Concept artist Mark Brassington has shared some of the artwork which he was commissioned to do for Jagex’s Transformers Universe MOTA game.
The artwork includes a redesign of classic character Combaticon Onslaught, who has some Earth-mode cues taken from his Fall of Cybertron design. Other characters include an Autotrooper – you might remember them from the Kiss Players series, or their cameo in Transformers Animated which led to them getting a Botcon exclusive toy. The new Autotrooper seems to take a few cues from Fall of Cybertron Jazz – so perhaps scope for customizers there?
The lineup is rounded out by a trio of newcomers, named Bombast, Clearcut and Meltdown.

They need to add some flyers to the game. Everything so far has been ground combat.

Does Bombast remind anyone else of Hoist? No?

Are people aware that Meltdown isn't a newcomer?

Loving these designs.

I 100% agree on that! I would really love to see these guys in their own toyline. I've read all about them on the Jagex site, played with their transformations on the site and watched all the videos etc etc. These are really good looking robots. Fits in well with the TF Prime aesthetic but has something unique on its own
But sadly i'm sure Hasbro only have enough resources to produce 1 collector-focused "main line" such as Generations-Combiner Wars (IDW).

The Onslaught is wicked!
Transformed
All of these guys (even the ones not shown) need their own toy line. I really like Jagex's designs. I really enjoy how they found a way to make their designs blend well with Transformer Primes' designs.
I wish the brand moving forward looked like these works of art.

#4 looks very much like an homage to G1 Hound, no?
The color, grill, headlights, yellow detailing, the middle ridge on his head, etc…

I need 10 toys of that Onslaught. I need them now.
I want to see more Earthmode WFC/FOC designs.

Meltdown's stolen Prime Ratchet's head!

Onslaught & Auto Trooper looked pretty good.

Bombast is the long lost brother of Bulkhead. Clearcut almost looks like he could be a younger Kup or a buttbaby of his.
The illegitimate lovechild of Kup and Hound.
Like most TF designs, you can swap heads and colors and get a different character.

Very nice!
Onslaught looks great, so do the others.

^ Lets face it, almost all the characters in this game can be reused from existing molds. lol
Fallout
lol i was just about to say, maybe i'll rehead aoe hound and call him bombast haha

Good news, such a thing exists. Its called Prime Bulkhead or AOE Hound.
Onslaught appears like a fusion between his FOC Design, his 2008 Universe toy design, and as if he's just won a Doritos chip eating contest.
