I haven't enjoyed one of these movies since the original in '07 (though the third one did have a few decently cool sequences), but this sounds like they're taking it to a whole other level of crazy, according to JoBlo...
I don't know... maybe, just maybe... it'll be so weird as to at least be somewhat interesting? I seriously doubt it, but we'll find out for sure on June 23, 2017, when Transformers: The Last Knight hits theaters...

The story for Transformers: The Last Night will involve Optimus Prime finding his home planet, Cybertron, now a dead planet, which he comes to find he was responsible for killing. He finds a way to bring the planet back to life, but in order to do so he needs to find an artifact. And of course, that artifact is on Earth. What is that artifact? Well, here's where things get weird.
Somehow the artifact ties into Merlin, the magician of King Arthur lore. Apparently, the power of magic was given to Merlin by a Transformer and somehow the artifact ties into this. As far as what the artifact is, we can't say, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with the famed sword Excaliber (I mean, they did make sure to include a sword in the new logo, didn't they?). That's just speculation on my part, but it sounds reasonable. Of course, we've seen the effects of time travel in these films already and are aware of Transformers visiting Earth throughout the planets existence, so that certainly fits with the universe they've created and now it appears that the story will add British Mythology to the narrative.
