* The FinalBattle between Optimus and Megatron. Optimus gets pinned by Megs with his own sword ''an inch away from being forced to decapitate himself.''
* The ending shows a woman in blue robes approaching one of the horns which has now become a worksite for humans. She warns them not to touch the horns as [[spoiler: Unicron does not like being touched]], and then she switches to a VoiceOfTheLegion as she offers to show them how to kill him, [[spoiler: her face switching to that of Quintessa]].

* The ''[[SerialEscalation fifth]]'' trailer is deeply unsettling: it features virtually no dialogue, just a series of increasingly ''violent'' action scenes intermixed with what looks like the entire planet being ripped apart, and rising war drums in the background. Any scene that doesn't qualify in those categories is of a human looking ''terrified''- except a scene in which Quintessa gives the [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou camera]] a PsychoticSmirk.

* Like in ''Transformers: Prime'', Earth formed around [[spoiler:Unicron. And some human scientists are studying pieces of him. Who's to say he's not going to wake up at some point soon?]]
* Quintessa is a legitimately creepy character. Not only is her face a pure violation of UncannyValley but the incredible power she wields shows just why Lockdown payed her so much respect in the previous film. Case in point, how she corrupts Optimus to do her bidding is horrifying.
* Optimus Prime's return to Earth as "Nemesis Prime". There's something ''very'' wrong about Optimus Prime with purple optics.
* The TRF's prison. It really shows just how little sympathy humans have for Cybertronians, of any faction.

* The first trailer can leave one to feel a bit uneasy. For example, the scene where someone is running on a junkyard, with ''something'' visible in the sky. Something large. And it's likely slowly approaching earth, with unknown intentions.
