Paramount has released new art for Transformers: The Last Knight.
The banner released on Twitter features art of Optimus Prime wielding a sword being attacked by what looks to be dragons or possibly the Decepticon, Scourge or even the Predacon Combiner, Predaking.
Interestingly enough, Transformers: The Last Knight also features Onslaught, the leader of the Combaticons who form the combiner bot, Bruticus. Perhaps Michael Bay is going to feature numerous Combiners in the movie?
Regarding the dragon angle, it’s been rumored that Michael Bay is taking a medieval approach for Transformers: The Last Knight in what sounds like some sort of adaptation of the Arthurian Knights of the Round Table — including Merlin and Excalibur.
“Get ready for battle. #Transformers: The Last Knight is coming in 2017,” Paramount Pictures’ Twitter account posted.
“Transformers: The Last Knight” has a June 23, 2017 release directed by Michael Bay starring Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Stephen Merchant, Isabela Moner, Tyrese Gibson, Jean Dujardin, Jerrod Carmichael, Allen Phoenix, with Peter Cullen returning as the voice of Optimus Prime.
