Yeah, not feeling these renders, gonna need to see the "real" deal.

While I really do like the BB Prime design, i think it could still use some refinement. And I don't feel like sticking more silver bits on it helps.

 

MPM Megatron's head is both correct and wrong.
When he's buried in ice he actually has those bits from the concept art, and the jet mode's head also has those details as well.
Only after he's frozen in S7 he loses those bits.

 

I hope that's the case then. As of now, the changes makes the design feel clunky.

 

Yep, that's Optimus Prime alright.

 

Since when has the mouth guard ever looked like a canary's beak? That's obviously not what I am asking about. This one has that squared off look at the front that even the Earthrise Optimus doesn't.

 

I'm sure it is. The people who were the first who saw Optimus's new design posted this BB Prime concept art as a reference. So it would not at all surprise me they just photoshopped it a bit to get the general look they wanted, gave it to the artist and said "Draw".

 

That’s probably close to the case.

 

After building the BB Op model kit, I definitely think you guys are right and this is a quick and dirty promo render. There’s no other reason the design would lose so much detail and refinement. Even some of the “new” elements are existing assets just tweaked. The parts that look like the grill guard on the shoulders are actually on the BB Op model, just red and roughly 50x smaller. Even the silver weathervane looks modified from the one he already had.

 

Weird considering they had all the time in the world to make a refined render while they showed nothing about the movie for over a year.

 

Good to know there's a trailer ready to roll at some point, any estimates (going by previous films first trailers to release) as to when about that'll be?

 

Going by previous films, it'll be December the earliest. Probably releasing in time to be attached to Avatar 2.

 

Not much big surprise how he looked on cybertron and quick glance at him in robot mode in bumblebee end scene

 

I was gonna say, see you at the super bowl

 

Definitely, it has the vibes of the 07 promo renders where it's the design but not as detailed or refined but get's the point and job done for toys and merch.

 

Yea like compare these early renders.
To what he actually looks like in the films.
People are worried about nothing.

 

Its a decent render, probably not 100% accurate to the one that'll appear in the film but it's a decent design.

I wanna say it looks more refined? Still better than past movie Prime's for sure, I'm kinda hoping they keep the blue lens-eyes rather than the beady mechanical pupils of the previous ones.

 

It looks like his fuel tanks end up on his back.

 

Is this a fan edit to clean up what we were shown?
