"You want to know don't you. Why they keep coming here, to earth" Hopkins narrates in the clip before a female voice who is seemingly in control of Optimus Prime takes over.

"Your world is dying, Do you seek redemption?" she asks Optimus Prime who responds, "My maker, I do," before his eyes turn red and he heads off to battle Bumblebee in a hard-hitting fight.

"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," reads the film's synopsis.

"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," it continues.
