Who were the first knights in movieverse? Did the human knights make that style of armour which the Transformers then modelled themselves after or were the Transformers like that already and the humans built their armour to ape the style of their Transformer allies? I'm still curious as to why Megatron looks like a knight now. Steelbane, Dragonstorm and the Dinobots I understand as them having had their forms since those times but Megatron's had several different looks so curious why he's gone to a more 'retro' style. I wanna see the film nowwww please.

Also same question applies to TFs like Drift and RotF Bludgeon who resemble samurais. Did they have it first or the humans?

50 Shades of Quintessa? Hehe ...

News Credits: 1 · Fri Jun 02, 2017 8:51 am

Still no word of a Quintessa toy? If so, at least Ohpromatem can fill the void in our collections:

Granted, you can only find the opaque white version on Ebay now, but one would need to find some more Glyos tentacles to tack on anyway, and you'd want to customize that rather than any of the other, far scarcer versions.

Eh, since none of her faces look right, I guess she's more of a generic female Quint than a queen...I'm just saying that until we get an official Quintessa, she's the best we've got.

I can never tell if Mark Walberg is the most brilliant actor or the worst - is he that folksy and bad on purpose as a persona or is that all he does ever - act like he's been hit on the head with a heavy object ?

Access Hollywood has posted a pair of new video interviews with Mark Wahlberg and Sir Anthony Hopkins. In the first 2 minute interview, Wahlberg talks about how his kids like the movies, but don't like how much time the filming takes up since they can't see Dad. He also talks about the fun of doing the movie with Bay and Sir Anthony Hopkins, and gives some vague hints that he thinks some of the new bots will really win us over. In the second interview, Hopkins talks about wanting to work with Bay and also talks a bit about his part as an English Lorde obsessed with Transformers. Check out the interviews by following the links above!

I don't like how Hot Rod's says "rise." I don't like those implications at all.

Me neither :shock:

My main problem with a Rodimus Prime in the films is that logically, if Prime were to pass on the matrix, it would go to Bumblebee, not Hot Rod. The only way Hot Rod would get the matrix is if Bee was out of the way, which is definitely something I don't want. Fortunately, the films are their own thing and don't rely too heavily on the source material, I'd be interested to see a version of Hot Rod that doesn't become Rodimus.

At least it's just "Rise" and not the way-more-on-the-nose "Arise".

But if there's deep enough meaning to it, then I'd be more concerned about the "Sacrifice" written on the other poster. Sure, it pertains to the "old Witwicky motto", but really do wanna see Sir Edmund Burton survive this movie in one piece, rather than be killed off.

We have some more posters for Transformers: The Last Knight, courtesy of Cinemark over on Twitter, and via fellow Seibertronian SlyTF1 - this time, they feature Sir (ugh) Edmund Burton, aka Anthony Hopkins' character, and Hot Rod. Respectively, the posters show the word SACRIFICE and RISE. Draw your own speculations from that last one in particular, and check them out below!

A new TV spot for Transformers: The Last Knight has been posted on Youtube. It features Josh Duhamel and Essam Ferris having an intense game of ping-pong. Well at least until they get a surprise visitor that is!

Can't wait for the movie to come out? Why not take the edge off with a trailer that has baby dinobots!

As you can see, there has started to be an anti-Transformers marketing campaign and Paramount tells us the new military enemy, the Transformers Reaction Force, are behind it. A way to beat them is to seek out the real villains, the Decepticons. Scattered across the internet are 6 Decepticon casefiles with new exclusive images of these Decepticons and we are asking you to find them all and report them back to us. You can find Seibertron's exclusive Decepticon casefile below. It pertains to Nitro Zeus (that's right, Nitro's full name is Nitro Zeus). This, and the 5 other pictures out there will offer us a great look at the Decepticons, which so far have been mostly absent from the Last Knight's marketting campaign, aside from Megatron that is.

Click the image below to zoom in and see all the details in the best image yet of Nitro Zeus. You can also read his casefile which talks of his link to Shockwave. Enjoy!

Here are all the Decepticons from Transformers The Last Knight rounded up across the internet and where they have been found. Hopefully this means the Anti-Transformers Campaign can come to an end, we shall see. For now, enjoy all these casefiles. This is the best look yet at some of these, especially Mowhawk. it is also interesting that there is both Dreadbot and Berserker but no Hooligan, probably hinting that Hooligan may no longer be the name of any of the Decepticons with dreads in the film. With these six more added to our Nitro Zeus, that makes 7 Decepticons all rounded up.

Enjoy!

Nitro Zeus at Seibertron

Dreadbot at TFW2005

Onslaught at Allspark

Megatron at Unicron

Mowhawk at Ben's World of Transformers

Berserker at Tformers

Barricade at TFwiki

The Transformers: The Last Knight social media accounts have been taken over, and not in a nice way, by the TRF - Transformers Resistance Force. All accounts are now Transformers No-Go Zones.
