Transformers: The Last Knight: 20 WTF Moments

14. The C-3PO Rip-Off

As if it wasn't peculiar enough that Anthony Hopkins appears in this movie as astronomer and historian Sir Edmund Burton, he has a robot butler by the name of Cogman who summons Cade and Oxford professor Viviane Wembly to his large castle home.

Cogman declares himself to be "sociopathic", loves playing the piano and singing while his master is spouting exposition, and even angrily attempts to murder Cade at one point.

He's honestly one of the movie's most entertaining characters, even if he's a blatant C-3PO rip-off, as another Transformer actually mentions when he first shows up.

Just because you've drawn attention to it doesn't make it any less of a rip-off, though, Michael.
