Not the best, but this is my version of Starscream, I mean if Prime can resemble Prime, then I think it should carry on to the other well known characters...
this is just a silly mock up, it's not the best I know, but it represents what most of us are looking for:

Its not bad at all, If only Starscream can look something like that in the movie. :)

Whoa! Arcee's gonna love this guy!!
 
Hell, put that head and those legs on the new Starscream...and make the arms less ape like in length and that would be good enough for me. Not that I wouldn't prefer a design like this but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
 
While it looks very cool we all know now that Bay's designers are going for a more alien looking robot with very angular design. Not saying I agree with it, I wish he could look exactly like Masterpiece Starscream but oh well, its not like it can be changed.
 
They're going for an more unearthly design by making them look like earth bugs:up:

Lol...makes you think. If aliens did come to earth would they look like anything from Earth? I'm thinking that they might be beings of pure energy...either that or big walking pieces of poo.

Or we might through some fluke of nature actually be a very successful evolutionary form, and the universe will be like Star Trek and all aliens will look similar to humans.
 
What I don't understand is, why do Autobots look normal and Decepticons have to look like ****ed up metal freaks?

They are all Transformers, just because one fraction is Evil they have to resemble Insects? Why? Because people would be too stupid to tell who's evil and who's not?
 
I just hope that Starscream won't resemble that toy prototype. Its a prototype for a reason, and trust me, with any design there were 40 that came before its final incarnation.

I just thought that the "Insect" Starscream, realistic or not, is just an inferior design to the 80s version. Period. If they use it, my question would be this: Why give Scream such an uninspired design and give Blackout a better design?
 
While thats very cool and all that,

1. Have you worked out how it transforms?

2.The design would be out of place in the movie. It just doesnt fit. It would fit in the G1 cartoon yes, but the movie designs are nothing like that.

3. Im gonna make it clear, I have no problem with the robot modes (except for the moment starscream as he just looks stupid.). The reason the bot modes look so different from the cartoons is simple, have you ever tried posing the the toys? You can get away with crossing the arms of a character in the cartoon as you just draw it that way, but try crossing the arms of your design. He cant. He would just look ackward and this is why Bay and co. have gone with the 'endo skeleton' approach. Its the only way to keep them from being clumsy.


*prime still should have been a flat nose hahaha*
 
I found this in the pictures thread.....

Found this at transformersmovie.com message boards.

The following message comes from Brian Goldner, COO of Hasbro.

"Please let the people on the board know that any grey models they have seen are VERY early forms of toys and will be revised and changed, and will gain tremendous detail as they move toward finished products...

thanks and regards,

Brian Goldner"

I found this on tfw2005.com so I guess this may be good news.
 
Even if the prototype we saw isn't the final design, which I pray to god it isn't, how is it possible that something that hideous was able to see the light of day in the first place?

Did they start building prototypes with the thought in mind to make it as ugly and unrecognizable as humanly possible? Just for the heck of it? I mean we get Prime that looks like Prime. But Starscream looks nothing like himself. If they wouldn't name him Starscream people wouldn't even be able to tell who he is.

go and look at the ROTS dvd and look at the process of designing the aliens. They build several models and Lucas comes in and picks the one he likes...it's the same here. Several prototypes are made and then the one Hasbro, Bay, DW likes is picked

Uh... not really. All he did was to take Starscream from "Transformers: Cybertron" and add the parts of a Jet. If he'd actually designed that Starscream all by himself then I would agree.
 
yeah he looks like the cartoon to a point but if he were knocked down he would never get back up he can't even sit down with that jetnose sticking straight down. he has to be fuctional as well as good to look at.
 
^True enough. You never did see them sit or anything on the show. While people are going insane over new designs, you have to take actual real world physics into account.
