If nothing else, this is a very good PR move...
Found this in the news in England.
So we called and gave the Loneliest Dog a role in Transformers. We are going to make her famous. Freya, has Epilepsy and lived in a shelter her whole life. We are going to find her a home. If not she's coming to my house! #transformers #autobots #aspa

I'd bring her home with me in a heartbeat. Who could say no to that face?! She'd fit right in at home with us.

Transformers: The Last Knight has today added a real Knight to its cast. As revealed via the film’s official Twitter feed, Sir Anthony Hopkins has joined the Michael Bay film in a mystery role. Take a close look, too, at the image posted with the announcement as it offers another new logo for the film.

I thought we had seen that with the Snapchat story..?

He's just done a film with Josh Duhamel so maybe they got to be friends and got him interested in doing a role?

BUT, OMG this reeks of PR material. I'm all for the dog, but splashing this up as news (not on this site, i mean in general), is such an obvious move to generate an "aww" factor that it stinks. Whatcha want to bet the "role" is equivalent to Bonecrusher's in ROTF, one funny scene and then out.
Anthony Hopkins is awesome, but I dread his role, human or Cybertronian or, hell, Creator (I could see him as a Judge Quintesson's voice).
It's Hugo Weaving, Leonard Nemoy, Ken Wantanabe all over again...Excitement over a spectacular actor, disappointment when they are subjected to a side role or not given the writing they deserve.

I'll take Alpha Trion as a runner-up, but COME ON. Imagine Hopkins' voice doing a couple Orson Wells' lines. "This... cannot be... my... DESTINY!"

Seems to me like they had the chance to mention a cute/nice thing, or not mention the cute/nice thing. Don't think we can fault 'em for choosing the former.

You do know that Bay is an animal lover especially for dogs.

Better that, than getting tragically blown up/dying, like most 'roles' in a bay tf film; I wonder if the street-wise girl will meet this dog on the streets and form a bond with her, seems the most likely, and it already looks the part

IKR! After I painted my AOE Bee up he looks absolutely amazing. I even used the clips off of some yellow mechanical pencils to form the claws on his plasma cannon.

Don't worry by next month we should know if they are coming back or not and I heavily belive that Hound at the least will be back due to being more involved in Aoe then Bumblebee (no seriously I believe Hound had at least as much screen time as Bumblebee).
Remember that one of the first pieces of news for AOE was the alt modes of Optimus, Drift and Crosshairs hell shortly after we found out that Hound was going to be in the movie and unlike with Drift and Crosshairs Hound's name was revealed from the get go and since he was the only other Autobot in the film besides Bee and Prime to heavily interact with Humans and be called by name by the humans show that Hound was probably planned to be in the movie for a long time.
