In Ironhide’s words
we meet a version of Malik that bridges his past and future. He resembles his younger self from Origins, complete with his iconic afro, but he is now more battle-hardened and powerful.
Having left his slave days behind, he proudly wears his signature golden hoops and bracelets. And of course, he wields a massive hammer (though not yet the mythic Hammer of the Ages).
Following his liberation, Malik chose to stay and offer his hammer to Prince Denas, becoming an essential part of the Kingdom’s defense.
