To be fair, this new one does feature Transformers fighting alongside medieval knights in flashbacks, so at least it has that going for it.

So here it is: the new Transformers: The Last Knight trailer, a motion picture where Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Hopkins get to chat about robots that turn into cars. What an age we live in.

Transformers: The Last Knight opens on June 23, 2017. Here’s the official synopsis:

To be honest, the mythology and Arthurian legend material looked fantastic. I didn’t know I wanted to see Michael Bay direct a King Arthur movie, but after seeing this footage, I think I do. The other side of this film seemed a bit less interesting. The comedy, which is always bad in these films, seems even worse in this one. Anthony Hopkins’ character has a Transformer butler named Cogman who is just plain unbearable, bringing scenes to a complete standstill.
