YES! Love the new Camaro, can't wait for the deluxe figure!

Now we just need to see Bee in his robot mode. . .

As if they'd leave Bumblebee out. :) Liking the new Camaro form. Interested to see how his robot form adjusts. Wasn't sure about the AoE robot form cos it was so different to his previous but I really love it now and my custom painted version of the Deluxe figure is among my fave TF figures ever.

Not a bad car mode. It's not as easily visible from the angle of the photo, but the black stripe does remain on the hood and the roof.

IKR! After I painted my AOE Bee up he looks absolutely amazing. I even used the clips off of some yellow mechanical pencils to form the claws on his plasma cannon.

rather have hound back, and Drift, and crosshairs.. but really, would rather have Ratchet and Ironhide back,because they died in a very sad and unnecessary way. I do see that random death does take the best of us... but Ratchets death was the most brutal I think, next to leadfoot.

Don't worry by next month we should know if they are coming back or not and I heavily belive that Hound at the least will be back due to being more involved in Aoe then Bumblebee (no seriously I believe Hound had at least as much screen time as Bumblebee).


Remember that one of the first pieces of news for AOE was the alt modes of Optimus, Drift and Crosshairs hell shortly after we found out that Hound was going to be in the movie and unlike with Drift and Crosshairs Hound's name was revealed from the get go and since he was the only other Autobot in the film besides Bee and Prime to heavily interact with Humans and be called by name by the humans show that Hound was probably planned to be in the movie for a long time.

Via the Facebook page/community Transformers Cars, we have a look at a military vehicle which closely resembles Hound from Age of Extinction - though a little more trim. Indication that this may be a new alt-mode for the John Goodman character in The Last Knight come from the logo on the side of the vehicle, and the Decepticon-esque badges on the door. Check them out below, and speculate away in the Energon Pub!

I bet that the decepticon marks are how Hound keeps count of how many cons he killed during the war, only excuse I can think of.

Not a really drastic change is it really but I like it.

Also beards have been part of transformers since G1 so it's far too late to complain about it now.

If I recall correctly, putting on scratched-out symbols of your enemy to signify how many you've killed is a thing in some military installations. It was the reasoning behind the first Titanium Megatron having three Autobot symbols.

First thing I thought of when I saw this, and it does seem like a very Movie Hound thing to do.

I would have been disappointed if my favorite scene stealing "fat ballerina" didn't return. I just hope he doesn't get killed off. It would be nice to have a new core group of at least OP, Bee, and Hound.

Kinda neat having a non-medic character turn into a medic vehicle; no need for that to line up 100% of the time.

I'm just happy to have more recurring TFs - killing off the portly, bearded, gregarious gun-nut Leadfoot between DotM and AoE only to be replaced by the portly, bearded, gregarious gun-nut Hound seemed like a bit of a waste. (I suppose we could also match up Crosshairs to Sideswipe, and Drift to Dino/Mirage).

Well, at least the characters are getting somewhat new alt-modes. Guess Hasbro learned that designing the same character design is a little boring. Bumblebee being confirmed to come back isn't exactly a confirmation. Everybody knows that Bumblebee is an immortal Autobot that just keeps reappearing no matter what. Let the hive of Bee toys release!

No. I figure the irony, much like Blades, is very intentional. Still tickles me though.

Well someone needs to fill in Ratchet's role Crosshairs would probably be too lazy, no one would trust an ex Decepticon like Drift to repair them and Bumblebee is Bumblebee.


I feel like if Hound did become a medic it's because no one else wants too.

The top claw actually clips in nicely, the bottom one falls out if you look at it funny :BANG_HEAD:
Not entirely accurate (as Bee's cannon in AOE is under his hand, not replacing it), but I still think it works

Bee's new alt mode is really cool looking. Yet another awesome Camaro!

Glad to see Hounds back, loved that guy in AoE, was afraid he would die at the end of the movie.

His toy was great too, hoping for another great figure :PRAY:

John Turturro, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, and now Anthony Hopkins gets on the "Bayformers" train.

Don't expect he'll have any more luck than they did keeping that train from getting wrecked.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Personally, I stopped watching after DotM, but, yeah, if you're someone who does enjoy these movies, Anthony Hopkins getting added to the cast is pretty cool.

Maybe he's Tarn. Enjoying making someone put their own brain in their mouth is something he and Hannibal Lecter have in common.

Norwegian photographer Fredrik Naumann has stumbled across some shooting for Transformers: The Last Knight in Arizona (where we found the potentially Hound-like character yesterday). You can check out a convoy of vehicles below, in what seems to be a gathering of both Decepticons and Autobots - including Barricade and Bumblebee - and possibly Josh Duhamel too!

On location of the movie "Transformers 5 The Last Knight" , E7, being filmed near Theodore Roosevelt Dam in Arizona. The film has just started filming and further filming will take place in locations like Detroit, Ireland, Great Britan and Iceland.

If it is Barricade, he'd be the first Movie character since Megatron to die in one movie and come back to life in a later one.

But as far as these images are concerned, I can't make out any Decepticon police badge symbols on the patrol car, so for all we know it could just be a regular police car.

I think I see Walhberg driving the one truck, and I was trying so hard to see if that was a regular police car, but I can't tell. Looks a bit too fancy to not be a transformer, but precedence has been set before for confusion :MAXIMAL:

Who's to say that is actually Barricade who's alive? They could be pulling a Mech, found his body, stole from KSI and are utilizing Barricade's Body. I know the argument for the biker could that it is a pretender, but I'm sure there are groups of people who would use the Decepticon name/logo for their own devices.

And it does say "To punish and enslave" on the side of the Police car. I compared the spelling to another famous saying we all know "To protect and serve" as that would appear on the Autobot Police Car - Prowl.

I have a feeling that scene may be similar to the Shanghai scene in ROTF. Bumblebee and Hound with human help hunting down Barricade (maybe he survived or was rebuilt by KSI before AOE?) and hippietron (that's what I'm naming that VW van)

You don't actually see Barricade die in Dark of the moon, but, if this is him in the picture is it possible could the motrocycle be Rumble?
