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.

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

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

[Rainmaker]

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.

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?

[SlyTF1]

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

[Deadput]

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!

[Stuartmaximus]

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

[Big Grim]

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.

[Dagon]

They could not possibly make this movie look less interesting.

[Carnivius_Prime]

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

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Looks like Bee's getting some payback for last trailer

[Stuartmaximus]

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