Hello viewers, here is some more Transformers 5 news.

1. Transformers 5 concept art revealed

1.1. Some of Hound’s concept art was shown from the Transformers: The Last Knight Instagram page, revealing the look of him in robot mode. For the most part he looks the same from the last time we saw him in Transformers: Age Of Extinction; he has new medic symbols across him, hinting at his new role as less of the muscle of the Autobots and more of a healer. We also see that he’s shed some of his armor and weapons, and that he is just a little taller than before. His character description is: “Always has his finger on a trigger,” so he most certainly has not abandoned combat all together.

1.2. Also revealed from the Transformers: The Last Knight Instagram page was Barricade’s concept art. He is completely re-done from head to toe, including body-sculp, colors, and weaponry. To see the new look of Barricade, go to the Transformers: The Last Knight’s Instagram page. His character description is: “A duplicitous Decepticon sentry.”

1.3. Concept art for Bumblebee was also shown off of the Transformers: The Last Knight Instagram page. In this version of Bumblebee, it appears that he’s gone back to the basics; he looks very similar to how he did from the first three Transformers films. While his battle mask looks close to the one he had in Transformers: Age Of Extinction, this more simple look to Bumblebee I think will be greatly appreciated.

1.4. A big reveal shown through the Transformers: The Last Knight Instagram page was the new look of Megatron. Like Barricade, he has been completely re-done. He has a new more rounded off head-sculp, identical to the one released a while ago by Michael Bay when he announced Megatron’s return. He also has a new battle mask, new armor, and a large ax for a weapon. He is completely all grey, and stands at thirty feet tall, making him the tallest of the Transformers that have been revealed for the new movie. His description is: “Peace through tyranny.”

2. Hot Rod character speculation

Fans have speculated that Hod Rod’s confirmation to be in Transformers: The Last Knight could be much more than a new character addition. With set photos and videos being captured by fans and released over many platforms, it is surprising that we haven’t seen anything that could be Hot Rod’s vehicle mode on set; the crew is keeping him hidden, or he has a small yet possibly significant role in the film. With JoBlo’s rumored plot leak seemingly becoming more true every time news of the movie gets released, it is possible that if Optimus Prime does indeed return to Cybertron, that he could find Hot Rod there as a survivor of the war and bring him back to earth with him.

In Hot Rod’s character description when his concept art was shown, he was said to be “Bumblebee’s brother-in-arms,” signifying that they have a strong bond together. And with a Bumblebee spin-off movie set to be the next movie in the Transformers live-action film series after Transformers: Age Of Extinction, it is very likely that Bumblebee and Hot Rod could be in that movie together as a duo. This could also mean that when Optimus Prime isn’t around, or if he ever steps down, Hot Rod could be introduced as a possible new [temporary] leader of the Autobots. But of course this is all just theories, and only time will tell.

Hello viewers, here is some more Transformers 5 news

1. Optimus Prime to be featured in Detroit

The official stunt driver for the trucks of Optimus Prime in the Transformers live-action film series took to his Instagram account at “opwheelman” to say that he is getting ready to get back to work driving Optimus Prime for Transformers: The Last Knight with a photo of Optimus Prime’s Western Star truck mode. This would coincide with filming being moved to Detroit, so it is possible that Optimus Prime will be filmed there.

2. Remote control truck spotted on the Snapchat of Transformers 5

The RC truck shown in the photo resembles the look very closely to that of Wheelie from Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen and Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. Before this photo was shown, fans had already begun speculating that Wheelie would indeed return because his counterpart Brains returned in Transformers: Age Of Extinction. But like it comes to everything else in film, only time will tell.

Possible Potential Spoilers Ahead

3. JoBlo releases Transformers 5 plot details

3.1. www.JoBlo.com stated that in Transformers 5 Optimus Prime, while on his way to find his creators, will return to Cybertron to bring it back to life, only to find out that he needs an artifact found on Earth. 

This would fit the same mold as the previous Transformers films, of having to have a special object in their possession.

3.2. www.JoBlo.com went on to say that British Mythology will be introduced, where the Transformers find the artifact they need for Cybertron, and it is connected to King Arthur lore and could possibly be linked to the famed sword Excalibur.

The old G1 animated Transformers cartoon did do an episode plot-line of the Transformers returning to King Arthur’s time and having to assist him, so they could be borrowing elements from the show. This would also fit with why the title of Transformers 5 features the word “knight”, and why the logo looks like it’s made of stone, and why there’s a sword in the middle of it. This could also have to due with the sword Optimus Prime got in Transformers: Age Of Extinction too.

3.3. www.JoBlo.com continued by saying that Bumblebee will assume a leadership role while Optimus Prime is away (again similar to a Transformers cartoon), and that Hound, Drift, Crosshairs, and the Dinobots are set to return, as well as other tiny Dinobots. They also said that the Autobots will set up their base of operations in the Badlands of South Dakota.

This claim [about South Dakota] can be taken further as www.TFW2005.com did capture a set photo of a South Dakota State Trooper vehicle, so this appears to be true.

3.4. www.JoBlo.com continued by saying that Anthony Hopkins will provide the voice for a Transformer called “The Creator” and that two new Autobots will be introduced as well named Cogman and Squeaks.

The only thing that could be puzzling is that we always assumed that there was more than one Creator when it came to the Transformers, and Anthony Hopkins could be playing the one and only one of that type of character.

3.5. www.JoBlo.com finished their article by saying that in addition to Megatron returning, that his new vehicle mode will be a fighter jet.

If Megatron does indeed return, it wouldn’t seem out of the ordinary if he did return as a fighter jet, because that’s one of his classic vehicle modes. Fans have begun to speculate that he could return as a Cybertronian jet like he was in the 2007 Transformers film.
