Ever since production started onTransformers: The Last Knightlate last month, we’ve already learned that a few of our favorite Autobots and Decepticons such as Megatron andBumblebeewill be back for this sequel. Today, directorMichael Baytook a break from the production to introduce a brand new robot character, Squeeks. The director is seen in the first of two new photos alongside Squeeks and his new co-starIsabela Moner.
We’re pretty sure Squeeks is an Autobot, with the director debuting two new photos on his official websiteMichaelBay.com. Squeeks is a 1960s/1970s Vespa scooter, and since we see what appears to be a junkyard in the back of this photo, it’s possible thatIsabela Moner’s mystery character discovers Squeeks in this automotive graveyard. This image comes just a few days after the Decepticon cop carBarricadewas unveiled.
The Last Knightcenters on Optimus Prime, who has been searching through the cosmos for the Quintessons, the beings believed to be responsible for the creation of theTransformersrace. Meanwhile back on Earth,Wahlberg’s Cade Yeager will be facing a new alien threat that bringsJosh Duhamel’s Lennox (and possiblyTyrese Gibson’s Epps) back into duty.Isabela Moneris playing the female lead, though no character details have been revealed.Jerrod Carmichael(NBC’sThe Carmichael Show) has also come aboard in an unspecified supporting role, possibly serving as this sequel’s comedy relief.
Earlier this month, rumors surfaced that reveal Optimus Prime is searching for an “artifact” on Earth that could help bring his home planet of Cybertron back to life. The artifact is reportedly tied to the magician Merlin from King Arthur lore, but these details were never confirmed. However, that report also first revealed that there would be a Vespa named Squeeks, along with another Transformer named Cogman, who has a British accent and transforms into a luxurious Aston-Martin. Since we now have our first look at Squeeks, perhaps we’ll be seeing Cogman soon.
Michael Bayis directing from a script byIron ManwritersArt Marcum&Matt Holloway. They are joined byBlack Hawk DownwriterKen Nolanon the screenplay. The team were part of Paramount’s writer’s room that generated several ideas forTransformerssequels and spinoffs. In related news, theTransformersInstagram page has also posted a new video from the set featuringJosh Duhamelreturning asLennox. While the actor starred in the original trilogy,Transformers,Transformers: Revenge of the FallenandTransformers: Dark of the Moon, he didn’t return for 2014’sTransformers: Age of Extinction. Take a look at these new photos and the video from the set ofTransformers: The Last Night, arriving in theaters exactly one year from today on July 09, 2025.
