Paramount Bought Super Bowl Ad, Transformers: The Last Knight or Baywatch Rumoured to Air

It'll be the Transformers/Baywatch crossover we all knew was coming.

...just Watch Bay do that.

Every time I watch the first trailer, and I see them exploring the giant sphincter-looking thing under the ocean, I think "Is that the Nemesis, or Unicron's butthole?" Maybe Unicron is traveling the cosmos to Earth to angrily retrieve his long lost sphincter.

Does that mean we'll see Beachcomber in it then

Still wanting that Prime image as a poster on my wall please thank you.

I mean on one of my many walls. I have more than one wall.

Lucky you, I only have one wall. I never did recover from that stock market crash.

god, why does this movie entice me so much more than the last 3? for some very dumb reason i really want to see it.

The Last Knight confirmed for spot at superbowl
http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/01/31/conf ... m=facebook

On notification from fellow Seibertronian Stuartmaximus, we went to find the source of some new information about the upcoming Super Bowl (this Sunday 5th February) and the rumoured Paramount slots during the adverts. According to Deadline, again, Transformers: The Last Knight is most definitely planned to be shown during the 'game'!

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.

It should be Sunday, February 5th.

We will probably get one new scene or shot in it/

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.

Yep, 5th February it is!

Looks like we are getting something tomorrow

LET'S GO!!!

You know despite what some people say about the movies seeing this screenshot once again reminds me about how fantastic the cgi is with the exception of AOE which was good but not amazing.


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.

Letter from Bay
http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/02/03/lett ... bay-332352

Bay said the trailer is dropping at 6AM.

No idea what time zone he's talking about, but I'm definitely staying up until it drops. It feels like Christmas Eve.

Btw are the staff asleep? coz i would've thought that some of these recent posts would've been newsworthy on the main page

We try to sleep sometimes, too, yes. You know, lives.
We remind all users that the best way to help us out is by submitting news via the channels that alert us to a notification - like sending an email to news staff or using the 'submit news' form!


Staff has to keep an eye on the boards and on all the possible social media platforms; things can get missed, especially at busy times.

Via a number of notifications from fellow Seibetronians, we have two new pieces of news rolled in one regarding Michael Bay and his latest project with Paramount - Transformers: The Last Knight. According to the director himself, the new trailer, the one that will air during the Super Bowl, will make its appearance at 6 am (speculating Central Time, but we may not be correct on that), and then again after it airs at the event, with an extended chunk of material.

Funny? coz previous posts of mine that made the front page weren't first submitted that way!

it just goes to show that when it comes to the front page, that this website plays second fiddle to the likes of TFW2005 ect...when breaking SOME news items.


Oh...wait.....sorry....did i say that out loud! i have a habit of doing that

Sorry if this is offtopic but the Forums button on the main website says it's an error?

As I said, some things can slip. That doesn't mean all of them, just some of them. Does that make sense? Some is not all. Just some.

We're glad to have you here to help us, by the way! Hope you enjoy the community.

Yes, thanks

let's hope everything's on the ball over the weekend when those tv spots drop

A couple of additional details concerning the new Super Bowl spot for Transformers: The Last Knight, coming from various corners of the internet. From the official Facebook page, we have a longer version of the synopsis for the movie, and a reminder of the new spot with the new image of Optimus Prime's face.

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!

Can he please just keep his friggin word and leave the franchise so these movies MAY actually be able to get someone GOOD making them.

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?

LET'S GO!!! THAT SHIT LOOKS CRAZY!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!

Trailer is up on Bay's site.

Cgi looks great here much better then AOE.

And lo! as promised, the first version of the new spot for Transformers: The Last Knight - from Paramount Pictures and Michael Bay - is now online! A longer, extended version will be available after the Super Bowl this weekend, bringing the 30 seconds below to 55, and hopefully showing more new footage. Check out the clip embedded below in the meantime, featuring Grimlock, Anthony Hopkins, Optimus Prime, Laura Haddock, Mark Wahlberg, Bumblebee, Isabela Moner, and let us know your thoughts in the Energon Pub!

Well....that was a surprise i was expecting it to drop tomorrow, nice to see Grimlock in the spot though

Wonder in the dinobots with actually get to be something other than mindless wreaking machines. I certainly hope so. They were a disappointment in AoE.

You will be super dissapointed then, because it has been said that Grimlock is the only dinobot returning from AOE.

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.

They could not possibly make this movie look less interesting.

Unf! I do love watching those movie bots fight...even if it's Prime vs Bumblebee.

Looks like Bee's getting some payback for last trailer

This shot is impressive, whatever it is?(Cybertron or something else?)

Well that was odd. For the entire length of the movie franchise, although I run the gamut of emotions and thoughts about trailers ranging from pretty cool to meh...I've never seen anything that incited an angry response until this morning, of course it could all be for nothing.

*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 just noticed that Cade is on Optimus in that last shot of the trailer. Wonder what he's doing there?

Deadput wrote:What would you do to make the movies "better" more robot screen time, no humans in a human made 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.

Erm...does the toy Bee we've seen come with a hammer?


+ who's that rushing Bee near the end where he's about to attack Optimus?
