Seems to be based on more on AOE Bumblebee's design.

Hasbro/Takara, if you aren't already making a toy of WWII Bee, you better damn well get started.

Funny how his guns look almost identical to SillySpringer's custom Beetle guns

If they made a masterpiece version of this, they could build as many as they want, and there wouldn't be enough.

I talked to Josh on the post on instagram and here are some interesting tidbits.

1 Bumblebee here was going to be a British armored scout like the mk1 but that was changed to whatever the white car in the movie was.

2: Josh designed some of the prison bots (Nitro Zeus and the other decepticons) and in his words

Yes they were based off of bots from other films. I think maybe the idea was seeing how those bots changed after being in prison.


This suggests that perhaps these Decepticons are either the original models (Onslaught being Long haul, Nitro Zeus being Shockwave, etc) or that these guys were from DOTM as the Decepticon reinforcements from the moon.

My head canon is that Onslaught is the same guy as the Garbage truck guy from DOTM it makes sense

Also on a thread on Tfw2005 Josh said he was going to upload WW2 Hot Rod concept art tomorrow he also told me he will eventually show off the Prison Decepticon concept art and there will probably be other stuff too.

A little while ago we saw some new concept art from Transformers: The Last Knight, coming from artist Josh Nizzi, depicting Bumblebee's design during World War II. Now, after much anticipation, he's posted the WW2 version of Hot Rod, as well! He shared it on his Instagram, saying:
WW2 Hot Rod. This was my favorite version based off a Sherman tank. Base Hot Rod design was done by ILM. #transformersthelastknight #transformers

It's a very cool design, so check it out below!

With the exception of Optimus Prime from the fourth movie, Since we've already seen him, I'd like to see some concept art of the movie Transformers looking more like their original forms.

Oh or maybe the nice concept sports car Hot rod originally turned into with a the cool looking Robot mode, that didn't appear like a large version of C3-PO from the Phantom Menace.

Like I said, we saw them do it with Prime in the previous movie, and that was the last movie toy I've bought. Although I may pick up a couple of headmasters from this movie line, just because I need bodies for the extra heads that came with the mini toys.

Hot Rod has his design made and that's that there's no point in being all "he could of been this" what's done is done.


In my opinion this Hot Rod is still better then that whiny idiot prick from the G1 series.

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.

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!
