Via Artist T. Darren Chiu’s Artstation account we can share for you new character concept, promotional art and more unreleased material of the cancelled Transformers Heavy Metal video game.
Transformers Heavy Metal AR mobile game was planned to be an AR mobile game developed by Niantic, but unfortunately it was cancelled in June this year after being available only as a beta test in a few countries. We have a look at the character concept of Arcee, Jazz, Roulette, Soundwave, Starscream, Shadow Striker, some promotional posters featuring several other characters and a huge load of Minicon concept images.
See all the mirrored images attached to this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

While I enjoy the look of these Mini-cassettes, I can't tell which is Rumble or Frenzy. The whole FIRRIB thing has gotten out of hand.

Ahh I really like that Starscream!

HASBRO IF YOU ARE LISTENING PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE TRANSFORMERS HEAVY METAL CHARACTERS IN TOO FIGURE

Hound looking rather Bulkhead at that increased size.

The fact they were gonna' use the original Shadow Striker in this gives me vague hopes that the leaked Shadow Striker listing is of her and not the Cyberverse thing.

I like what I see. Enough 'inspiration' in classic designs but also enough extra 'personality' to each character, making them unique and 'fresh' enough to satisfy a hard core G1-only fan like myself

What a shame, these designs feel like a celebration of my favorite iterations of the universe; tfa, tfp, bumblebee, cyberverse, and idw.

Lowkey looks better than the Reactivate art style

Love these designs! The mini cons are so cute!! it’s a shame they’re doomed to a dead mobile game

There's some neat designs here, I hope they revisit them at some point.

The art style reminds me of Cubix

The minicons are great. Dang it I want figures!

Glad this was cancelled.

Roulette looks badass, no idea why she's a Decepticon though. Not a fan of how they made Shadow Striker purple like Cyberverse.
NemiMonkey
Yeah not really liking most of those bot designs. The little companions though look like a nice blend of the armda/arms microns partners and that I do quite like, especially the little parrot cassette bot looking one.
Looks like poor little Eddie had to find new work since there's not much going on with Megaman these days.

…why does Wheeljack have a disembodied head with legs…? And is that a BeastBox Echoblaster parrot? Arcee is pure red too. And apparently Soundwave decided to rip off Blaster’s alt mode.
SG Unicron
Why\'d they make Roulette a decepticon?
