Optimus Prime Fights a Three-Headed Dragon on Billboard for TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT

Here's a photo of a New York City billboard for Transformers: The Last Knight that's surfaced, thanks to the people at Seibertron. As you can see, it includes Optimus Prime facing off against a three-headed mechanized dragon of some sort. You can get a closer look in these images:

As io9 helpfully points out:

Megatron has transformed into a dragon mode in a few Transformers stories, beginning back in the Beast Wars cartoon, and he even had a two-headed dragon mode in Robots in Disguise. However, the only robot that’s ever also been a three-headed dragon is Scourge in the Transformers: Cybertron cartoon (he’s one of the Decepticons on Animatron, the Beast Planet).

Apparently there's also a dragon connection with the very first episode of the animated series, in which Optimus and the crew get sent back to the mythical time of King Arthur. That was just a normal dragon and not a mechanized/Transformer one, but I wonder if there is an Arthurian connection with The Last Knight subtitle? When we last saw Optimus, he was shooting himself into space at the end of Age of Extinction to...find out where he came from? Or something? I don't know, I only sat through that slogfest once in theaters, and I don't ever plan on watching it again. Michael Bay's going to have to pull a lot more out of his hat than "Optimus fights a three-headed dragon this time" to get me to go see The Last Knight when it comes out on June 23, 2017.
