    Not for TF:AOE but an "exploration for the Transformers franchise."

    Pretty intersting concepts with the exception of Grimlock.

    Merci!

    I agree, Grimlock isn't that hot but all the others are awesome. :)

    They all look like something out a series like Beast Machines and Transtech which isn't a bad thing. Grimlock though doesn't look that good. His alt mode doesn't resemble a T-Rex at all and it's too alien looking. The rest I do like especially Swoop.

    As much as these are interesting I'm glad we ended up having the Dinobots look like knights in AOE. Not only because the designs shown here would create even more backlash but I feel that the designs used for AOE stayed more true to the characters not to mention AOE Grimlock's alt mode is more like a T-Rex.

    All the same I wouldn't mind seeing these pop up in the future somehow like as different characters which may be a better use for the Grimlock design.

    Four of them are really good. But yeah, I have to agree with what others have said, that Grimlock looks a little messy.

    Grimlock looks a bit too overdone, but the other designs are great (especially Snarl and Swoop).

    I think they need just a bit of refinement and they would make great TF designs.


    Checking out these guys's artwork (on tumblr and deviantart), they have a great biomechanical aesthetic. But it's a little overdone, even by Bayformer standards. Like I said, they could do with refinement.

    I like these more. I absolutely hated the Knight thing since it makes no sense at all.

    From a design standpoint it does. That with Grimlocks "King" deal, the "rex" part of Tyrranosaurus Rex is also literally "king". And what are the kings men? Knights ofcourse.

    Not seen the movie so I can't say if any of this is plot relevant.

    These look like the dinobots if designed by HR Giger almost. I even like the Grimlock, almost has an Alien Queen vibe to it.

    I like them, but also don't like them if that makes since? The whole movie style of some of the Transformers look too alien to me. I guess I am bias with the fact I think they should all have more of a G1 look as that is what I grew up with.

    But the art is amazing none the less.

    Best Regards,

    Very alien designs. I like them though. Still pretty damn good, especially Swoop and Snarl.

    Still prefer the movie Knight theme.

    I'm not a fan of Grimlock either here, and honestly, the Swoop design is a bit off to me as well. Give me a toy each of Snarl, Sludge, and Slag though. Sorta like a mix of Evangelion, Gundam, and Transformers almost...

    These are all pretty rad. Probably wouldn't be too well received as Transformers, but these are excellent alien designs.

    Looks like shit, and it's still a 100% better than what was in the movie.

    I want to see these designs as new characters in a brand-new TF series. They're kind of fucking cool. Very alien and Transtech-y.
