Mmm, yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and ask you to come in on Sunday, too. We've got some new people coming in and we... need to play catch-up. Thanks!

Fiction

Age of Extinction film

Several KSI Bosses were built by KSI, and were commandeered by Galvatron to capture the Seed in Hong Kong with the goal of cyberforming the Earth. In the battle that followed, Hound killed one of them with his grenade, whilst another KSI Boss was taken out by Bumblebee. Soon afterwards, another was set upon by Optimus Prime and the Dinobots, getting crushed by Scorn, and burned and bitten by Grimlock. The remaining KSI Bosses were killed when Optimus Prime set off Lockdown's grenade to force Galvatron's army into retreat. Age of Extinction

Notes

• The design that would become the KSI Boss was originally created by film series concept artist Josh Nizzi in 2009, for a character design tutorial DVD.
• Concept art for the KSI Boss features whips not seen in the final film.
• The KSI Boss model serves as the basis for Nitro Zeus in The Last Knight. Amusedly, Nitro's toy would later be redecoed for the KSI Bosses.
