LOS ANGELES, May 17 (UPI) — Paramount Pictures has officially titled its fifth installment in the long-running “Transformers” series, “The Last Knight.”
The studio made the announcement on Instagram Monday alongside a new video featuring main robot-in-disguise Optimus Prime.
“Calling all #Autobots: Optimus Prime is ready for battle. Are you? #transformers,” Paramount captioned the clip which features a closeup of Prime’s face before it fades away to reveal the new logo featuring a sword inserted into the middle.
