You know, if this wasn't a Transformers movie I'd probably love those designs. However since it is a Transformers movie, all I can say is BLECH. I mean, what was wrong with the original designs?

Wow, looks like Todd Morasch (sp? The artist from Bastion Press) designed those.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

Is it just me, or does Megatron's mouth look like a rectum with shark teeth?

I'd still rather see a Battletech movie...

Done and done! Crash and Burn!

ironically this little "gem" is written by the same hack who wrote the just released "Covenent" movie.

And Robot Jox! so good it had a sequel!

All have the same producer, Charles Band. That same brillant mind that brought us Shanda: The Jungle Girl and Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys

Too bad he's not working on this Transformers movie gig, maybe he's uncredited.

Personally, I really like these visuals. They are super cool. I really like Megatron, very techno and Lovecraftian at the same time.

It looks like every part of the vehicle mode of a Transformer is shown in their humanoid form. I wonder if the transformations didn't look right without a ton of stuff in the humanoid form, or if someone got carried away.

I think that makes it more realistic, No disapearing parts.

I dunno, I remember my toys looking like the transformers on TV and they didn't have dissapearing parts.

I dunno, I remember my toys looking like the transformers on TV and they didn't have dissapearing parts.

The toy didn't take into account the engines, shafts, torques, suspension systems, gas tank, electrical systems and all the tiny little parts that makes your car go. It's kid-powered.

I gotta admit, though, Optimus does look naked. If he wasn't a machine, I wouldn't put a DR value on whatever took for his armor.

As for Megatron, well, looks like a child of a Borg and a Predator (or Dracula from Blade III: Trinity). But then he is supposed to embrace his alien root, even if it makes him less human than his previous incarnations. One drawback though: how can he be a Decepticon -- based on the word "deception" -- if he goes around looking like an alien jet?
