With the Bumblebee Movie already on theaters, several artists have started to share some great concept art and early ideas for the movie. We have a very interesting and reveling approach to the creative process of this movie.
This week we can share for you (each link to the respective thread):
- Decepticon Warriors By Joshua Viers – Some more early ideas and designs for 4 Decepticon warrior variants. Fairly different from the ones we saw on screen.
- Dropkick Concept Art By Shane Baxley – Full body art (front and back) of the design of Dropkick as a single changer based on the 1973 AMC Javelin.
- Dropckick Alt Mode Concept Art By Shane Baxley – Dropkick AMC Javelin car mode color variations exploring paint, ride heights, lights, non functioning intakes, etc.
- Bumblebee Battle Mode By Shane Baxley – Concept of Bumblebee in battle mode based on his first appearance on Earth after scanning a jeep.
- Shatter And Dropkick Concept Art By Shane Baxley – A concept for the key scene on the movie where the two Decepticon villains track Bumblebee while creating the basis for Internet at Sector 7 base.
- Optimus Prime Concept art By Mark Yang – Awesome art of Optimus Prime in his Earth mode.

I knew there was something different about the eyes of Bee in this movie…. Now I see it. Look at the parts on the side of the head… The earmuffs look different too.

Now this is some concept art I’m down with. I love all the Dropkick stuff but overall I like the finalised version. In concept he kinda looks like he’d fit as a gang from Mayhem Mekanics. Keep bumblebee is dope but I’m bald they changed the face. Looks kinda gross and too insect like. I would love to see that Jeep form done as an MPM figure and also a new VW bumblebee. Optimus is also very exciting. And I’m hoping we get to see all the other autobots and what they could’ve turned into and what we could get made into toys.

It's also a shame they didn't use those head designs for the bumblebee toyline as some sort of set of exclusives.

Damn, the old movie Bee looks so evil and overdetailed compared to the new Bee.

I'm glad the final design for Dropkick is reminiscent to what you see in these concepts aside from the head (the final head design is better). It's much more "Transformers-like" than some of the other concepts of him shown earlier.
Looks like art of OP in this film will be revealed soon. I'm looking forward to that and the other Cybertron stuff.
Didn't they get rid of the ball gag mouth? It looks much more like a speaker this time around.

I like bumblebee\'s insect like mouth better than his ball Gag mouth, but I hope some future movie gives him a mouth
