First look at Movie Jazz

Post by **Best First** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 9:33 am

Care of www.TFW2005.com - but you can probably guess that from the image tag.

Not sure how 'TF' this comes across to me but i'd say this is the coolest design i've seen so far IMO.

And, as an aisde - image tags! for ****s sake! Do you own it? no? Are you you obscuring it unneccessarily? yes!

Origianlly spotetd care of AutobotWarrior at the IDW Boards.

Nice design - not sure if its a transformer but nice design.

We were told that all the TF would transform using all the actuall parts of thier alt mode to form thier robot mode - this is for realism value.

how on earth does TF into a car from that robot form? - I can see loads of plates sliding and extending, or 'morphing' more then anything - essentially all those BS arguments over size shifting etc... were bollox.

My bottom line is this - I wouldnt know this was a TF unless u told me - to be honest, it doesnt shout "look, im also a car!" - it just looks like robot.

I can find other robots.

This is devestator ! - actually its from WH40k and is a 'tau - battlesuit'

This TF is called Bludgeon - actually its Guyver.

But, could u honestly tell they were not TF based on what we have seen so far? - non of them actually look like TF.

It looks very cool- but not very Transformerish.

That's pretty cool actually.

The style of this concept-art is reminiscent of Don F... could it be??!

I just realized something, the bots and cons are gonna look better in the comic-adaption than on the screen, no?

The body's much too bulky for Jazz, it might suit OP better especially with the grill on the chest.

this is deffinitely the best design I have seen so far. but how will any of these designs translate into toys?

can anyone actually visualise a transformation? - I can se loads of tiny plates spinning and sliding, essentially morphing into new shapes, whislt retaining the odd wheel or somthing.

All this talk of realism comes down to "Oh look, a wheel!" - but in all honesty its more removed from the slight size shifting of normall G1 transformers. - what aload of ****.

Well, I agree with both of you: Best design I've seen so far, but seriously, how hard is it to make a Robot that at least LOOKS like a car? Isn't the the whole point? To go, "Hey, look, it's a robot made out of a car", as opposed to, "Hey, look, it's a robot"

when the film was first spoken about there was alot of hot air spewing from Don's mouth about TF 'looking real' - essentially saying the orginal TF didnt look real.

Is it just me, but i find these new designs more un-beliveable then the old designs.

My two cents - agree, this is the best of the ones we have seen so far... but...

-firstly - the art is MUUCH different from the previous drawings and CGI renders. Thus, I'd hazard a guess this is fan-made using that one photo of Jazz that was leaked. Nice, nonetheless-

-second: Geez, will none of the TFs have a vaguely humanoid face?

Possibly... but better sure then sorry.

-And the third thing that came to my mind - if you were OP and had to send a scout on a mission to earth to locate an object of utmost importance, a mission that most likely involves first contact with the humans, would you send a scout who cannot speak, or your spec-ops officier, who is well-versed in alien cultures?

i'd send the guy who communicates using ****ING SONGS!

****!

Btw, do we know the name of Bay's designer? He seems to have a fixation with three-fingered claw-hands... so far all the Bots/Cons have it.
