Coming hot off the heels of the Red Knight piece reported on earlier today, we now have a gallery's worth of concept art for Transformers The Last Knight, coming from three artists, sent to us by two Seibertronians, Deadput and IAPETUS_PRIME. The first work is of Barricade, from Josh Nizzi's instagram, who does look quite similar to the final version of his character art, but there are some subtle differences, like his head. Here's Josh's caption.
#barricade from #transformersthelastknight. ILM ended up putting a different head on him later on.

ILM of course referencing the famous effects studio, Industrial Light and Magic.

The next set comes from artist Thomas Pringle, mainly, with some collaboration pieces with Furio Tedeschi. They depict scenery, such as a sunken shark-looking robot, as well as various ships and fuori terra backdrops, as well as a detailed look at Megatron's alt mode. Check the staggering amount of images mirrored below.

An exclusive article from Variety tells that Paramount's film financing partner Huahua, a media company based in China, is angry at "losing tens of millions of dollars on a $1 billion slate-financing deal with Paramount Pictures".

The anonymous source, close to Huahua, says the following in the article:

We have incurred losses for the first months of the current year. These are not trivial losses; they are huge losses.


Viacom needs to explain a better plan for how it spends [our] investment money


This has prompted Viacom (the owner of Parmount) executives to visit China in hope to reassure Huahua.

The article specifically highlights Transformers: The Last Knight as a major factor in the current distress, here is another quote from the article:

The company was particularly incensed that the most recent “Transformers” did not perform better in China. The film made nearly $230 million in the Middle Kingdom, but that was a significant drop-off from the $320 million earned by its predecessor, “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” in 2014.

Me as well in fact I thought of a way to use both designs that would of made people happy.

The concept art up there would be the actual Barricade

Image


While the one used in the film would become Barricade's Vehicon squad which would be kind of like a real life police squad and there would be around 6-8 of them in the movie...they would be cannon fodder but they would be awesome while being so. and would probably be a reason to have some of the Decepticons survive the movie or at least last until the final battle unlike what happened to them in the movie.

Image

As you can see by the art alone there is some differences between the two designs besides the heads for example Barricade is black and white while the Vehicons would be blue and white, the arm guns are different as well...also if this was my movie only Barricade would have knuckledusters and Barricade would keep his old "To punish and enslave" motto while the Vehicons would have "Keep calm and hail Megatron" that was on Barricade's car later in the film.

Huh while making this post I just noticed the revamped concept art has the rear view being the same colors and design (gun arm) as the first version Josh did but it has the new head.

I personally think its because Paramount was relying on this Transformers film to balance out the year's losses so far. So not only did its own budget need to be met, but previous losses too. And as of now, it has barely made back its budget in terms of revenue Paramount is actually getting.

It's franchise fatigue...the movies being mediocre just sped up the process that's finally starting to catch up with marvel films like look how Spiderman is doing.

I don't think the movies becoming "great" is going to help much...the awe factor that was around for 2007 and Rotf for Transformers movies being a new and big thing is gone so if a reboot happens all that's really going to happen is.

"Oh hey look another Transformers movie"

When was the last time people got excited for reboots again?

Furio uploaded another angle of the Knight helmet we have seen before so while nothing exciting it's something and I rather get a whole lot of concept art that might be a little repetitive then barely anything that leaves me wanting more.

I like how the eyes look though.

Yeah the Galvatron and Prime on the poseter are very likely placeholders.

I recognize that Galvatron as a fan made render and the Optimus is from some fan art I think

I honestly think if they took a few years off and did something with a better director they could pull it off.

There is one thing that saddens me about all of this. Are the movies good...No they are not. Well I probably give them more credit than most, but I cant deny they are a mess, especially this latest one...

Still there are internet trolls everywhere celebrating the *death* of this franchise. Its not that they want a fresh take on Transformers, they legitimately want it to go away, forever, and sad to say, I can see this happening.

Most fans hope, maybe this will get Paramount to rethink things and start over. But remember, this film franchise is only a decade old. Its more likely to cease completely, which makes me sad.

The Chinese ain't the only ones that are disappointed. The Last Knight did a good deal worse then was expected financially, and it was projected to be one of the lowest of the franchise. Also, they invested 1 BILLION DOLLARS. That's not a little bit of money. I'd say they have the right to be a bit so-called 'whiney'. If I loaned someone a billion dollars, I'd be pissy too if I didn't get it back.

This is unfortunately very true. I've seen it all over the place. People wanting the franchise to go away. However, the movies are all they see. The franchise goes further beyond the movies. The shows and to a much lesser degree, the comics, often have to ride on the success of these movies. If the movie franchise goes away, along with the audience they have and bring, I think it may signal the decline of the entire brand.

I like hearing good news about Transformers, but I make no secret of the fact that I don't think much of the 'Bayverse' films. They're too formulaic for my taste, too predictable. Bay has a number of gimmicks that he's known for in his movies, and for Transformers in particular he seems to be going through a playbook step by step. And in the most recent movie, they put more emphasis on camera movement and rotation than on good writing. Just being in an IMAX theater doesn't mean people will like it.

And what's the deal with having the actors either screaming at the top of their lungs, or mumbling/muttering so low under their breath, that you can't understand a word they're saying? It isn't just Transformers doing that either, it's in lots of films and TV shows. It's like the writers gave up on having the characters actually saying anything and just have them mumble to cover up the fact that what they're saying really isn't very interesting.

To be fair this has kind of been happening forever...it's just been happening more lately.

I have sensitive ears (my definition of loud noise is probably more then other people's) and while I can hear the "noise" well enough I still have trouble understanding what words are being said sometimes and the biggest problem?

The damn music is always louder then anything else...thank god for the video games that allow me turn down the music a bunch and raise the voices.

I also don't think it's a writers thing most of the time it's either on the Actors making stuff up that isn't in the script to begin with or a director telling the actors to say other things.

Hopefully this doesn't come across as me telling you guys on how to do your job but instead of making a post everyday about a couple bits of art I would wait about a week and then make a big post with everything in it that way more people will notice the post and it won't clutter up the main page and it will be easier for people to find these in the future instead of going through post after post to find a couple of specific pieces.

I talked to Josh Nizzi briefly and I know he is going to upload other stuff like for example the prison Decepticons and Josh seems to be going on a "upload one a day" schedule...I did suggest for him to do that in the comments for the WW2 Bumblebee post so it would generate hype.

Appreciate the imput, Deadput, that's a good idea. I don't think any of us expected this much, so that might be what we do going forward, if this keeps up.

I mean I doubt I made him make that decision but it probably made him confirm his choice was the right one.

But yeah I'll continue to post the concept art here as they come. (Unless someone beats me to the punch because I'm sleeping or doing out doing things)

Because business people, Transformers wasn't as big as Star Wars or Marvel and it hasn't been around as long so it did not have the luxury of having as many fans in that span of time.

Back in G1 Mr Donald Glut was a writer on the G1 cartoon who had this to say about the G1 show. (according to the wiki)

Donald Glut wrote:"No one, not even the story editors, looked at these scripts very carefully. I seem to remember the show being on a really tight schedule, and we had to crank these scripts out fast. I wrote some of them in a single day, first draft, and they went almost immediately to the storyboard artists after Bryce or an assistant gave them a rather cursory read. We were not trying to create art, just get them done fast, and get paid... None of the writing on this series, in my opinion, was good or passionate or, sometimes (my own included, like The Autobot Run) even adequate. But we got paid well for writing them fast.... I was never a fan of any of the characters."


About Soundwave's death what are you expecting some sort of reaction from the Decepticons like "Noooo Soundwave!" right on the battlefield?

Movie wise outside of the main couple villains the Decepticons will never be treated in the same fashon as the Autobots heck look at Marvel and how many of their villains...suck and are killed off in the same movie their introduced and if not then the next movie their in.

Outside of Star wars and if you count horror movies villains don't really sell.

From what I heard years ago specifically for teenage boys at least back around ROTF. (The Marvel films while not as crude are also guilty of these things like have you guys seen the Guardians of the Galaxy film especially the new one with not even just innuendos but also rather blunt straight to the point jokes?)

Not exactly wrong either since Teenagers of my generation were rather...uh "crazy" even in middle school so the films should be up their alley.

And why make a robot action film if it has boring uninteresting action we see in other movies? It's robots man ya gotta go all out or go home!

Well most kids I know who are transformers fans are fans due to the movies. and of course the movies are for kids, like most parents from what iv gathered and seen don't care what games or movies their kids play/watch. so even if the tf movies don't seem like their safe for kids. their parents will most likely still bring them to see the movies. again from what I gathered and seen and younger tf fans I met love the movies. Also I do notice the bayformer toys are shelf-warmers, but do you know who is not a shelf-warmer and I never seem to be able to find in Wal-Mart is bumblebee...

Are kids really buying movie toys? Is there anyway to tell? They seem to be constantly in stock at my local stores, while generations are sold out.

All Transformers lines have their heavy shelfwarmers not just movie. As stated elsewhere there's TONS of Titans Returns stuff clogging up shelves including those at my nearest toy stores. So many Wave 3 deluxe TR figures (mostly Hot Rod, Twinferno and Triggerhappy), still a lot of Blurr and Scourge from earlier waves and lots of Broadsides, Megatrons and Optimus Primes and small Legends stuff lke Bumblebee, Wheelie (so many Wheelies) and Stripes. A lot of RID stuff such as Deployers on shelves too. And until recently a crapload of Combiner Wars figures were shelfwarming like crazy too (particularly the Deluxes like Wheeljack, Prowl and Smokescreen and Voyagers such as Cyclonus, Scattershot and Onslaught and a lot of Legends class Wreck Gars and Skywarps)

CW Devy didn't show up anywhere here. I only have one because I ordered it from BBTS.

The only place any CW set showed up was at clearance at TJMaxx/Marshalls, and even then the only one I ever saw was Menasor.

Not going to see TF'17 until it comes out on tv on FX or Spike :D or I can borrow DVD from the library. Seen too many reviewers on Youtube having barely anything good to say about it. I'm not being influence by reviewers; paid my cinema money. :SICK: :-x Except for TF'07, regretted paying every penny used to watch them.
BTW, went to see TF'07 twice.

Nice posters.

Offtopic:

To bad only Bumblebee had some time in the movie. Barely Megatron, practically no Hound and no Optimus.

Anybody else feel like that's false advertising?

They should've had posters of Mark, Sir Hopkins, T*ts and *ss lady, Cogman and Bumblebee only. Because those are the characters you're going to see in the movie.

Yes, eat that movie making company. Hope those guys are angry, they should be angry at themselves. For making such a terrible movie and thinking everyone's going to eat it 3 times in cinemas and go crazy about it.

I hope they learn, kick Bay of the team, start anew years later.

And quit with the, Transformers have been around longer than you think, conveluted nonsense. Just quit it.

Yup stat anew a couple years later and watch this exact situation happen again!

I don't think there is a magic director who will redeem the movies...partially because no one else really wants to touch this franchise now with the reputation it has and also because Hasbro can make some dumb decisions sometimes when it tries to be more then a toy company.

Well their all just names made up for the toyline anyways.

All the designs are reused at least once or twice for other Knights...even the red knight is just an edited one with unique shoulders and colors.

The Pringles man uploaded another piece...this time it's Megatron looking at the "ship" that Bee and Prime fight on.

Presumbly this happens Right before he and Nitro Zeus attack Optimus and steal the staff...
which probably means that they were watching the battle which is how they knew Optimus was freed from evil so soon.

Wesley Burt who uploaded the art for Canopy when he was a train and the uh nightmarish Daytrader face has uploaded some more art this time it's an early concept for "Bulldog" the old tank guard from Burton's castle that used to be a duo!

Now that Spain and Japan - the last two countries - have also seen the release of Transformers: The Last Knight, even more concept art is making its way to social media from the creators of the concepts for the movie (used or unused, of course). This small round-up collects Furio Tedeschi, Thomas Pringle, and Wes Burt, as they show off some more scenery such as Merlin's Tomb, concepts for Bulldog and the inspiration, and one of the knights who is totally not Dragonicus from leader Dragonstorm. Check it all out below!

I was just heading to sleep but I'm pleasantly surprised to see this roundup post thanks for putting it together Va'al!

Regardless of we think of the movies or their looks I don't think we can deny the hard work, effort and creativity that goes into making these movie's.
