    beyond reasonable contempt, shame on the 'artists' for those designs.

    at every level those are ugly and devoid of any endearaing qualities whatsoever.

    commercial cgi gutter trash. A moderately talented 10 year old could hand draw something and wipe the floor with those.

    There's nothing "new" about this design.

    Things I've done or tried:

    - eaten a scorpion
    - travelled the world
    - live in a foreign country
    - eaten raw horse meat
    - drank snake bile
    - Kayaked through a mangrove forest in Thailand
    - Let a world-record holding Kickboxer kick me (with pads on)
    - etc

    And I STILL think those bots are ugly, badly designed pieces of tat.

    What have YOU done that's, ahem, new recently?

    Oh jeez those are ugly.Where are the rest of they'r heads?

    Seriously,they'r personalities had better be endearing or awesome or something cuz they look like Grimlock mauled them and spit them out.

    Thanks for the completely irrelevant boasting. We're all glad that you're impressed with yourself.

    Funny thing is, Animated Bulkhead is a stupid hick from the sticks with a massive underbite and no one seems to mind. Put a couple of stupid hicks in the movieverse and everyone goes apeshit.

    Personally I love both the twins designs, and I'm sure I'm gonna love their all heart, no brains personality, especially with Tom Kenny on board to voice one, hopefully both, of them.

    I like the mirroring going on with these guys two. I don'y know whether it was speculation or inside knowledge, but someone said on one of the other boards that they were created from one protoform which received two sparks and so split. That would explin their 'deformities' (for want of a better word) and things like then having a large arm on opposite sides and the inverted heads.

    That's right, according to the movie's official guide they're born from a split protoform.

    I beleive I mentioned this very point in another thread, adding that I think they're going to have a 'Of Mice and Men' Lenny and George relationship...its an old cliche that will be repeated until no one remember the source.

    The more I look at these 2 them more I can see that they've been split in two from a single bot. Either that or two normal looking bots were smashed into eachothers protoforms and were ripped apart again leading to features of being swapped like some crazy Brundle-bot.
    I think the likelyhood of them combining into Herpaderp/Skidflap at somepoint in the film is getting more and more likely

    The more I see of those two and after hearing one of them talk the more it just dashes my hopes that maybe this time I'll actually like the film.

    They are like nails on a chalkboard to me because it's like Larry the Cable Guy gone all gangsta or something. The only real question is which is worse Jar Jar Binks or these guys?

    Yep. Still think they're fugly. Jar-Jar and Ghetto-bot will no doubt be expressive and comedic, but also TOTALLY EXTREEEEEEEEEEM!

    I still think it's backwards as hell to dive into a 25 year old franchise with HUNDREDS of available characters, and still end up with these guys. Really? Transformers was short on Wacky-Idiot-Bots, so we had to invent more?

    Yes, I will absolutely see ROTF. And all the while, I'll be thinking that I've forgotten more about TFs than Michael Bay ever knew.

    These guys are fugly, and Optimus DOES NOT need a mouth to emote. Death Scene. '86 Movie. Proof.

    (grumble grumble...)

    These look REALLY stupid. I hope the other robots don't look this bad. These even look worse than Animated and that says a lot.

    I really do not what I'm seeing and hearing about these two guys. I find they look kinda stupid to be honest. Why MUST there be stupid "funny" characters in action movies? I'm afraid this will be a Jar Jar repeat, I hope Devastator eats them both and saves the movie.

    That's cool. At least there's an explantaion as to why they're considered twins, unlike G1 Sideswpie and Sunstreaker, especially as Red alert was physically more like Sideswipe than Sunstreaker was (not to mention Bluestreak/Prowl/Smokescreen, Ratchet/Ironhide, Grapple/Inferno etc.)

    *Puts up anti-flaming barrier*

    You know...... since the first images of the Twins appeared, i've loved them.

    Look around you if you go out later.... how many fugly people are there? Humans aren't a beautiful bunch....

    So why must the CGI robotic aliens from outer space consist of masterpieces?
