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.

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.

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.william-james88 wrote:all spark,

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.Deadput wrote:william-james88 wrote:But even then, the look is completely different.

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.

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.’”

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

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?
Maybe that's the twist and they destroy Earth.

That's my kind of hero. I've always loved how movie Optimus isn't afraid the threaten anyone to their face, and even live up to those threats afterwards.

Wait what?
I think we should go over the definition of heroic.
While I'm fine with the way Prime treats the Decepticons (Regardless of what anyone says facts are that they are still monsters who in most continuities start the wars for no good reason and are willing to slaughter anyone else their like the Empire or many real life monsters) this commercial is a bit odd in the threatening of an innocent person who's only teaching Prime British speech.
Although that women isn't exactly being patient or respectful with Optimus either so two wrongs do not make a right but obviously Prime would not actually do this on his own free will (Yes even movie Prime) and it's for humorous effect for a rather funny commercial.

No, what we need to go over is accepting the opinions of others if they differ from yours provided said opinion isn't causing any harm.
Sly thinks differently from everyone on this site. He's not a well adjusted little boy, so you're just wasting your breath trying to get him to conform to your way of thinking.

It was supposed to be a joke.
Because I don't think heroic is threatening other people and I'm not trying to get people to think my way I'm stating my own opinion which I thought I'm allowed to state on a "discussion" site.
Before you go all like "He's arguing again" well of course most people tend to talk back it's kinda what people do the difference is if their being civil or rude about it and I'm trying to be not rude but apparently my comments don't translate what I say.
I thought we weren't supposed to insult or make fun of other users even if they deserve it.

One great thing about Sly is he isn't a sensitive little flower and doesn't care when people say mean things to him because he says them right back.

Yes, I have not adjusted well to the MKUltra mind control that has been imposed on the rest of human society. You're absolutely right.

I really should realize this but I'm forgetful as well (You can tell me to do a job and I'll forget about it almost immediately sometimes) also my own fault to keep expecting people to forgive my outbursts.
I just hope that despite my "reputation" I can make people understand I'm not looking for fights or trying to make others see things my way.

I realize this about Sly (Came across his youtube channel while watching Mass Effect videos and proceeded to browse his channel...) I only brought this up because I thought it said stuff like that in the rules unless I'm misreading them.
And if the "sensitive little flower" thing is a jab at me (Not saying you definitely said this) yes I'm emotionally sensitive and there's nothing I can do about that since that's who I am.
Anyways enough about this drama the MTV awards is on and a never before seen TLK clip is supposed to come on at some point.

Yes watching the awards show is a waste of time if your only interested in the clip(s).
Also if you have good morals but that's my opinion
Someone's going to record the clip and put it online at some point today or tomorrow so it's just a slightly longer wait.

It's an awards show from a network that use to be all about music but is now more about reality shows. Not worth getting offended over.

The original scene was longer (Probably shorter for the clip) and Hot Rod did not speak in those scenes he was seen speaking in he sounds a little different as well also the tank bot has more hearable dialogue while in the imax event it was more like grunting and mumbling.
Until more high quality clip is posted here is one from a recording.

Yup in the imax preview Mark seemed very impatient to be there after pretty much being made to leave the others by Cogman and he actually says dude to Hopkins first which is why Hopkins says dude here.
Like I said this scene was condensed into this clip.
