Transformers 5: The Last Knight Hound Robot Mode Revealed!

I feel like this might violate the Geneva Convention.

I'm pretty sure they don't write dialogue for Hound, they just record John Goodman on a drunken vendor.

i guess since ratchets dead someone has to play nurse

I'm not sure if having a medic with a finger that's always on the trigger is a good idea. Could be interesting seeing him try to become a medic, though.

With every shot at Decepticon...

BLAM!
"Medic!"
BLAM!
"Medic!"

They'd better give his toy the dang beer belly this time around!

Let's see them somehow manage to get that elusive red cross symbol money smooths over all disagreements

I pray to get "legion class" back

Who died and let Hound become medic?
...oh right.


Would've been rather cosmically hilarious if Drift became the new medic, given his comic counterpart's friendship with Ratchet.

I'm pretty sure Hound is the medic now because irony.


I'm sure there will be a reason in the film for him being one.

I genuinely laughed out loud at this one!

I didn't actually laugh out loud at this one, but I definitely chuckled.

Good stuff, folks.

Awesome. I loved Hound in AoE. He was a lot of fun and has a great design.

I can totally see him quoting Prime Ratchet from the "Stronger, Faster" after beating shooting up a bunch of 'Cons- "Don't worry, I'm an emergency vehicle."

Trying to picture Hhound as a medic, and the first thing I thought of was Ana Amari from Overwatch, and her sniper rifle with healing bullets.

Hound: "Don't worry, I'll heal your injuries with my special healing bullets!"
Injured Autobot: "Healing WHAT?"
BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM
Hound: "........Oh wait, those were normal bullets....."

Well... I think this AoE line is simply ugly. The deisgn of all the bots is too anthro, even with some ridicolous features (Hound with belly and beard!). I don't mean they've to remind G1 style, absolutely: but this design wipes out all the alt modes pieces (except for the motorcar brands, of course: money is money) showing bots like men in metal suits and nothing more.

I think the previous line had a more balanceed look (TF1-2-3): I know they've to change shapet to sell more toys, but there were many ways to change and this was a bad way, in my opinion.

I don't know some have always looked like this style and there's been beard on bots since G1 and animated rachet had a belly to help with the impression that he was the oldest. Still if you don't like the style then fair enough, wouldn't be the first time in this fandom that a style choice divided fans

Because I'm a prick and because I found this funny, I just have to share in the hopes that others find it funny.

And if you take offence to it, well ... that just makes it funnier.

As a Ratchet fan I'm kind of offended by this, (okay not really offended but still...). Hound - the movie version at least - is pretty much the complete opposite of a medic.

Probably the most accurate image ever to this situation.

While I dislike Michael Bay as a person as he just sounds like an overall unpleasant human being to me; I do have a soft spot for these movies since the first one did revitalize my interest in TFs actually. So it's why I'm tolerant of them mostly. Though I do have my own critical moments myself.

I wonder if the reason why Hound took a "medic form" is an ode to Ratchet maybe? Would definitely be a nice way to explain it if they decide to actually give it some depth.

First thing I thought of on seeing hound as a medic

Love it, and very true.

I was in the army and a medic, and I had my finger on a trigger most of the time too lol. Seriously though G1 Sunbow First Aid was a big influence on my being a medic. With the TF movies I try not to get bent out of shape too much about looks and stuff. After this long I have accepted what they are and just enjoy them. I still have my G1/IDW/Prime etc. Although Barricade, Crosshairs, Sideways, Megatrons and 1-3 Optimus are pretty good looking.

This isn't movie hot rod; this is movie wild rider. He at least needs more red than black to at least look like he could be hot rod. I'm just happy that the transformers look more like transformers now.

As a medic I think I might trust shattered glass ratchet a little more than movie hound.

Seibertronians, are you hyped enough for TF5 yet? The official movie Instagram doesn't seem to think so! After a week of almost non-stop Autobot robot-mode reveals, they've moved on to Decepticons! The first one out of the gate is Barricade! Barricade put in an appearance in both the 2007 movie we well as Dark of the Moon, but hasn't been seen since. But he sticks to his trend of appearing in the odd-numbered movies with his latest appearance.
And speaking of his latest appearance, he has gone through quite a change-up. His robot mode is now a whole lot smoother and his head now resembles Bumblebee with his mask down (Dude must hold a grudge or something). He also appears to take after Hound, with a whole host of weapons available, which include right-arm mounted tasers, a multi-barreled gun over his left arm, a right hip mounted gun, and even some brass knuckles sporting the options of "Protect/Serve" or "Punish/Enslave" for some nice lettered up punch marks (look on his back for the alternate knuckles). Check his new robot mode out below!

I hate the slight resemblance to Bumblebee with the mast down, but I love the design over all. Especially the knuckle dusters, that's awesome. Still not going to see the movie in theaters, but I like the design here!

Barricade's knuckles say "protect" on one hand and "serve" on the other, but on his elbows he has another set with "Punish" and "enslave". Interesting. . ..

Actually, he was in DoTM. He was with Soundwave, then proceeded to get shot in the face by some humans.

Also, *bot.

I just realized the amount of stuff he has hanging off of him! He's got a side-arm on his right hip, a baton on his left, multi-barreled weapon on his left arm, two tazer-looking things on his right arm, hand cuffs, knuckle dusters. I really like his look!

...well this is just awesome.

It's... a decent design, but I'm having trouble picking out similarities to Barricade. Or have I just not seen Movie Barricade in that long? I'm not the only one who thinks the two Barricades look completely different, right?

Same as I thought at first, but now that I look at how this design itself looks, IT LOOKS BADASS. I do kinda miss the alien-like look of Barricade from before though.

I thought he showed up -- and promptly died -- in TF3, breaking his hiatus from the films?

Regardless, I actually quite like this design for him. But somehow, and I know this sounds odd, but I almost wish that he and Bee teamed up to fight the Quintessions or something like that.

Man, I KNOW he's going to be a background character with an unsatisfying death, but I swear I would love to see him use all those weapons and such in inventive ways in a fight, like what Hound did in AoE.

It's really weird how they made an unrecognizable redesign of their own character.

I don't mind the changes to the body, but I wish they kept the same head so there's some resemblance to the old Barricade.

I hope that face is just a mask that flips down over his face, and his real face looks more similar to his old face (even if it's made somewhat more human-like).

The second movie was Revenge of the Fallen, not Dark of the moon.

Now HasTak you better have an awesome toy in the works for this cool design.

Well someone has had some luck with some upgrades at least.

I would very much like to see Megatron and Onslaught as well, but mostly Megatron. Because of reasons/obsession.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you guys know that the errors previously mentioned have been corrected. Sorry, it's been a long day.

That is one extreme makeover. Even his head and face are completely different.

I like the new design. That is an awesome look

I dig it too. I just might break down and get that toy, if it's any good.

Can't wait to see how they manage to reshape the car door into a shoehorn.

Yay Barricade! I love his old look but this is good too. Keen to see the toy.

Yeah Barricade looks like crap, but thats to be expected. The original was one of the few bayformer designs i actually liked, and just like with everyone else they go and make him look like some junkyard gundamn/zentraedi looking thing with stupid accessories.

Transformers where never human like giant alien robots from another planet transform aliens look human are goku and superman other aliens don't look human predator, aliens from alien series how are you suppose to humanize giant alien looking robots that never saw human to look more human in face someone says alien giant robot I expect to see non human face on fifty foot tall robot unless barricade is human man made then it will change everything as humans did trying make there own evil prime

I like of him if they his alien looking face instead

He's got the doors on his forearms and the wheels on his shoulders. Looks like Barricade to me.

I like everything but the head. It really does look like Bumblebee.

Maybe if we complain enough, they'll chNge it like they did with the 2007 Megatron head design?

Also everyone, keep in mind that there will probably be some tweeks to these designs anyways. These reveals are probably just almost-finalized-concept-art.
