Uhh...Optimus, ROTF Megatron (a more pointy version), Jazz (somewhat with the visors and everything), and Soundwave still has the Decepicon symbol head.

Sorry, but I honestly hope it's not "Old One Eye". He's too darn awesome of a character for them to not pay better tribute to his G1 incarnation.

And how is it possible to pay a better tribute to his G1 incarnation!? Its basically G1 Shockwave with a read eye, you cant get closer than that! I swear to **** you have nothing better to do than to complain.

Movie one Megatron had a few references as well, well just one, the Flail, but I far preferred his look to the bulky blob look of ROTF...
And yeah, how does it not look like him, they even made him PURPLE! I thought they wouldn't to be "realistic."

They've been using place holders since the first movie. Making a Robot sized replica for every character of that size is a waste of time and money.

I know its fan art but I till like some of the designs especially option 1 and 2

He will have a total of five lines, much like Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, or the Fallen. These lines will be written in a style that really has nothing to do with the "character" and could be interchanged with any generic bad-guy, save a few "illogical this" or "illogical that."

Remember how cool Devastator seemed like he could be? Then we got a pile of kibble (and bits) that got blowed up by a military laser gun thing.

I guarantee his body design will be a hot mess. He'll be in only a few minutes of the movie. He will spend that time stomping around growling. He'll probably chase Sam around. And then he will die in a most unspectacular fashion with zero emotional payoff.

I can say this with certainty- because that's how it's all gone down with the other two films, (The Fallen fight, really?), and I can't see them changing up a winning formula now. After all, millions of ticket buyers can't be wrong...
