As much as a fan of these movies I am I have to admit that some of these photos make no sense specifically Tlk Megatron and Ironhide being there.
That's why I think some of these are only for promotional advertising only.

Kiiiinda contradicts their arrival in the first movie, but I'd be lying if I said this doesn't look kinda cool.
I hope we get toys of these designs, Hasbro, if you can read this, now is the time to repaint DOTM Legion Flak! He already has a Bumblebee-esque head!

This is the first time I've been impressed by something related to Bumblebee. Actually, it might be the second time, but I forgot what the first time was.

This would have been way cooler if it didn't contradict everything in the last four movies. 'Bee and Ironhide active during WW II? I guess those were some other 'bots who came to Earth in the first movie. Megatron active in the late 1880s? Guess that was his twin brother frozen in the ice for thousands of years.
I just hope there's a better explanation than "we're ignoring the previous movies to start our own continuity."

Paramount has provided us with a new poster from next month's Transformers The Last Knight. This new poster, titled "Every Legend Hides A Secret", features Bumblebee (or at least a Transformer that looks very similar to Bumblebee) confronting a building flanked with Nazi flags presumably during World War II. In addition, we now have a larger version of the new "They Have Been Here Forever" poster from yesterday.

I agree about Ironhide and Megatron (Although for Ironhide's case it is never stated it's their first time on Earth but this is just a loose excuse because it's still stupid)
But Bumblebee was already on Earth for some time before he came to Sam we just have not known how long until now so Bee being there does not break continuity.

I think that the idea fo giant stealth robots interacting with humans could generate thousands of movies itself, without messing around with this "rethink the past" idea, which is a complete reboot.

Agreed although the room with the stuff is in the movie itself since it was in the Imax prview.
I do think the ones with Bee, Hound, Drift, "Bulldog" (Tank guy), Hot Rod and the old knights are actually canon events some of them like Hot Rod are obviously using their obviously non canon at the time modern looks so the general audience can tell who they are.
I can see Hound and Drift being on Earth before the first movie since we don't know when they actually arrived the question is what were they doing I can see Drift being a loner and not participating if he is a former Decepticon like the toy bios state but unless Hound's on some secret missions for Prime I can't see why he never joined up during say ROTF or DOTM.
I remember at the end of the imax event there was a "trailer" that so far has not been released on the net and one of the clips was of Hot Rod also attacking the Nazi's at night although until now I thought that was a scene that took place during the present so it seems that both Bee and Hot Rod were working together for sometime before the two were separated with Bee doing scouting or something and Hot Rod working with The Order of the Witwiccans also since it was a blink or miss it moment I could not tell if Hot Rod had some new military kibble like Bumblebee.

They look exactly like them though and while Megatron's new look could be inspired by this "other" guy the Ironhide guy has the exact same look with all the kibble that should not exist at the time which is WW1 you can tell with the soldiers as well as sharing the same black color as him.
I don't see people reusing Ironhide's exact look as another character.

It would be interesting to see the Transformers being a part of Earth history, but I think that the concept will get old pretty quick since human history and Cybertronian history intertwining has been a theme since Revenge of the Fallen.
As for me, a Transformers movie taking place entirely on Cybertron with nothing but our favorite robotic characters as the cast is a popcorn movie for me.

Okay, so what if it's a time travel thing to undo the future, AKA Future's Pasting the whole thing? Like, everything that's happened has caught Unicron's attention and they need to go undo a few things by traveling to the past? Or maybe the Decepticons go into the past and ruin stuff, and they have to go back in time to fight back (A Decepticon In King Arthur's Court)?
It's one of the only things that would make sense given all the guys who were protoforms coming to Earth suddenly showing up in the forties.
Meaningless speculative plot that will probably be entirely unlike the movie:
So what if the Allspark was the Matrix of Leadership in this timeline, being the one thing, the only thing to stop Unicron from eating the universe? And, finding out that it's gone, Unicron scoots on over to Earth to have a feast since that seems to be turning into Cybertron Mark II.
So, after the Decepticons find a way to time travel, they figure that if they went back in time to wake Megatron, they could take Earth and the Allspark before the Autobots even caught wind that it even was on Earth to begin with. That way, when they poop on Autobots by establishing a stronghold, they could even use the Energon Harvester and the Allspark-made robots to fight back against Unicron, and after him, the rest of the galaxy.
But, a select few of Autobots catch on and head back in time as well, hijacking the Decepticon's time machine to stop them (likely Bee, Hound and such) and they send word to their past forces that the war has a new battleground, which is why so many Transformers show up in the past, including the ones that are supposed to be dead.
In other words, friggin' Days of Future's Past.
Hopefully.
Things are super convoluted right now.

I had been thinking this was all the result of the Transformers in the present being 'time scattered' into the past at some point in the movie and having to make do until they could find their way back to the present (possibly the long way - by waiting) but Ironhide does muck with that idea.
Odd, though, that he's the only deceased model they've used for this promotion. If they were just throwing out things to look cool, without it having any actual bearing on the movie, you'd expect to see more 'retired' animation models with tweaked details.
Though to be fair I suppose a lot of characters' alternate modes are pretty recognizable. Starscream, Blackout/Grindor, Bonecrusher, Barricade, Soundwave, and the Constructicons... they really have pretty recognizable kibble. Brawl and DotM Megatron are about the only ones among the previous Decepticons I could see getting a vintage face-lift - Maybe Galvatron since he didn't really look like anything. And the Autobots are pretty similar; Ratchet and Jazz's chests would need to be altered pretty heavily to make them look like anything other than a Hummer and a Solstice, respectively.
A picture of Jetfire during the Cold War would have been cool, though.

Just kidding because this was meant to be a G1 version of DOTM Flak even though a g1 Flak already exists but it's kinda funny how much a military Bumblebee works maybe Bee lost his voice to the traumas of war
I can imagine the PTSD already

Fellow Seibertronian Deadput has spotted another Steve Jablonsky music clip on YouTube, this time probably the fifth track from the score to the upcoming live-action movie Transformers: The Last Knight. The previous one had disappeared then reappeared, so you way want to listen to this quick before it gets taken down!

It could be time travel maybe Bay and the crew were inspired by the rumors of time travel that like Unicron has been something people keep saying is going to happen since ROTF.
Maybe this "supposed" early draft for TF4 "AOE" had something to do with it? (Still don't know if it was legit or not)
Edit: Can't attach PDF files can someone tell me how I can post the file?

Might also be interesting if they mash together the idea of Unicron with the storyline in IDW where Shockwave tried to stop time. The name "Unicron" is sort of suggestive of a temporal singularity.
I imagine that stopping time, and effectively eliminating the concept of "change", would cost Unicron street cred as a god of "chaos" but I always thought his motivation to consume everything in existence ran contrary to that anyway (Primus seems more like chaos, and Unicron order) and if one considers Unicron's general motives, rewinding the universe back to the beginning of time might actually be more practical than eating literally everything.

Yes! Barricade is on my favorite flavor!
I would lie if I said I didn't love that WWII Bee. At least we now seem to know why Bay was blowing up a Churchill home with Nazi flags: Bee was doing it. And he looks really good in WWII kibble. I join the group who like the idea of the voyager toy being his WWII self.
And if he and Hot Rod were both active during WWII, it would make a sort of sense. Hot Rod was a protector of Laura Haddock's character and potentially her family before that, so he could have been around a long time. Bee comes to Earth to track the Allspark and Megatron, and is here for a lot longer than we though he was. He and Hot Rod meet up and bond, hence the brotherhood the 2 share. Rod goes back to being a silent guardian while Bee goes on with his mission.
Also, Seibs said months ago this film would feel like much more of a reboot than the 4th film, and I think we are finally seeing that effect. WWII and other versions of characters would be cool though, and Drift actually had some kibble change for his samurai look, so there is that. And since we never got the story of how Hound, Crosshairs, and Drift came to Earth, that can be played with, what with Hound being a barbarian fighter or something, Drift basically creating the Samurai, and IDK Crosshairs could be the inspiration for the trenchcoat and he worked with Sherlock Holmes himself.

And since we never got the story of how Hound, Crosshairs, and Drift came to Earth, that can be played with, what with Hound being a barbarian fighter or something, Drift basically creating the Samurai, and IDK Crosshairs could be the inspiration for the trenchcoat and he worked with Sherlock Holmes himself.

I mean, they look ugly, but call them demons..?
('And demons appeared', says the Latin on the left. The one on the right - 'conior' - means nothing, or is a wrong version of 'to try' - which is ironic really, cos it failed.)
And why is Megatron treating Krakatoa like a British firework display?

Honestly if we were being attacked by big transformers in real life I'm sure quite a few people would call or think of them as demons.
Plus Demon doesn't have to be literal for example in the Halo games the Master Chief was called Demon by the Covenant both as an insult and as a sign of respect.

Am I right in thinking there's no native American art in any of the promos? Or African?
The collection seems to be confined to western civilizations, aside from the picture of Drift in Japan, and that's a photograph, so it was presumably taken after the intervention of European interests in Japanese culture.

I was looking for the same thing as I was choosing the images for the story, and you appear to be correct. Other than Krakatoa (in Western accounts) and the pyramids from ROTF, there has been very little contact with US/European civilisations in the story told so far.
China comes in during modern times, and as you point out, Japan may be more during colonial times too.
EDIT: There is one shot of Frederick Douglass, but that's it!

These movies have done the ridiculous and people are complaining about the bots being involved through history lol.
They've kept the plot guarded but I wouldn't be surprised if excalibur is a cybertronian relic that can either go back in time or if it is a portal device to step through history.

I wonder if they'll somehow tie in Sam Witwicky's family because there is a newspaper article in the background with Sam's Great-Grandfather Archibald and the photo with Hot Rod, the plaque says 'The Order of the Witwiccans 1901'. Plus, in one of the original teasers, Anthony Hopkins says 'No sacrifice, no victory' to some extent. I wonder if he is related somehow?

Excalibur being a Cybertronian weapon is granted at this point most likely especially with the gun sword from AOE.
I do enjoy the "twist" that Merlin wasn't an actual wizard or used real magic but he had connections with Cybertronians like how Sam Witwicky and Cade Yeager did and that those events were retold as a story or folk tale with magic and other exaggerations.
I wonder if the Lady of the Lake or the sword in the stone will be retold in the movie too I hope so I also like how the movie has a bunch of the different Knights of the Round table including some of the more obscure ones.
I really love the old Knights tales so this Transformer movie is already the best one to me even if they go all retcon on events or reset the movies with time travel.

In the imax preview event that some people including myself saw when Cade, Bee and Cogman arrive at Hopkin's castle Hopkin's character states that he recognizes Bumblebee from when he was a kid.
So chances are that he is a relative to the Witwicky family or more likely the Witwickys split off from the Witwiccans at some point maybe by someone who no longer wanted to be part of the order but that last bit is just speculation and guessing on my part.

Transformers have a secret link to Earth's past? What a creative idea. I've never seen that before.
Unless you count the previous four Bayformers movies.

And G1 as well as every Transformer show ever.
Really besides the Transformers themselves Cybertron having connections to Earth is one of the staples on the franchise.
It's not the concept of the idea it's what one does with that idea that makes or breaks it.

Gotta say, I really dig the idea of Transformers being present throughout human history. As long as it's not through time travel. Of course, the whole idea is a little ridiculous but I just like it.
And if the Bumblebee spinoff isn't about him killing Nazis during World War II I will be very disappointed.

Has it been said how long TLK will be? AoE was almost 3 hours. I hope they trim this one down to around 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes.
Also, considering Bumblebee is getting his own movie, I would love to see Megatron get his own movie as well, showing how he went from a gladiator to the Decepticon leader. I realize that Bumblebee is getting his own movie just so Hasbro can sell toys, and that the story of Megatron is available in the comics, but it would be neat to see it in live action form, even if it was straight-to-DVD.

I hope it's at LEAST 3 and a half hours. Bigger is always better.
Mainly movie Bumblebee. But I've never cared about any other Bumblebee either, so I'll say Bumblebee in general.
