Transtopia Masterclass - Transformers Movie Grimlock

Motto: "The Wreckers. Weird brain bullets. Impossible odds... It doesn't get much better than this."
Weapon: Sniper Rifle
Transformers. What does the word mean to you? It's a passion. It's a dedication. It's a hobby. It's what you come to this website for. Ever since it's insertion in 1984, it's a franchise that has effectively been a part of our daily lives - it's a part of who we are. Among the hundreds of thousands Transformers fans, there are few and far between that can say Transformers has affected their interests, even so far as their job and lifestyle.

Simone Maganuco, also known as Seibertron.com member Yellow Camaro is one of the few who can fit the description above. After becoming a Dinobot fan at the age of 4, Transformers helped initiate his curiosity in meat eating Dinosaurs. 27 years later, Simone is a Vertebrate Palaeontologist. He's able to put his interest of Transformers and his job together.

Now what does this mean for us?

Like all of us here on Seibertron.com, we've watched the Transformers Live Movies directed by Michael Bay. After seeing the movies, Simone was inspired to get a movie version of Grimlock done. Together with 3D Graphic Artist Sergio Rocco, they've done just that. Instead of the usual fleshed out robotic Grimlock that we're used to seeing, Simone thought it would be better if Movieverse Grimlock was based off a skeleton. Now together, they're here to show us their results. When the staff of Seibertron.com first saw the images, we were so mind blown that we just had to share this with everyone. Let's just say that this version of Grimlock would look mighty fine in Transformers 3. Check it out below.

That design is beyond awesome, and I love the bio, as well. I never thought of Grimlock or the other Dinobots as mechanical skeletons. Very interesting idea for the movieverse, IMO.

One word: BEAST!

That is some beautiful (fan?)art. It looks kinda technoganic-esque. Like if someone made a live-action Beast Machines, or something.

In addition to G1 Grimlock influences, I'm also seeing some slight resemblances to the Dino knight/Dinosoldier Dino Tyranno from Dinozaurs/Dinozone.

This is epic on an immeasurable level! This by far has to be without a doubt, the best render of a movie-verse Grimlock out there today!

Very nicely done, I'm loving the way the weapon is stored.

Also: I like how it kinda looks like those Dremora from Oblivion.
