It's like a helmet or something.  Like a part of his armor that he dons.

Yeap...its a helmet. This was also in the older DW reimagination of Jetfire.

Oh, so basically the VF-1S style helmet is actually part of the "Fast Pack" red armor haha.

That's interesting. It's Cartoon Skyfire but with armor that makes him look like the 1/55 toy.

Yeah i remember his first apperance in the DW Series. That was just pure genius IMO, it bridged the gap between Skyfire and Jetfire to make him one character. The great art by Don F. helped too.

Its also a reasonable explanation to why he had that face in the first place - aside from the current Armadaverse versions of Jetfire, most TFs don't have the VF-1S's distinctly smooth and relatively featurless head with the single visor strip.

Don`t tell me this is the movie version, if this true then they better cancel the project.

If that's a true conceptual sketch of the movie version starscream, I really don't know what to say. I wasn't totally expecting them to make the movie versions into live action counterparts of their G1 selves, but i also wasn't expecting this. He looks more like some kind of alien monster than a transforming robot. :huh:

I was told about the conceptual art and indeed, this is apparently Movie Starscream

:blink:

Well, that thing sure needs to disguise itself, alien monkeys tend to draw attention.

They can take the designs wherever they want (can’t expect alien robots to look very human like), but that Starscream looks more like a grunt. To generic IMO.

Maybe the Autobots will be more “friendly†looking for audiences to relate to as opposed to the evil looking bad guys.

It would also be incredibly fiddly and unfriendly to just about every potential customer ;) Hasbro has said they are marketing the moving toys in serveral tiers - the young kids (presumebly simpler toys), older kids (toys like we have now) and adult collectors (alternators-type).

I have now been told this is not one of the original Starscream concept arts, BUT it is based on what has been seen, and is VERY close to the real one. Just not drawn as well.

So yeah, its fan art of a concept.

Looks like the artists at Hasbro USA that came up with the crab designs in Beast Machines are doing this... sigh.

Why can't they just farm all the robot designs to Takara and then have the story written around that?

That's why I like machine transformers unless the animals play a specialist role. (ie something like scout in a jungle protecting a hidden base? A think a robot gorilla would fit here). The insecticons are a good example: I like that they were mainly a wrecking crew but weak overall. The whole theme of bugs/termites/locusts/pest destroying and eating valuable infrastructure/robot food source sounds threatening.

Animals < machines still imo.

Quick question:

Is there a list somewhere of everyone who's used Megatron in gun mode? Surely some fan's come up with one, but I couldn't find it. I ask because I know both Starscream and Skywarp have done it several times, and it'd be an obvious accessory for MP Starscream--but as I plan to get MP Thundercracker, I'd like to know if he's ever done it. (As they'll likely include the same accessories for all 3 regardless---except maybe the crown, that'd be really pointless for anyone but SS)

You know i don't ever recall Thundercracker using Megatron as a weapon, but it's been quite a while since i watched G1. As for a resource for information like this, the only thing i can think of is seibertron.com. I could have swore they had more comprehensive lists of all the characters before, but it still might be worth checking out as a long shot.

Is cwmodels jerking us around or what? I'm rather annoyed since that second one looks even more amatuerish which leads me to believe this is a hoax.

In one episode Optimus Prime uses him as a gun if i recall, that is why the MPC Prime comes with him in gun mode and in the episode Autobot Spike, spike goes crazy in a mechanical body and uses Megatron but at the last second turns against the Decepticons and shoots them instead.

Those comics are cool. Is there anyway i can get the bundle of all the issues at once? I heard that Dreamwave kicked the bucket somtime ago, wondering if it was still easy to get the comics.
