    Was there any artwork made for the creators (aside from the hand) during AOE production?

    It looks like it's just been moved.

    I LOVE this design! Would have been a lot better than what we got (not that I hate sqweeks).

    Ugh yeah all the movies had too much in them but TLK is easily the worst offender. If they had only used the Cade/Autobots/Isabella in the junkyard/on the run stuff and the nemesis prime/quintessa/unicron stuff it could have been a great movie.

    It would have been nice if it was mostly focused on the knights/Dinobots.

    They also could have done that in AOE and left those garbage KSI bots out of it. Once again, cool concept, crammed in.

    I didn't like the KSI idea too much, but the characters were cool. Minus that double head shockwave and liquid transformations.

    I know! It's freaking adorable.

    I've said it before, but the movies had enough ideas to support their own series, far more than Aligned or maybe even Animated. In a way, they were limited by their own medium.

    Love the watch bot. I also liked the one we got in dotm. Wish someone would make working versions of these hehe
    Bay’s ADD was what hampered them. He had zero restraint and it shows. Unicron? OK. Headmasters? Sure. WWII Bee looks cool? Sure throw him in! Pretenders, combiners, insecticons, fallen, ancient primes, seekers, rail guns, the matrix, and the pyramids? ALL OF IT!

    That's a fair critique. At least the movies had ideas.

    Yeah a lot of GREAT ideas, they just didn’t give them each enough time to breathe. I think the 5 bay movies have enough cool ideas to fill ten movies.

    The outlines should have been written for at least a 6 movie span to begin with, so characters and continuity flowed between them.

    I really dig the watch bot. I like that concept of Infernocus too, although I'm really glad they left off the tail.

    I don't think they needed to plan 6 movies, but I think they should have at least planned this trilogy. Actually, I was under the impression they did, before AOE. I was kind of surprised when they brought in the writer's room to create TF5. Maybe I'm mistaken, and they didn't plan anything past AOE.

    I have seen some evidence over the years that at least some lore was created to be used beyond AoE well before the Writers' Room was a thing.

    For instance, during TF 4's production, before it had a title, a picture was released showing several props of giant melee weapons, some or all which were almost certainly the ones seen on the Knightship. Anyway, with this picture it was revealed that one of the weapons belonged to none other than Megatron.

    Now, this story and picture were taken down by Paramount's request, and I am not certain where, if at all, one can find it these days, but the fact someone on the set said one of the weapons belonged to Megatron, combined with Megatron's knight-like appearance in The Last Knight, suggest to me Megatron had some sort of past lore related to Knights or the Knightship, but for whatever reason, it was ignored or just wasn't explained in The Last Knight.

    Plus, Bay himself said in an interview before AoE came out that there objects and characters that appear on the Knightship that would be explored more in future films.

    I don't dislike The Last Knight, but it definitely felt like there were forces within the production that wanted to ignore or minimize some of the things from AoE.
