New Interview With Transformers Art Director Alex Jaeger

I agree. This is the type of stuff I like to see; Now if they could have just done MORE of that in the movie... I expected to see more of the surreal "Gerwalk" modes; Like in TFTM where Scourge's head pops out when he spoke to Galvatron, or Like G1 Prime only transforming his Legs so he can roll while still having his arms available for Smashing... Stuff like that. Maybe next time? Either way, all of the mechanics of the movie were right on point. I can't wait till they release the obligatory "The Art of Transformers" book, showcasing all of the Concept art and production designs and whatnot.

Wow! This joke is still relevant and funny!

Actually, that's the exact same thing I was thinking... The guy certainly is a good designer, but it would have been nice if the robots would have looked slightly more familiar... These aren't what I (as just another fan) feel Transformers should look like. It would have been good if he forgot the "great" Hollywood style of designing things, and looked at Japanese mecha designs instead.

Sure, I know this subject has been beaten to death already, but it's still the only thing I was disappointed with in the new movie...

The designs are Transformers through and through.Glad they werent any other way.

And it's nice to see interviews with designers, guys who have spent a huge chunk of their life doing this stuff, and explaining why they do it that way. Of course, some people will not accept that, to bad.

really cool. Yea, I can't wait for the ARt book too. I like his idea of keeping to scale the actuality of the transformations. The cartoon transformations would have never translated well enough into reality.

Nice!!! Keep The Artwork CGI's Coming, Wanna See Artwork for Brawl

All I'd ask this guy is "How much did Beast Wars and HellRaiser inspire you?"
