I'm honestly finding it more sad that I just don't care. This franchise is literally my favorite thing on the planet, and I couldn't give a damn less that it's hurting right now. I haven't even seen the movie a second time. I watched AOE a whole 7 times in theaters, but I have no desire to see TLK again. They should have delivered on what they promised the first damn time.

I think that's the part that stings the most, that this writer's room was touted for so long to be a turning point for the storytelling aspect and writing, but all they did was force random things they read about (headmasters, duocons, quintessa, time travel, the true nature of earth...) and cram them into this movie without doing anything beyond that to make it any good



I kinda just jumped to a random page to see what the conversation still was, and I saw this, and I have to admit that I've found myself wondering about the writer's room as well. It's just another installment of "We're going really make the next movie work, guys" that went nowhere. If it took a room of people to come up with the writing for TLK, I'd like to know what happened to the work they produced, because this movie was the same random jumble that the previous four were.
I'm not here to be argumentative or anything, but there's no way it took several competent writers to turn out TLK. And, if it did somehow, I'd hope those writers were relieved of their duties, as they clearly failed in their objectives.

i AM glad its doing so well at the cinema.

mainly because IMO its the best film since the first and im disgusted at the pile on by so called "professional critics" who've been flaming it from day one.

its obvious to everyone they were more intrested in trying to kill this franchise than do their job.




I know this is a well wornout argument, but they aren't not "professional" critics because they don't like a movie that other people do. And, there have been four prior entries in the franchise; how much more would they have to see before they could feel they've made up their minds in terms of how they view the newest movie? Nothing really changes from movie to movie, so it's not exactly like watching each new chapter is a completely fresh experience.

I get it from the fan perspective: the critics don't know anything because they disagree with me. But that doesn't really hold any water.

I've got a sneaking suspicion the "writer's room" was simply hyperbole and giving heavier focus to something that most movies have. Making something basic sound like it's something unique and new to make it sound like they're fixing a lot of the plot and character related problems a lot of people had with the movies.

Course, I've no idea if that's actually true; but considering what a lot of people are saying about TLK's plot - not just that it's a random jumble but it still is basically the same movie as the last lot - I don't think I'm terribly far off. That the talk of a writer's room wasn't a lie, just a wild exaggeration.

I didn't expect anything. I have seen the other four Transformers movies, after all.

But I agree with Kurona's previous post. I think that the writer's room was mainly to try and sell the 'cinematic universe' idea, like it was just a smokescreen to suggest the idea of something grand and unified.

I was not amused [-(

But seriously, that being the first scene got me ready for the horrid movie that it was where the director had no sense of tone.

All in all, Transformers The Last Knight was a mix of the good and the bad. If you have a low expectations and going to a good summer blockbuster action movie, it's ok. By no it ruined Transformers the way ROTF and DOTM did. If only they decide to use some decent Transformers action and character development instead of drunk Merlin and Evil Optimus thing was more ambitious...

So Wesley Burt who has done Concept art for the movie before such as AOE has posted some images of an early concept of Canopy who in here seems to originally turn into some trains.

Obviously Canopy became the long haul reuse since well you know but I personally like both.

Why waste time and money to render a decent new form for a guy that will be killed in one of first few minutes?

But I agree with Kurona's previous post. I think that the writer's room was mainly to try and sell the 'cinematic universe' idea, like it was just a smokescreen to suggest the idea of something grand and unified.
At least they admitted that first four movies were just a series of summer blockusters, not a cinematic universe, it dosen't make plot holes any less offensive, but at least they are honest with us. Just not sure If I like that they will try sell the same thing again and again with "hey, look, it's a shared cinematic universe!".

The Last Knight Concept Art for Canopy and Daytrader Revealed

Postby WreckerJack » Sat Jul 08, 2017 5:33 pm

Motto: "The complain train is leaving the station."
Weapon: Arc-Welders
Thanks to our very own Deadput we have some concept art from Transformers: The Last Knight. These images show us how the artist Wesley Burt drew up Canopy and Daytrader ("Traderbot" as he is called in the image notes). On his Instagram page he talks about Canopy's design.

Initial visual development for the Canopy character in Transformers: The Last Knight, based on a Chicago L rail car. He hides all the little bots from drone surveillance with his ruins ghillie suit.

In the images below we can see how his design for the character model progressed. Some of the colors darkened as the drawing was finished. What do you think of these designs?

Yeah, the animation style of the movie wouldn't/doesn't work well with traditional unbroken shapes and panels.

I don't get why "Daytrader" or the Junk bot wasn't Wreck-Gar. It would have been an appropriate name reuse. Oh well ... hopefully a new direction is just beyond the horizon with the live action film franchise.

My guess, based on Daytrader's concept art, is that they wanted to basically make him be "Steve Buscemi as a Transformer" as a start, but then only added all the excess junk once he ended up being a modified reuse of Hound's robot mode CG model. If that's how it was for him, then Daytrader was meant to be "Daytrader" from the get-go, with the junk being added in later making him similar to Wreck-Gar in only a superficial manner. At least, that's just my theory.

But... Daytrader doesn't even use Hound's body like at all it's not a Long Haul to Onslaught/Canopy(Who reuses a modified Jolt head so not even Canopy's head is original) thier just both "chunky" with beards and Daytrader's beard is only put on top of that concept head design.

No I'm not joking that head design is in the film but just like how Hound has this face without the beard.

Those were all discussed in the spoiler thread. This is the non-spoiler thread.
