Filmmaker Michael Bay made sure that he will not be left out in this season of revelations as the official teaser trailer for his upcoming "Transformer" sequel, "Transformers: The Last Knight," has been shelled out Monday night. The two-minute clip showcased what could be a more in-depth look into the very long history of the humanoid metal men.
The video hinted some of the things that fans can expect from the film, including what could be the sequel's antagonist.
According to Cinemablend, flashbacks from different timelines can be anticipated from the featurette, as the Dinobot Strafe swoops over a cliff during the middle ages. Apart from such era, a glimpse from World War 2 was also featured, where Allied and Nazi troops were being hurled sky high, thanks to the ample amount of explosives planted on the set.
There is also a scene showing Optimus Prime floating lifeless and aimlessly on a nearby planet. Fans may remember that during the final scenes of "Age of Extinction," the Autobot leader headed to space after an epic battle with Galvatron and Lockdown to face his "creators." However, the teaser clearly depicts that things did not go that well during his journey.
Another notable scene is where the moon is about to be "eaten" by another heavenly body that seems to have the ability to dismantle itself. Though it is still too early to tell, this immense planetary mass could be the feared devourer of worlds, known as Unicron, that was introduced as the main antagonist in the 1986 animated film of the "Transformers." Nonetheless, such speculation should be taken by fans with a pinch of salt since it still lacks sauce onto it.
Moreover, the most intriguing part of the trailer is the segment where Optimus took down Bumblebee and is about to strike his subordinate with a pointed melee weapon. It is as if the level-headed commander may have been brainwashed or subdued by mind control.
Such mysteries about the newly released preview will all be answered when "Transformers: The Last Knight" finally hits the big screen on June 23, 2017, Gizmodo reported.
