Yep! Now I can't say the AOE repaint Bumblebee for this movie is totally inaccurate.

It's been pointed out a lot how similar it looks, but we probably won't know until the actual movie is out

Not only that, but the films stay away from anything we know in terms of relics found in different media. Tomb of the primes, all spark, the seed, none of that comes from any lore, along with almost anything else (like Sideswipe using swords). They have shown time and time again to do their own thing. I am always surprised when people try to give them a deeper level of story as if anyone creating it cared to look into other versions of these characters and lore. Not saying these movies are bad, but we shouldnt try to see something that isnt there. they are their own thing and I have no clue why 5 movies in people are still trying to link it with homages. This aint Star trek.

here is the sad truth:

Its just a hammer because hammers are cool

Anything more than that would greatly surprise me.

Can't be the forge if you look closely it has "lines" or whatever on the hammer which would mean unless it's magic anything made would have line markings on the item which would make that hammer a terrible forging tool.

It also seems he had this hammer in the past but the "past" video might be not canon or exaggerated.

It also doesn't look artifacty enough like the Matrix, Allspark and the other relics of the films and it instead looks like a normal hammer also it's quite the coincidence on how it's the same yellow as Bee.

I think the hammer has always been Bee's and he just either lost it or has not been using it for some reason but let's just find out when the movie comes out.

Edit: One more thing the films have already established that there were 7 original Primes and 6 of them died hiding the matrix so unless Solus was retconned in as one of the rather male looking primes it debunks Solus being a thing.

Plus at the very least Bay and Co at least can make up original ideas for relics and usually don't copy paste them and when they do they change it up.

Save for the Matrix of Leadership. ;)

To be fair, this one did have its roots in the preexisting concepts of Vector Sigma, the Matrix, and Energon Cubes, as the filmmakers took the life-giving aspects from the first two when creating the AllSpark, while the cube's name was originally going to be called "the Energon Cube", with the finalized name being taken from Beast Machines, and the change coming late enough in the production for the original name to make its way into some of the first film's supplementary materials, like its novelization.

But even then, the look is completely different. My point was only that people thinking that hammer reffers to anything they know will probably be dissapointed. These films are very much their own thing.

It's also more like a key to machinery and a power source then a container of knowledge and souls I also like the look of the movie matrix myself.

I'm glad that the film makers attempt to make up new concepts or do new things with old ones instead of copying and pasting which is what all aspiring script makers should do with stories instead of rehashes.

It did bring both Optimus and Sentinel (and Sam?) back to life, though, which is a classic attribute of the Matrix's accessibility to the Transformer afterlife.

For Optimus yeah I know he gets full on brought back to life so nothing to say here.

But Sentinel was not dead it's stated in the movie a couple times Ratchet: "His levels are faint he locked himself away to guard the pillers" Lennox: "Sentinel Prime, these things run on energon and he's out of it he's in sort of a sleep mode." and then Lennox: "That's the great Matrix of leadership, He holds the only thing in the universe that can repower a Transformer's spark."

Was Sam actually dead? I always just thought he was just dying and knocked out or in a temporary coma.

It's always possible (Theory not stating fact) that Optimus wasn't dead but just knocked into stasis making him "Not-Dead" but I doubt it.

I cant believe the Transformers afterlife and Devastator's balls were in the same film just moments away from one another.

From the cast of Transformers: The Last Knight, now out on June 21st 2017 (two days earlier than initially planned), Isabela Moner spoke to the New York Times about her approach to the casting and acting with director Michael Bay - getting used to the 'nothing is really there' trademark of the live action movies! Check it out below.

ISABELA MONER

“Transformers: The Last Knight” (June 23)

To win a role in the latest “Transformers,” Ms. Moner sent a self-tape from her home in Cleveland. “I was nervous. I had just turned 14 and was intimidated by the fact that it’s such a big franchise and I’d be stepping into one of the leads.”

The director Michael Bay wanted to see more and asked her to fly to Los Angeles for a screen test. “The hairstylist said, ‘We’re going to come up with the look for the movie.’ Then Michael walks in and he’s like, ‘We might have to cut your hair.’ I’m like, ‘What? Right now?’” Luckily the new look let her keep her long tresses. “So we dodged a bullet on that one.”

She and Mr. Bay went to a studio parking lot, where he asked her to pretend a Transformer was looming above as he filmed. He told her, “‘I want you to shout things at him, be really mean and challenge him.’ So I did what he wanted me to do, and he did as much as he could without actually having to pay me to be there. What was supposed to be a 30-minute meeting turned into a three-hour fun day of just a low-budget ‘Transformers.’”

Wow. What a huge spoiler that tweet is. Putting together 2 and 2, Bay just pretty much told us that Cybertron will be destroyed for good. If 1 world lives and 1 dies, it won't be Earth that dies. So, The Last Knight will be the end of Cybertron. But will Prime and/or Megatron die with it?

While we wait for some more news from the MTV Awards, the official YouTube channel for Transformers: The Last Knight has uploaded a new promotional clip showing Optimus Prime learning how to British (minus the weather complaints and queueing) - or at least, how to pronounce certain words in an RP accent. Check it out below!



He can save the world, but can he master a British accent? Go behind the scenes with Optimus Prime on the set of #Transformers.

The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.

Transformers is coming to theatres June 21, 2017!
Directed by Michael Bay
Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Hopkins, Laura Haddock, Isabella Moner, Stanley Tucci, John Turturro
