More Floro Dery Transformers Concept Art: Quintessons, Mini-Unicron

It says "First version of Quintesson."

Mini-Unicron is terrifying. Have to wonder if that was some early inspiration into having Minicons be Unicron dandruff + his Armada toy's pack-in being a tiny moon guy.

wow. those colours. no wonder there was a war on drugs in them days.

oops my bad! but i wished we got the humanoid Quintessons in the movie rather than having just floating heads with seven different faces and personalities.

In that early script draft that hit the web via Disciples of Boltax in 2010, they were actually both. They started out humanoid, but with robes concealing most of their bodies so that you only saw the face that was rotated forward at the time, using the death mask only when ordering an execution/announcing a verdict. Then, when attacked by the Dinobots, they escaped by blasting their "heads" off of what were revealed to be just puppet bodies, their actual form indeed being the most familiar one.

So, I think that's what this humanoid version is supposed to represent, rather than a different type of Quint with a different function. (Has someone been able to decipher all of that text?) Considering the scale inconsistencies the Quints suffered in the cartoon, I wonder just how big the humanoid puppet form was supposed to be; could be anywhere from standard TF to gestalt size.

Update on the book:

My nephew, Kuest, is working during his spare time preparing that book. My daughter is just waiting for him so that she can edit it. There are simply many information needed to be incorporated in every design, and there are hundreds of designs.

Always awesome artwork from Floro.
i just wish the Transformers prints weren't out of my wallet size.
Excellent work regardless.

Unicron's horns look so big and fat that they look less like devil horns and more like Wolverine's hairdo.

And what's with the "sliding into homeplate" pose?

Fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath keeps an eye on the activities of concept artist Floro Dery, the mind and hands behind several setting of the original Transformers: The Movie (1986). The latest print offered is the artist's recent rendition of the Chaos Bringer, Unicron (not the actual art used for the movie) - check it out below, and head here to purchase this wonderful piece of art!

MY 2014 VERSION OF UNICRON

Unicron rips Cybertron apart as Autobot and Decepticon warships attack. Also shown are Mini-Unicron and the five moons of Cybertron.

So reading the description, this isn't actual concept art from the movie, but seems to be something he did last year.

Yeah, I edited the story to have that be clearer.

He doesn't strike me as eccentric to be honest. At least no more than your average artist. He's very imaginative. Always interesting to read where he draws inspiration from.

It's amazing how Floro's new work looks good as as ever.
