As promised on the mysterious video last week, Michael Bay is back and bringing us our first look at a Villain from Transformers: The Last Knight.
“It’s starting. This week production. Megatron is back. #transformers #decepticons” said Mr. Bay.
This new reveal already caused a bit of a stir on our forums. The image titled as Megatron instead of Galvatron based on the plot of Transformers: Age Of Extinction.
The Official Instagram account of Transformers Live Action Movies also shared the image but with the title “A battle is coming. #Transformers“.
What do you think of this new development? Share your thoughts with fellow Transformers fans at our movie forum. Stick with TFW2005 for more news as always.
Update: The official Facebook page of Hasbro Transformers also posted an image of a Decepticon insignia with the caption “Megatron will return“.

Thats what I've been thinking.

Even if Galvatron turns back into Megatron or if both will be separate characters, will Bay bring back Weaving as the voice of Megatron again?
TFW10
actually I would like that, having Megatron and Galvatron two separate characters

Ksi probably tried through sentinel to build an optimus like body for their creation.
But the bugs only transfered megatrons mind, not sentinels

I'm gonna have to rewatch it… swore it was megs and screamer's head… could have been wishful thinking though.

I can see what you mean… especially with that blood smeared on one side of his face… it is blood, isn't it? Because if it's paint then the point I just made is completely unfounded.

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting Quintesson Death Face vibes from Megs here?

It's possible that Transformium (or however you call it) becomes unstable after prolonged use and Megatron makes a deal with the creators? (just a though)
I forsee the Creators forcing Optimus and Megatron to fight each other in the future (5, 6, 7 or which ever film)

i also really hope, it will be the same Megatron / Galvatron from AOE.
As he said in the End "We will meet again Optimus, because iam Reborn"
So he really was Megatron with a new Body.
If you look closer in that scene (i had to look twice, and saw it later on Blu Ray)
Galvatron was a Fusion from Sentinel Prime and Megatron.
You can see Sentinels and Megatrons Head as KSI.
That also explains the Sentinel / Prime look on Galvatrons Face.
in my Opinion, that is an awesome Direction the Movies will go,
Two Minds fused into one Body.
Sentinel and Megatron are awesome villains. But i never liked Megatrons
trashy damaged rusty Body. Galvatron was the best one; he even had FINGERS / FULL Fists this time
For me AOE Prime and AOE Galvatron were the best Incarnations of Optimus and Megatron ever
The Epic Battle iam still waiting for is: Optimus + Galvatron VS Unicron
like in the Armada Anime Cartoon.
this would be the most epic Fight ever.

That wasn't an idea first put forward by IDW, though – while it's usually just a typical Megatron-derived Galvatron, often they'll bring in a version from an alternate universe (typically called Galvatron II) while the 'normal' Megatron stays Megatron.
Heck, back in the Dreamwave days, Armada's 'Worlds Collide' arc actually had G1 Galvatron come through with a few other Unicron Heralds and end up fighting Armada Megatron.

There's literally no indication of this either way, positive or negative.
Also, I'm with those who see the tusks as being more part of a battle mask than the actual face.

So I'm guessing they're going to pull an IDW and make Megatron and Galvatron 2 separate characters?

Thank you! These are actually the kindest words someone has ever said to me on this site. I just think we should be able to have different interpretations of fiction and see that we all think differently, so we're not going to view everything the same. We're not a hive mind, and that's a good thing.
I'd love to sig that last sentence by the way.
Exactly! Then again the humans only had the illusion of control.

Honestly it feels like it would be rethreading the DOTM Megatron trip with him having a dirty truck with a cape a bit. I wouldn't mind it if that was the case however it's just something I can see some people being a little annoyed at. Would be cool if the bot was actually an Armada Scavanger homage since he was a character that had a construction vehicle and wore a cape at his debut episode.

Youtuber Dingocrikey throws some very interesting ideas out there and I'm whiling to believe in one of them. What if Megatron is also a knight from the Teminus knighthood and gets upgraded like Optimus got in AOE?
ChaosDonkey
But it wasnt done by humans or human tech. But cybertronian bugs.
As for returning of megatron, well it would be fun if he got resurrected again, and fought galvatron for the leadership of the cons, and lost and got killed

Returning Movie Megatron
I really hope that the writers and Bay give us a good explanation of why Megatron is coming back. This Megatron has to be a clone that the Creators created in order for him to fight Optimus or something. As others have said Megatron does look prehistoric and maybe this is what he use to look like possibly when he was newly activated.
Nonetheless I am still excited for this movie and plan on seeing it in theatres when it comes out.

I thought so too, at first. I'm not so sure anymore.
His defiance when faced with Unicron's ultimatum was when he jumped up several spots on my top villains list. I grant you I was only 6. ;-0
Optimus better stay away from Earth or I'm going to be the one who kicks his ass!
Yes. He is the Fallen. Liege Maximo makes more sense if they are going down that path. The character. Not the name. That name will fall flat with audiences.
I love you so, so much! You have said nearly everything I wanted to say while reading this thread almost exactly how I would have said it, with more style and grace, I believe. You are a testament to what this fandom could and should be.
There it is. The signature long winded, over quoted response that is my TM

Oh I went there!
