    I see the influence of the concept art on what ended up being Ultimate Optimus.

    I kinda like that "aggresive buzzard" with the red eyes head, it looks a little better than the final version IMO

    Igor is one of my favourite designs and characters. Looks like the Laserbeak toy was based allot on the concept art. Love the idea of Optimus' trailer becoming....ONE MASSIVE CANNON OF DESTRUCTION AND OWNAGE! *Ahem* Yes, I like that idea.

    Awesome! We need an artbook STAT.

    The Laserbeak concepts are my favorite. It's interesting that his head started out very realistic, then got more abstract and robotty as the designs progressed. I might use the one with the glowing red eyes as a desktop pic.

    "My name is Optimus Prime, I killed Charles Xavier and stole his mid 90's hoverchair and had Xhibit pimp it out to kick decepticon ass..."

    Why did they settle on the flight tech alone when they can use the whole trailer as his armor. I hope they'll come up of a good apex armor design for the next installment.

    This looks way more like Lazerbeak than the drooling turkey that was in the movie. It also looks meaner and more like predator than something goofy.

    Undermine is SUCH a better name than "Igor".

    Also, all those trailer concepts would make awesome toys. Hasbro, you know how you think it's necessary to make a thousand movie Primes? Try some of these designs on for size!

    Laserbeak concept art looks awesome, as well as the concept art of Optimus Prime's stealth force mode.
