These WW2 designs make me wish there was a movie or a series that took place in the World Wars and the characters all had this kind of (steampunk?) design.

That would be something original for once setting wise instead of the modern day or the future.

Furio Tedeschi who uploaded some Knight helmets, Primal and created Squeeks design has uploaded a full shot of one of the knights on his instagram.

Like Hearts of Steel?

Yeah but with less trains and more variation in alt modes, most of the characters would be military vehicles and their colors would be like what we have in these concepts where the colors are still there but their not bright or flashy.

The military look these guys have is a consent reminder that the Autobots and Decepticons are soldiers from two army factions who are consistently trying to destroy the other like in the theme song, like imagine them charging at each other and some Humans with the Autobots and some Humans on their own side like say Germany or there is a firefight and all of them are in trenches or cover as bullet and missiles fly across the battlefield kind of like the opening of TLK but without the knights and more guns.


I also really like Halo, Xcom and other sci-fi military stuff so this is right up my alley.

Well, the concept art starts comin' and it don't stop comin'! Originating again from artist Furio Tedeschi's Instagram, we have another look at the early designs for the knight characters for Transformers The Last Knight. Tedeschi captioned the piece with this:

Guardian Knight Concept from TF5 #transformers5 #transformers #transformersthelastknight #knight #robot #movie #concept #conceptart #cg

Take a look at the design yourself, mirrored below, and thanks to Seibertronian Deadput for alerting us to the concept art!

No, those aren't Steampunk, they weren't even Dieselpunk. Cogman was more in-line with the Steampunk aesthetic.

Yeah I did not think it was the right word but I ain't no wordmaster.

But you know what I mean right?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I agree on the point of a WWII based transformers film. There is some awesome potential there for designs, and Hot Rod and Bee both look good with that design

And Bulldog, Edmund's guard though he's a WWI tank rather than WWII. That's already three potential World War military TF toys right there.

A reminder that we're still keeping two separate threads for spoilers and non-spoilers, as the movie has yet to open in Japan (two days left). Thank you!

[Deadput]

Why did it have to be snakes?

Once again from Furio Tedeschi

[Va'al]

Fellow Seibertronian Deadput has spotted some more beastly concept art for unused character designs in Transformers: The Last Knight - and this time, Furio Tedeschi is back, but it's no gorilla: it's a gigantic snake! Check out the image mirrored below, and let usssss know what you think.

Transformer Snake unused concept for Transformers 5 #transformers5 #transformers #transformersthelastknight #mech #robot

[Decepticon Stryker]

Now that is something I want to see in the movies.

[WreckerJack]

That is seriously cool!

[EunuchRon]

They crammed enough into the movie as it is. We barely got to see the dinobots (again). Anyone want a dinobot spinoff movie? I'd take that over Bee.

Red Knight concept art:

He looks awfully familiar to someone else we know...

[Deadput]

I prefer this design for Barricade Josh made a lot more... I don't hate his new head but it should of been used for someone else.

Also the red knight by Furio.

[WreckerJack]

Fellow Seibertronian Autobot N has discovered an Instagram post that shows us what the concept art looks like for the Red Knight. We have posted it below so that you can have a look. We would also like to take a moment to point out that the Red Knight has a similar look to Stormreign and Dragonicus.

A man by the name of Thomas Pringle has uploaded his work on the last Knight.

Megatron's jet mode


Submarine scenes


Merlin tomb


Dead knight hallway



Cybertron landscape



Sea shark (This is very likely the sub transformer that did not transform in the movie)


And this poster concept that has Galvatron in it. (likely a place holder)

Edit 2: Another on his Instagram by Furio and Pringle

[Mr.MicroMaster]

Kind of looks like Scorn.

[Sabrblade]

Red Knight is totally Stormreign in red.

[Nexus Knight]

Forgot another thread for reviews/spoilers existed...

[Sabrblade]

So, finally finally saw the Last Knight. And...

Spoiler thread, man, spoiler thread!

[Bronzewolf]

Coming hot off the heels of the Red Knight piece reported on earlier today, we now have a gallery's worth of concept art for Transformers The Last Knight, coming from three artists, sent to us by two Seibertronians, Deadput and IAPETUS_PRIME. The first work is of Barricade, from Josh Nizzi's instagram, who does look quite similar to the final version of his character art, but there are some subtle differences, like his head. Here's Josh's caption.

#barricade from #transformersthelastknight. ILM ended up putting a different head on him later on.

ILM of course referencing the famous effects studio, Industrial Light and Magic.


The next set comes from artist Thomas Pringle, mainly, with some collaboration pieces with Furio Tedeschi. They depict scenery, such as a sunken shark-looking robot, as well as various ships and fuori terra backdrops, as well as a detailed look at Megatron's alt mode. Check the staggering amount of images mirrored below.
