Transformers: ROTF Official Pictures Thread

Flareup used to be the posterbot on Cybertron for the medication Valtracks.

 

is this fan art? or is this the official CGI model?

 

Official i think, i found it over a TFW2005.

Edit: Found the source and yes it's official!

Looks too platic-y IMHO..... i think this could be a toy or a fan made sculpture


I think, i could (and probalby am) wrong.

Just edited my post, look one post up^

 

shaders.
in the 3d software you can tell the software to make it looks like a car material,brushed metal or you can make it look like plastic.
they use the cheap plastic materials for fast rendering.
so this could be the real model but with simple materials.

 

Fan made it seems, i just read the topic over on TFW2005.

 

That is Sweet!t:

 

If only some company would release movie accurate statues like that...

 

Agreed.t:

 

Perhaps is a brand new Optimus Prime without dust and the scratches from battle.

The last I heard was that the "Art of Transformers Movies" book was not going to happen, but I hope that’s wrong. There was a ton of great stuff made for the movie. My two favorite designs for the film didn’t make it in to the movie: a red constructacon by Ben Procter and a sports car by Ryan Meinerding. I had a design based on a submarine that didn’t make it, and I thought that was pretty sweet as well. Maybe for Transformers 3.

I wanna see these. The sub sounds sweet.

 

-_-

Flareup?
Thats the best they could come up with?

 

She is a "pre-existing" character.

http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Flareup

 

So they kept Arcee & Chromia's original color but went a different route with Flareup .... still don't like the name.

"
Flareup is an Autobot from a Timelines addition to the Generation 1 continuity family.

She doesn't need thirty-seven pieces to express herself


Flareup loves her job, and does it with a cheerfulness and zeal matched by few of her Autobot comrades. Unfortunately, her job is to blow things up, and thus her disposition is often considered by her comrades to be a little off-putting. More seriously, she tends to enjoy herself so much that she gets careless, and more than once, her colleague Chromia has had to pull her, quite literally, out of the fire.
Flareup originally trained in search and rescue under Firestar, but after it became clear she was better suited to more offense-oriented tasks, Firestar placed her in the care of her friend Chromia."

I know that its a pre-existing name.

I'm just saying that Flareup is a pretty lame name, in my opinion.

 

Combined Arcee concept!



The golden portion appears to be Flareup's section. Which is interesting, since the color certainly fits her non-film counterpart.

 

ugh looks like some kid just super glued a couple model bikes together. Still can't believe Bay chose this over the TF1 design. Compared to this the TF1 design looks like a masterpiece.

 

That bio just makes me all the more sad she got blowed up. Arcee too, but possibly not as irrepairably(sP?). Michael Bay can suck it for that...

 

I'm sure Flareup and Arcee would easily be able to return in the third. And I seriously hope Bay brings them back - I fell in love with they're crazy, asymmetrical designs.

 

Maybe Ratchet and Jolt fuse their parts together? Flarcee? LOL

I wouldn't mind it if one had the unicycle design, but all 3 seemed like a waste. EsPecially considering how great Arcee's scrapped design was for TF1.

 

I can barely see Chromia in the back...just that little blue bit.

I wonder if this means we'll be getting the Twins combiner concept soon?
