AWESOME!
What I never got was, why did Wheeljack have all those car parts on him, but no scanned earth mode? I mean, the render was designed for a typical vehucle mode, obviously, and Bulkhead's all like, "Ive even got an earth mode for ya" and then he just leaves. It probably would have been easier for him to have had an earth mode in the one episode he was in. Plus, starscream looks beast. I Think they used that concept more for skyquake...

Cool art. Too bad Starscream lost his bulk, I like him better when he is a little more formidable in appearance. PLEASE let us get a Wheeljack figure that is even close to his Prime design! It is so full of awesome!

Arachnid had helicopter parts before she scanned the helicopter. It's probably because they didn't want to make a cybertronian AND earth mode for the show because it would take too long.

Concept Starscream's face look much better here. His final design was a little too decrepit and "old-looking" for my tastes. I guess the Orci/Kurtzman wanted him to be more sniveling and wretched rather than his traditional sinister, egotistical and treacherous self.

Starscream looks way better like this. Looks like he would transform into a Harrier Jet or something.

I agree. He looks good in this, plus his 'eyebrows' don't look ridiculous.
