Recently the runtime for the Transformer the Last Knight movie has been released. For a 3 hour and 2 minutes runtime is quite long compared to
Dark of the Moon, 2 hours and 37 minutes,
Age of Extinction, 2 hours and 45 minutes,
Revenge of the Fallen, 2 hours and 30 minutes,
or even the very first one, 2 hours and 24 minutes.
For me, it is understandable since there is a lot to be covered in the movie. However, I have seen that many people aren't excited to see 3 hours of "Bayhem." Whatever the case is, I think Michael Bay is going to overwhelm us with three hours of action, dialogue, and pointless explosions. But it will be satisfying to see all the characters back again.
What are your thoughts?

HA! I saw Pirates today in this exact theater. I thought that wall looked familiar. Nice.

That 3 hours and 2 minutes run time is false since these movies are constantly edited until close to release in fact AOE wasn't finished until a few hours before the premier and I heard ROTF also was cutting it close.

Also nobody's released the time so don't believe any run times until a week before the movie comes out.

The Siri/Alexa voice coming from Bumblebee... Oh my God this will be fun....

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Alright, I have to ask you guys for your opinions on this. I in no way believe this, but I've now seen 2 analysis' of this and it's worth bringing up.

What if Bee and Prime combine? Will they do it?

Apparently, that TRU image of Prime has enough yellow to convince people that it is possible. Thoughts on this?

Can you tell us where you found this info on the run time?

[Deadput]

Prime's Knight design already has gold parts on him if they were combining where are the camaro parts and why does Prime look exactly the same but some parts coloured different?

It's just lighting and the same fan mentality that makes people think Unicron is in the next movie.

The original source is random google search saying so and people spreading it around like it's fact.

I lost my **** when I read that. God, I pray it's true!

You may have noticed a rumour going around the internet, due to a Google result, of the runtime for Transformers: The Last Knight being over three hours. This is, in fact, very much still a rumour - and one possibly debunked by Michael Bay himself on Twitter - and no runtime has been confirmed yet officially.

Reports of #transformers The Last Knight being over 3hrs is wrong. It's shorter than the last 3 movies by a lot.

Speculation from a number of sites not trying to catch the headlines, such as Cineworld and Screenrant, seems to suggest something closer to 2.30 hours, but we will be sure to update you as soon as we know!

[SlyTF1]

Damnit. I just saw the Tweet. There goes my dream of a 4 hour Transformers movie. It makes sense from a marketing perspective though. Shorter run time means more screenings per day, and that means more money. I worked at a movie theater when AOE came out and it was so long, we only had time to show it 3 times a day.

Thanks to EvasionModeBumblebee, we have a new and interesting addition to the Transformer: The Last Knight marketing. It appears that come theaters, such as this one in California, are featuring cardboard cutout 3D and LED lit models of Optimus Prime! The cutout has Prime kneeling with his sword, while his eyes glow brightly. Check out the image below, and keep an eye out at your own theaters to see if this Prime makes his way there!

My local theater has one as well, they put it up last week. I didn't think to mention it, because I figured if my little hole-in-the-wall theater has one, they must be everywhere. Who knew.

Were more likely to see a directors cut for previous Transformers movies then a 4 hour one.

But this probably means they trimmed down some of the more garbage human scenes and they just have the important human scenes and the Transformers ones.

We only newsed this a couple days ago, you can see it here, but we now also have the official press release direct from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, giving us a description of their promotion for Transformers: The Last Knight, Paramount's involvement, and more details. Check it out below, along with the video again!

Rent, Buy or Share with Enterprise and the New Movie, Transformers: The Last Knight, from Director Michael Bay

Brand Creates Nostalgic Digital Video Tribute to 10-year Anniversary of Film Franchise Roots, in Celebration of June 21 Theatrical Release

ST. LOUIS June 1, 2017 -- Get ready to roll out: The Autobots and the 'auto rental bots' are joining forces to move us all forward!

Enterprise Rent-A-Car today announced a partnership with Paramount Pictures on the highly anticipated release of the new movie, Transformers: The Last Knight, directed by Michael Bay, in theaters June 21. Through the partnership, Enterprise is producing custom movie-themed digital content and promotion in branches throughout the country.

'While many may know Enterprise as simply a car rental company, we've done some evolving over the years to offer customers much more. Whether you're looking to rent, buy or share a vehicle, Enterprise has you covered,' said Lee Broughton, vice president, Enterprise Brand Marketing. That brand promise, coupled with our new content strategy focused on helping our customers pursue their passions led us to teaming up with Transformers: The Last Knight.

As part of the campaign, Enterprise has created a nostalgic video throwback to Hasbro's Transformers toy television commercials from the 1980s. The video shows two kids using their Autobot action figures to fend off the evil Decepticons, with some added assistance from Enterprise's rent, buy and share offerings. In one scene, as an Enterprise rental car helps take down the Decepticons, one of the children can be heard asking, 'How ya like that customer service, Megatron?'

In addition to the video, Enterprise customers will also notice movie-themed signage inside Enterprise branches through June.

'Enterprise has found a clever and creative way to remind Transformers fans of the toy heritage of the movie franchise while introducing their expanded brand offerings,' said LeeAnne Stables, president worldwide marketing partnerships and licensing for Paramount Pictures. 'This is a great way for us to reach summer travelers and ramp up excitement for the new film.'

I see no apology for mistransforming that lovely new Deluxe Bee

Instagram account tf.daily has posted an image of a new poster featuring Optimus Prime for Transformers: The Last Knight - and the word Destroy. While the idea of a ..bad Optimus is not a new one for the series or the specific movie, this does sound more ominous than usual. Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

If you're in the US and are planning to go see Transformers: The Last Knight on June 20th, Fandango and the official IMAX site have now listed sales for shows across the country - though only in IMAX 3D, and only for 7pm shows (local time each).

Will you be attending? Will you be waiting for a later release? Let us know in the discussion in the Energon Pub, and remember to enter the IMAX sweepstakes here for a trip to the Chicago Premiere!

[Sabrblade]

The anti-movie campaign has grown stronger. Now we are ordered to destroy Transformers: The Last Knight when it hits theaters.

[SlyTF1]

I've narrowed down the locations to the specific theater where the premier in Chicago is going to be held. I'm about to order my tickets now. It's a gamble, but I'm sure I'm right.

Could you tell me which one it is so I know just in case I win the sweepstakes? (Been entering in everyday)

I could only find 2 IMAX theaters in the city, so I'm guessing it's one of those.

Fellow Seibertronian Bounti76 has sent us notification that another trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight has appeared, and first shown during the NBA finals - it was of course then found on YouTube, and ComicBook.com has once more the 'best' quality version going round, which we've embedded below. Are you ready for some more Quintessa and Optimus' new motivation..?

[Rodimus Prime]

I figured it was a callback to the "Protect" and "Destroy" covers of the original movie's DVD release. But if Optimus is "Destroy" this time around, who is "Protect?" Could my suspicions be proven correct and Megatron is actually a sort-of good guy in TLK? Probably not...

[Kurona]

Probably Bumblebee.
