You know the monster planet in the picture Hopkins is holding? Anyone else think the shape resembles a traditional Quintesson?

Just looks to me like the same honeycombed broken planet that we've seen in all the trailers, which is quite possibly Cybertron itself given the full contents of this trailer and the notion of the upcoming Cybertron playset being made in the TLK toyline.

You know, I dont get the whole honeycomb thing. I was watching the 2007 Transformers film (which is not bad at all) and when we first see Prime he shows us what Cybertron looked like, which is quite different.

Also, I realize now that there better be some serious explaining in this film if Megatron turns out to have been on earth for any other reason than to find the Allspark.

DOTM gave it the honeycomb look for some reason.

Well, I know Deadput will come and crucify me for saying this but the DOTM comics John Barber wrote a few years ago offered a very workable explanation for how Megatron's pursuit of the AllSpark, his servitude of The Fallen, and his deal made with Sentinel Prime all ended up coming to a head on Earth:

• First, The Fallen left Cybertron aboard the Nemesis (captained by Soundwave) to go looking for the Star Harvester, which he had previously built on another planet (Earth) eons ago.
• Then the Autobot/Decepticon war commenced, during which time Megatron and Sentinel made their deal, which they decided to carry out on the planet that The Fallen had built his Harvester on.
• Then Sentinel left Cybertron aboard the Ark, but which was presumed lost. It would crash on Earth's moon in the future (the 1960s).
• Then Optimus launched the AllSpark into space and Megatron chased after it. The AllSpark ends up on Earth NOT by coincidence: Turns out the AllSpark was drawn to that planet by the Harvester.
• Megatron arrives on Earth and gets frozen in the Arctic, unaware at the time that this planet is the very same planet that the Harvester is on, the very same planet that both The Fallen went looking for and Sentinel made his deal with Megatron over.

So, in this regard, it all ties in with the Harvester being the key that brought the AllSpark, Megatron (unknowingly at first), The Fallen, and Sentinel to Earth. Thus, the only coincidence left intact by this explanation is the particular planet that the Harvester was put on happening to be Earth.

Of course, the new films could ignore all this continuity-mending that the comics did and come up with their own explanation, or even just skirt around all explanations entirely. We'll just have to wait and see.

I think it could of just been a city and the angles or that parts of Cybertron that we did not see in DOTM since we did not actually see the whole planet nor do I think the whole thing is destroyed maybe.

Or just different people made up a new look for Cybertron and forgot about the brief movie 1 flashback

Thanks Sabr my good pal

I don't mean to be all "your wrong!" it's just I don't think people should use the comics as an excuse since they are stated to be non canon by the highest source of canon it's just like with some Star Wars comics which even back in the EU Lucas did not consider most of the EU to be "true" canon

I personally see the films and the words of the film staff as true canon and then the Idw comics as "b" canon with Titan comics as "c" canon I do enjoy the comics a lot and Reign of Starscream is my second fave Transformers media ever and I wished it even if it alone was canon but unfortunately it probably is not especially with the sort of change Starscream goes through with his bad arse-ness to his well less bad arse role in ROTF and DORM.

Look I'm sorry alright? I'm just an aggressive and blunt person I'm not good with online chats I'm much better in person when I can use different tones such as sarcasm instead of letting people assume what I mean.

Whether they use that idea or not, I like how everything stems from the harvester. I would at least like them to at least make sense of Megatron and his business on planet earth if they are gonna add more to it.

Poor Bumblebee. I think every trailer has him getting progressively more beat up. First choke slammed and having his chest ripped off. Then getting face slammed into the ground, but actually getting to hit Prime with his hammer. And how getting his wings ripped off. Poor guy just keeps getting it worse and worse.

And that's not even the whole fight!

While I doubt he will die there is no doubt that Bee is going to get hurt really bad.

You can have tension without the sense of death in movies you know.

As expected, and as seen with previous films, the Transformers: The Last Knight marketing department is rolling out cross-brand promotions to advertise the upcoming Michael Bay / Paramount live-action movie! This particular sighting comes from China, via Baidu, and features the multinational Coca Cola company with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee designs - check out some images below.

Who is the red character on the thumbnail? It looks like Knock Out or Rodimus but I highly doubt it is either.

It's either Grimlock or Megatron. It has the horns of Megatrons helmet, but it looks like it has the teeth of Grimlock's shoulders

It's Megatron I saw a bigger pic of the cans.

At first I thought it was Dino because of the red mclaren from filming that's confirmed to be a robot but then I thought it was Drift because he is also red despite turning into a mostly black car.

[Sabrblade]

Look guys! It's Murderbee! Murderbee's back!

[william-james88]

As the Transformers: the Last Knight movie gets closer, we are getting more screen caps and promotions. One character that we have not seen much of yet (especially not in the trailers) is Hot Rod. However, an image just surfaced on Instagram with our best look at him yet (in a still image). He is next to Laura Haddock's character and it seems to be an images used for a summer movie guide in a magazine.

Enjoy!

Duuuuuude. That robot mode looks sick. I'm glad there's more orange than I think we've seen so far.

[galvatron00]

So..humans are Nebulons?!

[mattyc1007]

Not bad, I like, but he still looks like a robot who scanned a car then scanned a gaming laptop for the random colour scheme of neon orange and black.

Also, that bio just went over my head, the only interesting fact is Hopkins name being mentioned :/

I relate to this picture as I, too, am a woman who would run at TLK Hot Rod ready to bludgeon them with an axe.

I think Hot Rod looks pretty damn cool there. Now where's the frickin' toy???

Well a hug from BRAWN is hazardous, sure!!

Hot Rod knows how to hug kids. Here's Hot Rod from the year 2005, clearly hugging a child.

Yup he's just trying to calm her down after kidnapping her for Hopkins.

Huh... Hopkins kinda is a creepy character judging from the 30 minute imax preview.

You do know that she is holding a cricket bat, not an axe ...

Sadly, the only toy he has coming out so far is a non transforming die cast vehicle that I am not even allowed to show you due to licensing not being acquired yet

Her bat is made of crickets?
