Transformers: The Last Knight Official Trailer 1

<<sigh>>

After much (blessed) silence, the first official trailer for Michael Bay’s new boom-pocalypse, Transformers: The Last Knight has been released. It’s a bit short on info, but it does give a few morsels for us to chew on and inevitably get food poisoning from.

After a few bits showing a battle in the Middle Ages (!) and some fighting against the Nazis (!!!), we get some mild exposition. Optimus Prime has left Earth, possibly in a vain attempt to leave this franchise. We see tattered remains of a planet at war with…something. There’s lots of tech, lots of slow-motion shots, and metric tons of explosions. A huge, mech-planet – possibly Cybertron – is shown approaching Earth, there’s more explosions, we get a few Mark Wahlberg sightings, and then…

Optimus Prime? Is he back? Did he just suplex the shit out of Bumblebee? And did he just try to shank Mark Wahlberg??? Uhh…confused?

Look, I laid the snark on thick for this teaser because I’m bored to death of the Transformers franchise, but I know this movie will make another bajillion dollars. The movies have tons of fans, and this looks like more of what they love. To them, I say enjoy. For the rest of us, there’s Season 1 on Blu-Ray.
