This whole megatron thing is going to lead to all sorts of fun things before the movies release isn't it.

For now though I think I'll just accept it as is and just move on.

That's where I'm at. I don't understand how people can be confused by this. It's just Megatron. Just accept the fact that he probably changed his name again.

...has anyone at all been confused, or refused to accept the name change? People are just discussing/speculating on how this change might be reflected in the fiction.

Yes, there are people who are confused.

There's a difference between people being confused because they don't get something, and being confused because new information contradicts all the information one currently has, that has been presented to and inferred by them. Guess which one we are

Besides, this is the biggest bit of info that we can actually speculate about

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Alright so what I have gathered here is this:

#1. Megatron possibly has infected Optimus Prime somehow in this new movie and is taking control of him.

#2. Megatron is probably getting a new medieval redesign, probably along with a lot of other characters, due to the name of the movie.

#3. This is only speculation, but I am slightly wondering if since this is called "The Last Knight", and Optimus seems to be under some sort of evil influence, if this will open the way for a Rodimus Prime character to step in. Either that, or since Grimlock and the other Dinobots are called "Knights", maybe Grimlock will have a more prominent role in this movie other than just being a ride-on toy?

#4. If Optimus is in fact NOT being controlled, maybe this purple eyed Optimus is an imposter similar to that of the Optimus imposter from the Transformers Prime show?


Now here are some hopes I have for this movie:

#1. I really hope Soundwave comes back as either just an upgraded form of himself with Rumble or another minion, or as Soundblaster. I also hope that this movie has other characters introduced such as Cyclonus, and possibly some returning characters such as Starscream. I think it would also be cool to see some other Seekers make appearances, even if they don't look anything like Starscream. Another character I am dying to see would be Ultra Magnus.

#2. I Hope most of this movie takes place in space. It seems to be something that the last movie hinted at, and I hope our speculation is correct.

#3. Even though I know most others will disagree with me, I hope there will be at least some references to Sam Witwicky in this movie, if not a full appearance. I think it WOULD be cool to see a more mature Sam Witwicky some years after the whole DOtM thing happened.

All in all, I am pretty excited about this one, and have higher hopes for this one than I did for the previous ones.

I'm talking about people who are confused. I've been reading comment sections on other websites, and there seems to be a lot of people who just don't get it. I've actually read where people have said they're confused.

Well, not around here - that's all I care about, and yeah, I was confused too, as I said, it's likely because it contradicts what we've been told up until now - and not even in a small way - I just happened to roll with it and came up with rational explanations for it.

I honestly can't see how people can be genuinely confused about this, as we've seen how frequently and easily tf's have updated themselves (I mean f$%k, o/p reformatted himself with people inside of him in aoe )

Thanks to Seibertronian Mindmaster we have word that Transformers: The Last Knight now has an official Snapchat. The Snap code has been mirrored below for you to use. For those who do not know how to add it, here is how:

*save this image on their mobile device that supports Snapchat
*open Snapchat, tap the little ghost thing and find "Add Friends"
*hit "Find by Snapcode", select the image, then hit "Add Friend"

As a bonus, the Snapchat is saying that there will be a reveal in 5 days, so download away and prepare for that reveal whatever it may be!

[Seibertron]

Optimus' face shield looks like a Bayverse robotic vagina in the Snapchat logo, which gives a whole new meaning to "snapchat".

Can't wait for the reveals!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Cannot. Unsee. Nor. Undo. Dammit.

I. Don't. Get. Paid. Enough. For. This. Snizzlesnit.

[SlyTF1]

I literally don't even know what Snapchat is. Let alone, how Transformers information is supposed to be coming to it.

It's stuff that does things


It's a social media thing - I don't use it

I do use it occasionally, and it is quite dumb, yet occasionally fun.

[Va'al]

I cannot get Snapchat. Nuhuh. Bad associations with people I don't want to see what they're up to. Ungh.

I'm not so bad... It's mainly just me cracking horrible puns, cats, Transformers here and there, and my ugly mug!

You don't want it. It would interfere with your plans for world domination.

And Seibertron, thank you for the lovely image. But now at least I can say "I'm going to make out with AoE Prime" when I'm referring to something else entirely.

[Sabrblade]

Optimus now has Buster's mouthplate.

Me neither. Don't use it, don't care. I don't even use Twitter anymore.

A couple things I thought of this morning I thought would be good speculation pieces:

#1. This image of "Megatron" may in fact not be Megatron. I was thinking about this earlier, and am now wondering if this is in fact a new character in SEARCH for Megatron. Sort of like Lugnut from TF Animated.

#2. That morse code message teased a couple days ago is very intriguing. This most definitely is not a new Decepticon doing this message, since "I'm coming for you humans" seems to signify that whoever sending this message has a hate for the humans possibly due to some sort of past defeat relating to them. This also, though may be Megatron, seems unlikely to be Megatron. However, you know what character we still don't know exactly what happened to? Soundwave. A morse code message seems to be something Soundwave would do, and after DotM, we still don't know exactly what happened to Soundwave. Maybe we will see this cold-hearted Decepticon's return in this new movie? Personally, I think that would be amazing.

Er...Soundwave was killed in DotM.

Seemingly, however it is quite possible that he can return somehow. Megatron lost his head, and he returned. Soundwave was shot from within his chest cavity, but it is not 100% definite that he is permanently dead. I don't exactly remember, but from I can remember, that's the last time we saw him. It is quite possible that he may return in a form such as "Soundblaster". I know it's speculation, and it probably is not going to happen, but it seems like something that Bay would do. I think we are going to see some returning Decepticons, and I am hoping they do Cyclonus in some form.

[Sigma Magnus]

That could work. Though it'd be a bit odd for me to see him as a bad guy again after MTMtE. But I'd adjust.

I hope Cyclonus is kinda like Lockdown to where he's on nobody's side. Either that or he is only loyal to Galvatron, and doesn't care what any other Decepticon or Autobot thinks. Kinda like... SOUNDWAVE.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm not sure how they could bring back wave. When Bee killed him, he shot him through the chest upwards, blowing his head up and off in the process. So his head and spark are kinda kablamo...

And no bad guy Cyclonus. MTMTE has done too good a job making him an awesome character

[Kurona]

They could easily bring back Soundwave. They just have to whip up some revival tech consisting of 50% nostalgic value and recognition, 49.9999% branding potential, and 0.0001% effort at actually explaining how he came back.

Soundwave is a popular character and one of the main Decepticons in the entire Transformers franchise. If they want to bring him back, they'll bring him back - which honestly makes killing off key characters like him a mistake as it only makes it a hassle to explain later. Like with Megatron in ROTF. And Megatron in DoTM. And Megatron-Galvatron in AoE. And Megatron in this movie.

Exactly. That's why not too much brain twisting speculation is needed when it comes to Bay movies. All you have to do really is see what characters characters were most popular, and then just guess that they'll come back. Heck, Barricade might even come back.

[Emerje]

I think they could easily explain a Soundwave return by saying the one that was destroyed was simply a drone controlled by the satellite Soundwave staying safe up in space. That isn't at all outside the realm of Soundwave's capabilities in just about any fiction with all of his minions and drones. Heck, they could write off just about any Decepticon death by saying it was Soundwave's puppet.
