New Prime lip photo

Postby Sentinel Pax » Thu May 03, 2007 9:50 pm

There is an interview over at the LA Times with some new pictures, including a still frame of Ironhide and a new picture of Prime's lips. The Prime one is the one on the left with just Shia.

Here's the address.

Looks like from near the end, Prime looking kinda beat up there.

He looks so different with and without the mask!

The lips make Prime look a lot more human, I guess that will help him emote to an extent.

He reminds me of like some ancient Egyptian or something, it's really bizarre.

Still, can't wait to see the movie!

Lovin Ironhide!

Its the photo that shows Shia with the Allspark and says "Mere Mortal Giants" under it. Hopefully, there's not anything wrong, or else I'll be one very shamed Transfan.

Thanks, Bender Prime. I wasn't sure how to put the images in the original post, so I just linked to the page.

They don't look that bad from the front. But I would still like to see more then a still image, and a rough 2 second video that shows it from the side.

Judging by the pic of Ironhide (who looks awesome IMO)it looks like the transformers have projectile weapons (like missles) as opposed to lasers like the cartoon.

Wow. He looks good, even without the faceplate.

I cannot wait any longer. I'm going to snap.

He looks good. I feel the lack of faceplate makes him look somewhat younger.

Ooh, Prime looks sexy there with his full lips! ;;)

Seems like Prime isn't keeping on his trademark mouthplate all the time, though.

Front paged and credited!

And holy crap, those lips looks so horrible. That combined with the flames... I guess the movie Prime is truly dead to me now.

I pray more faceplate and less lips still because the faceplate is a Prime Trademark...

i think mouth for talking, face plate for battle. I always wondered how does Prime or Soundwave eat/ drink energon..
Shockwave has a reactor inside so he had his own power source.

Nope, don't like an exposed mouth on Prime. Lips are for Primal. And if they can give Prime a humanish face, why not Starscream, Bumblebee, etc?

That's what I don't understand. I don't dislike any of the designs really, but I don't understand why some of them look like a completely different species to others.

human faces for the good guys to better make them seem "human" and relatible. while the villians will always look less human oe larger then life. it's basic super hero supervillan 101

Speaking of Ancient Egyptians, he looks a little like Apocalypse from the X-Men Comic Books.

It doesn't look terrible, but it's still a terrible call adding lips. It's like giving superman a big Q on his chest.

Kind of like when people look younger when they shave off their beards?

If the bigwigs thought the lips were so damn cool, then why doesn't a single piece of merchandise, promotional material or toy we've seen have Prime with his mouth?
