If you like to study the finer details of the movieverse character designs these images will be right up your alley. These high res headshots have been posted to the Hasbro micro-blog. Check out the Autobot symbol on Skid's tooth!

Wow, blue mullet bot looks stupid as hell. :lol:

In case you guys are wondering, those will be used on the toy packaging. That will not guarantee their inclusion in the movie.

Hey who's the one below starscream with the yellow eyes? He looks like Starscream. Is that Starscream's Brother? :???:

The green guy looks a lot like Liokaiser.

Whoever retouched those pics did a piss-poor job on about half of them.
I already lost faith in the new movie toy line and now I'm staring to have some serious doubts about the movie itself if these are the heads we are getting on these new characters. This stuff is supposed to improve as they go, not get worse. I have a feeling that, while the action may be over the top there are still going to be a lot of stupid ideas/concepts put into play. Replacing RotF's crude humor and blatantly stupid jokes with bad designs is not the way to impress the audience.

Ugh, who comes up with these designs. I know they are supposed to be bug looking, but hat brim on the green guy (forgetting his name) and the dreads are just awful. I really hate this style.

by **MINDVVIPE** » Mon May 09, 2011 2:05 pm

I much rather see the front face shots of the mechs like the 2007 movie toyline had... those actually looked cool. As for the movie comments being made?... I dont think anything new can be said about the fact that movie isn't going to be that great other than to tease us more oldschool fans with some confusing actions scenes, misplaced throwbacks, and lots and lots and lots of military headquarters scenes to interupt it all.

Yeah I know what you mean. I saw some Dotm figs here at the local walmart and the only had like 2 or 3 roadbusters(the green one) and I just wasn't feeling it with that headshot they blasted on the front of the package so I put him back in favor of Bumblebee, and I regret nothing.

Green guy looks like leozak with a visor :grin:

by **gothsaurus** » Mon May 09, 2011 2:34 pm

These look like really nice quality renders... for an awesome action movie.... that's not-for-grown-ups.

The twins, mullet, and mega-zord guy make me glad I can recoup some money after spending it on United and Generations. None of these really "smack" of the Transformers franchise save Prime and Bumblebee.

Barricade looks like he has a police badge for a mouth :lol:

Seriously though, he'd had better be in the movie :evil:

by **BATTOUSAIXD** » Mon May 09, 2011 2:49 pm

The wrong side of Megatron's face is damaged... :???:

And he looks like Darth Sidious.

K...I said I thought it was Exclusive Starscream, not that it was. Why so pissy all of a sudden?

Let's hope Starscream is the seeker dying in the Trailer and Thundercracker takes his place!
(This will not happen, but I can dream.)

'Tis Stasrcram dying, or at least getting seriously owned. Thundercracker's not in this (Curse you MB) but truely is an idea to think about. Too late now, MB made the movie, so, um, crap?
