I like this trailer. He's got some cool figurines too. Wonder if he's got a big room in his house full of every transformers figure ever made. Maybe he's the ultimate collector.

Well.. I'll watch this movie, as i did with the previous ones, but the more I consider this "rethink the past" idea for TFs, the less I like it.

Not to mention ugly toys, trying to reach human-shaped bodies from vehicle modes (thet're all shellformers :SICK:

).

I only hope that the plot won't be worse than "AOE" but I dont't think this is a risk: AOE had no plot!

The one thing, one, that I'm so torn about I am basically Natalie Imbruglia, is the New!Hopkins.

We've seen him:

- Use camera filters on Instagram.

- Call Michael Bay a genius, on par with Oliver Stone and Steven Spielberg.

- And now, call Mark Wahlberg DUUUDE.

Except neither Bay, Stone, or Spielberg are geniuses.

I find myself much more excited for this film than I did for Age of Extinction. Maybe it's the historical context.

Posted by MrBlack on May 9th, 2017 @ 8:31am CDT

I'll admit, I was starting to get a little...excited isn't the word, but perhaps a bit more optimistic about this film. The basic plot is lame (the secret history of the Transformers on Earth has been a plot point in EVERY Transformers film so far), but the action scenes looked good, and the robot designs have vastly improved. I thought it might be a fun film.

Then we get Anthony Hopkins saying "Duuuuuuude," all the robots are comic relief, and Hot Rod has an OUTRAGEOUS FRENCH ACCENT!!!

Not for me. I'm out.

The "dude" thing had its full context condensed and removed from the MTV clip. There are more lines exchanged between Hopkins and Wahlberg in that scene that the MTV clip cut out and which will hopefully be in the actual movie itself. Said lines provide a better flow for the "dude" line in that Hopkins was using it as a follow up to some of those missing lines, which had Wahlberg being a bit rude and dudebro-ish, leading up to Hopkins playfully mocking Wahlberg's impetuousness with the "dude" line.

What we got here was a case of bad editing that presented an unfortunate misunderstanding of the line.

Did the extended clips you saw also have the tank bot transform back into a tank? because that is that part I found really amateurish in this clip, with bulldog turning into a robot and then just being a tank behind HOpkins in the following scenes.

You know, i showed my wife that film last year because she had not seen it yet and that easily became the best movie we watched in 2016.

It did not. I honestly thought that was a bit weird too, but at the beginning of the footage, Bay said the scenes weren't finished. I just assumed that was an instance of it being unfinished.

Check it out below, and stay tuned for an inevitable better quality version soon!

In other Transformers: The Last Knight news, we have some aural content for you, courtesy of Steve Jablonsky - the slow orchestral track used in recent trailers, which may or may not be the sixth one in the score for the movie. Check it out below and take in the gorgeous visuals, too*!

Sounds ok...but nothing will ever compare to his first score.I have listened to Arrival to Earth more times than I can remember. I still have the original CD I purchased off Amazon on release day...I remember my parents asking me why I'm wasting money on a orchestra score for a Transformers movie. Still one of my favorites in my collection. The CD was sold out, then out of print, and now only downloads to be had. I like the CD best. :BOWDOWN:

the "secret history of transformers" trailer is brilliant.

but no one ever said bay couldnt do a trailer.

its the bleeding movies he's the problem with and i expect it to be as stupid and mystifyingly dull as the others, and prob too long to boot.

i almost feel sorry for the animators. i mean im not a fan of the designs but can well recognize the effort that goes into em. must be gutting to see all that work tied up with the dumbest dialogue ever.

im just this side of keeping an open mind with it though as im intrigued to see what the writers room came up with (and im still fascinated to see how micheal bay can do a film thats meant to have a "girl power/ female empowerment" character in it whilst simultaneously focusing on said 15yr old girls tits bouncing around the screen. that ALONE could be gloriously mental )

STATUS : Expecting shyte , but hopeful.

Listened to the track before it got pulled. I think Jablonsky is the best composer for this series and he's done a good job of making the Transformers scores for the live action films synonymous with him like John Williams is synonymous with Star Wars.

After the Transformers-themed Chinese Coca Cola cans, as reported here, we now also have another company joining The Last Knight's promotional campaigns, as spotted by TFW2005 member Shark! Crush Soda not only has art of Bumblebee, Barricade, Megatron, and Optimus Prime, it also features a promotional free movie ticket with three 12-packs bought. Check out the images below!

In theory you should be able to poke/drill a couple of small holes in the bottom of the cans to drain, then rinse/clean them, if you wanted to safely keep the cans.

The Transformers: The Last Knight marketting campaign is taking a fun turn focusing on the historical implications of Transformers existing alongside humans at pivotal moments. We had a poster based on their appearance throughout history yesterday and today, the official Transformers Twitter feed gave us 5 images of Transformers found throughout history on different mediums, like in world war two, the middle ages and even the American revolution. Enjoy!

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 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.
