WATCH: A cool Transformers: The Last Knight prank and a new poster for the movie

June 12th, 2017 by Marc Comments

Transformers… the franchise we keep going to in the hope that the next one will be awesome!

As it is, we’re heading quickly to the fifth instalment and we have a new poster (above) and a rather cool idea. The new movie, Transformers: The Last Knight, is about the history of the Transformers on earth, so what would happen if an image of a massive robot – possibly Iron Hide – pops up in a painting over 200 years old? Find out below…

See what happened when Gallery visitors stumbled upon a Transformer in a painting from 1815 at the Dulwich Picture Gallery.

The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours. 

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
