whatever, i'll take it. I just want to see the movie!

i think the face looks fine, they toy will have light piped eyes so that will correct that. but this head is closer to the design asthetic, slapping a traditional prime head on that body would be dumb

 

Make the head a darker blue and I think it works.

 

not me, but what do i know

So with these new pics out, I just thinking of something. I'll use g1 as the example, the bot modes were the same pre-earth vs. post-earth. It was the vehicle modes that changed. They are so closely intergrating the bot and vehicle modes by reducing kibble and streamlining the bots. I wonder how their pre and post-earth bot modes will differ. I doubt that Prime was a long nose semi with flames on it back on Cybertron. I'm just really curious how this will be handled.

i was thinking they would do a beast wars to us for most of it, and never let us see cybertron modes except for megs and bumblebee (if even bee)

Ok, this seals it....F*ck this movie.

 

There are very few constants in the world of Transformers over the last 20+ years:

Optimus always fights Megatron,

Starscream is always a backstaber,

and Optimus's head/face always has a familiar, iconic design.

 

Everything else is fair game.

 

THAT is appaling.

 

I can get over the fact that all of the bot modes have too much "guts" showing.

 

I can even get over the fact that they all have ridiculous feet (whatsupwitdat?)

 

I can't get over that face, CG elements or not.

 

 

IMO, if you can't get Prime's face and head right, you just don't care about the franchise.

 

I'm not a G1 purist and I don't care to have a live-action version of the old movie.

 

Making Optimus Prime look like he's giving the "Magnum" from Zoolander, however, is basphemy

Looks like crap and the designs make no sense, its akin to humans going into battle with our internal organs on display

um their insides are made of metal too

 

and? our skin is made of similar material to our organs too, we dont open up our bodies prior to war though. If these attacked earth I really wouldnt fancy their chances as it wouldnt be difficult to "throw a spanner in the works"

The "not armored enough" argument is the perfect example of complaining just to complain.

 

For once, I'm not thrilled. I liked the other pics of Prime's head better than this. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna write off the whole movie or declare Bay the raper of my childhood.

 

I'm gonna wait and see the movie.

 

I still love the design of everything from the neck down. :thumb

so you are saying that there is nothing that will make you support this movie at all now???

 

 

not to pick on you in particular, but your response is way to dramatic for a production pic from a movie that none of us have seen

I think there are fewer constants than you realize:

While the pics give a clear picture of what Prime looks like, I have to say that I'm a bit dissappointed with the face. It's not exactly as I pictured it would be (from the pics we have seen thus far). Hopefully the CGI will help.
