As you might remember, Michael Bay was honored yesterday by the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX for his movies with a hand and footprint ceremony. Well, we have further images and information regarding the event. In addition to placing his hand and footprints in the concrete, Jerry Bruckheimer, Josh Duhamel, and Sir Anthony Hopkins, who are all involved in Bay's Transformers movies, were on hand to deliver speeches. Even Bay's dog, Rebel, made an appearance! You can check out the images from the ceremony below.

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.

I think this might be the first time that we've ever actually gotten any kind of plot synopsis (even if a vague one) for this movie.

Also:

So there is a new spot on not much new but It's got a new shot of Dragonstorm and some of Bee partially Transforming so he can shoot Barricade in the shot we've seen in other trailers.

Low quality for now will update post when HQ version comes out.

Edit: This Instagram post is clearer but you can't put it on fullscreen or at least I can't.

Fellow Seibertronian Deadput has spotted a new TV spot (heh) for Transformers: The Last Knight, which doesn't show too much more compared to the latest international trailer, but does have an extra shot of Dragonstorm and of some casual planet shattering. Check it out in very shaky quality in the two recordings below! We will update the post once a better quality clip surfaces.

UPDATED: New video from comicbook.com

Anyone know the actual date of the Chicago premier? Even if I don't win this contest I want to go, and even if I don't get into the theater to see it, I want to be there in spirit.

Oh, and there's a higher quality version of the TV spot:

Via the official Facebook page for Transformers: The Last Knight, we have some in-movie information on the character Santos, played by Santiago Cabrera, aka the commander of the Transformers Reaction Force - the humans that don't want Cybertronians around. You can check out a screencap below, and the animated clip embedded too!

As commander of the TRF, Santos sees no difference between Autobot and Decepticon. All must be eradicated. #Transformers

Even if this movie doesn't end up being the best story ever told at the very least this movie is going to look really good.

Like even the effects look much better then AOE I bet the theater experience in 3d is going to be like DOTM or better.

Once more thanks to fellow Seibertronian Deadput we have Yet Another TV Spot for the soon to be released Paramount live-action movie Transformers: The Last Knight - this time tweeted out by the UK branch of the film studio - titled 'Forgive Me'. There is no real new footage, other than a couple of frames more of Dragonstorm and some of the human cast looking distraught, but check it out for yourselves below!

We had somehow missed the first clip in this series, but the youngest and newest member of the human cast for Transformers: The Last Knight - Nickelodeon star Isabela Moner - has been releasing behind the scenes looks at the filming for the live-action movie, so far during the English part of the shooting, and featuring Anthony Hopkins, Josh Duhamel and more! Check both clips out below.

And people thought what Bumblebee did in the first movie was bad and inappropriate. :WHISTLE:

That was my first time using attachments rather than my usual imgur links and despite a couple edits I still messed up the order. The vehicle photo was meant to be third with the two posters first and second. Oh well you knew what I meant anyways. Thanks Va'al.

Sent a facebook message to my friend earlier who is there for the whole weekend to ask if she can get me the posters. I know from experience that phone signal is pretty lousy in that building though so if she don't seem the message tonight maybe she can see my message later on and get them for me tomorrow.
