However, for those who like looking at some great designs from the canceled Transtech line of toys, check out the Draxhall website here. It's been updated with a slew of concept images and design studies from what is being described as Transtech.
There are a lot of sketches to go through, and not all are Transtech, but if you look you can see some fabulous transforming futuristic military vehicles, and a particular robot mode that seems to reference a certain speech impeded sub-faction commander that we all love (Concept 2)!
Enjoy these sketches!
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Yes, that was who I was referring to. Concept 2 seems to resemble him very closely.

Very nice designs.
Whether or not they would have translated into a good series, and good toys is another question.

'Sobs'
I want this so much.
I'm liking the look of Animated so far. But this would've been kick ass.
At least give us a comic series people!

Hey, if the titanium series survived, Transtech could have lived again.

It's good they pulled the beast era when they did. Don't get me wrong, I loved Beast Wars, thats what got me back into TFs, but the characters ran their course, and Beast Machines was a fine farewell in my opinion.
It sewed up the story, and left an opening for an untapped future.
Still, I can't help but wonder what TransTech would have offered in said future, even though I think it's better left undone.
However they did seem to have some intresting ideas, and it would be nice to see were they where heading with that.
I don't know if it's been done, and if it hase please let me know, but maybe IDW could elaborate the idea as I doubt any toon series would. I'd like to see how it would play out.

How do you get rid of that bar so you can see the image?

IMO the toys wouldn't have lost much at all in the translation.
IDW needs to pick this up as a comic.

I think the bar may be one of their ways of 'safe-guarding' the images...maybe?

From what I can tell, there is no whole image on the site. Which sucks because I'd love to see the entire page of concept art.

I went through my cache and found a way to get the images.

it makes it hard since every image has a certain name instead of concept 1, concept 2 etc. and also what you see behind the bar is what you get since that is what the uploaded instead of just full pics.
I'll get the addresses to them all. hang tight.

Was just about to post the same thing. There is no larger image. The original art has been cropped so what you see is what you get. I got up to about concept 41 before I got tired. You can handle the rest purifyer. Also folks do not quote my post in it's entirety. We don't need 30 images popping up 20 times on a single page.

Thanks Muffin. I was going to post links to them all but I got tired so I found you can sneak into the directory so from here you can access a tree of all the images on the site. http://www.draxhall.com/draxhall/images/

Good find man. Never thought of just going up one level to view the entire directory. Dur on my part.

Not to worry. It took me awhile to realize. I thought they'd stop people from just accessing that directory.
As you can see by the image urls some times a number is skipped. I hope they upload the rest of the concept, notably since Optimus and silverbolt are missing. There's definitely more.

Purifyer, you are a cunning moinker.
But by the titles, it looks like the 'Grimlock' concept is actually an early version of Cheetor...
