Just saw this on Twitter. Derrick J Wyatt retweeted it from Tekcorps. It was posted on Pixiv, by a Takara designer.

Here is the original tweet.

This makes me super sad.

 

This just makes me wish he got a toy even more...

 

So.. did animated die because of Cartoon Network and/or the movie?

 

Fuck, now I really want a toy of that.

No, screw that, I'll make my own.

Hasbro, Generations Dirt Boss plz.

 

A little of column A, a little of column B.

 

I found these images on his blog too


These look like PVC figures rather than something in resin....can't tell from the blog if he made them or bought them.....either way I want some


He seems to have a few designs like this too...theres a prime/convoy one and a rodiums prime/convoy one too But I like this the bestof the three

 

He is freelance designer/illustrator.
He designed some stuff for Takara's tokusatsu program
("Tsukaima" in "Madan Senki Ryukendo")
but He relate to No TF product development.

hmmm,i wonder if Takara might make a toy of this,Come on Takara,go make that toy,still i highly know that will not happen,but i will sooo be awesome if that actually happened.

 

While it's exciting to see this, and I did like the character, it doesn't seem like anything particularly special as these things go. It wouldn't make it very high on my list of most-wanted unmade TFA figures.

I wouldn't have wanted Constructicons without combining capability anyway. (although there does seem to be a sort of 3-pin socket underneath his con symbol, suggesting it may have been an attachment point)

 

Isnt that just a kick in the junk. I bet we'll slowly get behind the scenes stuff like this for years.

 

Aw man, he would've come with the Cerebro shell/drill too? Awwwwwwww....

 

as neat as that design is. that thing is all back kibble. there's just no way for all that mass to be held up by 2 leg stumps.

 

According to his blog he drew it after "Three's a Crowd" was aired on Oct 23th 2010 in Japan.
It is only a fan art.

 

I want these!  

 

Damn it. Why did Animated have to get canned...it was so good.

 

Very sad.

Also wished they explained what the hell sari was.

 

Yeah, actually it's not really that great of a design at all. There is probably a much better way to work all of the vehicles mass into the actual bot-mode. Maybe have the head recessed deeper in and the botom panles fold up over the cab of the forklift. That way most of that ends up as the actual body mass.
That's how I'd do it, anyway.

Still kind of neat to see, though.

 

If the back kibble could be folded up a little more efficiently (some way to flatten the cab down towards his neck) then it would be great, seeing as the forks are supposed to wind up on his back.

 

I always thought (hypothetically) that Dirt Boss and the Headmaster unit (in a transforming version) could've worked nicely in the Activators line.

Kinda interesting that this fan-design is a good deal less squatty and stumpy than the animation design of DB hisself. It comes dangerously close to having an actual head.
