Concept Artist Josh Nizzi has posted some amazing concept art from Transformers: Age Of Extinction. The concept art is near identical to the final products we saw onscreen.
Among the items, we get a closer look at "Two-headed" Shockwave, Optimus Prime in action and the Dinobots; Grimlock and Slug. The art also reveals an injured Optimus with a missing ear. The content also sheds some light on as to why we have two different shields with the two Leader Optimus Prime toys; It appears as though the large shield was inspired by this particular concept art by Nizzi.
The three Knights from the Knightship Armory is also revealed, as well as some several unused concepts including a different head for Lockdown and a very punk looking Crosshairs. Speaking of "unused", it seems as though the Silver Knight Optimus Prime is an unused Power-up for the movie just like the previous DOTM Trailer Armor.
We also get a clear look at the all the Cybertronian Weapons and Spaceships we saw throughout the 4th Movie.
Check out all the images at the thread associated with this news post.

ALLEGIANCE: DESTRONS
FUNCTION: TOXIN CREATION
One of the many drones created by TOXIN to watch his skidplate while he plots something bigger then his fellow Destrons can ever understand. PESTILENCE much like the cyber laser he was forged from, is fast, exact and sharp. When many of these units are together, their AI become one and try to work as a team to destroy their target. Wearing 2 turbo boots on each side of it’s super structure helps PESTILENCE get that jolt of speed needed to knock-down it’s prey before snuffing out it’s spark or dragging it’s shell of a body to TOXIN for some experiments. Due to it being a drone, it’s not used to unique situations or bots that are straight up unpredictable. While in groups, their AI will try to work together, but also makes all surrounding units function in a similar fashion, making the pack as a whole very easy to read.
TFcon Toronto – The world's largest fan-run Transformers convention will take place this weekend July 11th to 13th, 2014. TFcon will return to the Delta Meadowvale Hotel and Conference Centre to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Transformers. TFcon Toronto advance registration is now closed, but tickets will be available at the door.

Jagex have sent us an update about their Transformers Universe MOTA game. Continuing their celebrations of the game hitting its Open Beta stage, Jagex will be having a second double XP weekend along with other special events.
What are those events? First of all, the previously announced contests - to achieve a high skill score in one of three brackets, or to invite friends to the game - will continue to run through the second double XP weekend. Full details on the contests can be viewed here -
Skill Score contest - and here -
recruit-a-friend contest.
Second, a further eight hour live stream session will kick off at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT. The first part of the session will involve Jagex's best internal players taking on all challengers from the community. The second part of the stream at 8pm EDT shifts to Jagex's US team and the game's combat designer Chris Bourassa, who will be taking questions via Twitch and giving a masterclass in playing as various characters including Catapult and Mismatch. As always you can check out all of this on the
Transformers Universe Twitch stream.
Last but by no means least, Jagex has issued a patch which addresses which some were reporting in last week's double XP weekend, including issues with the servers and the matchmaking. Full details on the patch are available here -
Transformers Universe July 10th Patch.

For those lucky enough to attend San Diego Comic Con 2014, you'll be in for a treat if you stop by the
Transformers Panel on Thursday July 24. During the Hasbro team panel, fans will get the first look at the new Transformers: Robots In Disguise cartoon launching in early 2015. This likely could be the clips that were supposed to be shown during the
4th of July Transformers marathon on the Hub.
Also included during the panel will be another first as fans get a glimpse at the third season of Transformers: Rescue Bots and of course exclusive reveals of upcoming Transformers products for the coming year. We have a lot to look forward to it seems!
Read on for the full SDCC announcement and discuss what you think will be revealed!
