[griftimus prime]

i would love toys of that tank duo.

[Randomhero]

My first thought when I saw this image was movieverse Rack N' Ruin.

Kinda like when they revealed Hod rod and everyone said "Thats hot rod!"

They're movie characters. You can look at any duo and say they look like anyone you want. You can look at them and say rumble and frenzy, topspin and twin twist, anyone can fill the bill.

Well, maybe not Frenzy and Rumble. Probably not Topspin or Twintwist as well.

Though, the tank bot on the right has his arms in the design of Rumble's piledrivers...

I don't think so. Rack n' Ruin came to my mind because even though these two aren't conjoined in robot mode they do look like they could possibhly merge together for tank mode (assuming they don't form individual tanks, i know it looks like both have treads but it does sorta look like the right one could form the base of the tank and the left one form the top and turret) and their rough, army look brings to mind those simple badass green Wreckers (at least from Marvel, I can't recall much about them from the IDW stuff). I certainly don't see Rumble/Frenzy or Topspin/Twintwist here at all. Besides, one of each of those pairs has already been in the movies. I'm not saying these could definitely be Rack N' Ruin, but if names were needed that homaged G1 characters in any sorta sense then that would be my first choice. Some movie characters are meant to be recognisable as movieverse equivalents of their G1 counterparts like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee and other movie characters come across as all new ones that just share the name of a G1 character if nothing else. Doesn't make them a bad character at all, and in a lot of cases I prefer the movie character with that name. The Sideswipes only really share a name and the fact they are autobot cars but as much as I loved red lambos when I was a kid, I much prefer the movie character Sideswipe. I just think he's more fun and generally cooler.

The one on the left turns into an American tank, the one on the right turns into a British tank. They aren't twins, just allies.

Edit: I'm wrong; both are British.

As awful as TLK was I will always appreciate the level of thought and imagination that goes into the concept art. I wish these people were given actually decent material/scriptwriters to work with because these concepts are great. Especially the tank twins.

Yeah, IIRC their movie stuff was pretty sweet. Me and a friend were discussing recently that it'd be neat if some of the better elements of the movies got added to IDW G1, Specificaly Nitro Zeus, who seriously needs some expansion. The fact we got a Decepticon who had an actual personality (obnoxious blowhard chatterbox) and NOT just a "hurr durr I break stuff" brute, from the MOVIES of all things, is a sign that gold was struck and tossed aside because these people don't know a good idea when they see one.

Speaking of which, am I the only one who thinks "Dreadbot" should have been named "Cruellock"? It's an awesome name, it already exists in Transformers, AND it works for the rather unimaginative "Well, uh, he has dreadlocks so let's name him after that" theme they were running with. Sure he did absolutely nothing but I'd much rather have heard Frank Welker say "Cruellock" in that awesome growl than "Dreadbot".

Yes to everything you just said

I'm awake now which means more concept art time!

[Optimus Prime13th]

I know this is completely of topic but here's a fun theory. What if Quintus Prime was the true manipulator of the primes not Maximo. Yes Maximo betrayed the primes with his war beast, but Quintus helped him make them. When Megatronus killed Solus by accident thanks to Maximo's tampering, Quintus was the first to jump to the conclusion of hunting Maximo down. When confronted Maximo made it clear that Quintus helped him create the beast but Quintus would not take responsibility. With Maximo out of the way and the Primes splinted he left Cybertron to seed other worlds with life through the ember stone. After he left Cybertron, the Covenant of Primus states that he was never heard from again once he created the Quintessons who possibly killed their creator when they no longer needed him. It never truly says they killed him though so he could be out their still. It seems a little fishy to me that once Cybertron is technically defenseless without the Primes his creations invade Cybertron to enslave it and its people. Deep down I believe that Quintus was the true betrayer because he was able to splinter the Primes by pulling Maximos strings without him even knowing it. The only reason this whole theory came up is because of transformers the last knights Quintessa the great deceiver who is kind of based on Quintus so who is to say if Quintus Prime father of the Quintessons was not the true great deceiver in Transformers aligned continuity

Sir this is the Last Knight discussion thread not the aligned discussion thread.

I'd like to ask you to please kindly redirect your post to the Transformers Prime thread.

Josh has revealed his design for "Bulldog" although the art here just like Barricade has a differen't head then the film

https://www.instagram.com/p/BXlHemJjJzX/?taken-by=joshnizzi.art



This is the head design in the movie.

[Deadput]

More bot art today from Wes Burt this time it's Mohawk and although the design is final here Mohawk is looking less colorful then he does in the movie. Edit: looked at a screenshot of him and the colors that I was talking about is green spray paint on him so I guess this is what he looks like without it.

Shame we did not see his knife fight with Drift like this old concept art from James Piack shows.

[Deadput]

James Paick uploaded this cool shot of Megatron in jet mode from scenes that did not make it in the movie.

Jeez what kind of hell happend behind the scenes that so much stuff was edited or thought out poorly?

Bayhem?

Heh yeah probably

Shame though...I like the movie I really do but the lack of control is disastrous and very unprofessional from Paramount, to Bay, to god damn Lorenzo to Hasbro...it doesn't help that the writers were just throwing crap in for the sake of throwing crap in like with Anthony Hopkings and the butler from Downton Abbey.

What was the point of the writer's room?

[Deadput]

Ya know...Warpath almost was in the movie but he decided he didn't feel like being a half a minute cameo so he called up his deadbeat uncle Bulldog to take his place

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Seibertronian Deadput has been keeping up with the concept arts that have been posted from Transformers: The Last Knight, and we have several new pieces to show off to you today.

First up is some art of Bulldog, the World War I tank bot seen firing on Bumblebee in a moment of "robot dementia" during the hero's first arrival at Burton's castle. The first piece shows his original head, while the second shows the actual head used. This work was shown off by Josh Nizzi.

Up next is some Mohawk art. These pieces were posted by Wesley Burt, and one of the pieces shows that Drift and Mohawk may have been intended to have a sword fight!

Third on the list is art from James Paick showing Megatron in jet mode flying through Paris, complete with a drone ship being shot down.

And finally, we have additional art from Josh Nizzi showing off designs for another character based on the World War I tank design, this time complete with chest cannon to resemble a movie Warpath!

Check out all the art below, and let us know what you think of it in the comments section below!

[Evil Eye]

Bulldog looks great, as does Warpath. Though it's interesting that Warpath seems to turn into a German tank judging by his kibble and pickelhaube helmet. Mohawk is cool too, though I'm disappointed we barely got to see anything of him in the movie. Baffling too considering he's the only entirely original CG model out of Megatron's liberated crew (Onslaught, Berserker, Dreadbot and Nitro Zeus are all tweaks of existing models).

Well at the very least He was still talking when Bee shot him so he might be alive assuming no one went back and shot his blabbering head

[Deadput]

Furio uploaded art of a character that would end up becoming Hot Rod...he has Lockdown inspirations in the design and he says he will upload the full body soon. In my head canon movie universe I'm repurposing this design as movie Axor

Edit: Just letting you know but you credit Wes Burt for the picture of Mohawk vs Drift but that was actually made by James Paick (his name is on the picture too!) who uploade other scene frames as well.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

In today's roundup of Transformers: The Last Knight concept art, we have 2 artists contributing 19 pieces of work for us to view. Up first is artist Furio Tedeschi, who posted a piece of art for a character called "Side Kick," who would eventually become Hot Rod. The concept art shows that the resemblance to Lockdown was going to be even stronger in this original shot.

And then we have James Paick, who once again dazzles us with his scenery concept art, including many shots of Unicron as his horns pierce the Earth's outer core. Also included are some pieces of Cybertron.

Check them out, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
