I posted these on the movie page but it kinda got lost in the posts of the Imax stuff just a few questions that were not answered from the imax stuff I saw last knight (lol)

1: Was Cogman's Aston Martin body shown at all or was he in his small Headmaster robot form the whole time?

2: Are the other Dinobots besides Grimlock and Slug in the footage you were shown and were they ever in their robot forms at all?

5: Were you ever shown who this red car bot was? All I know from what I heard is that it's a Transformer and not a Decepticon.

But if you might know this is the guy I'm talking about he was seen with Bee, Hot Rod and Cogman in Landon where I think one of if not the final battle takes place at least with Earth Locations.

I really really really want to know what the deal is with Starscream's head, this supposed Witwicky lineage involving the sir Anthony Hopkins character, and the fact that it appears that Hopkins' character is setting up the Bee movie maybe

Hopkins says he is from clan "Witwicken" so not exactly Witwicky but probably related.

Starscream's head is probably from the junkyard where all the dead robots are dumped at in the movie since Megatron is standing in a "desert" looking place.

Question! Potentially spoilery? That old world war 1 Tank transformer 'Bulldog", is his robot form a literal bulldog?

Is Hound's robot form a literal hound? /s

Nope he is humanoid and is a big bot bot like Hound who's helmet looks like a military hat and he has a monocle which we don't really see on him since it among other parts of him are falling off of him like ROTF Jetfire and before you ask he does not talk.

Bulldog was the name on the side of the tank but that doesn't mean that's his actual name so for now it's either his name or it's not.

He has a monocle? That makes me laugh more then it should. Cheers for that

He did talk. He was mumbling to himself about how his parts were falling off.

We were all aware of that Super Fan Event that Paramount and IMAX had set up for Transformers: The Last Knight, as part of their marketing campaign, and some of its footage shown, in addition to the initial one seen by our own Seibertron - but of course, they happened all around the world, not just the US!

Below, you can find some coverage of the event as it took place across social media, featuring the official The Last Knight Instagram account from New York, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, and also Sydney Australia from their official Facebook Page, Thailand, Toronto Canada, Netherlands (with the giant Bumblebee), UK, Brazil, Italy via and featuring Autorobot.it fans, plus many more - check some of them out below!

videos!

Oh and the tank bot from the imax preview

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Bronzewolf is writing up the post now, but for the record:

Bots that appeared include: Starscream, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Hound, tank bot, a WWI fighter plane based bot, Drift. At least.

[Bronzewolf]

A new teaser has emerged for Transformers: The Last Knight that further confirms that this movie will be about delving into the history of Transformers here on earth. The spot, (which has been mirrored below) is narrated by Anthony Hopkins and features a slideshow-style collection of images featuring various familiar and unfamiliar faces through history. And while the spot does feature bots like Ironhide, Starscream, and Bruticus, that doesn't inherently mean they will be returning to the franchise. Check it out below and tell us what old bots you can find!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Where do you see a Bruticus? If you mean this guy



I think that is supposed to be a WWI or early WWII fighter plane or bomber, based on the machine guns and airplane engine chest

[Deadput]

But there is no Bruticus (At least not that guy) that guy is just a plane in fact he uses Topspin's body as the base model

Edit: here is a comparison I found.

Holy sh*t, I am SO stoked to see this movie!! These pictures can totally be part of spin-offs, including that WWII version of Bumblebee in The Bumblebee Movie.

I saw that too! That definitely looked cool, a WWII Bumblebee! Hopefully makes a good toy

[partholon]

thats.........


......actually interesting.

i STILL dont believe bays capable of delivering an actual film with a decent plot/storyline but it at the very least show's effort.

itll probably still suck but if more stuff like this comes out and its actually addressed decently in the film we could finally have afilm where the writers won out.

I'm pretty sure that's what this is a "preview" or hint at what the Bumblebee prequel is going to be about.

I can totally see Starscream manipulating the "lesser insects" to start wars to either make the Autobots show up or to make humans spend their war resources so that their less prepared for the Decepticons.

This is totally the movie to see characters who died in previous movies like say Blackout or Brawl would be good in that kind of movie.

Well, of course not. That's the writer's job.

Clearly this means that the Bumblebee intro they gave in Transformers: The Game (2007) is not canon. I mean it was obvious before, but this confirms it.

None of the video games have ever been canon not even the DOTM game.

Same goes for comics the film makers have never seen them as canon and if it was not evident before it is now.

Instead of going to movie as non paid movie critic go to movie as someone new movie fan you may surprise your self., since when did transformers comics and cartoons had good story and plot evil robots
In disguise try take over universe good bots stop them 99 percent of time they have help with humans can't get no bad than that.,

If you want good plot and story read Shakespeare's , edger Allen Poe or you could compare transformers movies to old black and white cowboy movies and three stooges to add to list

I'm a fan of the movies but your reasoning is flawed what was in the past is no damn excuse for future fiction.

Last Stand of the wreckers is a great story for example and while the G1 cartoon or the god awful Transformers Prime cartoon is rather bad there has been good fiction in our franchise.

That's not even a story that's a snyposis and a good story is about what people do with the setting because originality is long dead so it's up to writers to retell old stories and themes in a new way that may or may not be interesting.

Nobody is watching Transformers for Shakespeare at all people just want good movies wheteher that be a good story or just an amazing watching experience people watch Transformers for Transformers not Shakespeare in fact for me I couldn't care any less for him but I want to see a good "Transformers" movie and I personally think the new one is going to hit the mark or at least close to it.

Now, I don't want to start a brawl (no pun intended) on this topic, but I thought Transformers: Prime was one of the best continuities of the franchise. There some errors in Prime as in any other Transformer story, but it is definitely not "god awful" ...

I was never so bored in any other Transformers show compared to Prime's who's world is so dull, grey and empty like where are the humans even in that new york episode espically when it's sequel RID manages to fix this problem.

The character development was either forgotten or reset and Megatron's plans were never actual plans in the first place he was more incompetent then Movie Megatron who at least made multiple thought out plans.

Remember Cliffjumper's wasted potential or Breakdown's or even Dreadwing's?

The cast was awful on the Autobot side with the worse boring cardboard Optimus, angsty, hypocrite Arcee who contently forgets her development to chase after grudges and call out others for doing the same, Bulkhead who was just there even after they made a "big" deal on his injury that never effected anything afterwards, Bumblebee suffered for his missing voice for the majority of the show with movie Bumblebee at least being active in his body language and using the radio where Prime Bee does not, Ultra Magnus also suffered from poorly used stoic personality and being a last season character who constantly got his aft kicked.

Ratchet, Smokescreen and Wheeljack were the only remotely interesting Autobots and the latter two kinda had thier story arcs "dropped" like Smokescreen's "destiny" and Wheeljack's loner thing which he forgets about without thinking and joins in season 3 which was a rushed season overall mostly due to the original plans being dropped besides Ultra Magnus and Shockwave.

The cons besides idiot Megatron were decent but suffered from the writers having no idea what to do with them either making them dead or packed away also Starscream's contently changing his personality is he traitorous or loyal, is he a serious and deadly warrior or an incompetent comedy relief who somehow is the second in command of the Decepticons which says a lot about Megatron's intelligence.

The stakes were never raised and the Decepticons never have the advantage and the status quo is always reset.

I expect the 2 hour movies to have these flaws not the longest Transformers cartoon since G1, how does Animated a much shorter show with a lighter tone manage to be much more interesting and mature then that waste of time.

Oh and in real life the show staff decided to diss Hasbro's plans and were disrespectful with the whole Aligned continuity thing.
