I thought I would start my large thread with my movie redesigns of characters and what they would look like if some existed in the movies. I've done this before but I wanted to start posting them again. None will be in order and I will put sources down as well.

Jetfire​

My refined design of Jetfire. I refined his ROTF design to make him less old. I'd still make him the old seeker he is but I felt the cane was overdoing it, so I removed it. I also tried to recreate some parts of his G1 counterpart like his chest and battlemask. It took me a minute to get this design right, and I finally nailed it.

Perceptor​

My Design of Perceptor. I found a better use for the "Pablo-Jacks" head after all. I saw this custom figure of Perceptor using the ROTB Wheeljacks design, and it gave me the idea to remake my Perceptor design. I made one years ago but it's another I thought to redesign and this one is more satisfying to make.

Used TF3 "Breakdown v4a" Soundwave concept, TF 07 Game Payload render, ROTB Wheeljack promo image, Aligned (TF Prime) Transformers Universe Perceptor concept, and TF4 Optimus Prime Head Concept

 

Kup​

My Design of Kup in the Bayverse. I saw some Kup Live Action designs based on his G1 design for the Knightverse. So I've decided to make my own version of live-action Kup while also making him in my Movie Remakes, plus I've been meaning to redo him anyway. In my TF Movie AU, he would be a sergeant to Ironhide and Hound called Old Timer.

Sources:
Used AOE "Corvette" Crosshairs concept, TF1 O7 Game Payload & Crankcase, TF4 Hound Concept and Bumblebee Movie Cybertron Ironhide Concept

 

Wheeljack (DOTM)​

This is another one of my remodeled Transformers movie characters Wheeljack aka Que from the Dark of the Moon movie. I didn't like how they portrayed him in the movie making him look like Einstein. So I just changed his head design and recolored him to his classic colors but coloring him white was a bit difficult since blue doesn't mix with white well.

Sources:
Used TF3 Que Movie Image, Bumblebee Cybertron Wheeljack and TF3 Wheeljack Box Art

 

Wreckage (Refined)
​

My refined design of Wreckage from TF1 Movie Comics. I've seen some people try making their take on this forgotten Con and I thought to try my hand on him including some lore-accurate designs. He was an interesting simple fun to make.

Sources:
Used TF1 "Wreckage" Stryker Concept, TF4 AOE Swords Armory Concept, TF4 AOE "Lockdown Spark Extractor V.01" Concept, and TF1 Destiny Alliance Cover Wreckage Art

 

All of these designs remind me of 5ose old cast robots videos! These feel both refreshing and nostalgic.

 

I do remember those too. Better and simple times.

 

Blitzwing (BB and G1)​

My design of Blitzwing. Another remake I've wanted to do for a while was to make Blitzwing an actual triple-changer. I still liked his movie appearance and wanted to add Bayverse elements while retaining his BB movie look. I also colored him in his g1 colors like his DLX Figure.

Sources:
Used Bumblebee DLX Collectiable Figure Blitzwing Figure, BB Dropkick Concept "Heli Version", BB Blitzwing Promo Render, Josh Nizzi TF5 Nitro Zeus Concept, Josh Nizzi TF5 Bulldog Concept, and BB Shane Baxley "Ranger" Blitzwing Concept.

 

Knockout (ROTF)
​

My design of ROTF Knock Out. Another overhaul character design I had planned to do a while back with massive improvements on him but most of his design stayed the same. I had fun remaking him and now he fits the universe more.

Sources:
Used AOE Stinger Promo, ROTF Arcee Sisters "Arcee" Concept, ROTF Breakaway Render, TLK Mohawk Concept, ROTB Arcee Promo, TF 07 "Bumblebee Weapons" Concept and DOTM Autobot Protoform Concept

 

Strika
​

My make of Strika. I did design her a while back when I first started and I thought to improve her design to give her some feminine look but also keep her robust side. I had fun with this one.

Sources:
Used DOTM "Dreadlock Decepticon V3A" Dreads Concept by Josh Nizzi, TF3 Game Decepticon Titan Game Render, TF1 Movie Ironhide 3D Render, TF3 Game Warpath Concept, Bumblebee Movie Cybertron Bumblebee Concept, ROTF Game Longhaul Render and TF1 Movie Brawl Render by KingStarscream9

​

 

That Strika rocks.

 

Thanks!

 

Hound (Refined)
​

My refined design of Bayverse Hound. As much as I love the chunky military Autobot, I felt he should've been more robust and tactical while seeing his body. I also thought it would be cool if his arm pads were holding in his ammo clips instead of being out in the open and I also wanted to bring some G1 influences to him like the TF: Rise of Unicron Fan movie is doing. A quick and simple fun refining of Hound.

Sources:
Used AOE Hound Promo Render, DOTM Game Warpath Concept Art, DOTM Movie "Steeljaw" Que aka Wheeljack Concept, BB Movie Autobot Soldier Concept and TF Uninverse Online Game Hound Concept art by Tom Stockwell

 

Elita One, Chromia & Arcee (Twin Sisters)​

This is my version of the "Twin Sisters" including their cycle forms and combined mode. I would use their Cycle Modes as a second alt mode because I thought it would help them stand out from their counterparts. I also based on their combined form from the concept art and named her "Victorion"

Cycle Modes

​

Victorion (Combined Mode)

​

Elita One
​

My last Elita One revamp because I made a Cybertronian form of her already and I felt like she needed it. Plus I think I might be more happy with this design of her much like her Cybertronian form.

Sources:
Reused my Cybertron Elita One Concept, ROTF Elita-One render, and ZOOMPIC Trans Deadends Arcee 2007 Arcee concept

​

Chromia​

My revamped Chromia. The design was a bit complicated for her since she's not like her sister and I was going to make her wheeled feet but it didn't feel right, so I went with this one.

Sources:
Used Bumblebee Arcee Concept, TF2 ROTF Chromia concept, and 2007 Arcee concept

​

Arcee​

My revamped Arcee. Since I did my final Elita One Revamp, I had to do the same for the other sisters. For some reason, I keep seeing them to revamp them because for one I'm getting better as I go on this and this is my major improvement on her. Next will be Chromia and the sisters as a group.

Sources:
Used TF 2007 Arcee concept, Bumblebee Arcee Concept, and TF2 Arcee concept

​

 

God, I love those redesigns, great job

 

Thank you! I still have a huge folder with more of them.  

 

Love to see them in the near future dude keep it up

 

Thank you! I've got more than you think.

 

Mirage (Dino)
​

My refined design of Mirage. This was on my to-do list for a while now and it took a while to get this design down. I wanted to fuse both of ROTB Mirage and Dino from DOTM for my Movie AU. I truly love the results of what I have and probably my most complex as far as him.


Sources:
Used DOTM Josh Nizzi Mirage Concept, DOTM Mirage/Dino Render, AOE Vehicon Render, DOTM Josh Nizzi Soundwave Concept, ROTB Mirage Promo Render, Wen-Gaming TF Online Mirage Concept and 2017 Ford GT from 3DTuning.

Knight Optimus Upgrade
​

(Movie AU) - Since Sentinel Primes sacrificed to help Optimus defeat Megatronus in Chicago, he wanted to honor his teacher by upgrading parts of his armor with his Knight armor to remember him.

I've wanted to do an upgraded Knight Optimus for a while now but didn't know how to do it. I also wanted to retain his glass chest front until I saw Barricade24's "Optimus Sentinel" custom render and this fan-made Knight Optimus Prime concept video for TF5, it gave me that inspiration and idea to make him. This would be him after getting his knight form.

Used TF4 Knight Optimus Prime renders and TF3 DOTM Sentinel Prime Promo PNG Render
