Thanks to Ben’s World of Transformers, we have an image of an impressively large billboard in New York City advertising for the next Transformers film, The Last Knight! The billboard features Optimus going up against what appears to be three dragons (or a three-headed dragon?) as well as a Decepticon flag hoisted atop a space station or vessel of some kind. Whatever the case, it already looks like the cast of villains for Transformers 5 will be an interesting one.
Check out the full image after the jump and share your thoughts in the discussion below!

I think it would be the Bayverse version of Unicron.

They certainly seem different from any Transformer we've seen in the movies. They almost look as though they are being formed out of Cybertronian buildings, like a living fortress.

What if we're thinking of this all wrong? Maybe the dragon heads aren't a TF at all….. What if they're like gargoyles where the Quintessons are

I just saw this poster hanging a California theater, and I took some photos of it. I'll scroll thru the thread to see if anyone else posted before posting them.

All excellent points, but since it's conceptual, who's to say that it isn't just symbolism? Prime's sword over the city, as in he's protecting the city and such?
And where is the other flagpole (couldn't see it on the phone)
Lastly, what is that pole on the bottom rightmost corner? To me, it almost seems like a ship's mast
GAUGE
You guys HAVE to remember, It's just Conceptual Art.
Obviously place filler art, Since they have nothing final to show off yet.
Still pretty rad though, even if just a Collage of concept art pieces.
It's also 6 completely different Art pieces (You can tell by the clashing art styles, lighting etc)
1. The (Thorn Bushes) Dragon atop a platform (pay attention to that water level), Con Flag(yes there's another flag pole) and The (2001: a space odyssey) Space Station.
2. Optimus Prime fully rendered (with Sword). (also take notice that the flag pole cuts off BEHIND the sword)
3. The piece of Cybertron overhead behind prime.
4. Generic Photo of a City behind Prime's Sword. (That should be flooded and destroyed judging by that Water level. )
5. Mysterious floating Metal mountains (spires)
6. Underwater shot of the Fallen Space Station Wreckage on the art behind Prime. (You can tell it's underwater because you can see a military submarine shining a spotlight on it)
Also, Notice the exact down to the last detail floating mountain (Spires) right above prime's shoulder.

Arrrrgh! There's a new poster all over Instagram that looks really good but it's just fan art. lol There's always gotta be at least one that spreads and makes people think it's real.
I remember for TF4 there was one that fooled a lot of people but the person who made it literally just took a screenshot from Pacific Rim and slapped TF4 on it, lol.

Okay, that is an awesome poster!
It almost reminds me of a dragonesque Deceptigod.
EDIT: The upper left part of the picture has the honeycomb pattern seen in Cybertron in DOTM.

I really think everything about Optimus' looks here is just for the poster. It really looks like they're trying to make him look like a drawing, or painting. As for the beast he's fighting, there's both Earth and what's presumably Cybertron behind them, so we can't say which, if either, the fight will take place on.

What if he is another version of his Diablo mode? one that looks more modern and at the same time alien…… I would love to see that
(I know it takes away from ILM conserving mass, but still)

So many people with so many theories. Any theories about Op? He obviously didn't just drop into a fight with whatever that is. How'd he get there? His mask looks to have more blue on it and his shoulders are not the same. What would his alt mode be then and there? A Cybertronion truck?

The Dragon maybe is Megatron in disguise,just like the Beast Wars Transmetal counterpart.
MyloTron
Excellent SilverOptimus.
