Transformers 5: Easter Eggs & Movie Secrets. WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Transformers: The Last Knight–When you’re stepping into the world of the Transformers movies, Easter Eggs and loving nods to the source material are downright guaranteed. And with Transformers: The Last Knight‘s dive into the extended mythology of the Transformers’ true origins, it’s guaranteed that the devoted fans will be pleased. As thrilling as it is to see the history of Cybertron revealed, the truth of Earth’s own Transformer beginnings, and the Creator Quintessa make it to the big screen… that doesn’t mean there aren’t chances for even smaller, subtler connections and homages. Michael Bay and his story team outdid themselves this time, casting aside some of the pop culture references for insights and adaptations of the Transformers mythology the casual viewer will never notice. So without further ado, we’re offering a breakdown of the Generation 1 story beats, the animated film connections, and the character details and re- designs fans have been demanding for years. Needless to say, there will be SPOILERS in our list of Transformers 5: Easter Eggs & Movie Secrets.

The Horns of Unicron. There’s no doubt that The Last Knight makes some big changes or revelations regarding Earth and Unicron in the Transformers lore, with the largest reveal being the planet’s true nature. As it turns out, Earth isn’t a collection of atoms, space junk, or rock at all: it’s all built around one massive Transformer named Unicron. For the existing fans of the toy line, its animated TV shows and films, and the comics, the name carries some extra weight.

Even if Unicron was more of an active antagonist in The Transformers: The Movie (1. The good news for those devoted fans is that even if we don’t get to see Unicron in its full Transformer body, its signature horns do make an appearance. Instead of just two protruding from the Earth’s surface (like the two on Unicron’s head) the Transformers movie comes up with six. Watch May Online Gorillavid. It’s still an Easter Egg for fans who know to look for it… while making it a bit more believable that Quintessa could return in a post- credits scene to approach one of the horn without the entire world noticing. The Famous Quintessa. Every Transformers movie needs a villain up to the task, and with The Last Knight, it’s the Transformer Creator named Quintessa who fills the role.

When Optimus Prime made for deep space at the end of Age of Extinction in search of his creators – hoping to get to the bottom of Cybertron’s history with Earth – audiences probably didn’t expect that he would literally meet his Creator. Or, at least a single member of the race that created Cybertron and the original Transformers. And from the moment her name is dropped, the diehard fans were feeling in on a much bigger secret. For those who might not know, the source material of the Transformers universe has already clarified that the Transformers were created by a race known as the Quintessons. Their home planet was named Quintessa, so it seems that Michael Bay and the Transformers story group have twisted the mythology a bit to suit their needs. Quintessa may still be one of a larger race, and her appearance is far more human this time around. But given her name, and the squid- like tentacles that hang from her body, it’s still a tribute to the fiction fans know and love.

Star Wars Bombers? Even if they both deal with planet- killing superweapons and galaxies far, far away, there’s good chance that science fiction fans never thought to compare the franchises of Transformers and Star Wars. Thankfully, Transformers: The Last Knight makes that comparison mandatory due to some new technology wielded by the TRF (Transformer Reaction Force). Specifically, their drones which can be seen taking to the air against a sunrise in response to, we presume, just about every report of a discovered Transformer. The similarities between the TRF’s weaponry and the TIE Bombers of the Star Wars series are far too great for this to be a coincidence. As a result, it’s an obvious homage to a movie universe and film series held in high esteem by just about every visual effects artist and movie director in Hollywood.

Every Transformers movie needs a villain up to the task, and with The Last Knight, it’s the Transformer Creator named Quintessa who fills the role.

D23 is upon us this weekend, and with it, a new behind-the-scenes glimpse at the next chapter in the Star Wars saga. But although the movie didn’t offer us a full.

Either that, or it’s a hint that the future of the Transformers universe may lead to the Imperial vs. Rebel Alliance conflict – but then where did the Transformers go, George Lucas? Wanna See Some Dead Robots?”Say what you will about Michael Bay’s style or direction, but it’s clear he has a love of Hollywood’s greatest pop culture hits. Aside from Star Wars, the early scene showing a group of kids searching for the remains of Autobots or Decepticons (they’re all the same when blown into pieces) shows that Stephen King’s coming- of- age classics are as fair game as George Lucas’s. Specifically, when one child asks their friends if they “wanna see some dead robots?”The delivery and wording of the line make it an obvious reference to a similar line in the classic Stand By Me. In that film, the kids’ journey begins as innocently (guiltily?) as one asks the others if they “wanna see a dead body?” In that case it’s an actual human corpse, and not the blown out remains of robotic galactic warriors from an extinct planet… but that’s splitting hairs.

Cogman The Headmaster. On the subject of homages and tributes to the Star Wars franchise, not every stroke of dedication is as subtle or understated as the miniature TIE Bombers turned into TRF drones. Some younger viewers a bit less familiar with the original Star Wars movies may not notice the similarities between Cogman, the gold, English- accented, intensely proper “butler” Transformer… but for those fond of C- 3.

PO, it’s hard to ever miss (and for some, may be a bit too direct an adaptation to stand on its own two, metallic feet). Even if Cogman is a walking, talking homage, the Easter Egg dropped in connection to his character is uniquely his own. At one point in the film, Sir Burton (Anthony Hopkins) refers to his Transformer valet as a “headmaster.” While the causal viewer may think it a throwaway line commenting on his demeanor or formality, it’s actually an explanation of the type of Transformer Cogman really is. He’s not all that dangerous or threatening on his own, but when he transforms to become the head of a much larger, much more powerful Transformer body – known as “Headmasters” in the official Transformers toy line – it’s another story. Knights of Cybertron. The main point of the film, as is evidenced by its title, is the added revelation that the Transformers’ role in human history is far more active than the original films suggested.

The most famous example, as shown in the film, is the Tranformers who aided King Arthur in his mission of liberty (essentially members of his Knights of the Round Table). The added twist that Excalibur and Merlin’s staff were actually Cybertronian artifacts is entirely new for the film… but not necessarily the knights themselves. There already exists an order known as the Knights of Cybertron in the fictional Transformers universe, essentially as the ‘ancient first people’ of the Transformers. In mythological terms, they were the first “children” of Primus, the Transformer Creator God.

When they succeeded in turning Cybertron into a paradise, they left it behind in the hands of the other Transformers to spread similar goodness and paradise to the universe. In their absence, Cybertron divided and fell – but in the film, they may have arrived on Earth to help play a memorable role as a new kind of “knight.”5. A Cameo From Sam. If viewers felt that something was missing from the Transformers series after Sam Witwicky (Shia La. Beouf) parted ways, handing the reins over to Mark Wahlberg’s ‘Cade Yeager,’ there may be more evidence than ever that something is missing. Something that, in the new mythology of the Transformers series, is pretty important.
