    Wow, these are.... interesting.

    On hand I appreciate the uniqueness and stylized look they have, almost reminding me of BM Vehicons. But on another hand they just look weird and un-TF like.

    And I'm not a Geewuner, I grew up with BW and BM. And I don't dig the way Starscream looks. I like the design, but not as Starscream. So totally not him.

    Nice picture of Prime. Still don't like him with flames though.

    someone's definatly being fired for this one!!

    but you know what.. it's their own fault. people gotta take responsibility for their actions.

    If someone decides they're gonna show someone something, they aren't suppose to, then sadly, they deserve to not be trusted anymore and let go

    Wow these are well ... different.

    I knew we weren't going to get the blocky G1 figures we all know and love, but I wasn't quite expecting such a strong war of the worlds feel.

    Im thinking the general audience is going to have a hard time relating to the robots. To me they look too alien.

    Not to play the Devil's Advocate here but...

    If these images are out on the Internet, it's because someone didn't follow their non-disclosure agreement. Someone shared them with someone they thought they could trust, and it continued down the track.

    Anyone remember all those Energon leaks of Guido Guidi's drawings?

    I wouldn't post something up if it was given in confidence, or if I knew that it would cost the job of someone I consider a friend. But since this came from an unofficial source, who got it from an unofficial source, it's not my can of worms to deal with.

    it'd be a shame for kickback to get the site shut down because of these pictures, after so many members donated almost 5 grand to keep it going

    I agree they do suck. However Blackout(Vortex) looks like the best of the bunch.
    Starscream's leg design is so ripped off that Robocop robot. Plus what MagiRanger said. ;)

    yeah this looks so much like transtech.... I think all the designs are interesting in their own merits! Prime looks great

    Starscream though, as someone has mentioned, is a bit of a letdown, in that he doesn't have the look and feel of SS. The robot looks badass, but it doesn't remind me of him in the least.

    Hopefully scorponok transforms.
    and so much for keeping the designs secret till the movie. But you know, it would've been cool for everyone to enter the theater not having any idea what to expect. then *BAM* there they are, for the first time TFed on screen....

    I like the bodies of them. Quite a departure, but they look neat. The heads on Screamer and Blackout bother me though- Blackout's head waaay too spikey for its own goodin that design pic: yes, we get it, he is supposed to be evil. Toy version looks like its toned down a bit so I'm happy there. Screamer, on the other hand, looks kinda dumb- I liked the head on the proposed concept art from a while back a lot better than this... looks almost chipmunk chubby-cheeks like, not villainous robot. Maybe it'll look less goofy in the movie?
    I am really concerned on whether or not Scorponok transforms though- looks like he doesn't.

    The shoulder parts on SS are the inner, underside of the wings. His chest is made from the wings, but the wings appear to actually split TOP/BOTTOM (thus, two very thin wing-shaped flat parts) with the undersides rotating out to form shoulder plates, and the upper part of the wing staying behind to form the chest (with the intakes and cockpit another layer on top of the wings). They don't split "perfectly" in half--the edges stay with the upper part, so the lower part is missing the edges--it's only the inner section of the lower wing.

    And it looks more like an F-22 than the earlier YF-22 we saw from the concept sketch.

    Does Starscream have a beard? The body is cool, but that head sucks ass.

    I keep thinking "Waspinator" for that head. Kinda appropriate, in a way...
