But sadly, the designs kill the suspension of disbelief that these could be ACTUAL alien robots from outer space... I'm just going to psyche myself up as if I'm going to see "Cars"... or a comedy.

Really nice job, MINDVVIPE. I wish I was seeing some more of that kinda thing in the movie... or like the G1 Wreckers. Something I look at in the face and say... this guy is a bad@$$.

As PG-13? I have my doubts that this will be a kids movie. They might get scared and cry leaving well then again I saw the 2007 movie at 10...What were we saying again?

Oh yes, the headshots. Yeah Mudflap's stll looks creepy, Barricade looks like he ate a yummy cop, and Roadbuster looks like a smoker. Well I'm sold on these toys, wait, nevermind for Mudflap. Don't want that creepy face staring at me at night O_O

I like to see you come up with a better design jerk, take your G1 crap and shove it up your ass

Wreckers rules top spin looks badass

You don't know me or what I prefer and yet you're willing to pigeonhole me as a G1 fanboy. Good for you, let's see how much of your opinion I give a rat's ass about. Here's some info about me for ya. I like probably more about the franchise than most people and am tolerant of lots of things I may not necessarily enjoy a great deal in it. I happen to enjoy both movies so far and I'm probably a bigger fan of the twins than you're probably gonna meet. So really, call me names and assume things about me. I don't care, mullet bot still looks stupid as hell. I've been here long before you and I will be here long after you.

I really hate when dumbass people always say, "I'd like to see you do better." They think only the best work on these films when in reality they don't always have the best. I try not to get too upset with them because I know they are uncreative and simple minded people. Good job man!

Thank you very much fellas, glad you dig... I was so annoyed at that troll, I had to do it, haha.
Yea, not to boast, but that original movie Topspin just looks ridiculous, close to the paint farts mentioned... But I took some parts of it and included it into my design, as well as kept it still G1 ish... I love the slice down the middle... why does it all have to be so overly teched out? having both looks so much more badass, coz it allows the technical part for the moving parts for facial expressions, and the rest for armour and critical systems casings.

He already had the legs. Starscream is taking another step towards his dream of one day becoming a chicken.

His name be Topspin.
Im a fan of the two movies. 1st one more than the 2nd, and absolutely hated the Arcee Triplets. Does that mean I'm a G1-Boi? Well, No, but I am a fan of G1. I enjoy every continuity, and I wont like everything about it.

I agree with you, Flux, but, um, harsh words

Yess, Hate!

Okay, why do you guys want it to be Thundercracker? I mean, the guy didn't have that much screentime/dialogue in G1, and since then he hasn't been in any show at all.
(Yess, Starscream's new paintjob in Armada was awesome).
Did I miss something about TC? He's my fav WFC character in any case

I think they designs look fairly good, I happen to really dig that insecticon character and I don't mind the dreads.

Kudos, MINDVVIPE, and great job showing a constructive way to respond to being pissed off.

On a side note, I don't get why some people throw out remarks like "g1 fanboy." I don't see what's wrong with being a G1 fan, or with G1 art or writing or whatever. One thing I've observed in both work and art is that often, the simpler route is the better one. Or as the saying goes (Einstein?), "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." I think the movie artists would do well to take that saying to heart. Most of the time I find myself wondering exactly what it is I'm looking at when I watch or see the movie bots. With Bumblebee, I mainly think of this:

I guess someone just got so completely pwned, they're forced to watch their large intestine digest food.

Now THAT is a head sculpt I'd like to see more of in a TF movie.

Awesome work, MINDVVIPE!
