I like all the pics weve been seeing recently but theres still things that need touching up just a little bit more.

For example Primes eye in the close up with Shia and Megan, It doesnt look right. The red bits look totally out of place and compared to other pictures that have been released the red shouldnt even be there. I hope this gets ammended before the film comes out.

Actually i think that is more of a problem with the picture compression rather than a CGI blooper. I could be wrong but it looks more like a compression issue to me. All these images did look a bit grainy.

Now im gonna get shot for this probably by the people who hate these designs or think they are crap.

But personally i think they are clever. They look like something that could actually work in real life if these things actually exsisted. Like War Of The Worlds (2005 version) made the alien invasion scarily realistic, like it could actually happen, thats how it would be.

This is what i am seeing with these new designs, and i congratulate the designers and film makers for making such complex designs work, whilst keeping thier unique characteristics.

So there, i have said it. Now go grab a pacifier or something and cry cos i dont care!

lol quoted for truth. Ah, how I have the urge to photoshop these images using G1 characters. then we'll see....

Who is the ass-hat who decided the pictures need to be gigantic?

Megs looks awesome, though.

Now these are some cool looking pictures

Here's TFW's thread where someone posted the pics:

yeah but this starscream looks awesome!!! I got it!! his head reminds me of the red suzabi mecha from Gundam, Chars revenge i believe..



Added sazabi images:





Leader Class Takara Starscream with diecast will be mine!!!!!

how can any of you bash these images and be transformers fans.. megatron and starscream look absolutely incredible. transformers needs a change and this is fantastic.. no more size problems.. nothing.. this movie just makes these guys more real. i love it.

the only similarity between starscream and sazabi are the side panels on the head.. and that's just from a front faced view.. other than that they look nothing alike.

still, it gives star scream the impression of wearing a helmet almost like a soldier.. its kinda cool actually.. the original ss, skywarp, thundercracker looked like they were wearing 80s fluffed hair parted in the middle..

Besides take the basic outline of starscreams head and match it to the Sazabi, without the spikes.. they really look similar.. and I meant similar not just alike..

I was thinking the same thing, i mean who the hell has a CPU screen that big anyways, other then Bill gates, who actually has jacks that plug into the back of his neck.. so he can watch his money flow through his accounts matrix style on his cyber deck implant.. he he he..if ya'll don't know, then your too young to remember and enjoy that which was Shadowrun..

Huh? If his head looks like anything Gundam it's one of the insectoid-looking Zanscare Empire mobile suits from Victory Gundam.

My 22" widescreen monitor with 1680x1050 resolution shows off the images quite well.

Whether or not the designs are good is a completely subjective matter, and seeing them in CGI movement illustrates how good the designs are more than static images.

It simply looks like a monster from and Alien, Species, or Predator movie or something like those series.

What about the shot of Megatron out of ice? I would think the ice obscures the form to a degree since it won't be form-fitting.

And the one with the robot behind Sam and Megan Fox is too dark to really see it. I really wish I could see it better too because I think theres a good chance I might actually be cool with it.

It's Ironhide. Click on the picture to enlarge it because then it's pretty plain to see.

megs looks sweet in that pic...i hated him at first but since he aint in the movie for more then 10 mins i didnt really care....but that still of him on the clock tower phucking rocks....talk about kill you first then rape you..

I agree. I'm not into the Megs and Screamer designs at all, but they look like they could really exsist. I can't wait to see them on the screen.

I love that pic of Megs on top of a building! I can't wait for 7-4-7!

What the hell is everyone talking about? They all look the same, nothing different, nothing amazing or awesome, just the same crapy alien designs that I will never care to have displayed in my home. I don't care what the "hype" is about, but these aren't awsome. They're just stupid ugly aliens that morph. They're bayformers. I will never forgive the artists for making such ugly "realistic" ones. They will always look like roaches with metal, but that's just my opinion, to each their own.

Don't worry, I wait can't to see the movie, because I know it's going to rock, but I won't sell out to these designs. Sorry, I just hate them, and I hope they get to be do better designs some day, but I highly think that would ever happen.

Anyway, who cares anymore, they're ugly, but we'll warm up to that crap, buy it, bend over, take it up where the sun don't shine with a smile and empty wallets.

Sorry I'm in pissy mood.

Everybody happy.

Welcome to the wonderful world of people having different opinions than you.

I can't see the images.

Can anyone post them here?

Damn, someone needs a hug.

I just don't see why Prime "has" to have a mouth, while Bumblebee "has" to have a... pacifier.
