Hey Billy nice to see you back in the mix.

Rat, Nice Megatrons Having the head a G1-esq cannon really works.

Quick question though about this whole concept, Shouldn't all the designs be from the same time period? I mean Primes SnowStalker is 5million based, But Megs is a completely different time frame?!? Shouldn't the whole storyline be rooted in at least ONE century?

look at the original beast wars.megs scaneed the fossil of a trex so this would be concievable as well.

right,and so did BM nightscream,so it's pretty common for them to do so i guess.

yea, all of Beast Wars has dinosaurs mixed with mammals. My eighth grade science teacher would not be happy.

Yes I know the BeastWars story line, BUT with the whole fossils scanning defense only goes SO far, aka Megatron, Terrorsor, and Dinobots where the ONLY dinos out the entire cast. Now so far in Beast (Future) wars has "most" of the main characters in the 5mil block while Megs and a few others are another (10mil?) so by BW standards this means that all bots BUT Megatron scanned fossils? thats a lil hard to believe and still be logical.

It's nice to be somewhat back, Primus_Feather..

ERB - Nice Megatron..!!

very nice work i have been playing with the faces more even to the point of megs as a movie face as a tester. i like the way all the design so far have strong features which in some places in the past series off tfs we missed. At the moment am aorting out work if all goes well will be working 4 days a week but long hours. will have updates soon.

Bloody fantastic work BillyBadass! Seriously fantastic!

Holy crap Billy, you are amazing!

Quick colours for the look to him

I Like the colorscheme, great idea ratbat

The images are about this size:


I hope this helps..
And if anyone finds any bigger pics of theses future beasts -
Please post links - it will help all of us out very very much!!

We need BIGGER REFERENCE PICS!!

How about the middle robot toe turning into a beast heel? just pivoting it backwards and turning it 180. that would work transformationwise.

Also,if you're gonna try to keep BWF canon,all the TFs should be Technorganics of course.
So some robot detail is required in BM.
Or is the storyline not a sequel,but instead more like what would have happened if they didn't fly into a temporal anomaly. (i watch to much startrek )

I kinda like where the middle toe is at.. It makes the beast foot look "off", you see?
But I totally see what you're going for, rhinox555 - now that I think about it - the toe/heel would kinda look like a "thumb" (like a monkey's foot), enabling Megs to grab onto things and it would also give him better footing.
I'll take it into consideration, thanks!!

And yes ofcourse - Robot detail will be in the cannon. It will be mildly robot-detailed.. Remember BW Megs' arm cannon? - it was just the T-Rex head.
Rest assured - Robot detail will be there - as well as beast detail..

I'd be glad to help.. just as long as everyone else is!!
And if the profile book is happening - we'll need more characters - AND DESIGNS!!
