    Boring and un-creative. All movies are copying each other so much that movies are just blending together. Ugh...

    Cool sci-fi stuff but nothing in those implies to me the Transformers brand other than Optimus's and Bumblbee's heads.

    Ew, glad these didn't make it into the film. Optimus looks disgusting.

    I'm glad they didn't go with ANY of these designs to be honest.

    I wish I didn't like art like this. I wish this wasn't the kind of aesthetic that inspires me as an artist. Well...Failed artist.

    That Bee does look very TFP esque. Makes me really want to see some early Hound stuff, see just how Bulkhead'ish was he in concept.

    A twist, what if he actually looked like is G1 counterpart but Hasbro or whoever wanted to incorporate a "Bulkhead" into the film?

    Part of a concept artist's job is to push the boundaries and pump out all sorts of ideas, no matter how ridiculous.

    Most of it is rather negative though.

    After the pounding AOE took with the critics, I think any second chance the franchise had, Bay completely pissed it down his leg.

    Uhm, you guys do know what concept art is, right? There is nothing strange about this. They consider all angles to see what does and doesn't work.

    Michael Bay doesn't draw the concepts. Again, it's a CONCEPT, not what it will be. Besides, what does TF5 and this art have to do with each other

    Maybe he originally wasn't designed to have an Earth mode like Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, etc.

    Also, most concepts are generic as it's a rough idea for the higher ups to look at and say "Hey, make that gun smaller, make him look less robotic and maybe make him a Lamborghini" or "Hey, that Optimus is way too thin and that Bumblebee face is similar to the TFP Bee, can you change it up?"

    Concepts don't need to be perfect or resemble the final product, because that's not the point of them

    While I do love the look of lockdown, LOVE his car mode, I really wish the gun-face element went to galvatron, as an homage to tf07's megatron gun mode (itself an homage to the laser gun g1 megatron toy comes with...) just think that woulda been cooler. Oh well.

    Really? Just looking at the robot modes, you can't tell a single alt mode from the robot mode for almost any of the movie bots other than jetfire.
    You can get a vague idea that prime is a truck, or bee is a sports car, but until the transformation "cheats" and pulls panels from nowhere, you don't have an concrete idea of altmodes.

    Jetfire is the exception because he's one of the most iconic jets in aviation history... People who have zero concept of jets even recognize the blackbird.
    That's one of the things people here whined constantly when first art leaked back in 2006... "Waaaaah they have exposed engines! Waaaaaah! Too skinny! Waaaaaah! Where's the car parts? Waaaah!" Etc

    Uhh...conceptual art =/= concept art.

    Conceptual art is a genre of art, like surrealism or performance art.

    Concept art basically encompasses developmental rough drafts leading up to a finalized design.
