"Transformers: The Last Knight" is still undergoing production but, as reported by IGN, director Michael Bay has given audiences yet another look at what he will introduce with the fifth film in the franchise. Posting on Flickr, Bay revealed the brand-new robot in the movie, named Squeaks. 

As stated in a report from Heroic Hollywood, Squeaks is an original character and is not based on any of the Autobots or Decepticons from the original cartoon series or those that followed. As such, there are no G1 Transformers to compare Squeaks directly to. 

However, the image suggests that the new robot is connected to the new female lead, played by Isabela Moner. It is speculated that Squeaks is the reason why she will meet up with Mark Wahlberg's character, who is currently working with Bumblebee and the other Autobots. 

Fans speculate that Squeaks may not even belong to Moner's character and is instead partnered with the characters from the older films such as Josh Duhamel. If this proves true then when Duhamel meets up with Moner's character they will also get to meet up with Wahlberg and his group of Autobots. 

Squeaks may be a new character but even the older ones are getting redesigns. Michael Bay also posted an image on Twitter that showcases the new design for Bumblebee, the primary Autobot leader while Optimus Prime was out in space heading toward Cybertron.

It is likely that this new design was taken not only to update Bumblebee's capabilities and design but also to further promote the brand-new Camaro. This allows the movie to update the robots' designs for the story but also to promote the car brands that they use in the films. 

"Transformers: The Last Knight" is scheduled to launch in theaters on June 23, 2017 and will also star Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jerrod Carmichael, Laura Haddock and Mitch Pillegi.
