Given that it appears to be a full-on render, I highly doubt this is an early concept at all. That kind of thing takes time and money to produce, while early concepts tend to be much less polished. And that's without saying that this 'concept' is clearly very close to the finalised design in any case.

This is not Optimus Prime. It's too whacked out.

When are we going to see the supposed attempted G1 like designs? I wonder why we are seeing none of those. THis could play into the theory of The Bayman trying to calm the fanbase into saying "look their not THIS bad!"...I would really like to see WHY the G1 like designs failed so miserably...or if they even really did it. Because If I saw that on a design table I would said..."Go 180 degrees away from this and never look back!"

i smell sumthin fishy here. I think this is just a way to make the haters of the final prime design to like it better by showing crappy ones. (im not saying that i dont like movie prime) but all these leaked pre concept appears a conspiracy to me. Conditioning?

I don't know if it is or not, but either way I really don't care about these leaked pictures and still have my own individual opinions for each of the movie TFs designs that will be in the movie.

That is the thing to do imo.

I agree. Everything with this movie should be judged on its own merits, or lack there of depending on your point of view.

A design shouldn't be good or bad because it is good or bad in comparison with something else.

For example, I Dislike the movie Megatron, not because prior Megatrons have been better, but because I dislike the design pure and simple.

man is that bad... too much blue on the body and wtf is going on with that head.

I still would like to get my hands on the "art of" book, just to look at some of the really early ideas, and see the evolution. Hopefully it will be out a few months before the movie.

That head says Tidal Wave...
