That first one, dear lord. That's not how arms work But that Scorponok one is aces. I love that poster.
It's almost nostalgic to see the wacked out, approximated, digitally cut together posters from TF07. I can't quite describe it, but back then most of the artwork for posters and such had this odd quality and had weird poses. Like nowadays posters and renders have poses that look natural and professional, but I feel like we saw a lot of pics with messed up editing like that first Optimus one up there.
I can see why none of these worked in the end. I wonder if Ironhides protoform was in place of Optimus originally.
Oh. Didn't know that. Had never seen em either. The Prime one would look pretty cool if his arm didn't look so f#%ked up.
I've got to agree. Aside from Optimus's odd posture (which was a thing back in those days), it looks too menacing, like he's the villain of the piece. The one with the eye lurking overhead makes for great symbolism, but it's totally inaccurate to the content of the movie. The Scorponok one is freaking awesome, though.
