Just so everyone knows, this was suppose to be the original drift but because they couldnt purchase that Buggati color scheme, they went with blue. Yes, thats right, they didnt purchase it on time and since Buggatis only make a limit amount of colors, they lucked out and went with blue.

I love all the concept art we've seen for AOE, very cool stuff.
Shizuka
Galvatron is so well-done! He honestly looks like a human experiment. I can liken it to a typical rough energy reactor with all the tubes and stuff. I love it!
LegendAntihero
I wish we actually got an Optimus Prime toy that looked this cool
nobleboivin
cool and Drift looks bad a$$
SPLIT LIP
I see.
TheSoundwave
Ah, I see.
After looking at it again, I realized he was just beside a knocked over table, but at first glance, this is what I saw:

SPLIT LIP
1, yes. That headless drawing is just reference for where actors would go. I assume they just didn't get a head for it, or felt Walberg's was enough for reference.
As for 2, I don't follow.
TheSoundwave
Is it just my imagination, or is Cade sitting beside a (1) headless person, and (2) the Transformers "4" number?
kaijuguy19
I really like how the motorcycle bot looks. I do hope we can see it appear in the next movie along with Widow Maker.
As for Drift as much as those alternate colours look good on him I'm happy with the colours he has in the movie in the end.
QLRformer
That's some fine concept art there.
I especially like the missile/cycle bots. Those were really inventive and may have worked out well in live-action.
Burnout00012
You guys do realize that's not red, it's orange, right?
Autovolt 127
Red and Black suit Drift a lot more than the Black and Blue we ended up with.
Hopefully Hasbro considers a future redeco based on the concept art.
GAUGE
Mark chilling next to a Headless Corpse. Nice. lol
Dormamu
Just in case, here's the run down to the current sales/deals for AOE on all formats:

Never even noticed the folded up fighters in the landing bay.
Chris James
Cyclebot looks like the Batpod. Pretty cool design.
I liked Drift's final design and colors but that concept art color would've looked pretty good too.
