Episode #161 "The Last Knight Forged" is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes, and Stitcher Radio within 24 to 48 hours of when you see this news post.
While you listen, you can follow along in our extensive image gallery of screen captures from the trailer, including super high definition resolution. We start the show off at the start, taking a look at some of the early scenes from the trailer. Do these foretell a different tone for this particular movie? Plus: the importance of music. And Anthony Hopkins, too.
Things progress quite slowly in our discussion, but hey, you're here for trailer dissection, not trailer tweets or trailer drive-bys, right? Right. We move on to some of the wartime imagery, and speculate on the inclusion of imagery that is downright offensive to some. What deeper meaning might we be able to find here, amidst (possibly unpopular) jokes from the host?
We know whose house it really is - COBRAAAAA!
We look at several other settings, including the husk of the Pontiac Silverdome. The Transformers movies have always had their Bayhem spread to real life locations, and this one looks to deliver on that again in spades. Also: what on Earth does Armada have to do with all of this?
It was then that Rad, Fred, and Billy knew the Lions' playoff hopes were dashed.
Of course, it wouldn't be a speculative podcast featuring yours truly without my tired old standby of a conspiracy theory some mention of the possibility of The Chaos Bringer. We even take the conversation around to a little bit of IDW by way of this excellent post from Skidblast's Tumblr page.
But is that how those really work?
The robots get their due course in the discussion, with us wondering who some of the Transformers characters seen in the trailer might be. The humans come around as well, with the dreamy locks of Cade Yeager and Mouseketeer Isabella ready to meet up with returning characters like Lennox and Epps.
Gardening at this time of year just isn't a good idea, ok?
The big tease from the end of the trailer is a hot topic of discussion as well. Might Optimus Prime really be embracing his little seen evil side, or is this just a ploy to get us talking? If it's the latter, then it looks like it definitely worked!
No face given, therefore face taken?
We switch gears from The Last Knight, as Seibertron interviews one of the creators of the upcoming mobile game from Kabam, Transformers: Forged to Fight. Listen in for details about the game, its release, and much more.
I hope there's a car to destroy after this.
Don't forget the additional screens from the game available here for you to whet your appetite for Transformers brawling action even more. Sound off in the Energon Pub Forums if you're excited for this next foray into mobile Transformers fun!
Just what type of game is this? Tune in to find out!
Hope you enjoyed listening! Check back very soon as we wrap up our recording year and look ahead to 2017!
