Over on Deviantart *Guidoarts postedsome of his character study sheets that he created for the IDW Publishing ongoing series, including Optimus Prime. Along with Starscream and Skywarp who never appeared with this design in the comics #9-12. http://my.deviantart.com/messages/#/d4654nm http://my.deviantart.com/messages/#/d4650rg
Loving that seeker design, reminds me alot of the Sukhoi PAK-FA. Sukhoi PAK FA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The only "Gundam"-ish part about it is that they've got sleeker, more anime-esque angles to them. They're still very Seeker-ish in shape, otherwise. But yes, want toys. Soooo badly. Probably won't happen, but... *droooool*...
I concur. The Classics mold is showing its age, and it's not like Hasbro and Takara haven't got plenty of use out of it.
Absolutely beautiful. Favourite GG stuff is still Insecticons / Shockwave from HoS or any picture he does of Hound.
Two problems with toys of these: One, I don't think a toy will translate that design easily without losing some elements, and disappointing the fans. Two, after the whole Seeker debacle in Classics, all we really need is another mold to whip everyone into a frenzy.
I'm loving that seeker concept, The legs seem look toi me like they are based off the Animated Starsream's Legs.
I will always be astonished and impressed at just how good Guido is. One of my most treasured possessions is a bit of Beast Wars artwork I got from him on eBay some years back. Even got mailed to me directly from Guido himself.
