7Eleven Philippines Transformers: The Last Knight e-Raffle and Drawstring Bag

Huh, seems a bit of a random prize. Does this maybe mean there's an upcoming Transformers game for the Switch?

The promotion and marketing team for Transformers: The Last Knight have been on fire, and the streak doesn't seem to stop now - just in from the official Australian Facebook page and the Paramount Twitter account, we have the announcement of yet another trailer, due to drop tomorrow (Wednesday 17th May)! Check out the very very brief clip with Optimus slaughtering fighting the Infernocus looking creatures, and let us know what you think of the new live-action movie in the Energon Pub discussion boards.

Yo Dawg, we herd you like trailers!

So we made a trailer for a trailer to let you look forward to looking forward to it!

Is nice but why can't one of these Last Knight Trailer announcements be for like... an actual truck trailer for Voyager Optimus Prime? Even re-release/retool and old one. And kit it out all fancy inside like G1 Prime's trailer. Sqweeks has one!

Cannes is a city synonymous with the celebration of cinema so you better belive that they have some awesome new banners for Transformers the Last Knight. These two banners, found on a Russian social media site, feature Optimus and Bumblebee about to have a showdown.

Enjoy!

They look awesome. I guess this after Prime ripped off Bee's wings?

Blame him for what? Having an eye for a different aesthetic style than you do? Let's burn the witch!

For what though you should explain how approving a design makes him at fault.

I really hope we continue to get more designs like this film and ROTF that are creative for our franchise like wheelbots and smooth armored Knights.

And Dino because his designs is the best one in my opinion in the whole franchise.

How do you know this? Is this fact?

, so one could still blame him.

Blame him for what? Having the Transformers look the way they do? Having them look like how an alien robot would most likely look in reality? Not being all blocky and angular like in the cartoons?

New traaaaailer is up on the social medias. And Bee does something rather unusual and neat.




took me ages to figure out how to embed a video...

Wow people, really? Stop the witch hunt, not everyone is a sterotypical "geewunner".

Firstly, I don't actually have a problem with the movie designs, in fact, my first exposure to the franchise was with the movies. Secondly, I'm only saying that one could blame Bay if they don't like the aesthetic. He's the man in charge, you know. He's the one who approved the designs he himself requested from concept artists.

Also, yeah I DO have proof that he was the one who approved the designs:

"Listen, I just didn't want to make the boxy characters. It's boring and it would look fake. By adding more doo-dads and stuff on the robots, more car parts, you can just make it more real. I was listening to the fans and I know they hated the Optimus paint job with the stripes. Why did I do it? Because I liked the ribs. That caused a lot of grief."
-Michael Bay

A number of Seibertronians have sent us notification of the new announced trailer show up on the Transformers: The Last Knight social media accounts, featuring Mark Wahlberg, Grimlock, Jerrod Carmicheal, and the rest of the cast - Bumblebee in particular, check him out - with less than a month to go for the cinematic release.

Let us know what you think, after the embedded video below!

What in the Hell did Bee just do?!?!

Demonstrate how he's the only Autobot to have never been killed despite being in all four previous films?

I can't seen to word that properly but you get what I mean.

My first reaction to bee was "oh that's why Joshu(Stanley tucci) is back. They're issuing tech from his company. That's who bee can reassemble"


Certainly more feesable right now till it's explained

Wha...wha...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Did I just see that? Bee blown to bits and then reassembles himself as if each element works independently? We have never seen this before...and the Bay-Team decides to highlight it now? There better "Bee" a damn good explanation for such technology. The International trailers are always better...minus the now known comic relief human character that is totally unnecessary...thought that is why we had so many kids in this film (meaning kids were the comic relief).

~reluctantyouth~

That was awesome!

Oh, BULLSQUIRT!

We got four films with Transformers all dying after getting blown to bits or torn apart or otherwise completely mangled into a pile of parts, and yet when it happens to Bumblebee (FIVE MOVIES IN, no less), he can just reassemble himself like it was nothing?

I mean, Bee loses just his legs in the first film and acts like he's in severe pain, moving very slowly as though he's on the verge of death. But now he can have every body part fall apart and be A-OK after a simple self-reassembly by the power of magic all of a sudden.

If we don't get some in-universe explanation (and which better be a darn good one), then that is complete and utter BULL-SQUIRT!

Gee, sure would have been nice for them to have had this "new technology" beforehand, wouldn't it?

Yeah like in the 86 movie. If only met the Autobots met the junkions before Optimus died.

Seriously, like I said KSI created new transformer tech in the last one and by the end of the movie Joshua became allies with Cade and the Autobots. We've seen in the other trailers them working Bee in the junkyard. It's not that hard to figure it out that Bumblebee has been upgraded.

Certainly better and throwing a fit over 5 seconds in a 2 minute trailer to a over 2 hour long movie.

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Wait wait wait wait wait...

ok...at first I had the same reaction, but I was reminded of a video recently explaining how Ultra Magnus got put back together by the Junkions in TF:TM, despite the fact that so many other Autobots & Decepticons had just died.

I guess the safe answer is...TF's can get blown apart, as long as their spark is in tact they will live on. But the pulling yourself back together thing... that would have been way better if they did not reveal that in the trailer, kids would have went ballistic on seeing that (even if I think its kind of )

Poor Jazz.

Transformers: The Last Handwave.

Bumblebee, now available in Lego.

Randomhero wrote:Seriously, like I said KSI created new transformer tech in the last one

Which is still bonkers in and of itself that a mere human company was able to develop a level of scientific engineering that the very race of super robot aliens they based their tech on never even developed in their own evolution.

Though, in any sane world, he'd be going to jail for the robot uprising he put the pieces together for, or at least be neck-deep in dealing with all the serious hits his company would be taking after KSI helped give Galvatron the army he needed to wreck Hong Kong.

If you have to come up with your own personal rationale for it to make sense (in lieu of the film's presently not yet being released, of course), then doesn't it stand to reason that the presentation given as is doesn't make sense on its own since the explanation is coming from yourself rather than the source trailer we're provided with?

Randomhero wrote:Certainly better and throwing a fit over 5 seconds in a 2 minute trailer to a over 2 hour long movie.

Ah, thank you for enlightening me that one having a different opinion from yourself, and pointing out nonsense with elements of snark and bewilderment, equate to "throwing a fit".

THAT WAS LITERALLY THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! THAT SHIT WAS CRAZY!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! LET'S GO!!!

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Wait wait wait wait wait...

He pulled a Waspinator.

For once the absurdities of Bee's plot armor is actually bothering me even as a fan of these movies like I know some people think Bayformers are like Bionicles but this is ridiculous eh?

Also Quintessa's face disturbs me thanks people who wanted them to look human now we suffer from the uncanny valley.

Hold up, they just showed Megatron fighting Hound. I hope that isn't the end for him.

Hey, that's Hound that Megatron is fighting at around 1:52. Also, that scene at the end with Bumblebee reminds me of the Mk. 42 from Iron Man 3!

I think Cade reconstructs Bee.

That is why they put that hint-line in about Super Powers - and Cade is "The Last Knight" so it may come with super powers.

So that is why he's able to reconstruct Bee in a similar way to how Buster Witwicky does Jetfire.

Speaking of which that would have been useful to have 8 years ago for poor ol' Jetfire - but then he did also disrupt his own spark (unless Jolt kept it in a box for the last 8 years).

But I doubt Bee does that to himself - "Unless" he gets special abilities too (which is hinted at in some promo-material) but I would expect him to get a body upgrade if he does .

Also who or what shot him ?

A mere human also changed the entire thought of what black holes are in his thesis. His name is Stephen Hawking. Joshua was shown to be a genius that broke down the transformers physiology and "improve it"

We know that from movies 1-3 they didn't share their technology. Once the Alicante was broken KSI started taking them apart and discovering things. That's not that far fetched. Humans have always been changing what's been perceived and creating the impossible. It's not that hard to believe that humanity could change the fundamentals of transformer physiology.

And if you don't believe that well...nebulons and headmasters. It's not an old idea that organic can change transformers to perform better.

Looks like he was tussling Barricade. Or some cops, anyways.

Also... superpowers? Aheh... where uh... where did you make that... hehe... assumption?

I don't think anything shot him. I think he disassembled himself, and then reassembles to catch TRF by surprise.

Hot Rod's in that scene too so if it's anything like 1986...

Anyways out of all the returning AOE bots I expect Hound to die since with the decent amounts of time in AOE and his upbeat attitude more of the general audience probably cares about him above say Crosshairs who is a jerk and Drift who is stoic which makes Hound the perfect one to die either in battle or as a sacrificial lion Hound.

Said "entire thought" was also previously conceived by other of his own race before him, not an advanced alien race whose science far outclassed humanity's by several millennia.

Which was all Brainstorm's doing, telling them what to do and how to do it (going by the cartoon).

I think Bee was shot - thus the line "What was that"... "That was a mistake" and we see him getting shot at and falling over - so I DON'T think it's implied he wasn't falling apart to avoid getting shot. But that he got blown to pieces.

-Michael Bay

I think Bay got very confused there ; that sentence makes so little sense - I've had results from translating Chinese that made more sense than that.

So if he's saying adding things like moving cogs (what we'd likely call "Mech Alive") stuff is fine a bit fussy looking - but fine.

In some ways though Movie Transformers often have LESS Kibble not more.
sure Ironhide had visible break discs in his shoulders and they tend to retain some car parts around and about a bit - but Optimus now has none at all bar a hint of smokestacks.

Bumblebee is more like a Traditional Transformer in that he retains his door kibble and car hood-chest (pretty much) and also has some visible wheels in his ankles and shoulders.

--

I don't think anyone hates Optimus with Stripes - heck even "Evasion mode" Prime still has flames. It is the flames that bug some people sometimes - I don't mind to much as it's not as if Transformers have not had flames on them before.

I'm not sure what he means by Ribs though - does he mean the red panels on 2009's Optimus' abs or the Dark of the Moon change to the belly ?

Or the striping on Western Star Optimus' belly.

I'm confused.

And in age of extinction they were dissecting transformers brains. Who knows what they found in them. It doesn't change the fact that it's possible.

Ironhide got plenty of new mold toys in DOTM and look how that treated him.

If there is an AOE Autobot death in this it's going to be emotional and what could be more emotional then killing off the big friendly emotional guy eh?

I think Bee's new ability will be explained maybe not in depth but I believe it will be acknowledged they put stuff like this in the trailers to get ya to watch the movie every movie does this.

"You want to know don't you why Bumblebee's a magic boy now...eh?"

And other bits and pieces if your looking for them, the problem is not that there is no kibble on Prime but it's the fact that all his parts bend and warp like liquid metal so basically Transformers Prime and New RID designs in movie form.

It's Hot rod if your talking about the scene where Megatron attacks Hound.

Why didn't JAZZ do that?!!!! I still want JAZZ BACK

So......Bee can put himself back together


so how many people will be doing that to their toy to try to recreate that scene?(mind you...the head, arms & legs will prob be on ball joints anyway)

I already did it earlier and was gonna take a photo but then i thought it would be cool if i did it stop motion with him reforming but then i realised that would be hours of tediousness to set up and so i quit.

But yeah I think most people have accidentally pulled off an arm or leg or head from a Transformer whether posing or transforming them or whatever.
