Wasn't too sure if that was him or not. Had some details that made me think of Megatron as well, like a mix between the two.Bowspearer wrote:You left out Overlord.

That's "New Rodimus", not a Powermaster.xyl360 wrote:Whoa, Powermaster Rodimus Prime.

Thanks for sharing. Which Transformers Generation year is this book?

I would love to see more concept art of this nature, and of course toys.

Funny that you bring up Wildrider's head, just last night I found this article about the Stunticons, suggesting that Floro Dery worked off early toy designs of the Stunticons when he created their cartoon models. (Save for Motormaster.)
It explains why their cartoon-heads are so different than the finalised toy-heads. And how Dragstrip got his horizontal two-wheels shoulders.
Not really related to Prowl, but an interesting piece of trivia.

I dont know if the toys were created after the cartoon or vice-versa, But it was the release of Menasor and Superion that introduced the square head for all G1 combiner limb figures to come. That's why I hate when 3rd parties go with toy accurate heads and ignore cartoon accuracy. The heads were square for a reason and it wasnt to look cool.
Good thing we got the Go! toyline giving us just that.spiderbob007 wrote:The head reminds me of a samurai helmet.

Yeah, the toy molds for the four 1986 combiners were made before they appeared in the cartoon and comics, since they (and Metroplex's toy mold) were originally created for an aborted spinoff line of Diaclone called Jizai Gattai (but its toy molds were completed far enough in the design process to be rebranded into Transformers toys).Rated X wrote:The reason the stunticons toy heads are so different is because of 1986 combiner port technology that required square heads.

Exactly. They were planned for Jizai Gattai before Transformers.Bowspearer wrote:Firstly, the toy would have come before the cartoon design did as the diaclone line was well in production still in 1984 and concepts for the 85 line at the very least would have been well and truly in the prototype stage.
