N-iX Art Production Studio has uploaded some piece of unused Transformers concept art via Arstation. We have a very interesting group shot of characters inspired by the classic G1 style. We have Optimus Prime, Jazz, Megatron, Bumblebee and Skywarp in modern and stylized designs that we are sure will please your optics.
Additionally, we have individual images of Megatron, Skywarp, Dead End, and Brawl. All of them easily recognizable as their G1 counterparts but Megatron, who is mainly green and gray with no traces of the alt mode or his iconic fusion cannon.
According to the description shared by N-iX Art these are: “Some of the concepts we did a while ago for a cancelled project. Inspired by Transformers G1 designs”. There’s no detailed information about this project, but the galleries have a “Game Development Studio” tag, so we may think they were planned for a video game.
Check the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

the unused transfomers game is supposed to be Forge to Fight\'s early concept?
Blitz.
to be brutally honestly… kinda glad it was canned these just done do anything for me.
Deadend
Don't remember the full details. Was something near after Dark Spark iirc though. Near when the other games and Platinum game were being looked into. Was talk at one point of a game like what Bandai eventually did with Dragonball recently.
Forget exactly why it was scrapped though. It was roughly near the initial stages of the evergreen and Cyberverse design stuff though. Somewhere between Dark Spark and that, and the mobile games. (so this was before even 2nd RID had aired.)
Some of those years are still a blur to me.

Oh boy, the exact same designs with some different lines on them…
Megatron, the ultimate tankie.

Bumblebee looks like he\'s got Pikachu ears to me.
Requiem Prime
Kindred!
Requiem Prime
Anyone else see that Bumblebee and think yellow Cyclonus?

Bee's head looks like it belongs on Cyclonus.

Dead end looks very nice and could have been a nice toy for me to get

Megatron looks like downsized leader green megatron.

Give that Megatron some shoulder treads and antlers and you've got a darn fine Armada Megatron redesign.
He's really the only remotely interesting one, honestly, just because he's got green bits. It's difficult to get excited about yet another set of G1+ designs where the biggest points of interest are "wow Optimus's shoulders are a different shape" and "oh hey this version of the modern Bumblebee design doesn't have door wings, how neat."

Megatron looks like his g2 ver.
Digger
Cool. Weird and cool.

I really like that Megatron!

Fighting? Ehhh, doesn't look like that. Most of the animations are played in static pose and only one of the animations seems dedicated to the movement mechanics.
Screams turn-based combat to me or something similar.
Anyway, really cool concepts!

That\'s a weird looking Megs. Reminds me of the Classic 2006 Deluxe toy.
