    Hmm, now will the inevitable MPMs of this movie's Optimus and Bee come out before, during or after the movie?

    :peoples: :lol

    Not bad. I like how it is evocative of the G1 truck mode while tossing in some new elements to give it a bit 'tougher' vibe.

    Both look great. Loving that Prime has only had minor changes.

    Looks good to me! Glad that we are getting more and more tid-bits on this film.

    I love the slight changes to his truck mode while still keeping the same feel overall. That big bumper reminds me of Unicron Trilogy.

    Interesting. I've never seen these before. Are these a pre rust/fade official render from AOE or something else? It's possible a photoshop fizz might have cleaned up a rust/fade version, but you'd still think we'd have at least seen that version before. If these aren't official, they're strikingly clean.

    I'm... Not feelin' this version. I'm sure it'll look cool in action but not really a necessary visual change. I'm sure they have a reason for it, though.

    I'm happy the back is more narrow and thus more realistic to an actual cab forward, especially the fifth wheel! Hope the wheels remained intact after conversion but we know that ain't happening.
    It looks a little weird without the mudflaps.

    Yay! Now we can look forward to the 506th iteration of a G1 Optimus Toy! The Bayverse films may have had abysmal scripts, but at least the designs, and toys, were new and fresh and updated and more "real world". Black Apple Optimus craps all over all the Optimus toys that came from the Bumblebee movie. Can't wait for Hasbro to release yet another spate of rehashed G1 toys that are designs from 40 years ago....

    I’m liking it. The change seems a bit unnecessary but I don’t mind it.

    Pretty hyped for this movie. With the theme of these movies seeming to be playing off of 80’s and 90’s nostalgia, I think it would be quite cool for the third installment of the post-bay films that follows this storyline to be set in ‘07 and be a sort of retelling of it.

    Wishful thinking, I know, but I think it’d be cool for a reboot to be confirmed in that way. It’s a bit hard to explain on paper, but the idea I find cool.

    It looked like dark gray to me, that's why I asked. But it's more navy blue/very dark blue. Maybe they are going for a gritty look? :p

    I have been saying that for years no one want to listen no want to get it these movies are made for old and NEW fans if not for NEW fans all we still be talking about toys comics video games cartoons stuff NEW FANS do not like and buy watch talk about its new fans and new movie designs made bots look more realistic to get new people into likening transformers not have bots look boring blocking LEGO cartoon looking to scare away new fans watch video


    Maybe some of old fans should get courage talk to new fans find out what they like about transformers make more new friends in community and maybe those new fans will want to be memebers of these sites get new people hear all because of movies video explains what I’m talking about.,

    I like it but I never saw all in my life driving on road see red semi truck driving on road with white stripe on cab still looks cartoony looks good blocky bot mode will be interesting let’s first we get prime toy repaint could be ultra magnus or evil prime next ,

    Bayverse prime had the same exact Optimus model and truck for 3 movies. This is the second time prime is a G1 cab in a movie.

    We had 10 YEARS of bayverse. Give it a rest.
