    And they screwed up the head.... He had 2 eyes in the concept art, but the movie clearly showed a solid red visor, that even with 2 eyes, would block those 2 eyes from being seen. I'll probably just wait for toyworld's, they'll most likely get that part right at least.

    Or they simply think its too much for what your getting and don't want to pay the price. Everyone can save up, its whether or not they think it's worth saving up.

    100% agree, I need figures of all the Cybertron designs especially Soundwave and Wheeljack though I feel like it's unlikely we'll get many of them until they show up in new movies and are given alt modes.

    I hope Wheeljack is on the table, because so far he's gotten screwed.

    Wow. Frickin stunning. Too bad it just stands there and costs $$$$$. The closeups of the crotch. LOL.

    I wasn’t a fan of Bumblebee, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that the tacked on Cybertron opening wasn’t some of the best Transformers I’ve ever seen!

    Hasbro is leaving money on the table by not making these themselves.

    Self Correction: they're ceding the entire table to 3A and Toyworld.

    I\'m all for the G1 asthetic but why does soundwave and shockwave look like they were designed for cosplayers in mind?. These husky bots just look off to me.
    prime and blitzwing are perfect.

    I think one reason might be that they only had 2 months to design, build, animate and render the Cybertron scene.

    Having to reuse parts from already existing bots, like Shatter and Optimus, to save time.

    So some designs might not have gotten all the attention they needed.

    Also, let's be honest here, their G1 designs are bulky and kinda chunky.

    So the CG artist probably also tries to recapture that, but in 3D form.

    Eh... What?

    If you mean that the bug-eyed, insectoid monsters from the bayformees are more realistic than the bulkier, more compact, designs of the Bee film/G1... Then, my little friend, i’d have to respectfully disagree.

    None of them are any more or less ”realistic” than the other.

    What the G1 designs have over Bayformers designs is that they aren't overly cluttered with unnecessary detail, they are more easily recognizable from a distance, they have much more color variation, and they actually look like ROBOTS.
