Sideswipe Fan Art

Thanks to Millertalon for finding the below fan art (probably anyway) that shows a great design for Sideswipe.

Fan-Made Optimus Prime Posters

In another attempt to pass off fake posters as real, two posters that show Optimus Prime have hit the web. As "Josh" over at TFW2005 forums noted, the images are taken directly from Blur Studio's Transformers: The Game (video). Still they look pretty good, not bad for a screen saver or something. Thanks to Slushie Man for the link.

Deconstructing Motormaster

From Jester, creator of many TF concept art, is the below videos (used the high quality versions below) that show Motormaster concept art being assembled from its individual components. Both show the same footage but the second one has a different background, camera angle and motions. Overall very cool and much more detailed work then I previously thought.

Bay Comments on Shia's Accident

Michael Bay has posted on his forums about Shia LaBeouf's accident. While Shia was driving drunk, the accident was the result of the other driver running the red light which led to injuries including one on his left hand that required surgery and will sideline the actor for the next month.

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen :

The car crash with Shia is unexpected, but we are still filming. The movie has not shut down - there is plenty to do without Shia. The shooting is also going great - I'm having a blast making this movie! Shia will be back soon and we wish all wish him a fast recovery.

I guess that means that the schedule did have to be altered to accommodate Shia's injuries. I wonder what changes where made and did any of them include stunt or slight story adjustments. I am a big fan of "Sh@# happens" but hopefully Shia will not invite greater frequency of that by driving drunk again. Thanks to Rich for the link.

The hilarious picture above is courtesy of Jester of the Motormaster, Tumbler, Trailbreaker, and Jetfire creations.

Update: It seems that despite all the teasing for Shia's drunk driving, he was behaved responsibily after the accident despite being hurt:
According to Access Hollywood, witness Brian Perrulli reports "Shia was tending to the other people in the car, signing over information, like insurance and stuff and basically, I overheard the guy tell him, ‘You should just get out of here and go,’ and Shia said, ‘Nah man. I gotta deal with this. My license plate, it’s my car. I don’t wanna go, I gotta deal with this.’” Brian claims he heard the man from the other vehicle, who has not yet been identified, say he would cover for Shia. “The guy Shia hit told him, ‘You should get outta here,’ and ‘I never saw you.’ He said, ‘I never saw you,’ and Shia said, ‘No, man, I gotta stay here and deal with this. It’s my problem”. The Brian guy went on to say Shia did not seem intoxicated, “He looked more disoriented and shocked more than drunk. I wouldn’t have thought he was drunk."

Hopefully this will be the last bit of news on the accident unless new info comes out about its impact on Transformers 2 production.

Motormaster Fan Art

Jester and Jolin have returned, this time with G1 Stunticons leader Motormaster redesigned movie style. The alt mode is a Peterbilt 389 with Trailer. I like the heft and power that is conveyed.

Fan Made Batman Tumbler Concept

In a celebration of The Dark Knight coming out this Friday comes a very interesting concept from Jester and Jolin. Batman's Tumbler that transforms into an Autobot. I really like the Batman specific motifs like the head that is shaped like his mask, the chest logo and the belt buckle. Excellent work.

Trailbreaker Fan Made Concept Art

From Jolin and Jester, the team that brought you the Jetfire concept art, comes the below Transfan made concept art of Trailbreaker. His vehicle mode is a Chevy Tahoe Offroad Edition. Whether or not Trailbreaker is going to be in TF2 is unknown but this piece of work makes a good argument for his inclusion.

Jetfire Fan Concept Art

From "Jolin" and "Jester" over at the Don Murphy forums comes the below Transfan made concept art of Jetfire based off the SR-71 Blackbird alt mode. It’s a pretty damn good design that gives off the impression of power. Click their names for more art and other things. Thanks to Rich for the info.
