And the new logo for the film, which appears to be Optimus's head in a "V" which is a Roman numeral 5.

Is he gonna be actually in the film or just voice?
He's just done a film with Josh Duhamel so maybe they got to be friends and got him interested in doing a role?

Plot twist: They are connected, and this is actually a new Marmaduke film.

Oh...I get it. The "Last Knight" is actually Sir Anthony Hopkins voice or no ...Good show Mr. Bay Good show. 
Whoever thought we'd get a knighted actor in a Transformers movie.

The dog thing I support, simply because I adore dogs and it's horrible to think she's been rejected that many times, honestly, I'd consider adopting that face.
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.

Please be Unicron, please be Unicron, please be Unicron...
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.

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

If they can just add Any Given Sunday's version of Al Pacino, I'll go make some popcorn now! 
Looking forward to seeing Anthony Hopkins, one of my favorite actors of all time, join the Transformers franchise.

I can definitely see Hopkins as another human villain. But until more information about the plot is released, I will hold my perspective of his role as a Gould/Attinger character.
But let's not forget the real stars of the movie...

Hopkins is beyond amazing as an actor. He is one of the acting titans of his generation. However that still won't be enough to make Michael Bay ' s s**tfest worth watching. Still not gonna see this garbage and watch it further drag the good name of the transformers through the mud. No 9ffense to Mr. Hopkins and I know that even when this garbage bombs at the box office his reputation will remain untarnished.
