    He starts off as an alien jet, and then, according to the rumors, will reformat into that prototype.

    Nice to see a clear pic, thanks Rayden ^^ I don't think the head works, but it's a massive improvement in my opinion. I would like the feet more without the two claws they've given him but otherwise, within the aesthetic style they've opted for, it could have been much worse. I'd give it a 7.

    Yes, inquisitive minds wish to know.:D 

    But lemme give a wild guess, those funky looking Ospreys? Or a new Stealth jet we've yet to see in full production?

    I was afraid that he would stay in his alien form the whole move and never take a Terra form. What was the source for this? The leaked script?

    I was actually worried that Megs would never really come out and only come out in the sequel, so this is good news to me.

    Looks great, seeing more details of basically the same design as the trade show full body pic.

    The only major tweak is the bigger, more solid shoulders plates which look to flow from the drums on top of each shoulder. Not much changed to the chest except for the windshield wiper looking bits which they removed and simplified.

    The lower chest/upper ab plating looks definitely in the process of transforming. Probably because (like many have pointed out) they wanted to keep his details in the shadows (and at the same time have something to break up what would have been a big black silhouette). Heh, maybe he's getting ready to activate the Matrix.

    As for the head: there's no real major changes at all. The proportions are the same as before, the only difference is more details (some suggestions of overlapping plating and vents).

    A lil bit of dramatic lighting and cool light sources makes a big difference. The reactions so far is very telling ;)

    Nah. Leaked script uses the alien jet thing. I think the terran form was mentioned in a MTV interview of Shia Labouf or however he's called - the spoilerish one where he also gave away other important bits of plot like why Spike finds out about the robots in the first place.

    He said it was an Aurora aircraft - which is kinda weird since we don't really know if it exists or how it looks. So it's possible he mistook the alien jet description for a secret stealth aircraft, or even that it was described to the actors as such.
