I personally think that this so much better. Even the mouth is cool.

I like the battle mode but the standard mode is a bit busy. It's a cool design though.

by **Iron Prime** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 12:46 pm

Battle = yes.
Standard = no.

by **Bigchin** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 12:48 pm

Nope. Looks like he's got a quiff.

by **autobot commander** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 2:33 pm

looks like a damaged gundam head to me

by **Sonray** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 2:50 pm

Nope. Dont like it.

You've made him look less awkward and less retarded, good job.

The Movie head looks bad from all angles, good job.

Not really. It's still so segmented and busy, and it's not rid of the beak effect, either.

I could see that being used on Nemesis Prime or if Prime gets damaged and has to be reformatted in the sequel or something

by **Tramp** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 5:49 pm

In all honesty, I prefer the final desing better. It is more like Optimus Prime's classic visage. The early concept sketch is not and without the face plate, the face looks like a Vampire's.

After some modifications that head could work for Soundwave...

by **Tramp** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 5:56 pm

No. It would take a total redesign. Soundwave's head is shaped too differently.

Agreed.

That battle mode looks slick!

Not one bit. I think his movie head looked fine.

by **Sentinel Pax** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 10:10 pm

I like, but not as much as the final design. I'm not sure how you could say the mouth looks better, but to each his own. I really like the final design, and this feels much too Gundam-y for my tastes.

the standard head might look good on an ultra magnus...

by **Snowtron** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 1:08 am

its a cool head but it dosent look like prime.

by **LT.Zerge** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 1:18 am

not quite prime enough. It's a very cool design but it's only a vague prime

the final design was quite recognisable as prime and I kinda liked it
(if only he had chin... everyone else gets a chin)

Um, He did have a chin. In fact, he had a beard. Without his face plate, his face reminded me a bit of Abraham Lincoln, whom Prime shares some personality traits with as well.

*scans through google.. looks thoroughly...*
oky ya. he does kinda have a chin. but it just seems less pronounced the others so I didn't really realize it was there in the movie (maybe just to much action going on)

by **Tramp** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 1:37 am

It wasn't less pronounced, his face is just significantly longer, including the nose, As I said, like Abraham Lincoln—long narrow face, long aquiline nose, pronouced cheek ridges, and the "beard". It is the length of the nose which placed th mouth further down on his face, and with it his chin.

The movie head got the job done. No complaints here.

by **kkl1014** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 2:57 am

I prefer the final movie head design. Like the others have said before, this one looks way too much like a Gundam.

by **Unicron's Head** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 5:10 pm

It does look very Gundam-ey, but I think the movie version could have gone in a slightly more angular direction like this posted pic. Not to this degree, but just a little less rouded than it turned out though. I like Prime's mouth the way it is though. The mouth on this pic looks like where babies come from. Movie Starscream has that same problem.
