How different will it be from what we've seen already? Will it interest enough to warrant watching the latest instalment in the live-action franchise? Let us know in the Energon Pub, before, during and after the new clip emerges!
PREVIOUS: Word is leaking out about which movies will claim TV spots during the Super Bowl on Sunday. Paramount will run a Transformers: The Last Knight trailer during the game, while its anime adaptation Ghost in the Shell starring Scarlett Johansson will have a spot before kickoff.
It’s going to be interesting to see what Paramount does with Ghost in the Shell. The Melrose lot has employed a rather clever campaign for the film, “hacking” the Mr. Robot finale and running logo-less clips from the movie between commercials. Ghost in the Shell hits theaters on March 31. Transformers: The Last Knight will debut on June 23, leading up to the Fourth of July holiday stretch.

All the super bowl trailers have had new footage. 2007, Dotm like TLK had trailers before the superbowl spot and they had new footage so I don't see why this super bowl would not.
I don't think paramount would try to get an ad for the movie in the Superbowl if it was just going to be the first trailer in a different order plus they have already had two spots on youtube that did that and i don't see a third one doing the same.

If the first trailer and this screenshot says anything it's that the CGI is going to be great in this movie.
I'm actually really excited to see this film in a few months especially since most of the details are still kept secret and we haven't seen major leaks like the Sentinel Prime is evil and kills Ironhide leak disaster from DOTM which spoiled a bit of the movie for me.

AOE had the best CG.

I would like to argue and say that DOTM had the best Cgi but seriously AOE had some of the worst when it came to the new designs it felt less real and was super fake looking at times.
Only times I thought it looked great were when they were using the old designs or designs that were less streamlined and smooth like with Ratchets death, Prime and Bee's evasion forms, any of the KSI Transformers besides Galvatron.
I like the designs for the main AOE cast and Lockdown but they did not look that real on the screen compared to DOTM since they were all super shiny and stuff and it was like with Tarkin and Leia in Rogue one where its not bad but you can tell its fake.
It's your opinion though so if you think its the best good for you but I'm just saying my opinion that AOE's Cgi effects were meh.

Are you ready for tomorrow?
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.
The admin for Michael Bay's website has posted that the spot itself will air in the 2nd quarter, 2nd commercial break (somewhere around 7:30pm EST). As a reminder, the spot we will see today is shorter (30 seconds) than the one revealed at the event itself (55 seconds).
And finally, it appears that the spot initially timeslotted for 6 am in some timezone, may actually be confirmed for 9 am PST. Keep your optics tuned, whatever the case, as we will bring you news as it breaks here on Seibertron.com!

Like who?
Good is a subjective opinion there is no universal answer to who is the best choice and you know why?
Because there is no best choice that's how life works there is no perfect choice or ways to do things Bay leaving the movies isn't going to magically make them amazing and there is all the other people who work on the movies like producers and screen writers.
What would you do to make the movies "better" more robot screen time, no humans in a human made franchise?

When did they say that? From all of the interviews and news articles I've read, they've never mentioned it being only Grimlock in the movie. They always said "the return of the dinobots" with the addition of newer minidinobots. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

*Hopefully* what we are not seeing is Grimlock getting killed off (ala Leadfoot and Ratchet in AoE) . You don't kill the family dog...you just don't.

Mark Walhberg mentioned mini dinobots, so not what we previously saw. And the producer said that grimlock has a role in the begining.
And thats it. There has been no mention of all the dinobots from the previous film returning, please show me where you read that.
Here is the mention:
So is it more than Grimlock, or mostly Grimlock?
Di Bonaventura: There’s a few others, but Grimlock is, to me–I like Grimlock the most, so that’s probably why I talk the most about it, you know? And I just saw a sequence, so that’s probably why it’s on the top of my head. He’s funny. He’s like a naughty dog in this movie. He’s really sheepish when he does something wrong. He’s a great character. He’s really–we’re bringing out a side of him that you’re going to like–you’re going to relate to.
From reading that, I would really not put my hopes up to see anything more than grimlock with significant screentime.

We are all no doubt aware of the impeccable continuity from one movie to the next, so we know how improbably it is that a character would either appear or disappear without any explanation.

I actually had no idea any Dinobots would be in this film, but this now even raises my suspicions. Looks like Cemetery Wind, or something worse still exists. Probably all the other Dinobots were hunted down in between films and Grimlock is the last... ...Really hope I am wrong.

How to make the movies "better"? How about internal logical consistency within the narrative and/or the franchise?

I agree with your statement that removing Michael Bay does not automatically make the movie franchise better, but this above statement puzzles me. Are you stating that just because we are humans, and we make films, that the films themselves have to have human characters? Or are you saying that because this particular version of Transformers relies heavily on human characters over the past 5 films, that all-of-a-sudden removing them would not make things better?
In either case, the best 3 movies in TF history (yes I know this is my opinion but...) were:
1.Transformers:The Movie (1986) -very little human involvement
2. Predacons Rising -zero humans &
3. Beast Wars II: Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger -zero humans
My ideal Transformers film would be one with no humans, taking place perhaps between Cybertron and other Alien Worlds, but whether or not that could be done with this franchise, or require a full reboot I guess remains to be seen.
All that being said, I don't hate the current film series as many fans do. I really liked the first film, the 2nd and 3rd had great action sequences, but the human cast killed it for me, so I very rarely watch them. The 4th film actually made a great choice ditching most of the humans from the first 3 and replacing them with *better* choices IMHO. As for this 5th film, I reserve judgment until I actually see it.

No the toy seen so far does not have that.
I don't see anyone rushing Bee?
So Optimus accepts a mission of redemption from his creators? Willingly or what?
Also, with Grimlock: does it look like he is teleporting right into the ground? It just looks like he shows up magically in a blast of dirt

maybe Bee nicked the hammer from Solus Prime(the alien female voiced creator) (just a theory)
btw Grimlock is tunneling up from out of the ground

Wow. When I think Grimlock, I do not think "Sheepish, naughty dog." Even in the last film, his first action was transform and attack! I despair.

I actually really like the forge of solus prime idea, but judging by the matching yellow on the hammer I think it's Bumblebee's.

Cars is a human made franchise and they dont have any humans in it, so I dont really get that last point.
And the toys in Toy story have waaaaaay more screen time than any human. So I really dont think thats related to anything.
Also, that Combiner Wars youtube show had no humans... oh wait, forget that last part.
