Cybertron!" -- suggesting that the film will show us the Transformers' home planet. The cover image gives fans a glimpse at what Optimus Prime will look like as a robot.

Judging by the translation of the voice-over in the clip it seems like Optimus Prime is saying his farewells to Wahlberg (Cade) and the Autobots, asking them to take the mission forward without him:

"There remains a price on my head, and I risk endangering you if I stay. Cade when you find the remaining stones, mark one as my soul. Defend this family Autobots, as they have you, goodbye, don't forget me."
