Hot on the heels of yesterday's reveal that Transformers 5 shall be called The Last Knight we have a little tidbit of information that may or may not be related. Spotted in Detroit by the Live Action Movie Blog is none other than our Movie Prime's Trailer from Dark of the Moon! Now, considering Prime did take off into space and he didn't use the trailer in Age of Extinction, this could be something completely different and unrelated, but worthy of note, especially considering The Last Knight is set to begin filming very shortly. The trailer is also missing its Autobot symbol on the front, but given the range of visual differences between movies, everything is subject to change. Check out the mirrored image below and let us know what you think, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries.

We've had a slew of Transformers Movie news lately with the offical announcement of the title to a spotting of Optimus's trailer. We now have confirmation from the Transformers Movie Facebook page that Josh Duhamel will be reprising his role as Lieutenant Colonel Lennox in Transformers: The Last Knight.

So some guy was theorizing that the Last Knight might actually be Rom the Space Knight, and that this movie might tie into the theoretical Hasbro Cinematic Universe. Which apparently might explain the purple eyes, since Rom fought purple shape-shifting monsters or something. Clearly, I don't know much about Rom, but I'm sure there are others here who can offer some insight about the validity of this guys' theories.

Somebody mentioned the possibility of killing off the Dinobots. I think it's equally likely that they simply won't show up again, since they kind of just wandered off to do their own thing at the end of AoE.

I wouldn't mind them showing what became of Sam and Carly as well. Maybe they will cover that in the Bumblebee movie. But it is good LTC Lennox is in it (When did he get that promotion? Last I thought he was a Captain or a Major). Anyway, I am looking forward to this.

That guy would be me :-P I highly expect it not to be but it would be fun to see them thinking this way and tying movie ROM to the transformers which makes sense in a way. It could be the introduction of Hot Rod and the start of his storyline. Another thing that I thought if which is also highly unlikely but fun is if Cade turned into ROM

Deer lord.

I like Prime's face, and I like the new title.
Hope the Dinobots will be in it, or smaller versions of them. They were huge in Age of Extinction.
This movie will probably be in space a lot, which is great in my opion.
I am so looking forward to this movie, hope they make the villain good again.
Sentinel Prime and Lockdown were great in the past movies.
(yes, not Winter Soldier great, or The Dark Knight Joker great. But good enough for the movie imho)

Yes, Bay is doing this movie and yes 50% of the fans will hate it like they don't have a hobby, and they will sound like 120% of the fans on the internet. Haters are always louder for some reason.
But I for one liked the first, second had the best robot fight scene to date. I loved the Sentinel Prime story in part 3 and Lockdown and how Prime was scared in part 4 was awesome.
I can see past the bad humor and a bit to much human screentime for the movies now.

Anyway, people are going to follow this development and I can't wait!!!!

Good to read about Josh Duhamel. I liked his character. The wingsuit stuff in DoTM was stupid and unnecessary, but otherwise his character was always a level-headed calming effect on the Bayhem. As for the Prime trailer, if it does come back, I hope we get a trailer with a leader class figure from Hasbro this time. That Western Star is a damn good-looking tractor, it deserves to be completed.

"Soft reboot" =/= "complete disregard for what came before". If AOE had been a complete reboot, then there'd be some eyebrow-raising over Lennox's return. But AOE acknowledged event of DOTM and even had Brains return, so there's room for older characters to come back for TLK.

you shouldnt belive in fan and people theroys 99.9 percent of time when make theroys about movies before its released in theaters to see truth if they are right in what they say they are mostly wrong its people like that have to much time on there hands with nothing better to do fans thought kylo ren was darth marglous before his name was released, other fans thought barron zemo was in canister being healed while ironman, bucky and captain america where fighting loko where that ended up in both directions.

I get that TF4 is set after TF3. But they made damn sure that none of the same humans appear. The main character of the franchise up to that point wasn't even mentioned. That's going out of your way to start a new trilogy of movies that are separate from the original trilogy.

So why bring old characters back now? I just don't get it.

Ah but it's just harmless speculating as I said in my post I know how unlikely these ideas are but it's a bit of fun in the dullness of my life.

The Jetfire parts were destroyed in the fight with The Fallen. If anything, the schematics were used to make the flight pack Prime has in DoTM, but the material is all-new, which is why he has different equipment, such as Gatling guns and actual wings. So maybe the design was used, but not the actual physical parts.

I know there were two Optimus figures with trailers from the DotM line. But the one that always comes to mind is the Butterfly-winged Ultimate Optimus Prime.

That toy was the best. Seriously what more could you want in a trailer? I'm still mad that didn't show up in the film.

OK, I love the character, but if this means the movie is going back to being military heavy (as much as I love the military) then we'll lose everything that was good about AoE because it will be bogged down with everything that wasn't good about the first three films that took away from the actual Transformers that finally got screen time and character development in AoE because there was no extensive focus on the military elements to take away from the title characters. :BANG_HEAD:

So bring back the character, but keep the military element very, very small, please. AoE had the right ratio of human:Transformers, and the story was about Optimus Prime in particular, not some annoying kid with a motor mouth. ;)^

As much as I missed Lennox I did not miss everything else that will probably come with him. Here's hoping that stuff stays out. :PRAY:

Happy to see him return, good actor and decent character. Although I appreciate the soft reboot, Lennox and co. won't mess with that too much - AoE was open about the Autobots once having worked with the military, so saying "these dudes used to fight alongside us" won't be too messy.

I don't think it was mentioned either way - the Fallen tore off one of the wings, but that isn't definitively "destroyed" - we see simple amputations fixed up on the movie TFs all the time. After the fight, Optimus detaches the parts from his body, but it'd be weird if he just threw them in a cupboard somewhere and forgot about them.

I'd assume the Flighttech is derived from Jetfire's parts. If it wasn't, it raises the questions of a) Why didn't they make Flighttech for the past two movies b) Why only for Optimus. ("Resource limitations" is possible, but flimsy.)

I have a few of the figures from the Bayformers series (DOTM Darksteel and Shockwave, 2007 Movie Jolt and Mudflap), but I'm thoroughly not a fan of these movies. By the time I finished watching DotM, I was done. Haven't even seen AoE yet, and have no desire to do so. I just don't understand how this series went so wrong, so fast.

As to the speculation that this movie may tie into ROM, I am happy for that possibility. There are other great Hasbro properties that I would love to see adapted, especially Visionaries. There's a great deal of potential there. Imagine a Visionaries film helmed by Guillermo del Toro, or Luc Besson writing/directing M.A.S.K. I'm down for that.

Hot on the heals of the revelation that Josh Duhamel will be returning to Transformers: The Last Knight, we get a teaser via Micheal Bay's Instagram account that his partner in crime, Tyrese Gibson AKA Epps shall be joining him on the big screen again! Now this is just a rumor shown off via social networking, but it is likely that if Lennox is to return to the movie-verse, so too shall his partner in crime.

The thing about his boots though, from what happened when prime got the sword, it looks like they were a new upgrade rather than something he already had.

As for trucks in space, I'd rather have a winnebago in space ;-)

So at some point he was a knight, presumably with access to the sword, got that upgrade, said "nah, I'd rather not be able to fly," lost it, and then forgot how to get it back.

As much as I agree with the criticism of Bay's predilection for military narratives or involvement, I agree more with ZeroWolf's point here. It's also being used/explored in the current IDW comics, and so far it's working fairly well (and much better than DotM/AoE, for example).

So long as the military doesn't take over the movie like it did in the first three I'm happy to have Lennox back, especially if his team is back with him. Though I'd rather see Lennox act as an ambassador between the government and the Autobots, with little to no military intervention in the battles themselves. I can't see the Autobots willing to work with the military again after they were hunted down after Chicago. That makes Lennox one of the few people who could be sent to try and formalize relations once more. Thematically it works.
