These are very cool. Liking Hot Rod a lot more now too. He's not very much like the G1 but then that's not always a bad thing (I still wish RotF Sideswipe was still about cos he was awesome even if he didn't look anything like the red Lambo I bought as a kid).

And for anyone who reads this Cogman is a headmaster and this is likely his head's bot mode which is why he might lack "car" parts.
He turns into an Aston Martin for those who don't know and his personality describes him as a polite but psychopathic butler which is where the eye twitch comes from.

I guess Barricade realised that it is easier to shoot two eyes than shooting four.

What the heck is a motion poster? Where do they use these?
Barricade is interesting, his CG isn't nearly as solid as the art we've seen before. Can certainly see a few more elements from his previous design in this one. Looks like the whole protect and serve thing on the toy package art was just an attempt to sanitize it while the movie retains punish and enslave on the knuckles.

His name came from the same rumors that confirmed Squeeks, mini dinobots and Megatron's jet mode so yeah.

Today on the official Transformers Movie Instagram, Paramount has shared some official pictures of the Autobots and Decepticons in attendance at the recent TLK Fan event (Which our gracious overlord Seibertron was invited to)! Check out the pictures of Barricade, Bumblebee, Crosshairs, Drift, Optimus, and the motorcycle, Mohawk. Check out the photos below!

Ah ok sorry if my first comment was rude.
The other cons names (no one else is there) Rusty Vw van is Hooligan, Green tow truck is Onslaught the long haul looking guy and Nitro is the Shockwave looking character.
I'm pretty sure that the last time Transformer site staff were on set their names were confirmed from behind the scenes.
Edit: Just remembered that Hooligan and Mohawk were names first came from the rumors that confirmed Squeeks, Cogman and Megatron's jet mode all which were confirmed later on.

For reference Mohawk is the one on the lamp post in the middle of the photo (in between Hooligan and Nitro)
Points for having an actual Mohawk too.

Yup it's great to see named characters again (I did not mind the KSI bots just wished there were more named cons and that Stinger actually did more in the film I wish Stinger was still alive somehow I'm just going to imagine him in the movie when I watch it)
With them (Megatron, Onslaght, Hooligan, Mohawk), Barricade and Berserker if he is in the film (His alt form was seen during public filming briefly but it could just be a human vehicle) that makes a nice team of 7 Decepticons I hate 5 man teams I always have I think it's too little I think 6-8 is the perfect team size.

That was one of the things I liked about the first film; a nice, distinct team of Decepticons - with all but of course Megs and Screamer being completely original. Sure they didn't have much in the way of personality - aside from Bonecrusher being a SCREAMING PSYCHO - but they all had their own cool appearance and were in some way memorable.
Also the bike's a 'con? Huh. Thought it was Sqweeks

How would the Blue rusty Squeeks turn into a shiny silver motorcycle with completely different kibble?
Squeeks is a blue Vespa anyways but even so can't remember where but I'm pretty sure someone said that Squeeks couldn't Transform because he was damaged.

And Hound may be my favorite of the new trilogy bots. That guy is so awesome

Good or bad?
Personally, I really like all his moving parts and stuff (Cogman) plus those fancy swirly inlays on his chest. Super steampunk. I can get behind that.
What I hate is this random growing trend of the scuba mask-face. That circle thing that everyone has for a mouth now seemingly. Bumblebee started it, and it looked fine there because he had definition in his eyes, but then Hot Rod got it, and now Cogman. It makes them look like clones of Bumblebee (Ironically they look more like clones of bumblebee than the actual clones of Bumblebee from AOE) with really beady eyes. Would it kill them to give the characters face plates? I'd even prefer mouths over this.

This is very likely Cogman's headmaster robot form and his actual robot mode head looks different since Cogman here lacks any vehicle kibble from his Aston Martin alternate form.
Hot Rod's excuse is that he is "brother in arms" with Bumblebee so that's why they are so similar (and why Hot Rod has big eyes)
Not defending the head designs but providing a possible explanation.

Am I the only one who gets that feeling that Cogman is going to be voiced by Alan Tudyk?
Cogman is rumored to have a British accent after all.

I could give Stinger a pass since he at least seemed to have a bit more intelligence then the other drones showing some sort of awareness during his fight with Bumblebee right before the Dinobots arrive and a lot of persistence during his struggle with Bee on Strafe.
I can't really describe it but if you watch the scene again you will know what I'm referring to.

I didn't know until someone told me in the sound stage with the cars on Tuesday at Paramount. Though apparently I saw this information way back in August when Paramount invited me to the Detroit movie set and showed us the art room which had way more imagery and info there than one could possibly take in during a short 20 minute tour (not to mention all of the things we saw that haven't been revealed or might be unused concepts). Toss in temporary names until official names are finalized and all of the early production info can be difficult to keep straight.

Though apparently I saw this information way back in August when Paramount invited me to the Detroit movie set and showed us the art room which had way more imagery and info there than one could possibly take in during a short 20 minute tour (not to mention all of the things we saw that haven't been revealed or might be unused concepts). Toss in temporary names until official names are finalized and all of the early production info can be difficult to keep straight.

It's been a very cool experience so far. Kind of makes all of those 60 to 80 work weeks on Seibertron.com feel like it's finally paying off a bit more, especially after promoting the live action movies for the past 13 to 14 years on Seibertron.com (link 1, link 2).

Glad to hear that the experience is enjoyable the closest thing I can relate too is going to the Transformers Rid in Universal Studios for the first time.
Running the site must be stressing but I'm grateful that Seibertron is a site here it's my fave website for Transformers by miles because of things like: A great community that I like discussing things with most of the time, an easy to use format that is easy on the eyes, constant news for well anything Transformers related, among other things so thank you for Seibertron and the great memories I have here.
Those old news articles make me feel nostalgic back when I was a kid playing with Bionicles, thinking the word was great, and watching the Transformers series that got me into the franchise in the first place...

That explains a lot about my taste don't it?

Reading Tfwiki's bio on Cogman (Cogman is a Headmaster, diminutive in size for a Transformer. As the faithful manservant of Sir Edmund Burton, he's very polite and proper, but suffers from... "anger issues.")
I asuume this info was talked about while you and the other guests were at Bay's?
Cogman remind me of me with that description though (As in polite with anger issues I'm not a robot though I think
)

Isabela Moner has made quite a splash in her time with Transformers: The Last Knight, and it seems her splash is continuing to get bigger.
Thanks to a Press Release from CinemaCon, we can now tell you that Moner is set to receive the Rising Star of the Year award! This award is not uncommon for a Transformer actor, as Rose Huntington-Whiteley received the award for her part in Dark of the Moon and both Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor received the award following Age of Extinction.
You can follow the above link to the CinemaCon's page to check out the release and other material, and also check out the copied release text dealing with Isabela herself below!

ISABELA MONER TO RECEIVE “CINEMACON® RISING STAR OF THE YEAR AWARD”PARAMOUNT PICTURES TO RELEASE “TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT” NATIONWIDE ON JUNE 23, 2017
WASHINGTON D.C. (March 24, 2017) – Isabela Moner will receive the “CinemaCon® Rising Star of the Year Award,” it was announced today by CinemaCon Managing Director, Mitch Neuhauser. CinemaCon, the official convention of The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) will be held March 27-30, 2017 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Moner will be presented with this special honor at the “CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards” ceremony taking place on the evening of Thursday, March 30, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, hosted by the Coca-Cola Company, the official presenting sponsor of CinemaCon.
“With a starring turn in her first big budget action packed feature film, Moner is sure to make her name known to audiences around the world when she stars in this summer’s ‘Transformers: The Last Knight,’” noted Neuhauser. “We are thrilled to honor this young talent with this year’s ‘CinemaCon Rising Star of the Year Award.’”
Moner will star this summer in “Transformers: The Last Knight,” releasing in theatres nationwide on June 23, 2017 via Paramount Pictures. “The Last Knight” shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war and Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock). There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In “Transformers: The Last Knight,” the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.
Best known for her starring role as CJ on Nickelodeon’s “100 Things To Do Before High School,” actress, singer, dancer and songwriter Moner has appeared in “Legends of the Hidden Temple: The Movie,” and “Middle School: The Worst Years of my Life.” In addition to “Transformers: The Last Knight” Moner will star opposite Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin in “Soldado,” the highly anticipated sequel to “Sicario.”

It looks like Isabela Moner isn't the only interesting thing from Transformers: The Last Knight to appear at Cinemacon.
We now have a new poster for The Last Knight that has been shown off on the floor where Cinemacon is set to be held. This poster is an extended version of the original 'Rethink your Heroes' poster, with a much more expansive background with ships and planet pieces included. Check out the poster below, and stay tuned for more information on The Last Knight!

Apparently Cogman is voiced by Jim Carter who plays a butler in another show.

As many of you know by now, a small group of us were treated to an amazing experience courtesy of Paramount, Michael Bay, Bay Films and IMAX. It was an amazing experience to literally sit right next to Michael Bay in his studio while he was going through his computer files to find clips from Transformers: The Last Knight that he wanted to show us. The experience seemed way too familiar, much like one of us going over to one of our friends houses to show each other Transformers from our collections or showing something other coveted prized possession.
(Side note: I did my best to keep my eye on the file names on his monitor for some massive spoiler, but unfortunately didn't see anything more revealing than the footage we were shown or that has been seen in trailers ... I tried though!)

Michael Bay casually revealed to us in his office that Steven Spielberg, the legend himself, was involved on some level with the story aspect of The Last Knight, which I don't think has happened since the first movie. We weren't told much about his involvement, which Bay brought up matter-of-factly, but I got the impression that Spielberg was involved at least during the process with the writers room on some level. For how long? I don't know, but it was nice to know that he was once again involved with the storyline aspect of the Transformers film franchise.
The footage we were shown opens in the middle of an epic battle during Medieval Times, waged by two opposing forces. Bayhem literally begins from the moment the movie starts. If it's going to be a film directed by Michael Bay, we might as well embrace the Bayhem and enjoy the ride. Earlier in the day, while we were at Bay Films, Michael Bay showed us some behind the scenes footage of this opening sequence that was really cool to see. There's a pivotal human character, none other than Merlin, who was rather entertaining and fun to watch. The dragon Transformer, Dragonstorm, that was seen in previous trailers is simply massive and the scene where he is flying near the cliff has been completed more (such as a moment where his wing splashes into the water). The dragon Transformer is the secret weapon, or one of the weapons, used to turn the tide for the "good" guys during the initial battle. After the battle, we are shown the Knights of the Roundtable accompanied by the Cybertronian Knights.
The entire Medieval Times battle sequence is some of what Michael Bay does best ... massive epic battles, beautiful scenery, all-out action, and humor. Wait until you see some of these shots on IMAX screens. It was a spectacular setup for what looks to be an extremely exciting movie. If anything, The Last Knight appears to be the ultimate culmination of Michael Bay working on the Transformers franchise for at least 12 years.
One of the things I'm most excited about that Bay stressed multiple times, is that this is a real 3D movie. The Last Knight was shot with specialized 3D cameras. He stressed adamantly that the best way to see The Last Knight will be in 3D on an IMAX screen. This is the real deal, unlike other Hollywood films where the 3D experience is done in post production. The film has been made with the IMAX 3D viewing experience in mind. He sold me on the idea while we were at Bay Films, especially after seeing this sneak peek at IMAX Headquarters. The scenes we were shown looked beautiful in a very dramatic and eye-catching way that fans should come to expect from Michael Bay.
A group of 4 boys who are at the destroyed Football Stadium, transitions to Canopy protecting Izabella (Isabela Moner) and her friends, Canopy is all that Izabella has left after her family was lost during the Chicago battle, Bumblebee and Cade saves the day. Canopy is a tertiary character who seemed to literally transform into a junk covered "canopy", or shelter, to provide protection to Izabella and the boys from the Movie Trailer exploring the destroyed football stadium. Transformers seem to be a regular thing on Earth now.
We also got to see a few extended scenes between Cade and Grimlock at the Junkyard, which I presume is owned by or worked at by Cade. If you were hoping to see Grimlock be the Autobot Leader type we all know him to rightfully be, it doesn't seem that we will be seeing him in that capacity here, at least not in the scenes that I saw. A new human friend or co-worker of Cade is introduced to us, who I think is played by Jerrod Carmichael, though I didn't get his character's name. I rather liked his character, he seemed to provide a way for the audience to connect more with what has been thrust upon these characters. A very tense and action packed chase scene unfolds with Cade, Izabella, and Jerrod Carmichael's character being chased by flying drones that look kind of like miniature Tie Fighters. I don't know or can't remember if these are TRF drones, but I'm assuming they are. At some point they encounter Cogman in an elevator, while trying to escape the drones. A drone attacks Cade, smashing him out of the glass window in the elevator, which leads to some pretty tense moments as our hero attempts to survive his fall. Eventually on the ground, Cogman introduces himself, Crosshairs and Bumblebee enter the scene, Cogman shows that he's pretty badass despite being shorter than an average human.
When Bumblebee and Cade Yeager approach the castle (house?) of Sir Edmond Burton (Anthony Hopkins), they are "accidentally" attacked by an old, senile tank Transformer from WWI era. After brief introductions and an apology from Sir Edmond Burton, Burton says something along the lines of "You want to know why the Transformers keep coming to Earth, don't you?" Implying that he seems to know why. Shortly thereafter, a much reluctant Vivian Wembley (Laura Haddock) is brought to Burton's castle via Hot Rod.
Here's a teaser for you guys that I'm sure longtime Transformers fans will appreciate, despite the different twist: so apparently Cogman is a Headmaster. Anthony Hopkins even called him so in the footage we saw. Michael Bay told us at Bay Studios that he was a Headmaster, and when asked to clarify, Bay said that Cogman rips off other Transformers heads and then becomes their head. I'm not sure if this was something I am supposed to talk about or not, but I think it's something that Transformers fans will really appreciate, especially with the current popularity of Titans Return. So, a slightly different twist on the concept, but a Headmaster nonetheless apparently. We didn't see footage of Cogman actually doing this, however. Voice actor for Cogman is the butler guy from Dowton Abbey.
Megatron and the Decepticons were missing from the footage we saw, minus their appearances in some carryover scenes from previous TLK trailers that were shown at the end of this footage montage. I suggested to Michael Bay that the footage be altered to include Megatron, so hopefully the final version of this CinemaCon footage will include some of Megatron and/or the Decepticons. However, if it doesn't, I'm assuming that is intentional because of the current marketing spin shown in this lithograph poster we received that includes the saying "Every Legend Hides A Secret", and shows the symbol from the sword melting into the Decepticon symbol. As with previous Transformers films, I'm assuming "The Last Knight" will have an alternate meaning than what most of us suspect or it will have a double meaning alluding to multiple plot scenarios.
We got to see more scenes of the Ospreys, underwater scenes, shots of the "horns" (which is what they were referred to in concept art we were shown by Bay), and more. I don't know what everything is leading toward. I can't get over that I saw 20 minutes of various clips and yet, thanks to some clever editing, the plot wasn't revealed. I don't know what the horns are, I don't know what's going on with the moon, I don't know what's dragging through Earth's atmosphere and, most importantly, I still don't know what the heck is going on with Optimus Prime or what the "Last Knight" refers to specifically.
As I said earlier, the movie seems very "big", very epic. The stakes seem much higher in this film. It's all building to something really big, which will serve as a launchpad for the Transformers Movie universe going forward. We've only got less than 3 months to go before Transformers The Last Knight opens in theaters on June 23rd so all shall be revealed very soon!
