Transformers: The Last Knight Concept Art: Hot Rod, Barricade, giant Robot Snake

Um, there are two of the exact same destroyed knight images, and not a single Barricade image

Guess that kinda explains why Hot Rod has Lockdowns feet on his toy. Weird how they largely based him on Lockdown though. Guess it might have to do with the v-mode.

Cool concepts!
Hot Rod definitely has a Lockdown vibe with the helmet.
I lie the knights.
A snake-former is interesting,we don't have too many of those.

Would it transform into a robotic lawyer?

Not what I had in mind

The movies only had 7 Original Primes, not 13. Why does everyone forget that?

That article looks poorly written. I'll wait for Mcfeely to come and fix it all.

Which came first? The concept of the thirteen or rotf?

Source material? But... It's for the movie timeline an it's all wrong. It says the ark crashed on earth with bots and cons ala g1 continuity. Among many..... MANY other errors for the movie timeline. By all means say that's what the app says, but should have a disclaimer at the start that it doesn't match what is shown on screen

And now for our (seemingly) weekly release of Transformers: The Last Knight concept images! While the movie has been out of theaters for months now, the home release has been available since September, and most of the toyline has been sighted, the release of concept images continues aplenty. Take a look at these concepts for Hot Rod from Furio Tedeschi, and then some more Decepticon-centric concepts from James Paick.

In initial concepts such as this, Hot Rod is heavily based on Lockdown- being that they shared Lamborghini altmodes (though not of the same model, obviously), it was a good starting point. The image below shows us that Hot Rod originally had the name "Sidekick", or at least was referred to as a "sidekick". Either way, his body is quite similar to Lockdown's, with the various bits of Hot Rod's Lamborghini Centenario altmode incorporated into the concept. We can also see that his concept feet are also similar to Lockdown's, and given that Lockdown's toy was heavily retooled into Hot Rod's, it was easy enough to keep those without straying too far from the original.



Of special interest is the concept's head, shown below, which is a modified version of Lockdown's night vision helmet.



Now, from James Paick, we have an image of a Cybertronian ship of some sort-whether a piloted ship or perhaps a concept for a Transformer altmode isn't clear- but it is pretty sweet looking.



And finally, also from Mr. Paick, we have concept art of everyone's favorite warlord burning a human town to the ground- vestiges of which likely survived into the final movie as the "abandoned" town that Cade and the Autobots set their trap in and battled Megatron's crew.



What do you think of these latest images? Sound off in the Energon Pub and let us know!

actually two Cybertronian ships(one in the background, but of the same type)


y'know it's weird? coz had all these concepts been used in the film...we might've got a half decent movie out of it, instead of what they went with

Optimus was evil in the previous one! by wanting to kill people

Bumblebee did talk...kinda? was it not in the first one

One god damn person who was pretty much leading military teams to slaughter Autobots.

He also did not end up killing any human out of vengeance and the guy he did was to save Cade while he was also at the time fighting Lockdown.
