"Monday Night Football" viewers were taken away from a lackluster gridiron battle Monday night into a real brawl for it all when the trailer for "Transformers: The Last Knight" premiered during the game. And it showcased a battle that had fans a little bit more excited than the Colts vs. the Jets.

Warning: If you watch the trailer all the way to the end, you'll see what appears to be a fight between two surprising opponents. There's plenty of speculation about who and why online if you want that. But many fans just wanted to see robots punch each other in the face.

Of course, fans weren't shy about delivering their reviews, some of which revolved around the calming, British-accented narration of Anthony Hopkins, who apparently doesn't spend all his time in "Westworld."


"Transformers: The Last Knight" opens in the US and UK on June 23, 2017, no Australia release date has been announced.
