The minor changes they made in this head sculpt help the design so much, it's not even funny. I mean, I loved the original concept art, but this is pure love. Also, the battle helmet rocks.

looks better than the previous version of it... downright Evil now!

looks way better now, now all he needs is a little color

i concore, better

as i've said in the three threads that i've posted in about this....

((@)))X((@)) WHOA!

Thanks for the post. Front paged the news with credit on TFormers.

The head definitely looks better than the initial design. It also seems like it would fit the toy's aesthetics as well. If this had been a design for a future TV show line, I think it would've been met with even more hatred. At least you've got the big payroll of a movie behind it, pushing it, but the movie's a one shot (for now) and when it's over, it's over. A TV series would drive this guy constantly...

So if we must go ugly, I'm glad it's in the movies, and not going to reoccur on a regular basis.

I think if it had been a design for a TV show, it would've been met with trumpets and applause.

very nice in an evil kinda way.

its perfect

*drool*

I just keep thinking of how Don Murphy kept telling the fandom not to get upset about WIP-Designs.
Sure enough - as we get closer to Opening day people are being much more accepting of the designs.

Now this may be that people are coming to accept them. But i also think that Murphy had a valid point.
Why would you judge something thats not finished??

Quite interesting. I like it. It looks more humanoid, yet monster-esque as well. It'll frighten somebody, and I still believe he eats babies for power.

The new "regular" head is virtually identical to the old "battle mode" head.

fans are just whining bitches is all

& the one ring to rule until all are one.

GOD DAAAAAAAMN!!!!

pure pure evil! I am one happy fanboy.....

that will give you nightmares......I love it

That is an excellent improvment upon Megatron's face. Perhaps you could conduct a comparison of the previous and the current?

Hmmm, got kind of a samurai thing going on there...head forks. Still think he looks like he'd eat your family and sexually abuse your car.

True true,there was far too much criticism too early on of this design. Then again, if there were never any leaked picas and therefore criticisms from those who saw it, (i.e. us) would things like this have been changed? For all we know the Producers may have been happy with the first designs we saw and the (constructive as opposed to Starscreaming) criticism from fans may have prompted changes. Not in the 'oh the fanboys don't like it so we'd better change it' sense but more of the 'actually what that guy said was pretty valid, maybe we should go for a slightly different approach' sense. Just a thought as to how it's possible some of the more insightful rather than hate-filled crits may actually be of some benefit. Whether or not they are I guess we'll never know.

Sounds about right.

Credit for this image belongs to Emerald Twilight over @ TFW2005.com

The right thing to do would be to edit the first post and the frontpage @ TFormers.com to reflect that.

I don't see a watermark on it.

I imagine it belongs to paramount myself?

Ok that is hell loads better than the first one!

No, but you can see the post times. He chose not to watermark it, but still posted it first. And he's shared multiple first looks at movie images in the past.



The ownership of the actual image? Of course. The credit for finding and sharing it with the community? That's all Emerald Twilight.

I sincerely hope his ego doesn't depend on a vague piece of interweb text that no-one pays attention too (And in the case of Watermarks, is rather annoying)

Sweet awesomeness.

\Happy.

Interesting.....

He could eat babies...or the devil...looks bad enough to.

Best Megatron headsculpt ever.

Eh, doesn't look too changed to me from the original prototype pic. It seems they took off a lot of that ghey metal on his face.

Might I remind you all that this thing runs on babies?

*shrug* Complete pass again here..

here is your real megatron face/helmet/transformation of 3 different modes.

i up loaded pic but dont see them
member mcrobo load as my picture to check
email me sochangerobo#hotmail.com if not able too

Oh dude that is so cool.

I think I just pooped my pants.

It's amazing.

The only thing that sucks more than the original, is the one they finished with.

They must have been wading up tinfoil all night to come up with that crap.

Did he ever even have a battle mode face?? I don't recall ever seeing it used in the movie... then again, with how much he was in it and how he blurred and jumped around everywhere, I probably missed it someplace.

He was in battle mode for most of his scenes. I only recall seeing his regular head when he was frozen.
