Fun fact: this was one of two "soundtrack" choices for another Transformers work: More Than Meets The Eye issue 8: Scavengers Part 2 - Who's Afraid of the DJD?

I don't know about the DJD, but I think everyone is afraid of the 2-eyed 2 antennaed flying purple-eyed people smasher

He feels like a hi-and-die to me.

I know that sounds really snarky but I just got that vibe. I don't know why.

I got that same vibe too. He doesn't have a very "marketable" face, like it hasn't had the same amount of effort put in to most of the main characters.

Since he sort of has Bee's color scheme...maybe Hubcap? Though the color and design does kind of say construction vehicle.

And hi-and-die-ness is the natural vibe from any new guy whose establishing shot shows them face down like they've been injured.

Just thought of something... He kind of looks like an off-colored, shaved, naked sort of Hound.

also, did anyone else catch that we got to see Sqweeks?

I've been telling people for years, these movies would lead up to Optimus losing his damn mind. I told you. Every movie, he gets progressively more and more pissed off. And now, it all comes down to this.

Silly guys, it's the episode where Optimus dies, and while floating in space, qu it's son fixed him and made him evil. He's going to sacrifice himeself at the end and float into the sun:). We'll, it the sun part

Holy crap, this looks amazing. Consider me on board.

Also, am I the only one getting Gigatron vibes from that two-headed dragon Transformer? I'm hoping so, if only to get the original RID Megatron toy reissued but retooled with movieverse techno-greebles.

Maybe it's Sinnertwin and Cuttthroats baby?

I think the Dragon is mostly in the past in the bits of the movie set in the past in England. but it might still be alive later - I couldn't say.

Notice none of the other Autobots feature other than the rear of a car. just Prime and Bee. (not counting the orange headed robot of no consequence sitting under a Decepticon ship's engine).

Bay really painted himself into a corner by killing nearly everyone of consequence off in previous movies.

Shame the Dinobots barely feature and if they are in it at all it might just be The spinosaurus' minion raptors that were supposed to follow him around like baby ducks that were cut from the last Movie and that were use to make the Hasbro Slash toy. - Hopefully if they do feature they can reissue that toy in one of the missing colours it was not made in to help complete some sets.

If they were crafty they could show a few other different Dinobots in a throw away scene (perhaps in the past) including Snarl & Slog.

I agree that the large threat might be Cybertron - all be it a possessed one. I suppose Bay could be following some of the threads of Transformers Prime and either have Primus or Unicron trapped in the earth and or Cybertron - I don't expect he'll every explain what the allspark is or how it relates to things as the just randomly throw names and concepts around without really understanding them.

I look forward to watching some clips on youtube anyway after the movie comes out so I don't have to suffer the terrible human parts.

Don't mind us, we're riding the train of the hype that the Transformers: The Last Knight teaser trailer set off. Seibertronians Seibertron and ScottyP bring us a small round-up of tidbits concerning the song used in the trailer: a cover of "Do You Realise?" by The Flaming Lips.




The cover used in the trailer is by Ursine Vulpine, and slows it down considerably, while adding elements of previous tracks used for the Michael Bay projects - as worked on by Steve Aoki and Steve Jablonsky, with bands Imagine Dragons and Linkin Park. We know that the latter composer is part of the movie once more, and none of the others are (for now), so he may have had his hands somewhere around the cover.



What is particularly interesting is the Transformers-related connection of the original song: IDW writer of More Than Meets the Eye James Roberts chooses a couple of songs for each new issue in the series, as a "reading soundtrack"; the original 'Do You Realise?' was chosen for More Than Meets The Eye issue 8: 'Scavengers Part 2 - Who's Afraid of the DJD?'.

This isn't news, of course, but an interesting way to revisit the old and the new, and throw another rumour log on the fire of the speculation engines. What do you make of it? Intrigued by the song, the connection, the cover, the lyrics? Join us in the Energon Pub for the discussion!
