** Cade, early in the movie, is given a mysterious medallion by a cybertronian older than Optimus himself. [[spoiler: It turns out to be a reactive symbiotic machine, shapeshifting into whatever is needed to protect him from harm to the best of its abilities. When a knight prepares to execute Optimus for his betrayal, Cade blindly swings at the oncoming weapon and manifests the medallion into a sword that ''stops the two story tall blade dead'' as if it were a human-sized shortsword.]]

![[AC: Teaser Trailer; Dec. 5, 2016]]
* About 90% of this trailer can be considered fanservice in the best way. Highlights include:
** William Lennox (Josh Duhamel) returns, apparently leading a pro-Autobot militia group.
** Megatron is shown, and he finally has his fusion cannon!
** Anthony Hopkins' dialogue indicates a lore expansion to explain just why the f--k so much Cybertronian junk has ended up on Earth.
** There is a giant, moving planet shown that may-or-may-not be Unicron.
*** To elaborate more into this last one. If it is him? This is the first time Unicron is shown in live action and thus the stakes TRULY have been raised to heights nobody would've expected for this series.
* The visual effects look simply stunning, in contrast to the unfinished look of the first Age of Extinction trailer.
* [[spoiler: Optimus Prime trying to kill Bumblebee!]] It raises the HSQ of the entire trailer by about 500%.
* In a more meta sense, there is something ''different'' about this trailer. The previous film pretty much smacked us in the face by saying how "The rules have changed" and "It's human extinction", when in fact nothing really changed at all, and humans definitely didn't go extinct. This trailer offers no cheesy taglines or prophecies of doom. But it ''feels'' so much darker and heavier. It feels as though there is an actual story being told, as opposed to merely an excuse for robots to fight.
** The trailer is offering us the answers to questions that fans have been asking from the beginning. Perhaps NothingIsScarier doesn't apply here. Perhaps the '''truth''' is the scariest thing of all.
* The music in the trailer is definitely [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic awesome]]. The song is "Do You Realize?" by Ursine Vulpine; even the kick-ass end beat is from the song!

![[AC: Big Game Spot; Feb. 5, 2017]]
* Bumblebee appearing to gain the upper hand over Optimus in their fight.

![[AC: Trailer #2; Mar. 16, 2017]]
* Izabella standing up to Megatron and a group of other Decepticons to try and rescue Squeeks.
* The shot of [[spoiler: Hound fighting alongside Lennox's militia group]].

![[AC: Trailer #3; Apr. 12, 2017]]
* Let's start with a scene in which the Knights of the Round Table all stand from said table and raise their swords... and then the Cybertronian Knights standing behind them do the same!
* We get our first look at Quintessa, the Maker/Creator. She's as awesome as she is terrifying, holding a ''good'' Optimus prisoner with two huge chains.
* Megatron putting up his battle mask looks ''amazing''.
* Optimus uses the back-breaker on Bumblebee- and then rips off his doors!
* The scenes of Cybertron hitting Earth look better than ever.
* Optimus, in the middle of a fight, body blocks an osprey plane that was about to fall and crush Cade!
* Optimus pulling Dragonstorm to the ground and fighting him- and you thought Optimus vs ''Grimlock'' was awesome?
* Optimus Prime versus Megatron. Finally, they fight again!
** Megatron headbutts Optimus into the fucking wall!
* Optimus decapitates all the Infernicons ''at once''. One. Swing.

!![[AC: International Trailer; May. 17, 2017]]
* Near the end of the trailer, we're treated to a scene where Bumblebee gets torn apart by gunfire from the TRF...[[spoiler:only for his dismembered body parts to magnetically reassemble themselves]]!
-->'''Santos:''' What was that?\\
'''Cade:''' That was a mistake.

* Megatron almost effortlessly strong-arms the TRF into freeing a bunch of Decepticons to him in exchange for two hostages. They all get their own Tarantino-esque introductions accompanied by some evil-sounding metal, which is saying a lot for the Decepticons in the film series.

Along the way, an orange-black Lamborghini Centenario passes him, which Hot Rod scans and voila, he's a Lamborghini Centenario]]. In case that isn't awesome enough, his WeaponOfChoice is a ''temporal rift'' capable of stopping/slowing time down.

* Cade has really [[TookALevelInBadass taken a level in badass]], singlehandedly taking on TRF drones and really having improved his ability to repair Cybertronians. He's more or less the leader of the junkyard Autobots, and it's telling that even someone as disagreeable as Crosshairs respects him.
* Bumblebee, Hound, and Cade's stand-off with the TRF. Lennox is able to defuse the situation, but both sides get what they want out of it - the TRF [[spoiler: is able to track Bee back to the junkyard]], while the 'Bots get to go free.
* Megatron almost effortlessly strong-arms the TRF into freeing a bunch of Decepticons to him in exchange for two hostages. They all get their own Tarantino-esque introductions accompanied by some evil-sounding metal, which is saying a lot for the Decepticons in the film series.
* When the TRF and the Decepticons finally locate the junkyard, everybody immediately springs into action, having rehearsed such a scenario for presumably years. Cade, Drift, Crosshairs, and Bumblebee flee into the nearby ghost town to hide, Hound stays behind to fend off the Decepticons, and the Dinobots secure the perimeter outside of the base. Watching the Autobots put this plan into action is nothing short of genius.
** Hound stays behind to buy Cade and the others some time, and takes on ''Megatron himself''.
-->'''Hound''': ''COME AND GET SOME, YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!''
** The bulk of the TRF forces are wiped out by Grimlock and Slug, who emerge from underground tunnels they've been hiding in and make short work of the TRF.
** Cade sets up an explosive trap for the Decepticons which disorients them and gives the Autobots the advantage.
** Drift and Crosshairs face off with the much bigger Onslaught. [[spoiler: Drift chops off one of Onslaught's legs, then Crosshairs does a somersault as he peppers him with gunfire, leaving Drift open to behead him.]]
** Grimlock arrives in the town to help fight the Decepticons, knocking Barricade aside like a toy and [[spoiler: chomping down on an unfortunate Dreadbot]].
* The epic shot of Megatron, Nitro Zeus, Barricade, [[spoiler: Infernocus]], and other Decepticons charging out to meet the Autobots in battle.
* Hound notices the humans pinned down by enemy fire, and hops down from his Orbital Assault Carrier to lend a hand.
-->'''Hound''': Pinned down with Hound!
