    Umm, not to overlook the forest for the Trees, but did he say he hired Josh Nizzi?

    Yay for another Transfan getting a job in a field they love!

    It's because you're looking at the combiner (like many people are doing) with the G1 glasses on. You think combiner, you think one big bot with four smaller robots sticking out.

    You gotta think bigger than that. There is more than one way to combine, and I think an advanced race of alien robots could find a way to mesh together a few robots without having any flagrant weak spots. If anything a combiner could, structurally speaking, be tougher and more durable than individual robots.

    Wow, I'm a little surprised at some of the posts here. I thought that combiners were one of the things most people were looking forward to in TF2. :D ream:

    I personally think Bruticus would be cooler looking, as far as onscreen versions would go... but I really doubt there will be a gestalt team, unless there is an "X-Men 3" style fight at the end with untold numbers of robots. My reason for that is it lacks diversity to have 3 to 6 robots of the exact same theme (i.e. construction equipment) that really lacks the wow factor for average joes. If they do have a gestalt, it will probably be a combination of various characters (90% certain to be decepticon) that were not originally part of a gestalt team in G1, but will be a team in the movieverse.

    I think the gestalts will be introduced in TF3, along with the Dinobots. The two factions compliment each other very well, and would require a major dose of suspended belief for the audience to rationalize (like Venom in Spider-Man 3).

    I'm thinking (and hoping) the 2nd movie will mostly focus on Starscream and his empire, and at the end, Megatron is "reborn." The Decepticons got majorly short-shafted in the first movie. Rather than make the bad guys three dimensional (personality wise) Bay wasted time with masturbation jokes, stupid hackers, and a bunch of GI Joes that no one cared about. Bay owes the Decepticons big time.

    I'm sure there will be autobots in TF2, but I hope the major focus is on the Decepticons. Think of it as a Transformers version of the 1989 Batman film, where Burton spent 90% of the film on Joker, 10% on Batman.

    I don't really care if the Constructicons or indeed any combiners at all are in TF2.
    I'm more interested in who the new Autobots will be.

    To this day, G1 Devastator is the only Combiner (that I know of) made of more than five individual robots at one time. He'll probably keep holding that record for a while if Long Haul's not going to be part of Devastator in TF2.

    Awesome design, though.

    If the characters are designed this well for the movie, I know it is going to be visually stunning. Letting Josh help with this proves it is going to be BIG!!!

    I am not sure if anybody else has noticed, I didn't, but Josh only has shown us this one design. Which may mean this one design is what got him the job. My biggest question is......WHEN IS JOSH GOING TO BREAK HIS CONTRACT, INFORM US ALL, JUST SO HE CAN GET FIRED!!!??? Please get fired, Josh, at our expense! HAHAH.

    the scale for that guy looks about right. and it is friggin' massive.
    if PM or PS is geek Playboy, then TF3 with this guy or a Devastator combiner would be like mad-sick geek Hentai.
    so's who gonna complain?
    awesome art, man.

    Piranacon and Predaking were formed of six (though in Piranacon's case, one was just a weapon).

    One would think that by using the same CGI models for the returning Autobot/Decepticon cast that there would be a bit more money for the new cast.

    Besides I can't see Hasbor not be willing to pump out new Construction molds for this movie.
    You just know seeing a Transformer combinder in the movie will have the little kids begging for it.
