Seibertronian Bronzewolf has shared another image from Michael Bay's Instagram account (or his good marketing team, at least) showing what looks to be a set image from the Detroit location of Transformers: The Last Knight, and posters of OPtimus Prime and Bumblebee - it looks like the status quo is still one where Cybertronians are not exactly everyone's favourite thing. Check it out mirrored below, and sound off in the comments about what you think this means for the movie so far!

Well props for the movie not %100 hitting the retcon button. Maybe there'll be some continuity bridging that happens exclusively in non-cannon promotional material. Like all of the other movies.

Interesting, do they hate Bumblebee though? Or he just an alien?

:MAXIMAL:

I think it's to late for trying estabilishing something "for certain". Bayverse timeline is already illogical in too many places.

The entire Transformers franchise is already illogical in too many places right from day one back in 1984...

This is very true plus till the movie comes out we won't know what needs explaining from AoE.

Though in my opinion the area where most questions will be centred on is the dinobots, as I'm where are they now.

The person that first leaked Squeaks the Vespa long before he(?) was officially announced said the Dinobots will be back in this movie along with smaller Dinobots.

Given how much death and destruction they've caused, why would they be welcomed with open arms?

It's pretty much understandable, only so much of humanity would be welcoming if the tfs came in peace from the start, plenty of people would be afraid and start to hate. Just look at more down to earth real examples when people of different races mix. Especially when people believe that just because one small group cause trouble, they all must be trouble.

That's also not counting people using them as scapegoats for other problems.

It would take a large act to get people to look at them without fear but it may never go away.

Also good news about the dinobots :-)

At least they aren't as bad as the x-men movies with continuity. You gotta shut your brain off to ignore all the problems with those movies.

The problem is that the humans are all "kill the autobots", when they have been fighting and dying to save their ungrateful afts. Some acknowledgement of the actual aggressors would be nice, but the humans are killing the bots for what other members of their species did. It's something that happens a lot in real life, but they still aren't justified.

Realistically we would of killed all of the Autobots by this point instead of working with them at all in a program like Nest.


Plus not all Humans hate them just a few civilians mostly those affected by the attacks and Cemetery Wind which was it's own rogue operation independent from the government mostly (otherwise how would they have gotten away with killing allies?)


We are Humans we are A-holes that tend to shun/kill everything we consider outsiders I mean I remember when I was a kid and until I was around grade 8 I was pretty racist and I kinda looked down on people with other skin color I have changed since but my point is that we tend to be bad.

I'm not arguing against it in terms of fiction, it's definitely more realistic. I just don't get why people out-of-universe complain about it.

I'm sure they tried to kill some of the :CON:'s, but I bet that got pretty messy, what with the :CON:'s likely enjoying squishing humans :BOOM:

It's not like they hate the Autobots exclusively they hate all Cybertronians and are probably in the mind set that the military could defeat them without the Autobots and plus outside of those that witnessed the Autobots themselves most people don't really know how much the Autobots helped them.
