If you remember correctly, the rumor mill spawned a possible storyline based on the classic story of King Arthur: Optimus Prime returns to Cybertron to find the planet dead, to bring it back to life he’ll need a mysterious artifact that is located on Earth. The artifact needed to save Cybertron is said to be the Sword Excalibur belonging to Merlin (who gained his magic long ago from a visiting Transformer), the sorcerer mentor to King Arthur.
We have now learned that there may actually be some truth to this silly little story as set photos have emerged from the Isle of Sky, Scotland. In several photos here, you can clearly see that the actors are wearing traditional Medieval clothing and riding horses on lush, grassy hills. Based on these photos, we an start to see the connections between The Last Knight and the legendary story of King Arthur.
