Michael Bay revealed the Decepticon known as Onslaught will be part of the villain line-up this time, and while his vehicle form doesn’t look exactly like it did when he first appeared in the original series, he’s still a pretty intimidating truck.

Onslaught now joins Bumblebee, Barricade, Drift, the all-new Sqweeks, Megatron and Optimus Prime in The Last Knight, with some early promotional material pitting our fearless leader against a three-headed monstrosity.
“Nothing can prepare you for Onslaught”.
For those unfamiliar with the character, Onslaught is a tactical leader who combines with the other members of the Combaticons to form Bruticus.
Combaticons are a Decepticon warrior faction who owe their allegiance to Megatron and are made up of military missile-launching vehicles. The film hits theaters on June 23rd, 2017.
On the human side, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel and Mark Wahlberg’s Cade Yeager headline the crew of good guys. New additions to the cast include Isabela Moner (100 Things to Do Before High School), Jerrod Carmichael (Bad Neighbours), Laura Haddock (Guardians of the Galaxy), Santiago Cabrera (Merlin) and Anthony Hopkins (Thor: The Dark World). Hopefully we’ll see all five including the combiner bot.
