My vote would be for these guys to be created as alternators..

It seems like the whole kibbly movie design is the in thing now for the Transformers, and for us old timers its either embrace it or fall behind.. i'm embracing it.. and I'm impressed with GM and their video game design team, i think Hasbro has the licenses shared already, that they should produce a toyline based on these designs..

My fan made character for the game is called Streetwise maximus he's the red car.. but I think Hasbro would make some cool alternators out of these designs and add them to the mix..

these are taken from the Chevy website design your own autobot game..I played it, its ok, but not what your expecting, its more like an RPG then real time fighting game..

you know now that I thin about it, I really prefer these designs to Ratchet, Jazz, Bumblebee, And Ironhide from the movie, they would work well in the movie line up, and I think that ILM could have benefitted from the designers of that game for GM..

Still as far as new alternators go they would be cool too..
Or atleast new additions to the movie toy line up..

the blue truck would have made an excellent Ironhide though..(Edit, ithink he's makle a good trailbreaker..)
the Red car would have made a perfect cliffjumper..
The Impala would make a good villain bot..
I'm not sure about the rest..

They Look Prety, good. I particularly like the Avalanche one. But they look pretty hard to turn into actual toys.

The Avalanche for example, is just to lean for the car it comes from. It should have lots of avalanche parts hanging from it.

But they are still pretty good designs.

yeah i see what you mean, but their faces are really good designs and I love how some of the chests and torso sections are done, if they had more GM car parts hanging off the arms or legs it wouldn't be so bad, I would love to see toys of them..

i would prefer seeing more alts than more movie fodder. Unfortunately the only recent GM model i care for is the vette and with 50different versions of tracks, swerve, and ravage...i dont think we need anymore (i'd retract this if they decided to go in an odd direction and do the early 90's zr1)
