My designs were competing against teams of designers in LA. Eventually, we won and got the green light to push ahead. The designs were further revised/revamped at Boulder Media for the final show."
I like these looks a lot. They might be even better than the final ones...because they have five fingers instead of four.
These look really cool, I like this Optimus wish they kept the mouth plate in the end. but I can see why they changed to a more cartoony design seeing the direction the story went and the feel they wanted for the show.
