Calvin Johnson is back, and ready to promote Transformers: The Last Knight.
There’s no question Calvin Johnson is retired. The record-setting wide receiver has made that clear over and over and over again. But the name Megatron? That lives on for the former Detroit Lions wide receiver.
It’s still his Instagram handle and recently, he took to playing Calvin Johnson-as-Megatron in an ad for what else? “Transformers.”
Johnson posted a 30-second spot promoting the new Transformers movie, “Transformers: The Last Knight,” on Wednesday night and it’s pretty funny.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the clip. Talk about a dream come true.

Imagine if they did a similar commercial but with Scott Edward Nall (aka Mr. Optimus Prime).

That was good. I still never saw the Megatron official IN STORE release with the football on the Thrilling 30 Deluxe mold. I kinda wanted to get that "Woo woo Go Megatron! Go Detroit lions!" .

I was expecting something really corny, but that was hilarious and extremely well done. Calvin's face-wheel at the end was great. His overall acting was good too (his fast food drive-thru ordering is so smooth).

Was expecting him to be threatened by Megatron, but this is way funnier.
Now you've made me want to see a clip of Megatron trying to play football.
Chillyn
that was pretty good

Genuinely amusing. "I do not take orders from you, Megatron!"
So is the real Megatron likewise getting unsolicited fan mail and calls from people who think he's Calvin Johnson? There's sequel potential here.

Don\'t worry megatron, it\'ll only get worse when the REAL Megatron comes and stomps on you for copying his name.

I regret not grabbing those sneakers when they 1st released.
Bet they're a small fortune now.

This is pretty funny.

Haha! Nice! What is this like the second official piece of media where Jon Bailey got to play Optimus Prime? I love it. Good for him!
