New Michael Smith Transformers 3D model clip

now thats what i call a transformer............. and now you can see that the original forms could have worked very well in the movie......

i no what you mean...
and i was one of many against the new look of our most beloved robots. but i will admit the clips iv seen look great but they still took to much of what made this a possibilty out with out g1 this film would not exsist. bay could have at least took more care in there look..
i just hope films 2&3 robots improve in looks ie a little bit more g1ish and no more insect heads

Oh yeah, the clips look amazing. It's just clear that for the the G1ers got shortchanged a bit.

"Yes its a Transformers film BUT we're changing it enough that you'll have to work hard to believe so ;D"

Bit bulky robots is a little too cartoony for me. Luckily I grew up with Beast Wars so organic looking robots (talking about the Transmetals) sort of fit quite well. This video shows us what could've been, and maybe I'm too used to the new movie guys to like is as much as I might've.

Man, Mike Smith can teach Hollywood a thing or two about Transformers...

DEAD SEXAY!!! GRRRR!!

i know im going to get it by saying this but who cares im saying it anyway this Michael Smith guy is good he should try out for the big companies like ilm for example.

and now for the trouble response yes i do like the orignal cartoon look of the transformers but im glad m bay made them look like the way do now some heads could use touch up here and there but i can live with that like it states this film is going to be new direction look for how the transformers look in the that was great clip that ive seen but im glad they dont look like that in the film its to cartoonish looking for me its like taking the first transformers movie and turning it into live action for me its boring looking im fan M. smith work but M bay transformewrs look desgins in the film i like alot more than what everyone else would have wanted for example this clip of that yellow car to blocky looking reminds me of what i would expect a live action transformers show to look like on saturday morining in live action format thats what this clip reminds me of anyway.

That was sweet!

Okay, the problem with the original G1 designs was that they lacked realistic mass distribution, and the way the toys were designed, you couldn't fit real passengers inside. The Live Action Movie designs tried to address this issue by making all of the robot forms 30 feet tall... That seems to make the problem WORSE, doesn't it? I mean, has anyone here actually SEEN a Pontiac Solstice? DEFINITELY too small to translate into a 30-foot tall robot. I even think Bumblebee's too big; he's the smallest one! At most, the Camaro Bumblebee should look to be about 18-20 ft. I think they just wanted to play up the "Giant Robot" thing as much as they could. But come on; Jazz is a much smaller Car than Bumblebee. If he ends up as tall or taller in the Movie, we can throw the entirety of what these guys said about these designs shooting for "Realism" out the window.

End of Speech.

well jazz IS smaller than bumblebee, i think he's even under 20 feet so that part's good..lol

and as for mr smith, while i dont think that stuff would work in a live action movie..it would look cool in an animated series...i mean the CGI in beast wars was good for its time...but the CGI/cell shaded look they use in these later series just looks terrible...but smith's style could work and be cool looking

does anyone know how much time passed between the volkswagon and the nissan? because this was my first time seeing both and there's a noticeable quality difference between the two so if its a short time, dude's a quick learner..go him

Pretty damn sweet. I'm ok with the movie designs (now,) but if there was ever going to be live-action or CGI TV series, this guy should be given the bot renders and animation fo sho.

Ummm...yeah you could. Diaclone TFs came with human-proportionate mini figures.
