transformer toy prototypes

possible prototype Transformer-movie toys revealed online [via/via]:

no, the images you see above are not made-in-china bootleg-toys (*heh*) = they are "apparently" prototypes toys (with no paint-apps) for the upcoming Transformers-movie (scheduled to release 2nd June 2007) = which i personally think reinforces (and reminds us) that tis all "plastic toys" at the end of the day, dunnit? *LOL*

the list:
(A) the odd-one out amongst the "vehicles" is Scorponok (film image revealed here)
(B) police car Barricade
(C) Jazz pontiac
(D) Bumblebee camero
(E) Brawl tank
(F) possibly Bonecrusher, but looks nothing like the movie-version (Buffalo) ... or mayhap this series may not be movie-accurate, innit?

well, so far all we get to see are Transformers-in-vehicle-mode (except for Scorponok) but if this preliminary Blackout-sculpt is any indication? i might just start picking up Transformer-toys, innit?

but don't hold your breathe, gentle-readers ... the last time i actually bought one was a near-lifetime ago:

*heh*

now, i've not featured any of the current leaked "proto-forms" of the Transformer-toys (shown in full-glory here+here), becoz i don't really feel nor care for them (but that's just me) and looks way too Beast-Wars-ish for my taste - and this image (from tfw2005-board member "Mike") basically sums it up for me:

*bwahahahahaha*

but what i really liked were these designs, which until
now, no one has been able to confirm whether they are
actually movie-toys, or just Transformers-related only:



sponsorship/product-placement-heaven, innit? way cool if they were actually ordinary everyday devices/machines come to life in the aftermath of "Allspark" (as hypothesized by forum-folks) and become spies / scout-bots, gathering intel for the "invading" Decepticons! yes, that would be cool, IMHO and i personally might consider getting these "true-sized" toys (if they be) and in a weird way, somehow seem more "real" too, IMHO *heh*

more leaked cgi-design sheets of Transformers

finally after a flood of Transformers proto-type toys-imagery (still more to come!), we get to see a few more leaked design drawings - ala CGI Design Sheets [via/via] - which i have photoshopped here:

Decepticon Starscream looks rather bulky and menacing in this design (too bad the toys have been looking pretty disappointing, IMHO):

*view more after the jump*

no toy-images so far but Decepticon Bonecrusher looks set to be a brawler:

added new:


and check out Decepticon Soundbyte which has been renamed Frenzy:

[original image] and looking like a pile of chicken-bones, innit? *smacks palm on forehead* *LOL*

and finally the lone Autobot Ironhide (getting to be another fav of mine)

bonecrusher transformer decepticon

CBR reports of an actual military armoured vehicle having an Decepticon-role in the upcoming Transformers movie, as "Bonecrusher" = and with a name like that, the Autobots' got their work cut out for them!

(images previously blogged here and with hi-res versions on CyborgCommando's flickr-set)

from a Constructicon-bulldozer to a 23-ton mine-clearing behemoth, Bonecrusher is actually "Buffalo" ~ made by Force Protection Inc. (check out the videos on their site)

and why is this all here? becoz i reckon this'll be one of the more popular toys (if it gets made, that is) from the live-action movie - there's something about bulky macho-vehicles that grabs at youngster's imagination tho? IMHO of coz *heheheheh*
