    Sigh, people will always be negative over something they haven't even seen yet.

    I wonder if he mistook design elements as it doesn't look like those things are in the artwork by @Transformers Brasil and he apparently had the concept art in front of him rather than drawing from memeory.

    Also from what I can tell while working on her, is that the reason why her head looks similar to Jolt's, is because of her battle mask. It comes down and kinda looks like Lockdown's.

    Quick and dirty mockup, but kinda like this:

    Just like on the story-board pic by TransformersAltModes (IG)

    All I can do is ask why.

    Like, how did we go from the relatively smooth faces of Dropkick, Shatter, and Blitzwing, which all looked great for what they needed to be, and just swing all the way back to movie 1 Decepticon aesthetics with insectile quad-eyes?

    [​IMG]

    And didn't they say she was based on the G1 'character' as well? Because if that is what we can expect...well, I'd say I'd be worried for what Mirage looks like, to say nothing of Wheeljack and Arcee, since they called him G1 based but if "Dreadbird" is any indication then there's going to be a loooooooot of questions regarding what the actual hell was the thought process behind this film.

    I feel like we're regressing on the designs from Bumblebee. Now all these Cons are back to having grey as the primary color. What happened to the bright red and blue as seen on Shatter and Dropkick? Also, Nightbird's design seems more gribbly and cluttered in general.

    Makes me worried about Battletrap, too. Doesn't matter that his alt. mode is bright orange, if he doesn't have any bright color in the robot mode parts the orange only is going to form a very small amount of the actual robot mode.

    Christ, you geewunners are never happy, are you?

    You guys are getting:

    G1 Optimus, but he's got too many cables!:mad: 

    G1 Mirage, but he can't be a Porsche!:mad: 

    G1 Wheeljack, but he can't be a van!:mad: 

    G1 Arcee, but she can't be a bike!:mad: 

    Scourge, a G1 character, but he's grey!:mad: 

    Nightbird, also a G1 character, but she's got 4 eyes!:mad: 

    Next, the beasts will be getting slandered for looking too realistic.

    You know I wasn't the biggest fan of the dreads and really the face overall when you showed off the face but I kind of love it now. Mainly the way the face is.

    Were so far getting 1 Scourge toy.
    Also, @SilverOptimus has said that wave 2 is not all complete so who knows.
    I mean since it was concept art who knows how different the final model will look. It's not the first time the concept art or even the face looks different that the final mode (Ex. Jolt)
    It's TFW & the internet that all that happens on this site.

    Honestly yes it could use more Purple but minus the eyes & other minor things it doesn't look that out of place next to Shatter's model IMO. I won't say they look perfect together but they don't look terribly out of place

    The idea of a fembot with hair sounds appealing enough to me. The rest I'm neither happy nor upset about.

    But a (unofficial) first look at a ROTB bot is welcome.

    Honestly, the dreads were weird when he first shared the head but honestly seeing the rest of the body it don't really bother me anymore. But honestly get rid of the dreads, give it a bit more purple and keep the rest cause I really like the rest (love the Predator arm blates). But who knows how final this design is.

    So I’ll obviously reserve full judgement since we technically haven’t seen the “actual” design. But this seems like sort lf a mixed bag. I’ll go over my personal pros and cons.

    I like the kibble management and think she has a pretty nice sillhouette. The car parts seem to go in some pretty decent places instead of just fusing to the body like most post-DotM characters or exploding out like the early movie designs. I think it’s pretty cool that she has both built-in and hand-held weapons too.

    Proportional wonkiness due to the fact that it’s a digibash aside, I don’t really know how to feel about the more alien look for her face. On one hand, I’m curious as to why they’ve chosen to give her more alien features in comparison to someone like, say, Blitzwing or Starscream. Is there a reason for her to look that extreme. Maybe it could play into the fact that she is a Terrorcon, idk that’s just speculation.

    On the other hand, none of those additions really stand out as being too loud to me. It isn’t like Devastator or Movie-1 Megatron where there’s too much shit going on. She still maintains a distinct form, and just has a very abstract looking face, not unlike how Dropkick had a very abnormal “mouth” where weird green energy that would pulse from his cheeks when speaking. So, in that regard I guess it’s not too crazy of a change in comparison.

    Personally, I like the look. I actually like details like extra eyes and whatnot. To me that's some of the more interesting stuff about the Bay designs, and I'm happy they're bringing that back. The important thing is that the overall design is cleaner than the Bay designs, which this seems to be. I see a strong silhouette and distinct features, which satisfies me. Can't wait to see the official design.

    Yeah I completely agree. To me it seems like they’re keeping the best qualities of the Bay designs without going to overboard with it. I think that’s perfect like with what they did for Shatter and Dropkick for BB.

    I get that my opinion is unpopular but this is a discussion forum, and not 4chan like you seem to think. And using memes to insult me after the mods flat out said knock it off isn't a good look.

    Yeah I do hope that's the case. They can even keep the hair I just hope that the general head and face/eyes are closer to the original head design or one that would be a bit closer to the look of BB than the Bay Decepticon Designs.

    Yeah I actually agree. Irdk why people are clowning on you for not being a fan of the alien aspect of the design. It’s definitely not for everyone and is a very slippery slope depending on how it’s executed.

    I don't even mind the 4 eyes. My problem has to do with the execution rather than the items present on the design. It's the cluttered, primarily grey Bayverse style I dislike.

    Well fortunately Nightbird is Black and Purple, so hopefully the final design in the film will still look pretty good.
