Cheers for posting it again Smooth, I suppose.

But doesn't anyone else see it, that I think he's on his back, and we're seeing the back of his head, hence not being able to see his face?? :eyebrow:

I wonder whether BB will be upright in this scene, or comatose as he is here?
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Looks nifty.

Also nice to see that there will be live action TFs, and not all cgi.

To be honest, I think they've made him look a bit like a ****.

I dont know...

Who remembers the pre-production CGI promo from the san diego comic-con?

I bet they look a lot like those models in the end. I personally thought they looked a bit cack.

Funny thing is, from what we've seen of this piccy and from the (albeit very short) teaser their proportions seem very off. Whereas the TF's always had mostly human like proportions, they now seem to have far more in common with Robocop II:

Personally I'm not bothered too much one way or the other, but it seems a bit of a stylistic change. Ho hum.

Yes, that is what I fear they will look like. I personally dont think that look is good for TFs at all. In fact, I think it is cock piss Partridge.

I liked the car brothers, they were kool. But they were still clean and proportional.

They were also a different part of TFs.

As I understood it, this is supposed to be a nostalgia propoerty isn't it? if it isn't, why not just cock all the names off and have a film about random transforming robots. I worried that there wont be much resemblance AT ALL to the characters I care most about, i.e. the original G1 versions of the bot cars.

I also cannot see how it is conventional for a robot to walk around with his tits hanging out - ****** cover your mechanics in armour mate! Dont make sense that you'd allow possible harm to be done to yourself cheaply by dangling all your stray wires.

Yar, they do seem a bit... well, like they've been half-dismantled or they've just walked out of the back of a Radioshack.

I'm thinking those potential pre-designs for Starscream (in which he looked like a robotic orangutan) may not be too far off.

If they f***** up Godzilla, they can f*** up a transforming robot.

Cock piss Partridge. That's my new phrase!

Well, I wouldn't exactly be overimpressed if they used those concept designs. Lousy Michael Bay...
