Canopy
From Transformers Wiki
- Canopy is an Autobot from The Last Knight portion of the movie continuity family.
Canopy is a robot in disguise, but not in the way you'd expect. With Transformers a hunted species across most of Earth and ordinary vehicles the subject of immediate suspicion, Canopy has invented a new tactic: camouflaging himself as a pile of rubble. He carries with him a pile of jury-rigged debris that he can retreat underneath and hide himself, in the same vein as Bugs Bunny disguising himself as a bush.
Capable of concealing and shielding multiple humans beneath his not-insignificant bulk and additional concrete armor, Canopy has recently taken in the orphaned Izabella and Sqweeks as company.

Canopy was hiding out in the ruins of Chicago with his companions Izabella and Sqweeks. When Izabella returned with a group of trespassing human children who were being chased by the Transformers Reaction Force. Canopy helped shelter them, but as he broke cover the TRF caught sight of him, only reluctant to attack at first due to his proximity to the children and being unable to verify his faction. After he had moved away from the children and urged them to follow him to safety, the TRF saw their chance and attacked. A missile from one of their jets struck him in the chest and he collapsed, mortally wounded. Canopy implored Izabella to run and thanked her for her companionship before dying. Izabella was still reluctant to abandon him and was almost caught by TRF forces but was saved by Cade Yeager when he asked her if Canopy would want her to die as well. The Last Knight
Notes
- Early concept art for the 'bot that would eventually become Canopy' depicted him with a subway train alternate mode. He went by the placeholder name Ruins Bot. He also happened to look terrifying. Other concept art (see the second image to the right) strangely represents him as a modified version of Optimus Prime's first rusty body from Age of Extinction.
- Canopy's final design shares the same body-type as Long Haul.
