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

I dunno, I personally feel like adding more stuff to TLK would've been the exact wrong direction to go with it. I found the movie insanely overcrowded already in terms of plot points, characters, and design. (Hey they're knights! Also Optimus is evil! New Suicide Squad Decepticons that immediately live up to their name! French robot! Mark Wahlberg is the last whatever! Bumblebee can't talk but now he can! Transformers were created by a shiny metal lady who wants to kill Earth! By the way Earth is Unicron! ...etcetera.)
If there's one thing these movies tend to do right already, it's their stunning visual effects. Not always effects that convey any kind of narrative, nor even necessarily ones that have anything to do with the accepted aesthetic of Transformers as a whole, but stunning nonetheless. I totally agree that it would've been cool to see some of these in fully-rendered "live-action" motion, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it would've been beneficial to the overall quality of The Last Knight.
Besides, we all know that had these concepts been in the movie after all, they would've shown up for 3 frames before being engulfed in pyrotechnic insanity

You remember correctly, Bumblebee totally talked in the first movie, and I always thought it was implied that he simply chose not to in the following movies. Of course as we're all well aware by this point the Transformers movies play very fast and loose with the idea of canon, or continuity between films, heck, even continuity within films seems like it's pushing the boundaries of what can be expected (still looking at you TLK).
Regardless, those events occurring in previous movies doesn't change the fact that they happened again in this one - and they're arguably even more egregious for it. I stand by my assessment that TLK had waaaay too much going on, even if some of it was semi-familiar.

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.

Not only that, but then melting down Autobot corpses in order to build his own transformers. Honestly, in a non combat situation, I'm not even convinced Prime would have killed Fraiser (sorry, I can't remember the character name right now). A dDecepticon? Sure. But a human? If it wasn't a matter of saving Cade's life, I think Prime may not have. After all, look at him earlier in the film. Yes, he swore he would kill the guy, but he was emotional then. Angry. He just saw one of his best friends being melted down. Desecrating his corpse. Of course he was going to be angry. But later, when he had cooled down and escaped Lockdown's ship? He was all prepared to just leave the planet. Not hunt the guy down, just leave it be.

So I finally saw TLK a couple weeks ago when it came out on DVD, and what an awful film. It's excruciatingly long, but it doesn't feel like it goes anywhere. It's just a bunch of scenes sewn together that don't have enough of an over-arching storyline to hold on to.
Also, what was the point of the baby Dinobots? It's never explained how they got there (did the bigger Dinobots reproduce? That just opens a whole new can of worms), and they don't have any big pay off moment where they're important later on in the movie. You can't even say they were a BB-8-style cashgrab for the "Cute" characters because they didn't make any fricking merchandise for them! No toys, no plush, nothing. Urgghhh.
I really dislike this movie.

the cybertronian ship kinda reminds me of the alt mode of Megatron in Transformers Prime. The wings and even the block gun thing i think in the middle. but then there is a second one so it throws the thought out the window

Even though it's been almost half a year since Transformers 5 The Last Knight hit theaters, related news is still being broken! Today's piece comes from one of Tom's concept artists, Wes Burt. Over on his instagram page he's shared some new concepts of what would become Daytrader's ship. Even though we never saw it in The film, it's still fascinating to see some behind The scenes work. The designs are actually surprisingly varied, and it's interesting to see the different directions this unused idea could have gone. In one design in particular, Burt pulls inspiration from classic American cars, sighting different makes and models for different finishes and details. Check all seven designs out below, and click on any of them to be taken to his instagram!

I was wonderin' how he got around so fast and where he kept his scrap. Now we know. Too bad they didn't show his ship, that woulda been pretty neat, especially if they went with the first design.

It's a little late to be 'promoting' TLK isn't it? The movie went in and out of theaters, and it's been on DVD for a few weeks. Seems to me the ship set sail a long time ago. Unless of course, they're trying to lure people into buying all the TLK figures that they made too much of...

We had reported on Takara Tomy's presence at Tokyo Comic Con 2017, and their Transformers promotion for The Last Knight's home release (due in Japan on 13th December) back here - and we now have some extra images from the event that took place on the main stage!
The event took place at the Main Stage area and featured a guest performance by musician/comedian Junichi Davidson, along with some toy showing off, what looks like some singing and a transformation contest (perhaps), according to Japanese movie news website eiga.com. Snuck in with all the promotion, Takara also showed off a Gold Version of the Optimus Prime figure from the movie's toyline, to accompany the likes of the Golden Vector Shield and the Clear Voyager Optimus available in the country with the BluRay released of the film. Check out some images below!

Furio Tedeschi has posted a gallery of concept art on his website. The characters featured in his work are Optimus Primal, Sqweeks, Quintessa and HotRod. It is interesting to see how some of these characters differ from their looks in the movie. Most notibly Hotrod being called Sidekick (Probably a pre-production name) and being colored black or green when we know he looks completely different in the movie.
There are also some nice pieces to help build the world these characters live in such as the knights and statues. You can tell by looking over the pictures in this set how well all of these things create an environment that feels truly epic. One of the coolest features in the gallery is the up close look at all of the detailed swords in the movie, including Excalibur.
If you enjoy Furio Tedeschi's Artwork, we reccomend having a look at his concept art of Barricade and the Giant Robot Snake.

In our coverage of the events from Tokyo Comic Con 2017, we included images of the main stage with the Takara Tomy promotional celebration of Transformers: The Last Knight, with its home release hitting Japanese retail next week - as you can see here, the stage hosted both comedian Junichi Davidson (wearing the G1 art t-shirt) and music artist Okazaki Taiiku / Physical Education.
The latter was apparently involved in launching his latest single, a collaboration between the artist and the Transformers franchise, titled Emblem. This is not the first song connected to the movie, as Torches received both the Chinese release treatment with a cover by Zhang Jie and the original version in the trailer from X Ambassadors, as well as Steve Jablonsky and Celldweller working on the score. The track, which you can find on iTunes here, or check out a sample below, is closer to the style of the latter as you'll see - give it a listen!

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.

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!

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.
