The video is short, only 19-seconds and as many of you will have guessed, is a morse code message. When decoded, the message spells out:

"I’M COMING FOR YOU MAY 31."

Combine that with the message from the tweet, "Something wicked this way comes" and it seems we'll be getting intel on the film's villain on May 31. Will it be Unicron? Fans of Michael Bay's franchise all seem to think that's where The Last Knight is headed.

Mchael Bay's "last" transformers film, Transformers: The Last Knight will hit US theaters on June 23, 2017. A Bumblebee spinoff film will be released the following year on on June 8, 2018, which will be followed by Transformers 6, releasing on June 28, 2019.

My first first!

Insert your own 'Michael Bay is the villain' joke here.

Spock0Clock - 5/28/2016, 7:33 AM

I tried to, but the text box exploded...

Ironbot - 5/28/2016, 7:33 AM

@TheBritAvenger - of course he is. He and Zack Snyder are villains to cinema in general.

Matador - 5/28/2016, 9:03 AM

Michael Bay There's explosions in his explosions!

JonAwesome - 5/28/2016, 9:46 AM

@Ironbot - I would actually like to see what a Michael Bay Batman movie would be like!

Buckster10 - 5/28/2016, 11:07 AM

@JonAwesome - Google leaked Michael Bay Dark Knight scrip. It is awesome!

JonAwesome - 5/28/2016, 1:08 PM

@Buckster10 - LMFAO!!!! This is my favorite part!

Parker00 - 5/28/2016, 4:11 PM

@JonAwesome - Just picture Batman & Robin with all the neon lighting replaced with explosions...

Tasmaniac - 5/29/2016, 6:15 AM

@JonAwesome - [frick]in pissed myself at the WOMAN description!!!

JonAwesome - 5/29/2016, 9:09 AM

@Tasmaniac - right!? Cause it sounds exactly how a Michael bay film would play out!

DeathSeal - 5/28/2016, 7:26 AM

After all these years! I old like to thank the academy, my friends and family and of course all the little people who helped make this happen.

NovaCorpsFan - 5/28/2016, 7:27 AM

@DeathSeal - would*

DeathSeal - 5/28/2016, 7:28 AM

@NovaCorpsFan - stupid smart phone and it's tiny buttons.

DeathSeal - 5/28/2016, 7:27 AM

Bay is a bad director a bad,bad director. Not really a joke so much as a statement of fact. :)

Ironbot - 5/28/2016, 7:31 AM

WHY?! WHY IS THIS HORRIBLE FRANCHISE STILL GOING?! EVERY MOVIE IS THE EXACT SAME [frick]ING MOVIE. ROBOTS DESTROYING CITIES WITH HUMAN CHARACTERS YOU DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT! WHY CAN'T HASBRO JUST REALIZE THAT THIS FRANCHISE IS THE EQUIVALENT TO CINEMATIC DIARRHEA?! ARE THEY REALLY THAT SOULESS AND GREEDY THAT ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MONEY?!

ForDarkseid - 5/28/2016, 7:44 AM

@Ironbot - Because $$$$$

Spock0Clock - 5/28/2016, 7:33 AM

Quicker - 5/28/2016, 7:41 AM

@Spock0Clock - That wasn't directed by Micheal Bay. Where's the racism and bikini-clad women?

Spock0Clock - 5/28/2016, 7:45 AM

Ooh, you cheeky you. How about a Michael Bay art film?

BlackStar25 - 5/28/2016, 10:32 AM

@Spock0Clock - Hey! Don't forget his dog!

Parker00 - 5/28/2016, 4:14 PM

@BlackStar25 - That is too f**king hilarious!!!!!

Quicker - 5/28/2016, 7:39 AM

Something Wicked this way comes.

I'll just watch that movie instead.

Quicker - 5/28/2016, 7:42 AM

Seriously, have you guys seen Something Wicked This Way Comes? It's awesome. One of Disney's darkest films.

DallasAvenger - 5/28/2016, 7:42 AM

Yay another Michael Bay production. Well at least it's not Zack Snyder.

Parker00 - 5/28/2016, 4:15 PM

@DallasAvenger - And the differences would be...?

TheArkhamKnight - 5/28/2016, 7:44 AM

Boo

marvelstudios - 5/28/2016, 8:11 AM

Not the best movies. But they're fun to watch.

Scarilian - 5/28/2016, 8:14 AM

Eh, it should'nt be Unicron... at least not yet.

Have Galvatron, the Quintessons and maybe tease Unicron a bit. Throw in Nemesis Prime if you want. But Unicron should be left for the final movie - which for me should be Transformers 6 at this stage. Then they'll have done two trilogies of this.
