For the past few weeks, there has been a new piece ofTransformers: The Last Knightcharacter artwork unveiled through various social media channels every day. Yesterday,Megatron’s new robot form was unveiled, and today we have our first glimpse at the iconic Autobot Bumblebee, and what he will look like after transforming. We have already seen the 2016 Chevy Camaro that will be used when Bee is in vehicle mode, but this image gives us our first look at Bumblebee’s new robot mode design.
We already know thatBumblebeewill be getting his own spinoff, with Paramount setting a July 16, 2025 release date back in February. While very little is known about the plot, this project is said to give Bumblebee his own origin story. It remains to be seen whether or not this design will also be used for this spinoff as well. As for the design elements, Bee looks largely similar to previous incarnations, but the helmet design is quite different, which looks to be inspired by an actual bumblebee.
The photo debuted on directorMichael Bay’sTwitterpage earlier today, which has debuted a number of behind-the-scenes photos since production started earlier this summer. We don’t know how long production is scheduled to last for, but Paramount has already set a July 15, 2025 release date. This action sequel will be going up against the Sony Pictures comedyRock That Body, but the entire month of June 2017 is jam-packed with highly-anticipated movies.
