Aug. 19th, 2006 02:54 am...decided to make this its own post.
21) Finally, via The Allspark, TransFormers World 2005 has a look at prototypes for the movie TransFormers toys, which means that what we see in the movie ought to look something like this.
Guess the flaming longnose IS Optimus after all.
...and I can't say these enthuse me.
Starscream might be alright, but the head looks... like WTF.
The toy Blackout/Incinerator looks good, though the face reminds me of Beast Wars Inferno on the design sheet, only not.
Scorponok works, I guess. Wonder how the robot mode looks.
Optimus... if it weren't for the head, I'd never know it was him.
More than that, he looks like what I remember in various comics of TransFormers, including Prime, that have been ripped to pieces so you can see all their internals hanging out.
I just hope this stuff translates to film better than it does to paper.
Edit: Oh, and Mav just gave me this, showing the actual movie stuff.
...that's Bumblebee?
...is Megatron melting?
...hoo-boy...
Oh well, as long as they've got Peter Cullen as Optimus, they've got my money.

Date: 2006-08-19 06:41 pm (UTC)I'm of two minds. I kinda like seeing the 'cons looking kinda like hulking monsters. It fits them. As for the innards bit.. I guess this is trying to push the notion that the transformers are LIVING machines.. That, and some stylistic things just have to happen for the characters to look good on film. Not all good, not all bad.
The stylization on the Autobots is looking pretty weird...
