New CGI shots of Transformers on Lunchables Website

Postby Skowl » Thu May 10, 2007 5:59 am

The website for the Lunchables Transformers Movie promotional tie-in came online last week, but now it seems the site has been updated with many new sections including behind-the-scenes facts and interviews as well as some images of CGI 'stock photo' for the Transformers themselves.

Some have already been seen, like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, but there are new ones including Ironhide, Blackout, Megatron and Starscream.

Check out the content by clicking on 'enter' on the transformers window here, chose 'bringing the Transformers to life' for the behind-the-scenes content, or click 'Transformers Tech Check' for the CGI photos and profile for some of the robots from the film.

Update: user NIDARAM12 of tfw2005 has posted a link to a gallery with the full-sized CGI stock photos of the Transformers for easy viewing, check them out by clicking here

My God! Those are great. Except for Frenzy...but they actually made Starscream look cool! And Megs' new head looks so much better than the old one. Blackout's bio almost makes me think of Dinobot in a way...only he's pure evil. The Ironhide picture just confirmed for me that he's going to be kicking major ass in this movie, though. Bumblebee's just a pretty-bot, haha.

I agree, Starscream does look quite ripper. I can't work out what colour he's supposed to be, though. In some shots, he's a silver/grey, in others he's a sort of rusty brown.

Um, they kinda look like the vehicle modes are shells that seperate then rejoin to the robot, atleast in these renders. I was starting to like them, Screamer, oddly enough, Jazz and Blackout, are turn offs.

I like the final renders on most of these. SS isn't too shabby actually. I love Ironhide and Blackout.

Come on, where's the rest of them?!

Wow, it's like "Where's Waldo?" except here it's more like "Name that Random Detail!" Blackout is a mess, as are some of the others (Megatron, anyone?). As small as these are, they're some of the crispest-looking renders we've seen. Now more than ever, though, the robots look to be very fragile. From Starscream's paper-thin knee armor and toes to Ironhide's WTF feet and prolapsed intestine, these guys are looking... well, some of them are looking bad.

I'll admit, though, some look better than they have in previous shots. Jazz looks interesting, and definitely more cohesive than some of the other designs. At this point, though, even Prime is looking fairly abominable. Perhaps it's just the pose. I don't know. It's nice that they decided to put Big Convoy in this film (Ironhide). The quality of the renders is, of course, very nice. I like the texturing, but is that enough to save weak designs? What is up with Starscream's face, anyway? It looks different (read: worse) every time I see it.

After all these months, I'd almost gotten used to the designs after seeing the toy photos, etc... These new images just hit me with the same kind of surprise/disgust that the earliest leaked images did. It's like eating rotten eggs and trying to pretend it's chocolate.

Sorry, I'll be sure to run my future posts by you first.


And many of these are old renders like the Prime and Bumblebee ones, and all these designs still have the horrible aesthetic we've known about for a long time so yeah it is "same old" Bender Prime.

They do look very fragile and haphazard. Don't know what they were thinking..


I also agree Jazz is by far the best, at least he looks somewhat familiar and coherent, and not a jigsaw puzzle.

We have to remember that Cybertronian metals may be a lot more durable and much stronger than ours, so them looking fragile might not mean anything.

I see your point, but visually it's off-putting for many when they look like that. I mean, Ironhide's legs for example, are a disaster, so messy to look at. :-?

If you mean the pics are small, they're not. Read through the whole news post and click the link to the gallery to see the huge, full-sized renders.

Those smaller pics were just posted to give users a quick look, check out the link for the real full-sized images.

Nice. Some of these look really great. Jazz, Bumblebee, Starscream and Blackout stand out as looking pretty darn cool.

I do find that the "busy" look of the characters created by their design is a bit of a detriment to some of these stills and it's not helped at all by strange pozes like the one Ironhide and Prime are using.

Overall though, they are quite convincing. Especially the ones in more traditional poses (again, Screamer, Jazz, Bumblebee and Blackout)

Man, I know those CGI renders are top-notch, but even that just can't make Megatron look good to me. Which is a shame because I love his head design, but his body is just horrible. His hands make no sense and his little stubby feet are laughable. He just looks like a giant, indistinguishable mess of plates and spikes.

Starscream looks cool, I'm really liking that design now, much more than Megatron anyways.

Ironhide rocks, but his legs and his feet are way too busy.

Jazz is my favourite of the bunch. He has lots of parts and panels and looks 'complex' without looking 'busy' and 'messy' like some of the others.

Blackout is cool, as usual, but that pic makes him look small... he shouldn't be crouched down like that - he's supposed to be huge, give him a pose that reflects that.

Frenzy is still the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

Optimus Prime still looks screwed up. I love how in the 'fun facts' they compare him to King Arthur... yeah, King Arthur is definately the type to be sporting X-treme flames if he was around today...

I think some of them would look better if they didn't have such daft poses.

Interestingly, Megatron not only has a half decent (but still evil) face now, but they have even given him the extra 2 finger he had misplaced previously.

Cant wait for this movie, even starscream has portential.

Cool, Ironhide looks better then Prime. Starscream is a badass and it reminds me of Skeletor from He-man :)

:shock: Wow, Screamer and Megatron don't look like utter crap now. I really like Megs new head, now if his body didn't look like metal spagehtti, he'd be a win. As for Frenzy though...no amount of good looking renders can help that piss poor design. And Prime's pose there just sucks.
