Makes sense. A previous interview or interviews did describe him and Cade being on opposing sides at first.Deadput wrote:Lennox is in the picture as well so this must be part of the scene where he meets Megatron in the desert.

It's either that or Lennox is trying to talk Megatron into helping in the fight agianst murder-Prime.

A fellow fan reported finding the following:
I found the Tiny Turbo Changers at a Walmart in Ogden, Utah today. They retail for $2.97.
Also, HTS has them online right now for the same price as toysrus if you are interested:

Below is the technical explanation regarding the name translation pattern of the previous movie toylines from Sabreblade followed by an example of the Katakana and Kanji found on the boxes.
Sabrblade wrote:Anyone else notice that the Japanese logo for the movie doesn't have any Katakana in its subheading?
Of the previous four films, all three of the sequels were given different names from the English ones for their respective Japanese releases, but whose subheadings were all still foreign word names rendered in Katakana:
ROTF: トランスフォーマー リベンジ Toransufōmā Ribenji, "Transformers: Revenge"
DOTM:トランスフォーマー ダークサイド・ムーン Toransufōmā Dākusaido Mūn, "Transformers: Darkside Moon"
AOE:トランスフォーマー ロストエイジ Toransufōmā Rosuto Eiji, "Transformers: Lost Age"
Here, however, the title's subheading is instead rendered in Kanji (along with a の Hiragana):
トランスフォーマー最後の騎士王 Toransufōmā Saigo no Kishi-ō, which means "Transformers: The Last Knight King"
This sounds to me like it could give a bit more context as to who the titular knight is. He's not just a knight, but the king of the knights.

“Michael’s sets are practical, so you would think that maybe 90 percent of this film is done on green screen, and it’s really not,” Haddock tells EW. “He loves an explosion. He absolutely loves them, so if he can use them safely, he will. Often you’re running through what feels like a genuine … battlefield. Something that kind of builds your adrenaline. You’re absolutely experience what it feels like to have an explosion go off just behind you. And you’re just running, running for your life.”

PROS:
The Transformers brand remains hugely popular both in North America and around the world. Regardless of how it performs in the States, this should once again mark a bright financial spot on Paramount’s bottom line when global box office is taken into account.
Excluding The Mummy, this stands as one of June’s few summer tentpole options aimed squarely at the male audience. Adult fans and teenage boys alike should once again drive the bulk of business.
Twitter activity has been quite respectable, especially in terms of sentiment which registers more positive than it did for Age of Extinction at the same point before release (driven by encouraging trailers thus far).
The return of Mark Wahlberg ensures the franchise still has some star power to help it out. Fans may also be intrigued by the addition of Anthony Hopkins, who features prominently in the trailers.
For another fan-specific interest: this marks the beginning of the next “era” of the franchise as it’s the first installment to come out of the writers’ room established by the studio to map out where future editions will go.
CONS:
As with most series five films deep into their run, some continued diminished returns are expected here. The previous two films each declined from the series’ domestic box office peak (2009’s Revenge of the Fallen with $402 million). With the previous entry specifically generating strong criticism even from the target audience, it’s highly likely this film continues that trend on opening weekend.
Being sandwiched in between Cars 3 and Despicable Me 3 could potentially (if not likely) cut into young male viewership.
With Spider-Man: Homecoming, War for the Planet of the Apes, and Dunkirk all looming in July, the older male crowd is going to be a tough sell on this sequel.
While the franchise remains a pillar among franchises with over 32 million Facebook fans as of this writing, its day-to-day growth is not currently as healthy as it was at the same point before Extinction‘s release. Flixster is also a source of concern relative to past franchise standards.

Last Knight really is one of only two films I actually want to see in the cinema this year. The other one was Logan which I already did see (and loved). Nothing else this year appeals to me, certainly not more MCU and Star Wars stuff (I'd like to pretend The Force Awakens was just a bad fan-film)

Could swear I've seen it happen with other movie franchise adverts where they take things without realising the context. Can't say I mind, it's always funny

We have no idea that Optimus is "evil".
It's a corporate ad featuring clips from an up-coming movie.

Sabrblade wrote:You know, as I was typing that post, I Googled 騎士王 (Kishi-ō, "Knight King") to see what would come up and the first result that came up was the Chinese Wikipedia article for King Arthur, 亚瑟王 (Yàsèwáng). Could be a coincidence (as those are not the same three Kanji as those I Googled, save for the third one), but I did find it funny what with all the Arthurian stuff going on in this movie.
I actually talked with my wife about the Japanese title for the movie. She said the title of 最後の騎士王 should translate out to "The Last King (or Ruler/Champion/Master) of the Knights"
So who the last King of the Knights could be referring to, is anyone's guess at this point. I'm guessing though it's in reference to Prime and Cade.

We posted the TV Spot below which contains updated footage from previous trailers. One of the messages says that "the embargo will life on April 28th". We think this has to do with press releases or interviews with the media. As more information becomes available we will keep you posted.

My guess is that neither Prime nor Bumblebee die, but I think Prime is far more likely to bite it. He has a history of coming back from the dead, after all.
Posted by Deadput on May 5th, 2017 @ 12:52pm CDT
But lol at people thinking Bee's actually going to die after what happened back in 1986 Bee is literally the character kids adore most in Transformers which is why he has been used so much and has had so many toys.

Bumblebee is as popular if not more than Optimus.
They have recently revealed Bumblebee to be alive in the IDW comics.
Due to the nuber across the board, particularly in the cheeper deluxe class (though not for TLK in the UK it's like 20 quid, a decade back it was 10 quid) Bee probably sells most toys.
Optimus is one of the villains of the film.
Bumblebee is the lead of the current Cartoon series.
Hot Rod is also in the film.
Optimus has enough deaths to warrant a wiki article about them.
Bee does not.
It all points in one of several directions.
Path 1
-Bumblebee manages to overpower Optimus and he dies.
-Hot Rod becomes Rodimus and suceeds Optimus
-OR-
-Bumblebee suceeds Optimus.
Path 2
-Bumblebee is severely injured
-Bumblebee is repaired.
-OR-
-Bumblebee is rebuilt as Goldbug
They aren't killing Bumblebee

You wrote a lot of good stuff and I totally agree that BB isnt dieing. these characters dont die and if they do, its not long, so no one should worry or lose sleep over arguing about it.
But I did want to comment on that line of yours. I really believe that Optimus is way more popular than Bumblebee. Of course, I dont have any numbers on the top of my head to back that up, but the films so far have gone out of their way to give him the great action set pieces instead of BB and I feel he is more popular than any other giant robot be it transformers related or not.
I even believe that Optimus Prime is as popular now as *gasp* Batman.
PS: I initially wrote "superman" but I realize that while that legacy is incredible, Superman is not as popular as he once was and batman has beaten him in sales loooooong ago.
