"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.

Production begins on the action-adventure sequel June 2016. The Last Knight will bring back series director Michael Bay in what he claims will be his last Transformers film and Age of Extinction star Mark Wahlberg.
