There's concept art on instagram and such but I haven't felt like posting any of them due to being burnt out on Transformers besides this one by Wesley Burt which is early work for the Knights.

Not related to TLK but Ryan Meinerding who works on Marvel films uploaded two art pieces of the character who would become Sideways back when a Lamborghini was considered to be his alt form.

With all the cgi robot reuses I wouldn't have minded TLK using this guy as say Dead End or something.

Pre-ordering a digital copy of anything. WHY? Is it possible for something digital to be out of stock?

This is stupid.

I have preordered digital games before. Its usually because they offer them at a special price, or have some promotion and I can download the game early so taht as soon as its out I can play it. None of this probably applies to this film but I did want to say why someone would preorder a digital copy of something.

For games, they do offer promo downloadable content that may be exclusive for preorders, but too often, one is BETRAYED by games preorders. Sometimes, the game can be a buggy mess or the special bonus will just be available anyway later.

Here's a video explaining this better than I ever could:



As to go back to a MOVIE digital preorder, the "WHY" still stand. There is absolutely NO advantages to this.
Especially when it's so easy to torrent.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Deadput, we have news of some new concept art from both The Last Knight and Revenge of the Fallen! From the former is an early design for a Knight of Iacon by Welsey Burt.



And from Revenge of the Fallen, we have very early designs by Ryan Meinerding of a Lamborghini Decepticon that would later become Sideways!





Keep an eye on Seibertron.com for all the latest Transformers news, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

That Lambo look pretty bad-ass. It also look like it actually transform into something. I wonder how that design would translate into a regular deluxe toy though.

[Budder Prime]

Amazing how eight years later we still find Concept art for ROTF.

[OptimalOptimus2]

Sideways looks extremely terrifying! Wouldn't want him under my bed at night.

[Microraptor]

Those are SOME shoulder blades.

We have a couple more releases to cover for the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight home formats, courtesy of Toys'R'Us and Walmart respectively! First up, a Blu-Ray Combo Pack, which includes Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital HD and a comic called Mission to Cybertron (like the eponymous exclusive TRU toyline, of course) for $29.99. Then, through Walmart.ca, a similar media format for the movie, but the box also includes two diecast models of Optimus Prime's Western Star 5700XE truck and Bumblebee's 2015 Chevy Camaro. Check out images for both below!

[Rated X]

I just want the damn DVD for $9.99. I miss the days when you could get all the extra features on a DVD only release. I never gave a crap about blue ray. Its like the same thing with slightly brighter colors to make you spend twice the price.

[Quantum Surge]

Ew, reverse colors Prime looks unappetizing for my eyes; looks more like a knockoff now that I'm more used to the blue cab with red flames motif.

[Marcdachamp]

I still want to know where I can get that five film steelbook. Totally need to own that.

[Carnivius_Prime]

I want the comic. The lack of any movie-verse comics (bar that promotional one about the razor) is something that's bugged me. Them's been the only IDW TF comics I've ever really enjoyed so I wanted more but nope. So yeah I want the comic.

[Sarahthecutevixen]

all my walmart does is repackage cyberverse figures from Beast Hunters as a combo pack for last knight, nothing like seeing BH prowl with The last Knight's movie box,

I just found out that the picture they use of Sam among the portraits of the other Witwiccan society members is his Ebay profile picture from the 2007 movie.

Imagine being part of a secret society going back centuries containing great leaders, thinkers and other historical figures; and alongside their portraits painstakingly crafted by incredible artists is some poopy selfie you took 10 years ago for your facebook.

Yeah. It's sad that Shia is acting like he really did take a mental hit from that piece of the Allspark. His character was supposed to lose it, not him. Fame does strange things to people.

The youtube channel Comingsoon.net has posted a new behind the scenes clip from Transformers The Last Knight! It documents the cast and crew's experience filming at Stonehenge in England, featuring interviews with several of the movie's stars! It also shows the process of scouting such a historical and iconic location. Check the full video out down below, and tell us in the forums if you plan to purchase TLK on DVD and Blu-ray later this month!

We still have plenty of content to share with you from Hascon 2017, Rhode Island this past weekend! First up is a gallery and a walkaround video of the Transformers: The Last Knight section of the Transformers area at Hasbro from the event, featuring props from the movie, including Excalibur and other blades. Check out both below, and click on any image for the full gallery!

[Sabrblade]

Guess that confirms that the sword Cade's Talisman turned into was Excalibur after all (since the movie itself never said so).

Celebrating the digital release of Transformers: The Last Knight, we have another behind the scenes clip from the fifth live-action movie directed by Michael Bay, featuring actor Stanley Tucci in his role as Merlin! Check it out below, courtesy of Comic Book Movie, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

[Ironhidensh]

So I just finished watching the movie for the first time. It was bad. Like really bad. Even worse than I had been led to belive. It tall made ROTF look good.

Agreed. Yet Mr. Bay warned us right from the go. Explosions and humor.
That actor shouldn't have different roles in the same movie series, I can't believe they did that.

[X3ROhour]

such a complete waste of concept and opportunity.
stupid.

To celebrate the Digital HD home release of Transformers: The Last Knight, which took place on 12 September, Paramount got in touch to share the various extras and exclusives scattered around the internet - with some of the clips (Stonehenge Tucci) already newsed, but all collected in one place here, you can browse through them at your convenience!

The full DVD and BluRay release of the movie will be 26 September, but the extras are available now featuring cast, crew, extras, actors, and stunts. Check them out!

In more Transformers: The Last Knight and Hascon news combined, we also have recordings of the major panels featuring the cast of the latest movie in Paramount's live-action universe for the Cybertronians - including producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and actors Mark Wahlberg, Isabela Moner, Peter Cullen, and Frank Welker, plus Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner.

The first Transformers The Last Knight panel, during the day on Saturday September 9th, 2017, starred Mark Wahlberg, Isabela Moner, Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and Executive Producer/Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner. The 2nd panel, held later that night during the Transformers VIP event, switched Brian Goldner with legendary Transformers voice actors Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) and Frank Welker (Megatron). We've collated both together in the clip below, as they discuss the cast, working with director Michael Bay, the choices and realities of working on a project this big, in this scale, and of this relevance to popular culture (despite final results, of course), and the importance and difficulty of creating sequels in a franchise. When Welker and Cullen take their place, on the other hand, we get some more insight into the dynamic between them as actors and their characters since the early stages of their career and a lot of voices seasoning the interview too. Check it out!
