    I can't really say I'm big on these designs but thanks for sharing, I thought this was an old concept art thread.

    Wow so Bay rejects the cool looking stuff, I guess it wasn't ugly enough.

    Still confused at the Battleship character...

    Bay wanted a Battleship Transformer in the first film... never realised he actually wanted it to be Megatron at some point. Though i must admit having a Megatron toy that transforms into a Battleship would have been interesting...

    That first Hot Rod concept looks cool - a bit bland looking (all orange), but a lot of the elements that make him Hot Rod are there.

    Is his concept art for Dark of the Moon only? I have the feeling Dino/Mirage orginally might have started as Hot Rod, but that changed. But I also remember a 'fake' script for ROTF that featured him, which had some uncanny resemblance to some bits that did make it into the movie.


    Sam's mech suit is a nice nod to the G1 cartoon, but I'm glad they didn't go through with that. I always hate how fanficcy it gets when they try to have the humans fight on equal footing with the robots. Not saying the fight with Starscream was handled well, but I think the grapple glove works better. :) 


    Sad to see there were other Shockwave concepts that had better/more iconic parts, and they went with the ribcage in the end. :(

    It could've possibly worked though. Show Lennox training with Ironhide in the mech suit so we have a cool scene of them interacting and developing as characters while jumping about trying to shoot each other and being gung-ho. Then later Sam has a go against Bumblebee and it's all good fun in training and as an audience you're slightly fooled into thinking Sam is gonna use the suit later and kick some serious arse. But when out on the battle field at the end in a real fight it's not as effective as hoped and gets wrecked. In the end Sam has to pull out the grapple glove and fight without the mech suit.

    It would be some kind of statement about Humanity that sometimes fighting on the same levels as Transformers isn't always the best thing, and that there are advantages to being a human. We may be small, we may be squishy, but we can often adapt to situations far better than the shape-changing Transformers ever could.

    It's nice enough artwork, but it doesn't suggest 'Rodimus Prime' to me at all. Which probably means it's perfect for Rodimus in a BayFormers movie. :p

    Awesome link, Sladeprime. I'm loving that artwork :D 

    I like that lil' touch of the prongs sticking out of the hips. Small details like that really sell the Movie aesthetic to me :D
