We have yet another Transformers: The Last Knight concept art from Furio Tedeschi who brought us the magnificent (yet unused) artwork of Optimus Primal.
The new art features Guardian Knight; the one who attacked Optimus Prime with a battleaxe (oh um, Spoiler Alert)
2005 Boards Member Livingdeaddan was quick to note the similarity between the concept art and Centurion Droids who are the guardians of Vector Sigma (Generation 1).
Check out the image, after the jump.

Never mind i mistook the circle chest

The video i saw suggests that 1 knight died, the talisman knight aka the hero knight because i saw 10 running down to attack optimus and i also saw the red knight run aside when they were running up
Exsalted
There are at least 3 of this guardian knight because the knight with the spear that spun around and hit optimus has the same exact armor with the circle chest and the helmet Also the knight that got stabbed by optimus has a sword?? He was behind the guardian knight trying to kill optimus and i saw him with a sword

Ja;aGuy i watched a clip and found that the guardian knight concept that we recieved has two knights that look like him. One with the axe and one with the sword that tried to kill optimus. They stood beside each other. Also, the knight that got stabbed by optimus also has a copy because he reappears. Also in the clip, I found the knight that got stabbed\'s axe in use.

Cortexitron Nice spotting i just noticed that

Wei Jiang/ Dr Wu or any third party company, the challenge has been laid down. A set of the thirteen Knights of Iacon that all combine into Dragonstorm.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

I see it too, along with demon baby heads in knees and hip armor.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the designs? They look too much like giant men in suits of Armor, literally.

Man, that is some Awesome Dark Souls art! But, I'm tired of seeing "knights" in my transformers. It's dumb, really dumb.

So tell me again where the legendary knights aka Dinobots fit in this \"knight\" mythology??
MegaZarak
What is this supposed to transform into? No signs of an alt mode. This could be for any other franchise or video game. More DND than Transformers.
Cyborgraptor
I see!
Thanks Jalaguy for pointing those out! I never noticed there was a Steelbane that accurate to the toy. I thought the Celtic 1 was just a Steelbane with and Celtic 2 body. Though I still believe Stormreign body still closely resembles Steelbane or Dragonicus, I didn't notice the unique shoulder armor.

Because we got Steelbane (for whatever reason), it would seem logical that guys like this would get toys too, but unfortunately, they didn't. This design, well-executed in plastic form, would be cool enough on its own, but I think that it would make a killer Bayformers Vector Prime, as in a version separate to Sentinel Prime. Just make him burgundy, tan, and redo the head. Give him a recolored Leader Optimus sword. Boom.

There's more designs than just those, as covered in my guide I linked on the last page:
Knightspotting – Transformers Discussion – The Allspark Forums
The Talisman knight has the Dragonicus head (or a very similar one, at least) but a different body, I believe. I'm also 99% sure the red knight isn't the same design as the Stormreign toy.
Cyborgraptor
I think what most people aren\'t realising is that there a really only four Knight designs (technically five with Skullitron but I\'m talking about the main 12)
Stormreign (The red one)
Dragonicus (the talisman knight is one of them)
Steelbane
and this guy (let\'s just call him \"Kevin\" till he has a name)
All the knights on screen have only the designs and the reasons some look different is because the would just put the head of one of them and put it on another or give a knight someoneesle\'s shoulder armor. For example the knight with the axe that gets stabbed in the back by Optimus in the ship is a Steelbane with Kevin\'s body. If you look closely, Stormreign is actually just a red Steelbane with his original face. These guardian knights are just a big game of Transformers Mash Ups

Does anyone else see Prime's face in the crotch plate…or is it just me?? Still looks pretty badass nonetheless!

It's a nice piece of artwork I just wish the Knight designs weren't so on the nose human in design nature. Still just look like giant dudes in suits of armor.

Metal af.
Shmoptimus Prime
Holy hell, I can't believe we aren't gonna get a toy of this guy. What a badass.
