Via the official Transformers: The Last Knight Snapchat account, we have yet another look at what is probably going to become the 'mascot' figure of the live action movie - for better or for worse - in its digital render model, courtesy of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM). Check out Vespa-former Sqweeks below!

I'm not sure whether I really love this guy or really hate it.

He kinda reminds me of the old Disney movie 'the black hole' and a couple of the bots in it. Still looks like a minicon to me.

What bothers me... As with Every transformers movie CGI rendering to actual is... He looks battle damaged or scanned a junked scooter. When we see him in vehicle mode though... He'll be a shiny brand new looking Vespa or some crap. Even the twins in ROTF... For the brief second we saw them before they scanned the Chevy looked new. Where is the a 5 ttention to detail then? I'm tired of the car commercial movie. Show the dang cars with Battle damage... Won't hurt poor little (insert vehicle brand name here) image one bit. :-x You endorse a Bay movie for product placement... You get the Bay treatment and not the we're kissing your keister treatment that has become the norm.

An in-universe explanation for that was given years ago saying that the altmodes' disguising tech projects imagery of the altmodes in pristine condition to help in their hiding the robot inside.

Not the best reason but it's better than Optimus having to say "General Motors forbids our vehicle modes from ever looking dirty."

This^ I'd imagine car companies are very particular about how they cars look to potential customers and will want them to look as attractive as possible. Personally I just accept it as it is and roll with it.

...what?

Yeah, what he said. Though in all seriousness, maybe opt-optimus is thinking that the release of pictures from the film sets is just a marketing campaign. In a way he's right but it's something every movie does.

I didn't know that filming coverage was something most movies use as a promotion to their films. Seeing pictures photographed by Bay, Isabella Moner, and filming staff on location will level up the interest in the movie. How do I know? Because no matter how I felt after Age of Extinction, curiosity will get the best of me and I'm probably going to see it in theaters. :BANG_HEAD:

Probably because he looks inspired from a Mini-Con. (Hint): Fixit Speaking of Mini-Cons, what if there are Mini-Cons in this film and they all have that partnership/hidden weapon gimmick like Armada?

Fellow Seibertronians, I know you might be hungry, maybe even starving by now, for some more Transformers 5 news. Well, while we all wait for our main course of character reveals, set pictures, and more cast announcements, snack on this; A video served hot to us by user OptimalOptimus2.

Awesome! :D I wonder if he'll have a mini-con or whatever Frenzy is classified as. Maybe he'll have Rumble! :CON:

Barricade is definitely looking sharp! :CON:

While I might not go see the movie in theaters this time (depends on the reviews and hearsay), I'll definitely have to get me a new Barricade toy!

The old movie toy Barricade's robot mode looks like crap (except HA....maybe), but sports a great alt mode in all the versions. Hope this one will come up much better.

He looks a bit more bluish than before...

I wouldn't depend on reviews and another person opinion on movie you won't know you like something unless you try it for self are you going to take someone review on basic pizza that you never had before instead of smelling, tasting it for your self people disagree with critics more than you know if people listened to critics transformer 4&5 would not have made billion at box office.

You can very easily listen to, agree with and understand a critic's opinion and where they're coming from without mindlessly saying yes to every word. Especially when we have four movies of experience.
