New Weapon Sighted on Transformers 4 Detroit Set

wow... look at that sword.. this is gonna be the worst of the 4.

I'm hearing Blade of Time. Or whatever Vector Prime called it.

Also, holy shit. Batman is in this movie?!? Best crossover ever!

My guess is, that it's not a sword at all, but it's more of a key. (cyber planet key?) something the size of a key to a transformer, would scale down to just about the size of a large sword in human scale. So yeah, you heard it here first, this is TOTALLY a cyber planet key....and it's going to cause some explosions and chasing, and inevitably someone will cry. (I hope I haven't spoiled the movie for anyone, ya know giving away the entire plot like that)

And this is exactly the kind of overreaction I predicted would happen.

In response to sabrblade's reply to my comment. My statement is referring to the fact that they do these stories half ass. There is such great mythos, stories, etc in the source material than I've seen in any of the movies so far. Example, revenge of the fallen barely touched on the fallen. It could've been a much better movie if the source material was referenced more. Just saying. Star saber, omega lock key, whatever it may be, I hope they actually have a well put together story instead of putting an object from cybertronian history, down playing it, and Just putting explosions etc around it. Dig deep bay, there's better stories out there. Use them and make them better not lame

you're all wrong. it's a cocktail sword for an energon martini. blended and splendid.

Just seeing that sword gives me flash backs of Lord Megatron being snuk up on and slayed in tf prime. I want that sword to shot energy blast, that would be cool.

Well, I'll scoff at all the ideas thus far. Doesn't mean that one of them isn't actually correct, I'm just chaffing a bit at the idea of a human scale sword of Cybertronian origin. Granted, it is still a bad-ass looking sword. One idea that I suggested on Frenzy/Rumbles Facebook page when he posted this earlier is that it could be one of "Wheeljacks" (f*** Bay and his last minute name change to Que or whatever the hell it was) human sized weapons that he engineered for Sam and the NEST troops that had been recently rediscovered. That, to me, seems like a more plausible theory and one that doesn't just totally hose the whole continuity (such as it very loosely is) of the movies.

But sadly, this is the Movie-verse and there is going to be some horribly lame explanation of what this thing is.

I want a replica of it regardless of its back-story. That thing is wicked looking!

Looks familiar...

Hmmmm...if unicron is in this.that will be the thing that kills him.and marky mark ends up being the hero. ethier that or GASP! I'VE FIGURED IT OUT! HE'S REALY HE-MAN!!! that swords a dead give away..skeletor teams up with the cons..yup....
