Horns on a Planet, IMAX Running Time and Reno Returns

Three quick bits of info for Transformers: The Last Knight:

1) Here is a new poster that certainly seems to be designed to make long time fans think "Unicron". Still nada to back this long desired fan theory.

2) An unconfirmed rumor indicates the IMAX version of the movie will be 2h 32 minutes so 4 minutes longer then theatrical version.

3) Reno Wilson has tweeted confirmation that he will voice a character in Transformers 5 which I think makes him the only actor besides Peter Cullen to do all five movies. In previous movies he voiced Frenzy, Mudflap, and Brains. No indication if he returns as Brains or will voice a different character.

New Transformers 5 Evil Prime Standee

Here is a new Transformers: The Last Knight theater standee of Optimus Prime with the evil eyes color. I assume Prime is bowing to Quintessa, his creator but could mean just taking a moment before stomping Bumblebee. Thanks to Feris O. for taking these pictures.

Transformers 5 Length, Clip and Two TV Spots

It turns out a google search provides the answer to a question some fans had - how long is the movie? It says it will be 2 hours, 28 minutes long. For comparison Transformers (2007) was 2h 24m, Revenge of the Fallen 2h 30m, Dark of the Moon 2h 37m, and Age of Extinction 2h 45m so within the normal range for the franchise.

In addition the first vid below is a clip that apparently aired with Ellen tv show. After that is a "Tessa" tv spot with maybe Nicola Peltz leaving a message for her father with another video mostly made up of the recent trailer. Both TV spots then just tack on recent trailer and TV spots to pad the length.

More Transformers 5 Posters and Character Profiles

The rest of the Cineplex Posters were released which shows off the core characters from Transformers: The Last Knight with the other two added from the previous post. The top left pic is a German poster for the movie and you can find additional behind the scenes pics and stills here.

Last is an odd and sometimes annoying video that is a series of alerts from the Transformers Reaction Force (TRF) that exists to hunt down all Transformers regardless of faction. Its really a series of brief gifs combined with "reports" that summarizes human, Transformers, and locations that will be in the movie. Update: Added the last three posters.

Transformers: The Last Knight Banners and Posters

Below are pretty cool images found at a Russian site by TFW2005. After that are two character posters posted by the Cinemark twitter account of Hot Rod and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

WWII Bumblebee Poster and More Transformers Secret History Images

The Transformers twitter account was busy today with a few images to promote Transformers: The Last Knight. A new poster shows a World War II version of Bumblebee fighting Nazi's (as seen in the recent TV spot) while other images show Transformers interacting with humans during other historic events. Images below.

New Transformers: The Last Knight Poster

A new poster has been released for Transformers: The Last Knight that shows one of the new characters for the film called Steelbane (I think). Thanks to Feris O. for the heads-up.

New Transformers: The Last Knight Poster

In a twitter post teasing Transformers: The Last Knight footage at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards, director Michael Bay revealed a new poster that shows Nemesis Prime (unofficial, just a short hand for "evil Prime") dominating Bumblebee. As for the tweet he wrote

"For one world to live, the other must die." See more of #Transformers during the #MTVAwards this Sunday."

This could indicate a clip from the movie or a new TV spot. The MTV Movie & TV Awards will air live this Sunday starting at 8PM ET.

New Transformers 5 Poster Demands You Rethink Your Heroes

A new poster has been released for Transformers: The Last Knight that demands you "Rethink Your Heroes". The tag line goes along with the trailer that suggests that Optimus Prime has turned on the Autobots. Things to note is the ships(?) in the background that to me look a whole lot like pirate ships and a bit of Bumblebee's arm on the rock pile.

The other thing to note is the purple eyes of Optimus. Hardcore fans are familiar that this is the sign of Nemesis Prime which as the name suggests is an evil version of Optimus Prime. The character doesn't really have a comics presence. Really he just exists for the toy lines as a black and purple recolor of the same Prime mold. The character concept is based on Star Trek's Mirror Universe concept which TF fans sometimes refer to as the Shattered Glass universe. The core concept is straight forward - the Autobots are evil, the Decepticons are the good guys. Both sides retain their line-ups and logos, they just tend to have different color schemes and their moral code is the opposite of what we know them to be. Since mostly a toy line creation, sometimes Nemesis is Optimus turned evil but often it is a completely separate character.

So from a movie perspective this poster then brings up a few questions. Is this Optimus turned evil or a new character? Is he called Nemesis Prime in the story? As always speculate away in the comments. Thanks to Feris O. for the heads-up. Hi res versions of the poster are available on Michael Bay's flickr account.
