I haven't seen this pic before. I did an IE picture search for Barricade for a wallpaper on my computer and I found this:

I thought it was pretty sweet.

Nice find!
I've not seen this one either but I'm glad you did!

It's a very cool picture. I hope to be able to make stuff like that very soon.

But it's way too simple a design for the movies.

I agree. I just thought this was the best place for it to be seen. There's no way they'd use it in the movie.

Where did all the wheels come from on his thigh, though?

Agreed for the movies but it would look GREAT to me as a purely G1 based character for a video game, that I would love to see and imagine being able to play as both :BOT:

and

factions like the 2007 movie game only with graphics close to that...playing as Devastator would be awesome to say the least.

Also, yes, the artist that created that is VERY talented and I first saw that picture myself last October 2007. I wish I could do that!

They are either:

1. Part of Long Haul. In which case I have to see each of them in their individual modes. Hell, I have to see that anyway. If he even modeled them.

2. As someone who's modeled TF's before, Prime and Jazz, both for school, I can say that a lot of stuff is only really added for aesthetic reasons, though in my stuff I my sure everything has a place and reason.

Do you mean Draven's Fortress Maximus from the fan-made CG clip TF Redemption?

Because that's okay... It's just the toy with a few extra joints. The decals for the toy are made into textures and put right on the model that way, but that's really lame because he should have modeled the details of those decals.

And most of the transformations in that clip are kind of lame. It is pretty old though, and he had a life outside of TF CG clips in Lightwave.
