For the past couple of months, we’ve announced that Hasbro will be present at this year’s Brand Licensing Europe 2016 Expo. With the biggest stall on the show floor, Hasbro stated that they will feature promotional material from the upcoming Michael Bay movie Transformers: The Last Knight.
The wait is over.
Thanks to Instagram’s arun09345, who treated us with many pics from the London set of the movie, visited the convention and took pics for us fans to enjoy. The images feature what may become the packaging art for the upcoming toys (considering how similar art became packaging art last time).
The images include Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee. The new art is highly similar to the concept renders we saw not too long ago.
We’ve mirrored the images after the jump. For the full coverage of the event, you can visit arun09345 of Instagram.

Have you seen the concept art at all? Just look up TF5 Megatron Concept art and you'll see how the horns become tusks in his battle mask mode.

Not medieval European knights as such, but it has been a feature of barbarian warriors, in fiction and media at least.

So his alt mode is a mammoth now?
I've never heard of a knight helmet with tusks.
tonyformer
So he looks like a dark knight and those horns slide down to become his battle mask thus giving him his tusks
Darker
Is there any point to Megatron's horns? Or are those just there for the same reasons every Decepticon in these movies looks so ugly?
User_136440
Battle masks should've been a feature of all the movie figures right from the start instead of the Mechalive and what not. Hopefully they'll do similar to AOE with figures that have features connected with their onscreen designs, weapons etc.

I don't really see how anyone could legitimately doubt he'll be back at this point.
If these movies can afford multi-movie deals with Mark Wahlberg, John Goodman, etc. then they can CERTAINLY afford the same for Frank Welker, lol.

If IMDB is to be believed, Frank is voicing him

Let's hope this, Megatron gets voiced by Frank Welker

Megatron does show promise. I keep hearing that Megatron might have a big role to play in the new film though, just have to wait and hope for the best.

Bumblebee looks like a mellon ice cream…no?

Ok just looked at megs new face and with the tusk thing going on, I know it's exaggerated but either way, I'm guessing his persona or even role within the story arc may become more like a medieval evil baron of some sort. His tusks and overall head features scream of medieval hairstyles to me….maybe I'm wrong but it fits the timeline

Looks like they just fold inwards. I could see a Leader-size figure pulling it off. Fingers crossed…

I'm trying to work out how the tusks/horns make up the faceplate, but it appears that faceplate may not actually work out. It's fine by me; Megs doesn't need a faceplate after all.

Correct. People here are commenting how demonic Megatron looks, yet this isn't an accurate portrayal of him in the film.
Moy
Well, that's because the expo art will be used to draw kids in the toy isles and what not.
Josh Nizzis concept art is more what Megs will look in the film.
I thought most people would know that by now.

I dislike how exaggerated Hasbro's character art seem to be; it gives the wrong impression. Megatron's design looks much more conservative in the official concept art.
