Okazaki Taiiku X Transformers: The Last Knight New Single 「Emblem」

Very bizzare music...

I clicked stop as soon as I heard the autotune.

Neat how he worked the English phrase "Freedom is the right sentient beings" into the song.

This is cool

It must feel amazing to actually drive one of the Transformers's vehicles.

It's been just under a month since the last batch of Transformers: The Last Knight concept art, and now we have a few more concept images for the film to share, this time from artists James Paick and Wesley Burt. Shared by Paick on his Instagram account is an image of "Cybertron Vines", seemingly attached to and invading Earth. This is in contrast to the final film, which featured Cybertron crashing to Earth in chunks, but no kind of merging between the two planets.

Burt, meanwhile, has shared two images through his Twitter account. The first is an early concept for Barricade's appearance in The Last Knight, hewing much closer to his appearance in previous films with iconic character features like his long arms and insectoid face. (An animated version of the Barricade concept can be found on Burt's Instagram by following this link.) The second picture is another rough idea for Daytrader (simply called "Trader" here), appearing much thinner and far less similar to Hound in body-type, as well as sporting long "hair", goggles and a bandanna.

Check out the images below, and share any thoughts you may have in the Energon Pub Forums! It seems like concept art for The Last Knight is showing no signs of stopping either, so keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for any more Transformers news - movie-related or otherwise - that comes around!

Now that's a proper Barricade update! I like that way more than the one we actually got.

Head's way to small on that Barricade it's otherwise a great design, not sure if it would have looked good on the big screen though.

Anyways the more important news to me is the fact we now have an actual Barricade cgi render from movie 1!

No those promotional pictures of the movie one cast like this one are not actual movie cgi renders.

Eh, that Barricade concept's alright though I don't like that spoiler sticking out the back so high in robot form unless there's a practical reason as to why he hasn't broken it down into parts to fold away. i didn't like TLK Barricade at first cos he seemed too 'human' in proportions but I'm kinda used it now. Hell I kinda wish he could just be both. Like the TLK form is his calm patrol bot form and the more alien one there is when he gets pissed off and ready to 'interrogate' the hell out of someone with a vicious beatdown.

I think that's just because he's hunched over.

I think I would've liked this version of Daytrader a lot more than what we actually got.

you know, i would prefer that barricade much more than the one we actually got.

That barricade is based on the S197 II Mustang, which either means this concept is a bit older or they decided to scrap and remake the design when the S550 became Barricade’s new alt Mode. As much as I like sleek new barricade I woulda preferred if they just took his new chest and arms and slapped it on that swole Barricade concept though.

I also like this concept Barricade over the one actually used in TLK. I think if they would've used it there would have been more of a connection to the character. In my opinion they should have at least use the head design of the concept, because if his was not named in the movie, would anyone have guessed that he was Barricade, or just think he was some random new Con.
I did still enjoy him in the film, and yes The Last Knight design for him did grow on me as well.

For those of you who follow the wider entertainment world, you'll be aware of this being awards season - and the Oscars are up soon (March 4, 2018) - and that movie companies and productions are gearing up for the consideration of the industry and the Academy. In light of that, Paramount has made available 'For Your [ours too] Consideration' the full score by Steve Jablonsky from the 2017 live-action movie Transformers: The Last Knight, for free, from their website!

If you already had a copy from the previous retail release, you may spot some differences between that and this version, with some the tracks not corresponding in the two copies, but rather this current release being the exact score used in the movie itself - as you can see already from the track listings. Take a listen, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Woah. Over 80 tracks. Dang.

Would have been nice as a download.

No download, the tracks are waaayyy too short and it's to TLK.

No thanks, Paramount. Stick this "gift" where the Matrix doth not shine our darkest hour...

There are downloads but only one by one.

primalxconvoy wrote:=the tracks are waaayyy too short and it's to TLK.

Obviously.

These are the tracks for the scenes their only as long as the scenes that use them.

primalxconvoy wrote:No thanks, Paramount. Stick this "gift" where the Matrix doth not shine our darkest hour...

Well I know who not to buy gifts for.

I suspected that they were for each scene. Usually, to make a soundtrack for sale, they have to rescore the music, right? The version up for listening is great as a bonus CD, but not as THE MAIN event, as it were.

Thanks for clarifying that it's downloadable. I cannot see the option for that on my phone.

If anyone downloads the whole thing, zips it and shares it here, maybe that would be OK? Yes, I'm that lazy...

Definitely not ideal in formatting, but it's a free 83 song soundtrack... so beggars can't be choosers.

Have to select each track then scroll back to top to hit download. Takes some effort... even more effort if you want to number the tracks and add their file names correctly.

Set aside a little time to do this tedious work... or ask around for a friend who will send you a ZIP file of the MP3s as a better option.

I downloaded each and every track and used the proper album art. I can post a drive download link if anyone wants?

First world problems, I suppose. I too, like to order them, both in file name and in the tag description, plus download the artwork, etc.

I'll make my bed and sleep in it when I state that it's too much hassle to bother over for such a trivial thing, relating to a really, really bad film.

Lazy, entitled PrimalXConvoy likes this.

I wanted to post this because everyone complained about the 83 individual tracks. So I zipped them together with Album art and in numerical format. So It's here to download for all. Here you go. Enjoy!




Sincerely,

Sorry but I can't allow the link. While I, and no doubt many others, appreciate your efforts, you're a new member, and without downloading and scanning the files myself, I simply can't allow a file from a new member to be accessed by existing members.

While I'm sure you're on the up and up, please understand WHY I've taken this route.
(By all means, if you wanted to post HOW others can download the files then please do)

That's an interesting rule. I didn't consider what you wrote before this. Is that because you cannot validate it for viruses etc? How about long term users? Can we post similar links instead? Or is it because it's in a zip and noone can tell WHAT type of files are in is (as opposed to links to "raw" files themselves? It might be worth adding it to the board rules a-proper.

I'm sure it's not copyright, as the files are there, officially, for the taking, right?

EDIT: - Could anyone here send them to you, Burn, and, once vetted, they be hosted at this site, or the links given validation?

Big thanks, regardless!

Steve Jablonsky is really good at making chicken salad. You know how the rest of the saying goes

I daresay there's a hint of DiCola's Unicron theme in that last track. Might have to replay that turned up to 11 at some point to try and override any confirmation bias.

ScottyP wrote:Steve Jablonsky is really good at making chicken salad. You know how the rest of the saying goes

Actually, I don't I actually even tried looking it up to see if I could find the saying, but I'm fairly certain you weren't actually talking about recipes for good chicken salad, nor any of the multitudinous UrbanDictionary entries which are as rubbish as ever. I think I can get the meaning from context well enough, though

I daresay there's a hint of DiCola's Unicron theme in that last track. Might have to replay that turned up to 11 at some point to try and override any confirmation bias.

Nah, I agree with you too now that you mention it! Sounds almost exactly like DiCola's Unicron put through a "generic modern action movie" filter. The timing and approximate sounds of the drums, the humming background note... it's all there, more or less, except for the most iconic electronic bits.

As for whether I think it's any good, that's a different matter. Without trying to draw parallels to DiCola's score, this song in particular is extremely tedious and utterly forgettable. I don't frankly remember the score from the movie itself, but I'm sure most of the other tracks in here are much better - I just don't really have the time or the data allowance to listen to them all. Not every song can be a winner I suppose.

So I went ahead and remade the album art for the Transformers: The Last Knight Score. Hope you like it!

Nice!

Btw, I've no idea what the "chicken salad" reference was, either. Is it an Americanism?

Nah, bro. I'm 'Murican, and I never heard it until now.

I'm British, but I've been out of Blighty for a while so I'm not up to speed if it's from my Homeland.

Hmmm...

I think the members want you to do some vetting...I too would like to see that zip file made available, preferably in MP3.

So many razzies.... I kept warning them, 'Ditch Bay and everything to do with him', but would they listen?

I can honestly say it deserves most of these, although it's got some stiff competition.

Why do people get paid to be "critics"?

What credentials do thse guys or the tomato guys have that makes them qualified to read my mind on what type of movies I will or wont like?

I never understood why people follow these guys off a cliff like mindless zombies...must hate movie...critic guys say no good...feed me brains...smh

I liked all 5 Bay movies and all the new Star Wars movies....deal with it.

BTW: Whats the status on this? Can we at least get a link that can get us to the link? (With search instructions)

I can understand that this site is leaning on the safe side, but for those of us who can download stuff safely at least give us a path to the link...

The Last Knight should sweep the awards. It was a TERRIBLE movie IMO.

Indeed. It was bad, but some of these other ones are so much worse that it's gonna be tough for TLK to top their badness.

Yeah that's right, FUCK MICHAEL BAY, FUCK PARAMOUNT, FUCK THEASIANNATION AND FUCK EVERY LAST FAGGOT INVOLVED AND SUPPORTED THIS SHIT TURD!!!!!!!!

Others are worse, I am sure. But to me TLK was more dissapointing and failed at delivering what I was hoping to see. I dont think anyone expected aything from the EMOJI movie and Bay Watch had the hot actors in swimwear. But Transformers had very little Transformers (or transforming) and a very small aount of Optimus and an even smaller amount of evil Optimus, which made up the main marktting of the film. So while I dont know if all this makes it worse, it definitely makes it most dissapointing.

This seems like a good time to point out that the profanity filter doesn't work in article view.
