Rise of the Beasts has been busy shooting across Montreal this summer. The seventh installment in the franchise is set in 1990s-era New York City. Recently, the Transformers production ventured to Parc Jean-Drapeau for what appears to be some exciting scenes.

Many attendees of Piknic Électronik have been able to capture photographs and footage of the forthcoming film’s set on their way to the Museum Stage. Here is a clip of Optimus Prime cruising on the island.
