    It's a 10,000% certainty that Prime won't look that cool.

    That's why I loved how they did the eye color in Beast Wars. A lot of Maximals had red eyes, but there were some with yellows and greens, too. I hope that they apply that in the new movie. Cheetor with blue eyes would look stupid.

    On the other hand, having one eye color to shoot at in the darkness of Cybertron probably helped :p

    The designs look great on paper, but the bulk and the proportion of the legs always makes me wonder about the dynamic of movements in animation. Would the leg bracers so close to each other not halt the movements? Regardless of the look, the proportions of the lower leg to upper leg should be more equal. Walking like that would look awkward in animation, I think. There's also the issue if balancing while walking. I mean these things can be cheated on when animated, but some things you can't hide with a sleight of hand.

    News to me too, though it sounds like one of those Writer's Room prompts like Operation: Skyfire

    I mean, those proportions are more or less the ones movie Prime already has. Nothing awkward about them, if anything its been more normalized. The TF movies have tones of characters with seemingly awkward proportions that move completely natural.

    Age of time was the name for the line of Prime 1 statues featuring 'Superior Optimus Prime' and Megatron, based on Josh Nizzi designs including the glorious tread-cape Megs, it unfortunately looks increasingly unlikely that either will be released but I hope I'm wrong.

    Oh, that’s kinda disappointing then. Thought those both had already been made.

    If they go with that Prime, then it’s only fair that Megatron get the same treatment…

    That's a lot of effort to put into a character that's going to be replaced by Scourge within the first 10 minutes.

    No one said he'd have to show up at the start of the movie.
