6) Meet Sqweeks And Izabella
The Last Knight will introduce a new human co-protagonist in Izabella, as played by teen actor Isabela Moner. While we’re not yet sure how major her role will be, she easily got more to do in the trailer than Mark Wahlberg, even though we would expect him to still carry the film. Speaking to an unseen person, Izabella proclaims that she wants to stay and fight against the latest Cybertronian threat. In other words, she’s one brave kid.
It’s easily missed but we also see a glimpse of another new Transformer that the movie will introduce. Izabella can be seen leaning affectionately against what looks to be a mechanical head, complete with headlight eyes and bright blue hands. Going by those clues, we can assume this is Sqweeks, a diminutive Autobot who is described as Izabella’s only friend in the world. According to reports, he can transform into a Vespa scooter and only ever says the word “chihuahua” due to some system fault.
Unusually for Transformers, Sqweeks is an actual physical prop as opposed to all the other CGI rendered Transformers. Apparently, Moner convinced Bay to make it for her so that she could have something tangible to act opposite.
