Transformers: The Last Knight Disc Home Release Debuts at Number 1 in US

Not bad for a movie that critics and movie goers slammed to no end. Its quite clear now there are 2 seperate crowds. I thought it was an awesome movie.

I literally only bought it for the complete Combiner Wars special feature. My daughter put the movie on and left to play after about 15 minutes saying "Oh, it's that one."

I wanted to get the combiner wars footage but I dont do blue-ray. Its just a scam to revive dying disc sales in a world of netflix and other means to watch (or get hold of) a digital copy. Ill just grab Combiner Wars from one of those outlets. I just bought the good ol DVD for now.

On the movie itself, I feel it follows along the same lines as the first 4 movies. The only real difference from the earlier movies is you get more robot footage which is a good thing. I understand there will always be what I like to call the "rotten tomatoes" crowd who let paid movie reviewers make up their minds for them. Those are usually the people who claim to know what "acting" is or isnt based on personal opinions. I tend to focus more on action sequences and CGI graphics rather than what the human actors do or say in the movie. Ive tried to watch movies hailed for "good acting" or "great screen writing" and I usually fall asleep. Everybody hated the 2nd trilogy of star wars films but I loved them more than the original trilogy. Gone were stupid jim henson puppets replaced by awesome CGI renditions of alien characters. Gone were those lame, over-rated "Luke I am your father" moments replaced by cool action sequences that dont resemble a soap opera. Im not saying the Transformers franchise will ever top Star Wars but in franchise longevity it comes very close.

Well I like it. I like all the movies. I don't think anything will ever top G1 for me, but I never gone by what critics say. I'm an action flick junkie. High drama is BOORRRRRRINGGGGG. Gimme explosions and lasers any day!

I'm getting tbe blu ray but have zero interest in the combiner wars thing (I was barely even interested in that toy line). I just want those lovely complex movie bots in HD (but not ultra HD cos it'll be a while before I get a 4KTV despite owning a PS4 Pro). The TF movies are my absolute fave excuse for high definition.

I'm hoping for not serious.

The one thing about this movie that actually makes me angry was the Bee/Nemesis fight. The whole thing was in the previews! I was so looking forward to it and it's sad to me that it was entirely spoiled and actually came off better in the trailers.

Other than that, I feel fairly neutral on it.

That's something you kinda have to blame on advertising -- and it's unfortunately pretty common these days.

That, and the fact that they out-Martha-d Batman V Superman.

Oh im dead serious...

When I get in science fiction mode, I want to see cool CGI graphics and plenty of action.


When I want to see "acting" Ill watch Scarface.

What was the last time you really had great acting and really great CGI graphics in the same film? Independence Day?

I think people dont give the Bayformers franchise the credit it deserves. Same thing for the 2nd star wars trilogy.

People get mad because their favorite actor wasnt chosen. Or because their favorite character didnt get a memorable quote or moment. All that talk about bad acting or bad storylines is 99% haters.

glad this memeber gets it like movie or not at least its your opionion you judge for your self if you like movie not by going what strangers say tell you what to see that do not know you as person critics are crap critics like movies blade runner sequel adn the movie the revenant the revenant was long boring i almost fell sleep through that but that movie won awards, and blade runner seuquel i never saw first one my father has and liked it i fell sleep through first half of movie end half blad erunner seueql was oke but it confused my father adn the blasted music soundtrack in blade runner sequel was dang loud it was first movie that gave me headache after i left theater music was loud i couldnt hear soundeffects in movie itself,.

i like transformers series but some movies in seres not as good as first one and some sequels i like revnege of fallen had chance see movie combiner and last knight cog man, hotrod, adn unicron what made me like movie but trasnfromers series are no differnt from comics and cartoons and superhero movies they are all same superhero movies humans stop villians trasnfromers good bots stop bad bots from taking over universe and planet earth same thing all time with difernt characters i will be lokoing foward to bumlbee movie and will see it in theaters as movie and trasnformer fan alike i will pass judgement on solo movie after i view it if i like it or not not by stranger critics opinion on movie who does not know me as person

Wonder if this means we will get an extended edition. As for spoilers being revealed before the film's release, I feel that the movie didn't spoil too much of the film's events (even if everyone knew how everything would play out). Not like how others came and went in different film franchises (looking at you, Mr. Hey Everyone).

As for what Rated X said, let the guy like what he likes. Everyone's mileage may vary, but I think everyone's opinion on films should be brought up, instead of hearing the usual comments one would be used to.

Back on topic, the Combiner Wars extra doesn't excite me much. If anything, I will stick with the G1 Redone spoof made by Lord Freddery (and hope Titans Return is good).

For the longest time, I had been deciding whether I liked G1 or the expanded (Live-Action) Film Continuity more. I finally decided I liked the Films better, and one of the major deciding factors was photorealism. Always have preferred photorealism, in nearly any scenario.

Admittedly, the first time I watched The Last Knight I didn't care for it at all, and I'm someone who thoroughly enjoyed the first four. I gave it a second thought, let it marinate, and I'm at the point now where I really enjoy TLK, not as much as the '07 or '11 films, but still very much enjoy it.

The movie might be old news by now but artists are still proud to upload the concept art they produced for the film. And we can see why, you can see some stellar examples of the gorgeous work artists have done while this film was being planned. The shots of Onslought's back and Megatron breathing fire are from Josh Nizzi and the lansdcape shots as well as a shot of the staff are from Thomas Pringle. Enjoy!

Onslaught's back kibble makes me wonder how his toys would have transformed had they ever been made.

I second this notion.

Looks cool, however they've made Transformers a Scary Movie parody on other films so sillyness is what they're going for now.

I found this one on Twitter. Is it real? Because if it is I'm disappointed that we didn't get this in the toy.

He found the glasses!

If you ever wanted to see what Barricade would look like with some mirrored shades, Josh Nizzi's instagram page can show us just that. In this piece of concept art we can see Barricade rocking some cop shades. What do you think of this idea? Should Barricade have kept this look?

They do make him look more cop-like.

the more i look at it. the more i see waspinator.

he needs a robo mustache to be more cop like

Your wish is my command.

Related to Barricade,I hope his return leads to more previous characters.

He looks ridiculous stupid it's somethin I expect to see in transformers cartoons not come to art for movies glad they cut out I like barricade less in movie if this wad in

Even if he Only had them for a few seconds to a Minute, they'd be awesome.

dragons wrote:He looks ridiculous stupid it's somethin I expect to see in transformers cartoons not come to art for movies glad they cut out I like barricade less in movie if this wad in

oh yeah, those 5 seconds he actually did anything in were super improved by the lack of cool shades.

LOL!!! I could see the scene going like this.

Barricade: "WHERE ARE THE GLASSES!!!"
Sam: "Ththth.. They're on your FACE!"
Barricade: "DON'T TOY WITH ME, FLESHLING SCUM!"

Now that would be some proper Transformers humor!

hmm... I wouldn't've minded that snake, but it doesn't look like it transforms though

Furio Tedeschi, one of the concept artists for Transformers The Last Knight has again shared some new concepts over on his Instagram! This artwork features some interesting early takes on Hot Rod, with a new, Lockdown-ish face screen, as well as some more renderings of that unused snake concept we first saw a couple months ago. We also see some additional "Destroyed" knight concepts, who probably evolved into the first knight we see in the film who crashed to earth, or the Knight who first wakes up in the Knight's ship later in the movie! Also shown is another shot of Barricade! Check all of these pieces out below, and click on any of them to be taken to Furious Instagram! Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest Transformers news and reviews!

Gotta love that Hot Rod's pre-production name was Side Kick

Um, there are two of the exact same destroyed knight images, and not a single Barricade image

Ig89ninja wrote:Um, there are two of the exact same destroyed knight images, and not a single Barricade image

Not sure what you're referring to as far as the repeat knight image, but the article has been updated to include the Barricade image! Sorry that was missed the first time around.

Guess that kinda explains why Hot Rod has Lockdowns feet on his toy. Weird how they largely based him on Lockdown though. Guess it might have to do with the v-mode.

You can never have too many giant robot snakes and rotted heads.

Cool concepts!
Hot Rod definitely has a Lockdown vibe with the helmet.
I lie the knights.
A snake-former is interesting,we don't have too many of those.

Would it transform into a robotic lawyer?

Not what I had in mind

Do y'all remember that TLK mobile app that came out awhile that had a timeline of events for the Movieverse? Well, someone went ahead and transcribed that timeline's info for all to see:

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers:_The_Last_Knight_App_timeline/src

After reading through it, it draws heavily from the Aligned continuity and IDW G1, but also blatantly contradicts a good deal of backstory detail that was given in ROTF and DOTM.

Like, it claims that Sentinel Prime was assassinated in Iacon by the Decepticons on Cybertron, mentioning nothing about him and the Ark crash-landing on Earth's moon. And it claims that Optimus inherited the Matrix on Cybertron instead of the Primes hiding it from The Fallen on Earth. No master/apprentice relationship between Megatron and The Fallen is established, either.

Oh, and just for full clarity's sake, any and all events from the IDW movie comics and novels are likewise omitted/contradicted, but this was to be expected.

The movies only had 7 Original Primes, not 13. Why does everyone forget that?

That article looks poorly written. I'll wait for Mcfeely to come and fix it all.

Insurgent wrote:The movies only had 7 Original Primes, not 13. Why does everyone forget that?

Blame everything else that used the Thirteen outside of the movies. Or blame ROTF for going against the norm in the first place, as somewhere along the production there were supposed to be 13 in that movie before it was changed to 7.

Insurgent wrote:That article looks poorly written. I'll wait for Mcfeely to come and fix it all.

I added a cleanup template at the top to address all the typos, but as that page is a Source Material page, it must accurately reflect the text transcribed from the app.

Which came first? The concept of the thirteen or rotf?

Source material? But... It's for the movie timeline an it's all wrong. It says the ark crashed on earth with bots and cons ala g1 continuity. Among many..... MANY other errors for the movie timeline. By all means say that's what the app says, but should have a disclaimer at the start that it doesn't match what is shown on screen

Insurgent wrote:Which came first? The concept of the thirteen or rotf?

The Thirteen concept came about in 2004.

It's the app that should have that disclaimer. This Wiki page is just a mirroring of the app's text (typos and all), just like all its other Source Material pages.

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!
