i love his futuristic car designs, dont think those would look good on the street but for a cool sci-fi movie definately. and that batcycle at the end looks to be in the same style as the batmobile from Batman Forever, wonder if that was a dumped design for the movie.

Woah! Devastator was not the largest thing they intended to put in the show... That submarine picture thing is huge Me want to see that in the third one!

[Jetstorm92210]

Wait a sec... The Fallen was actually going to turn into something but was scrapped? THAT MAKES ME ANGRY!!!! He and Ravage have some of the worst Alt modes I have ever seen. I really hope Hasbro makes another version of The Fallen that DOES turn into something like in that concept art.

[Megatron Wolf]

I think thats the worst rendition of Soundwave ive ever seen. Now im really glad he didnt get an earth mode in the film.

I believe the submarine thing you were referring to was the ship from Watchmen. As for The Fallen design. I F***ING LOVE IT. That is the way he should have been and dammit HasTakTom needs to make a figure for him that looks like that. It's beautiful. They also need to make that Scrapper figure and a Hightower. GET ON THE BALL YOU GUYS!!!!

[Jacob P. Galvatron]

Soundwave is fail.
Scrapper is cool.
And, was that Brawn?

As someone who isn't crazy about The Fallen's design in the movie, I can say that I love the full body concept art for The Fallen on the site. It's much more angular. The face design is more menacing with a feeling of aggressiveness due to the triangular shape whereas the chosen design for the movie looks like an African shield stuck on the neck of a robot.

The concept for Soundwave is...odd.

I really like his alternate concept art of The Fallen, and I'm really curious what his alt. mode would have looked like. The movie version doesn't quite work as well for me. The Decepticon submarine blows my mind with how huge it looks.

Call me crazy, but lookng at The Fallen on there, and you mentioning his angular look made me go back and take a look at him again. And I'm wondering if he wasn't supposed to be a F-117 stealth fighter or something.

Evidence - He has numerics on some of his panels. His thighs have a lot of angled "teethed" panels on them, like you would see on the landing gear doors of stealth aircraft. His crotch area looks like the split apart canopy of a F-117 (pointing down), along with the FLIR (forward looking IR) system mounted on the front of that aircraft. And his feet have small wheels, like aircraft wheels.


Edit-the size feels wrong to me though. I'd imagine him being bigger then a F-117, like B-2 size.

[Zeds]

Fallen looks sharp. LITERALLY!

[YRQRM0]

AWESOME!! The Fallen looks AWESOME!!! That 'con submarine looks pretty menacing, too. I'm geussing that was the original way they were gonna get to Megatron...to see that thing fall from the sky and smash into a carrier on the way would have been incredible

And that Constructicon next to Soundwave....it's ze little one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must be crazy too! My first thought of seeing the concept of The Fallen was "Looks like a flying wing in robot form.". I'd say a B-2 would be roughly the right size but I'm not an airplane expert.

really cool artwork.... i hope they release an artbook of the movies

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

And the Fallen did have a transformation, so now the blame for this foul shifts back to the director. So what the hell happened Bay? What.....the.....hell.

I would agree the transformation would have been that of the B-2, though the Stealth fighter and Raptor seem to be roughly the same in terms of mass. And Megatron, Starscream, and the Fallen seem to be equally high...so I would say it could go both ways.

Oh God was that Soundwave? Oh dear, now I'm glad he stayed in space.

Looks like the final battle was much more interesting in the concept stage, judging by what's on the Church site.

And what the hell is that standing on the carrier deck, attacking it on the Nizzi page??

[tom brokaw]

And what the hell is that standing on the carrier deck, attacking it on the Nizzi page?? ....

upon further inspection, it looks like the submarine. maybe it was supposed to transform, but instead bay had it destroyed by megs to cut corners....?

.... also on nizzi's page, i noticed that the concepts of the original primes/fallen heads resemble a pharaoh headdress.... see a resemblance?:

I think that's the Fallen in his earth form that is attacking the aircraft carrier, not the Decepticon submarine transformed.

Dunno, especially after there are images of what the Fallen would have looked like in his Earth form....the Sub bot is too big for one and a different mode for second.

And I for one would have preferred this to Devastator. Pure and simple. Slap the name Tidalwave on this bot and it's an instant win.

Also, didn't know they had Feng do some takes as well. Feng is an interesting artist, but his concepts are a bit too out there for this franchise. Maybe if it was another franchise all together or just an original concept all it's own. The T-Rex arms in the Fallens neck are just too freaky for a Transformer. Maybe not for an insecticon though.

Church's site is great, he's an awesome environmental artist. I just didn't like his interior art of the Nemesis. Too Geiger (The artist who designed "Aliens"). Still, fantastic though.
