TFCLUB's weibo page had posted profile line arts of Soundwave and Optimus Prime, and a sketch of Optimus's transforming sequence.

Also notice the watermark "Net Dragon", the company which is making the MMO game for the series.

 

Sweet!

 

Nice, hope they release the transforming sketches of the other bots too.

 

Love the transformation sequence image. Would love to see more of those - for any TF line.

 

That transformation pic is pretty cool. Hopefully they use those as a basis when designing the toys. They obviously didn't on the Deluxe Optimus.

 

I wonder if more will be put up. I'd like to see Megatron's transformation steps.

 

This. It's always cool to see the design work that goes into making a series.

 

Cool transformation and all, but I'm more curious about the ones you can't figure out by looking alone (Ratchet and Bulkhead, yes)

 

Soundwave still creeps me out. XD
Thanks for posting these!!

 

Hopefully this so called mmo will be availabe in europe..

 

There's always a chance.

 

Pretty cool

 

Prime looks much better than the show for some reason.

 

It's the exact same design without color.

Then again, some people always say that the color less toy prototypes look better tahn the colored toys.

 

I guess maybe I can just see all the detail now vs. the show where a lot of the little things get lost probably.

 

It's a Chinese MMORPG... not a good chance of it being translated west. Especially since most chinese MMORPGs that have come westward have been really lacking in quality and heavily saturated with chinese cultural jokes that never translate properly(Perfect World being the rare exception). I'd rather wait for domestic product built from the ground up to appeal to us, if a TF MMORPG ever is made.

I don't see the longevity of a TF version of Warcraft, but maybe a Transformers version of Guild Wars, since Guild Wars is far more group PVP oriented and storyline-based leveling which would fit the TF world as opposed to mindless wandering and level grinding found in WOW.

 

Soundwave looks awesome.
