Empire Magazine has an exclusive still from Transformers: The Last Knight featuring Bumblebee and an interview with the writers from Transformers Cinematic Universe Writers’ Room.
The image shows Bumblebee destroying an un-manned robot to save Izabella from being hunted down. This is a hi-def version of a scene from a very early trailer.
The last film in the franchise was, Age Of Extinction, was “kind of an outlier,” Bay explains in the new Empire. “Because of losing Shia and just figuring out where we were gonna go. It was testing the waters a little bit. This gets us back in the groove”.
Bay’s writers, meanwhile, tell us how they quickly realised that pretty much anything they asked for, they’d get. They had written an English castle-dweller called Sir Edmund Burton, who holds secrets of Transformers lore. “We said, ‘He’s an Anthony Hopkins-type character,’” says co-writer Ken Nolan. “And two days later Michael’s like, ‘So, we’ve got Anthony Hopkins.’” Another new character is Cogman, a psychotic robot butler (“He constantly wants to kill people,” says co-writer Art Marcum) who has been excitedly described by Spielberg as “the greatest four-and-a-half-foot character since Yoda”. Co-writer Matt Holloway, a Downton Abbey fan, one day said as an aside, “It would be so funny if Jim Carter voiced this character.” A short while later, Bay announced, “Jim Carter — we got him.” “It’s good to be Bay,” says Nolan. “Everybody says yes.”
The above is just a portion of the interview. The full interview will be featured on this Thursday’s copy of Empire Magazine.

Wonder why he has silver colored production Camaro door handles which are not on his actual car…

halfway between HK-47 and KS-20… and as good as Yoda apparently!

A weapon to surpass metal gear!

Why do I feel like Cogman is gonna be HK-47?

"There is a lot going on here to the point where it is almost hard to find Bumblbee in the actual image."
Maybe she should learn how to spell the word "bumblebee" before pointing fingers.

She just a writer who's trying really hard to fit in with the popular culture and the popular thing to say about Transformers that it's busy. In reality, the subject matter in the screenshot is pretty obvious.
I mean she even spells Bumblebee wrong so I wouldn't worry about this article.
Chris James
Yawn. Same hacks who can't tell Optimus and Megatron apart.
Rumblestorm
The dumbass who wrote the article in the link below says she can barely find 'Bee in the picture.
Can't tell if she's blind or stupid.

Marvel gets it right, because marvel runs the show, and Marvel is run by creatives who get it.

He's been taking a massive crap on this franchise since day 1.
The Decepticons are nothing more than literal bugs, and as soon as Spielberg said "it's about a boy and his car" way back at movie 1,
I knew he was going to hammer in this "Transformers are human slaves" idea till the bitter end… and he has…
F#$&&"$%")%")!"$!"$
Since when would an advanced lifeform ever shuffle around some fleshbag's house as his butler????
If he's really homicidal, he'd kill Anthony Hopkins, and maybe stuff him full of robot parts and make him the robot butler.
Such dumb shit.
And over yonder in a company where people give at least a single shit, Guardians 2 is virtually on point when it comes to the comics…

He'll fit right in!

How they didn't call Cogman Tux? Like, give us a wee cute Gobots homage, he's meant to be a chauffeur right? He should've been Tux, that would've been clever.

Looks like Bumblebee is fighting one of those Star Wars vehicles. Is this the cross-over no one is asking for?

The CGI in this movie looks so damn good!!!

Well, it's really all about the art for Meryl.
