Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Game Artwork

Awwwsummm!!!!

They did posters like this for WFC, which was such a great throwback to G1 boxart. Somehow I wasn't expecting the same treatment for DOTM. WFC was pretty much a loveletter to G1, but it's nice to see a movie game getting the same love.

I already posted it here:

They do some damn good concept art, that High Moon.

Damn. I was just about to post this.. lol. Anyhoo, awesome pic. I can see Mirage doing a ninja jump in the back behind Mixmaster.

yeah, looks like your post was a few minutes earlier. I think it deserves to be in the news forum just the same.

Crankcase looks awesome.


And who knew Mixmaster was big enough to grab Ironhide?

Seriously! I never knew he was that big!

Makes sense Mixmaster is that big, given he's a cement truck. That cab's probably around the same mass as the Topkick.

I suspect they may have exaggerated that for dramatic effect. Going by altmode, I would've thought voyager Mixmaster wasn't all that far out of scale with deluxe Ironhide, where the Ironhide in the picture looks smaller than Cyberverse.

its my beloved Soundwave!!

Pretty nice piece of artwork.

Wow, everybot looks kind of angry, twisted and ready to shoot somebot!!

Optimus prime looks awesome and cool in this battle .

Why is Prime firing on Bee?

Goddamn that is awesome. High Moon really knows how to do concept art.

that's pretty darn awesome. Is that megatron getting shot in the face? O_o

I see Starscream in the back behind Optimus in jet mode coming into battle
This piece of Art Work is awesome!

I think their just going for the fray of battle look. Optimus Prime Probably is giving Bumblebee Cover Fire, like he just turned around and bee was running towards him. Also The blasts are clearly just hitting megatron. A little hard to see at a glance.

Its a lot better than Stock Standing around, Autobots on One side of a ravine and Decepticons on the Other. Things are getting Brutal.

I see Shockwaves got his gun on his left hand, like the original character rather then the flipped version that DOTM finalized with.

Nice nod to the G1 boxart,

But they majorly all look like FPS bug-aliens, not like transforming robots.

i really love how mixmaster looks in this artwork, i mean he is menacing, big, and actually he was that big in the movie, remember when he where in the bridge? he only could have been visible there if he was BIG, and in the (megatron resurection) scene, he was almost in scale with longhaul, and bigger than rampage(and rampage itself was much bigger than bumblebee so....) mixmaster is big
XD

Who is are the two on the bottom left? Hatchlings?

I think that's a matter of opinion, superstar.

Sweet!

But what is/are those bug like Cons with claw on the bottom left? Generics?

Probably just generics, yeah. Everyone else in the picture is readily identifiable, and those two are identical, so I'm assuming they're just cannon fodder.

I really don't think it is. They pretty objectively look like bug-based movie aliens. Whether you like them looking like that or not is the opinion part. Let's see you try to argue that they don't look like stereotypical movie/comic bug-humanoid aliens though. Just look at Starscream in the bottom left corner...you saying that that doesn't look like bug-alien? C'mon please, it's just that those who are throbbingly movie positive can't take any comment that even comes close to criticism. Ok, you can admit they look like bug-aliens now, not at all a matter of opinion on this one.

*Fires up Crysis 2 to fight off some bug-roboexosuit-aliens*.

they look like "bugs" because they are aliens. A lot of people forget that the Transformers are an alien race composed of metallic textures.

yeah, someone who thinks like me
and thats right i always complained they looked too humanoid being aliens
¬¬ but still people criticizes the "bay"formers because they are not like in G1

Meh...the art style looks a bit too rounded/organic, even for movieverse TF's imo.

That argument doesn't make alot of sense: just because movies usually depict (hostile) aliens as bug-like doesn't mean that it's some sort of fact aliens look like bugs, hence Transformers look like bugs. They could practically do anything with them, designwise. Movie aliens often look like bugs because those creatures look the most different from us humans, which makes it really hard to sympathise with them. Oh, and they also have creepy eyes and pointy claws.

Anyway, yeah, (mostly) the Decepticons are very bug-like. I think they ran with that design choice because it's worked for alien movies in the past. Don't mind it too much as long as they don't go overboard - I really didn't like the Nemesis scene from ROTF where it looks like it's one big organic breeding ground...

What's wrong with bugformers? Look at the Insecticons....

Okay Guys, show up hands... who asked Giger to draw the TF poster AGAIN?
