Weibo user TF-Factory has released several artwork for the new Transformers Evergreen designs we saw yesterday. These artwork (known by Hasbro as ‘Pretengineering’) gives us a good look at back and side views of Evergreen characters such as Wheeljack, Soundwave, Starscream, Barricade, Grimlock and many others.
Check out the images, after the jump.

also when do you think there will be higher resolution images of the characters?, just wondering since I'm planning on modelling some of them and I've already done Starscream

Now Starscream is the perfect size for megatron to kick like a football whenever he steps out of line. lmao
Digger
Wait where are these sizes coming from?

is this picture confirmation that the romeo and juliet law guy from aoe is in cyberverse, too?
Cosbydaf
so I whipped this up in a few minutes to see how it would look
(using Red Goblin's movie chart as a base)
Man that looks weeeeeird to see Starscream so short. I hope 17 is a typo and it's supposed to be "27 feet tall". Otherwise, he's going to have a very hard time overthrowing Megatron hahahaha.

Bumblebee and Starscream now have the same height, and Windblade is either too shy or too agressive to be measured.

I still have some dupes from Classic Badges (wanted to get the whole set from random packs, had to trade for the final card), but not much else. Was really lucky with Dark Wonder – got 8 cards, 3 of them dupes, then traded all dupes 1-1 for the missing cards.
SilverOptimus
That's exactly what I noticed. When I wanted to exchange for a Swoop I noticed exactly the same thing. They just get them to exchange for a very rare item from another franchise.
Unfortunately I only have thousands of Evergreen cards which I got from opening Classic Badges, Dark Wonder and Concepts.
Oh that's another issue I'm having: Out of hundreds of Dark Wonder/Classic Badges/Concepts packs I opened, I only got one or two cards. It's virtually impossible to obtain all without trading and the traders have high demand and will deny even if you have 2nd Edition items of the items they want.
Arvegtor
It's getting crazy. First hard to obtain but still farmable Orion Pax, then Swoop that was gone after at most several hours, now this. And it seems that most of them go to people who don't want the items themselves, just to trade them for something totally different.
SilverOptimus
It was all sold out within seconds. I wonder if anyone from the boards bought them.
Arvegtor
Can anybody share pictures of today's Bayformers cards set (reverse side)?

Oh my God, just give it up, man! You are literally trying to say that everybody grew up on G1 and that the G1 fans are responsible for everything being the way it is. Not everyone grew up on Transformers. I know it's hard for you to believe that, but it's true. Beast Wars also happened because G1 was failing. Hasbro had to reinvent the brand to keep it from dying, that's a known fact. If you don't like that your precious 80's cartoon and toyline didn't carry everything to the present day, that's on you. Don't come in here trying to shove that false idea in our faces.

And I’m done with this conversation now since you clearly don’t understand how ignorant it is to over generalize an entire generation of fans. Also how exactly is my math crummy? You said g1 fans were 5-13 and you said 10 years later, 5-13 plus 10 equals 15-23. Maybe you should learn math if you think that’s crummy math

Don’t be mad g1 made beast wars happen in every way. If a boy was 10 years old in 85, he would have been 21 in 96 when beast wars came out. If he had kids then he could have easily been buying the tail end of beast machines for his kids. Generally at that time, many people become parents in their 20’s. G1 fans bought the following lines for their kids. Even by your crummy math the g1 crowd had to have bought toys for their kids at sometime. What a lot of younger fans fail to realize is the impact shows like transformers gijoe human and others had because they were on every day after school. Beast wars while a good show did not have any where near that social impact being on at 5 am.
Fenrys
again, an over generalization. my parents were born in 53 and 55. i was born in 87. i spent my allowance money on transformers by choice, they never pushed anything on me and they couldnt have given 2 shits about what toys i was buying. and your math is kind of cruddy, 15-23 year old parents buying toys for their kids? you either overestimate the procreation rate of children of the 80s or you overestimate the wages a highschooler gets
Terradives
Fans of the g1 toon were 5-13 for the most part. 10 years later during beast wars, bm,rid armada Energon cybertron, these were the parents buying toys for their kids. Thank the fans of g1. They’re the ones buying kids toys. Most of them aren’t in the fandom. But they did get exposed to transformers and probably thought they were cool.
Fenrys
Care to elaborate? neither of my parents were ever in to transformers and I chose to spend my allowance on beast wars. I was born in 87 so I had very little exposure to g1 or g2, so the assertion that parents of bw fans or newer series were fans of g1 is what is ridiculous
Terradives
Ridiculous.
Fenrys
Prime bulkheads design has little in common with animated bulkhead. They’re both fat, green and have similar heads, that’s it. Different vehicle modes, different personalities and different weapons (one was more mace like and one more like a Morningstar)
Not in my case, you probably shouldn’t generalize like that
Rid2001 optimus prime is technically a name slap since he wasn’t created or designed to be optimus prime since he was created originally without hasbro input
