Revenge of the Fallen Illustrator Paul Ozzimo has updated his online portfolio with a selection of new concept images from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. There is a detailed examination of the evolution of The Fallen’s design and some alternate takes on the evil Decepticon’s head, such as the cool Anubis / Decepticon symbol hybrid pictured to the left. There are also some concept sketches of Wheelie, the Kitchen Crew, and a couple of ‘bots who did not make the cut – a very cool looking Submarine Robot, now updated with some new views, and a Wheelchair robot.
Head on over to Paul Ozzimo’s site to check out his full online portfolio covering his work on a selection of movies, including but not limited to both Transformers films.

Facts
A: There is no such thing as the Aurora, officially.
B: Any picture you see of the Aurora is artistic license based on guessing.
C: He called it a stealth bomber, when the Aurora, if it does exist, is a recon plane.
D: You can see pieces of the F-117 cockpit assembly all over Earth Mode Fallen's groin.
Conclusion: The artist mixed up some names.

Agreed. I love the Takara art books, and I wished Hasbro would do more of the same. Paramount/Dreamworks needs to jump on this as well.

I'd love an art book of all this stuff.

I really like the design that wasn't used for the Fallen better. I'm fond of that Soundwave design as well, but I'd like to see it used for another character (or at least with the Soundwave head from RotF).
I think Chip Chase is envious of the chair design. Goodness, I miss him being used in TF fiction . . . .

OPERATION: PELVIC THRUST – ENGAGE
I just realised I find it too bad the Fallen never got that Earth mode..
shroobmaster
Nah I think I prefer to wait for tf3 when they'll release a promo cgi pic of SW in the most ridiculous pose possible.
Digilaut
You're right! But I think most of these were collaborations to begin with, and others were just pictures of other artists he placed next to it…I think that's different from this picture..probably means the Nizzi Soundwave head was never pasted onto this robot during production in the first place (makes sense, since this altmode was ditched, plus Soundwave's head got different as well).
But by all means, feel free to slap the other head on it and set it as your wallpaper, I guess. And much fangasm will occur
(on the other hand, the toy's robot mode pretty much resembles this picture already, just with some details changed..they even kept the car grill )
shroobmaster
Makes sense to me, but he DID feature many other artists in his gallery,
Digilaut
Oh yes..sorry about that.
Probably because what he posted was his full design. Why put somebody else's head on your robot? This way he can show everyone that full picture is by him.
Putting the 'final' Soundwave head on it is cool for the TF fans, but this is Paul showing his work, after all.

Please tell me this will all be in book for at some point.

I… I meant the picture inside the collection, not some watermarkibilized frankestien picture.

The Anubis head is a really cool idea, but I don't think it works too well..well, ok, maybe if they had refined it more it might have, but I think they made the right choice in ditching that.
Because it's not that great looking and he decided it would be better to post a couple of super-awesome pictures, rather than spam the whole website with concept art that's less good?
Quality over quantity, especially when you're a freelance concept artist trying to make a job.
shroobmaster
Why, thank you! Paul's site is kinda slow with all that flashy wish wash.
anywho, I wonder why he didn't post the final earth SW with Josh's head?

Mr knightmare
That left head IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!
If they ever make a toy that has that thing as a head I will buy 50 of them!!!

Bah, someone here who has a copy of that Jetfire design, along with the freeform crew? It wasn't included in the pics that TFW hosted.

I personally like the Anubis head – it makes more sense for the Egyptian interference mythos… and The Fallen was to be an Aurora, not an F117.
