    Certainly wasn’t unexpected. I’m just wondering when they’ll do an online thing.

    Luckily that is not the truth. They are heralds of Unicron.

    Luckily that isn't even the truth. They are the Bayverse Autobots, Optimus, Drift and Bumblebee reformatted.

    They could have made it extendable or foldable

    I don't own the figure (I wouldn't mind a reissue since I'm missing Brawl and Barricade from the 07 movie for SS) but maybe they could have made the barrel a little retractable.

    Found this weird (but cool) fanart of Nightbird online. It sort of fits the BBM style.
    This fanart and Laszlo's fanart are the best ones I've seen and they match the Beeverse aesthetic.

    I think he took inspiration from Laszlo and Transformers Brasil's concept art (but he didn't use any parts from them).

    Edit: The creator of this concept art is skarlet.artz/skarletoutlaw.

    Here's some fanmade concept art of Nightbird. The bottom image is by Transformers Brasil and the above one is by the great Laszlo Ven.

    IIRC Laslo mentioned that Nightbird has 'chicken walker' like legs, though given one of the art pieces above I can see how it could have been mistaken as such depending on how the armor is styled.

    The armor is probably very sharp and edgy (described as Samurai-like by Delzord). Other descriptions never mentioned anything about chicken-like legs, but TFWiki did mention that Nightbird was shaped like a Predator from the Alien franchise.
    adf5d89039cf4cbca82a7a425289d9f44d118fe54c1e1558a1469a2f4dcf810a_1-1-1.jpg
    The rough sketch here could actually be misinterpreted as "chicken legs" when you look at the thighs. I don't think it's the shape of the legs, yes the knees might be bent but all those sharp edges gives the illusion of "chicken-legs"

    Edit: The lower body kinda resembles Beeverse Arcee's design (it appears to have a wheel behind the leg).

    Here's a comparison between the sketch of Nightbird by Transformers Brasil and Beeverse Arcee's concept art. adf5d89039cf4cbca82a7a425289d9f44d118fe54c1e1558a1469a2f4dcf810a_1-1-2.jpg arcee__bumblebee_concept__by_barricade24_dd3z4pg-fullview.png
    I kind of see some resemblance lol. Not much, but kinda.

    I've seen the real deal, it looks very mechanical. Like if she was built rather than came from another planet. Lots of riveting and hydraulics. Very boxy. Looks like she'd turn into an excavator rather than a Nissan. Of course the chest is very Bay/Travis Knight-ish. Idk. it could work in motion, but concept art wise it looks off for some reason.

    The Maximals all have different vibe to them, yet some in common.

    Primal has these white battle lines painted all over him, like the African Warriors:

    You know most will probably not like it but I kind of like the idea surprisingly as someone who dislikes the tattoos Starscream has (though I hate it less than some since I grew up with that). But I'll wait to see the actual look/execution of it to decide

    Also, Primal's trying to do a Planet Of The Apes and Ceasar cosplay

    Wait a minute...
    Built...
    I think I've got a new theory to why she looks like that. Maybe, she's a revived Shatter. Shatter's carcass (with a still functioning spark) was recovered and rebuilt by the humans and displayed at the museum.

    That's awesome! Now I'm really excited to see Primal's design (yes I already know it'll be a modified version of the old TLK concept art).

    IDK about that man, that just seems so far out there and also I'd be surprised if they could with how destroyed she is and I'm sure S7 and Agent Burns made sure not of Dropkick and Shatter were to be found by the public.
    Basically similar to this. Which I just realized those are the battle lines/stripes on him. ROTB Optimus Primal.jpg

    I guess lol, I just came up with it because the original Nightbird was a man-made machine.

    Bro that's AWESOME!
