I guess Barricade realised that it is easier to shoot two eyes than shooting four.

What the heck is a motion poster? Where do they use these?

Barricade is interesting, his CG isn't nearly as solid as the art we've seen before. Can certainly see a few more elements from his previous design in this one. Looks like the whole protect and serve thing on the toy package art was just an attempt to sanitize it while the movie retains punish and enslave on the knuckles.

It feels like when you see those hologram posters in sci fi films where its an add that moves.

Heh heh. Cog-man. I didn't think that was what he was actually going to be called, I thought it was a working name like "Wheelbot" or "Reedman"

His name came from the same rumors that confirmed Squeeks, mini dinobots and Megatron's jet mode so yeah.

Today on the official Transformers Movie Instagram, Paramount has shared some official pictures of the Autobots and Decepticons in attendance at the recent TLK Fan event (Which our gracious overlord Seibertron was invited to)! Check out the pictures of Barricade, Bumblebee, Crosshairs, Drift, Optimus, and the motorcycle, Mohawk. Check out the photos below!

Motorcycle is Mohawk I thought this was common knowledge by now.

it clearly isnt (but then again, most things arent, you would think the capital of Australia was common knowledge), but thanks now we know and we can go write the correct info

Ah ok sorry if my first comment was rude.

The other cons names (no one else is there) Rusty Vw van is Hooligan, Green tow truck is Onslaught the long haul looking guy and Nitro is the Shockwave looking character.

I'm pretty sure that the last time Transformer site staff were on set their names were confirmed from behind the scenes.

Edit: Just remembered that Hooligan and Mohawk were names first came from the rumors that confirmed Squeeks, Cogman and Megatron's jet mode all which were confirmed later on.

Thanks for letting us know about Mohawk. We all weren't 100% sure, so we appreciate to heads up. Article has been updated!

For reference Mohawk is the one on the lamp post in the middle of the photo (in between Hooligan and Nitro)

Points for having an actual Mohawk too.

so glad to get a nice team of decepticons in this film. I missed that in AOE with just getting nameless drones instead.

Yup it's great to see named characters again (I did not mind the KSI bots just wished there were more named cons and that Stinger actually did more in the film I wish Stinger was still alive somehow I'm just going to imagine him in the movie when I watch it)

With them (Megatron, Onslaght, Hooligan, Mohawk), Barricade and Berserker if he is in the film (His alt form was seen during public filming briefly but it could just be a human vehicle) that makes a nice team of 7 Decepticons I hate 5 man teams I always have I think it's too little I think 6-8 is the perfect team size.

[Kurona]

That was one of the things I liked about the first film; a nice, distinct team of Decepticons - with all but of course Megs and Screamer being completely original. Sure they didn't have much in the way of personality - aside from Bonecrusher being a SCREAMING PSYCHO - but they all had their own cool appearance and were in some way memorable.

Also the bike's a 'con? Huh. Thought it was Sqweeks

[Burn]

(you would think the capital of Australia was common knowledge)

Darwin.

Just like the evolution guy. And whoever came up with some of these names should probably be nominated for his namesake awards.

What happened to Canberra?

How would the Blue rusty Squeeks turn into a shiny silver motorcycle with completely different kibble?

Squeeks is a blue Vespa anyways but even so can't remember where but I'm pretty sure someone said that Squeeks couldn't Transform because he was damaged.

Sqweeks turns into a blue Vespa scooter. At least in toy form. As I understand, he isn't able to transform in the movie.

[Kurona]

Wait, shoot; his toy comes with a teeny tiny repair bay? I thought he couldn't get any more adorable omg

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Hot Rod looks better than his initial art made him appear. Nice!

Cogman.. just wow...

And Hound may be my favorite of the new trilogy bots. That guy is so awesome

[Bronzewolf]

Cogman.. just wow...

Good or bad?

Personally, I really like all his moving parts and stuff (Cogman) plus those fancy swirly inlays on his chest. Super steampunk. I can get behind that.

What I hate is this random growing trend of the scuba mask-face. That circle thing that everyone has for a mouth now seemingly. Bumblebee started it, and it looked fine there because he had definition in his eyes, but then Hot Rod got it, and now Cogman. It makes them look like clones of Bumblebee (Ironically they look more like clones of bumblebee than the actual clones of Bumblebee from AOE) with really beady eyes. Would it kill them to give the characters face plates? I'd even prefer mouths over this.

I don't like it, based on first looks

This is very likely Cogman's headmaster robot form and his actual robot mode head looks different since Cogman here lacks any vehicle kibble from his Aston Martin alternate form.

Hot Rod's excuse is that he is "brother in arms" with Bumblebee so that's why they are so similar (and why Hot Rod has big eyes)

Not defending the head designs but providing a possible explanation.

[Deadput]

Am I the only one who gets that feeling that Cogman is going to be voiced by Alan Tudyk?

Cogman is rumored to have a British accent after all.
