Edit nvm we saw it a long time ago
Electro Rush
Cool. Cool cool cool.
TF Hot Rod
We’re also get Abed voicing Bumblebee.
NemiMonkey
No what's off putting is her head is FUCKING HUGE!! That's not how big a kids head should be and they don't seem to notice this. My brain might just be playing tricks on me but her head seems to have gotten even bigger since the first preview shots we got.
shamanking282
So, I guess this is gonna be the first TF series with union actors again? That’s a big relief.
Darth Gonzo
So it looks like the names for the two new Transformers are Twitch and Thrash.
Nightrain
No they don’t.
Hoffman
I think what's slightly off-putting about the girl is that she looks like she has an adult face. Young kids facial proportions are different.
Fenrys
They look like cartoon humans to me, the girls head is a bit large, but cartoons typically give humans exaggerated proportions in some capacity
This really happens with every new show (the art style being divisive). I expect it to die down once episodes actually start airing and we get to see more of the designs in motion.
Novaburnhilde
I believe that's intentional? Because the new bots are a sub-species or something.
troglodyteman217
i dont know if what i am gonna say makes sense but i think the designs just kinda clash with eachother. optimus and bee while they look great imo they look too blocky compared to the new bots that look very round and clean. and then there are the humans and i simply think their faces look a bit too realistic. overall not bad tho
VVa
But also maybe his face is too thin.
View attachment 29539301 Most other Optimus designs have their faces fill in the "helmet" all the way.
Though like all Optimus designs that were new in their time, it took until seeing them in motion to decide whether we like em or not.
Ackar
youll know in time
Rodimus Prime
No, the eyes are too tiny.
VVa
Understandable. But yeah, the art style is really a divisive topic. Obviously due to it STILL being the only thing we've seen or know about it. Lol
Also Optimus' mask is uncomfortably long vertically…
Jeddostotle7
Yeah, I don't really have any major qualms with the robot designs, but the kids: they're smack dab right in that perfectly uncanny zone where they're neither quite stylized nor quite realistic enough.
Somedude
Didn't know that , haven't really been looking into the news on it.
Rodimus Prime
She looks like she escaped from the Peanuts universe with that head.
VVa
That's all people talked about when it was revealed. VERY hard to NOT talk about it.
Somedude
Yeah but something about just feels so uncanny, those eyes stare into my goddamn soul.
