Alternate Lockdown, Hound & Drift Designs - TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION

First!!lol

Terrible stuff. A beard on a robot?...stupid.
I know it's supposed to give him a personality but it's distractingly bad.
Why do they design these with all that over the top detail?

They don't look cool at all..not Transformers but TrashBots.
A real good design team would realize keeping it simple is better.
The mech on Pacific Rim bots look much better,these films don't resemble true Transformers at all.

Can't deny it.
Bay's team hires excellent artists.

The end product may not be good, but the talent involved with the art aspect is top notch.

I actually like the beardless hound with the army looking helmet more than the one they went with.

Yeah dont get the beard thing, the designs in revenge of the fallen really pissed me off though - Old man with a cane, Urban twins and Big Balls.

Feel sorry for the people that had to go in to work everyday and render those things.

What happened to my comment? Like I said, what redesign? It still looks like junk and you can't redesign junk. Except for the samurai. He actually looks good.

SUCKER RAN LONG DIDN'T IT? I LIKE THE MORE ROUNDED DESIGNS, I AGREE THEY SHOULDVE KEPT OLD CHARACTERS INSTEAD OF KILLING THEM OFF..MY THING IS WHY DESIGN THEM TO LOOK LIKE EARTH STUFF LIKE THE SAMURAI OR THE TRENCHCOAT OR WHAT..THEY'RE ALIENS WITH THEIR OWN PLANET THEIR OWN CULTURE, THEY ONLY APPEAR LIKE CARS TRUCKS PLANES WHATEVER TO HIDE.

Galvatron and Lockdown are my 2 favorite characters in the movie. Wish we could have seen more of Galvatron.

Facial hair on TFs had been present since G1.

^^Thank You. Nuff said.^^

Yeah, [frick] all this high quality detailed shit. Give the fans what they want...

TRUCKS WITH LEGS!!!!

I don't know, Bays an idiot.

Exactly, the cartoon autobots had what looked to be real hair. Hair for humans is just dead cells, and the movie version is what looks like old dead wire; so i think it was a nice touch.

Mock robot facial hair made from wiring. Robots with actual hair on their faces.

Bay wins this one.

I am not one of those people that are so distraught that they don't look exactly look the G1 designs. Lockdown was cool, Hound was I guess? A lot of metal just swinging and moving. With that said, the design team, Michael Bay or whoever was pitching these designs are lazy or hasn't been on the internet to read ALL criticisms about prior designs.

Stop with all these generic stereotypes, seriously. Drift can easily be hinted at as Samurai without all the over-the-top Samurai stylings he had. Keep Ken WantawannaWhateverHisNAme is as the voice actor, keep all the swords, and his personality. Also, you pick the German-made Bugatti Veyron as the vehicle? If you wanted to go all out for this stereotype, why not have him as the Nissan GTR? Makes a lot more sense. And I love it, they finally decided they're going to commit to this notion of the Deceptions not having personalities, every single one looks alike/they are all the same and they achieved that with this film... I mean, Michael Bay movie.

Too bad they didn't go with the second photo for Hound, I think it's perfect.
