Is nice but why can't one of these Last Knight Trailer announcements be for like... an actual truck trailer for Voyager Optimus Prime? Even re-release/retool and old one. And kit it out all fancy inside like G1 Prime's trailer. Sqweeks has one!

Cannes is a city synonymous with the celebration of cinema so you better belive that they have some awesome new banners for Transformers the Last Knight. These two banners, found on a Russian social media site, feature Optimus and Bumblebee about to have a showdown.

Enjoy!

They look awesome. I guess this after Prime ripped off Bee's wings?

But he's the one that approves them, so one could still blame him.

Blame him for what? Having an eye for a different aesthetic style than you do? Let's burn the witch!

For what though you should explain how approving a design makes him at fault.

I really hope we continue to get more designs like this film and ROTF that are creative for our franchise like wheelbots and smooth armored Knights.

And Dino because his designs is the best one in my opinion in the whole franchise.

How do you know this? Is this fact?

, so one could still blame him.

Blame him for what? Having the Transformers look the way they do? Having them look like how an alien robot would most likely look in reality? Not being all blocky and angular like in the cartoons?

New traaaaailer is up on the social medias. And Bee does something rather unusual and neat.

took me ages to figure out how to embed a video...

Wow people, really? Stop the witch hunt, not everyone is a sterotypical "geewunner".

Firstly, I don't actually have a problem with the movie designs, in fact, my first exposure to the franchise was with the movies. Secondly, I'm only saying that one could blame Bay if they don't like the aesthetic. He's the man in charge, you know. He's the one who approved the designs he himself requested from concept artists.

Also, yeah I DO have proof that he was the one who approved the designs:

"Listen, I just didn't want to make the boxy characters. It's boring and it would look fake. By adding more doo-dads and stuff on the robots, more car parts, you can just make it more real. I was listening to the fans and I know they hated the Optimus paint job with the stripes. Why did I do it? Because I liked the ribs. That caused a lot of grief."

Demonstrate how he's the only Autobot to have never been killed despite being in all four previous films?

I can't seen to word that properly but you get what I mean.

My first reaction to bee was "oh that's why Joshu(Stanley tucci) is back. They're issuing tech from his company. That's who bee can reassemble"

Certainly more feesable right now till it's explained

News Credits: 26 · by **reluctantyouth** » Wed May 17, 2017 8:25 am

Wha...wha...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Did I just see that? Bee blown to bits and then reassembles himself as if each element works independently? We have never seen this before...and the Bay-Team :michaelbay:

decides to highlight it now? There better "Bee" a damn good explanation for such technology. [-(

The International trailers are always better...minus the now known comic relief human character that is totally unnecessary...thought that is why we had so many kids in this film (meaning kids were the comic relief).

Oh, BULLSQUIRT!

We got four films with Transformers all dying after getting blown to bits or torn apart or otherwise completely mangled into a pile of parts, and yet when it happens to Bumblebee (FIVE MOVIES IN, no less), he can just reassemble himself like it was nothing?

I mean, Bee loses just his legs in the first film and acts like he's in severe pain, moving very slowly as though he's on the verge of death. But now he can have every body part fall apart and be A-OK after a simple self-reassembly by the power of magic all of a sudden.

If we don't get some in-universe explanation (and which better be a darn good one), then that is complete and utter BULL-SQUIRT!

And in the last one we saw new technology that shows transformers blow apart and reassemble. Jesus calm down and think

Gee, sure would have been nice for them to have had this "new technology" beforehand, wouldn't it?

Yeah like in the 86 movie. If only met the Autobots met the junkions before Optimus died.

Seriously, like I said KSI created new transformer tech in the last one and by the end of the movie Joshua became allies with Cade and the Autobots. We've seen in the other trailers them working Bee in the junkyard. It's not that hard to figure it out that Bumblebee has been upgraded.

Certainly better and throwing a fit over 5 seconds in a 2 minute trailer to a over 2 hour long movie.

ok...at first I had the same reaction, but I was reminded of a video recently explaining how Ultra Magnus got put back together by the Junkions in TF:TM, despite the fact that so many other Autobots & Decepticons had just died.

I guess the safe answer is...TF's can get blown apart, as long as their spark is in tact they will live on. But the pulling yourself back together thing... that would have been way better if they did not reveal that in the trailer, kids would have went ballistic on seeing that (even if I think its kind of :roll:
