oh I actually kind of love this, it just gives a HUUUUGE 70\'s sci-fi anime vibe and I love it
Requiem Prime
I dig the vibe from it. I see the proportions argument but I also remember I\'ve seen way worse.

This artist could make an exclusive limited edition SG version.

What a nightmare of a design.
Dire 51
I don\'t think that looks good.
VVa
Optimus's legs look too short.

This OP/Convoy looks off at quite a few locations. It's not stylised in a bespoke "artist's take" way to be intentional. More like "I'm going to draw OP/Convoy from memory and call it a day" kind of style. Not bad, though.

Choice. That’s how everything works in the art world. Hell, it’s how everything works in a capitalistic society. Always has been, always will be.

Limited edition….poster? With printing technology today, does this sound really stupid to anyone else? Like what is limiting them? Ink? Paper? Just a ridiculous tactic to milk the fanbase.

Damn, I’d love that night scene.

These posters look really nice!

With that window crack, it'd work well for a Shattered Glass version.

Uh huh. Sure. You go right ahead and think that.
Overreaction much?

Oh I get it, you’re one of those guys who act pretentious whenever someone slightly misinterprets a detail that doesn’t match your point of view. Guess what? I don’t care, Optimus Prime is Convoy, not the Diaclone one, but his name is CONVOY
Slashformingdoofus
Bumblebee was from a toy Called the “Mini Car Robo” but they didn’t call him that in Japan they called him “Bumble” without the bee. Jazz was “No.14 Porsche 935 Turbo Car Robo” and got called Meister. Optimus Prime, from Battle Convoy, was just called Convoy.
Slashformingdoofus
So what? Japan didn’t change it because the name sounded better to them over there. It’s still Convoy, just a different form.
IgnikaMarcus
Which was a mech.
With a pilot.
The character of "Convoy" didn't exist until after Optimus.
Slashformingdoofus
The original toy was called “Battle Convoy”
IgnikaMarcus
Convoy wasn't a even a character until Optimus Prime existed as one.
Also, Transformers wasn't localized.
Slashformingdoofus
I like the sound of Convoy better then Optimus Prime, I kinda wish they didn’t give him that name when Transformers got localized but whatever.
