Artist Ken Christiansen has update his blog, Bad Flip Productions, with an image of Cybertron he created for Hasbro's Transformers Dark of the Moon marketing campaign. Only the top third of the image made onto the "Power of the Primes" displays that showed up at Wal-Mart. Here's the full image.

Ken Christiansen wrote:Not totally accurate with how it appeared in the film - but it was for Hasbro's toy marketing, and I think it works as a pretty cool toy version of movie Cybertron.

Oh, so it wasn't Polyhex that went through the Space Bridge, it was Cybertron that looks like that... Ohhh...

Looks pretty okay, but is it me, or is part of that indented? Is that just a planetary scar?

We never really saw Cybertron in the first movie, just that bit of promotional material.

So Hasbro's plan was to have this in the background and a tonne of shelfwarming Bumblebees around the "hive". Sorta makes sense, but what was hasbro trying to tell us :-?

Thats seriously lame. Sure Cybertron looked different a bunch, but hell even the oldschool 80s renditions were more complicated and creative than this. With all the movies over complication of robot designs, they decided to crap out on the one place its warranted. Movies just got so much wrong, its insane.
