Shockwave and Soundwave Movie Style Mock-Ups

TFormers.com has posted two images for the heads of Soundwave and Shockwave, supposedly for Transformers 2. The site and I thinks its more likely a fan mock up since there isn't even a script for the film but darned if they don't look good. Its a fantastic mix of the movie style with the G1 look many know and love.

  1. These are fan mock-ups. I saw these last year sometime.

  2. I saw one of them on "someone's" message board. "He" liked it. (Yes, I'm being cryptic. But he's "connected" with TF in some way. I read his remark on the design.)

  4. A fan over on Deviant Art mocked up a better one IMO. Check out the forum and look for the thread about Soundwave. More accurate if you ask me. But this is still good art. Shcokwave looks fantastic.

  6. Definetly Fan made. they resemble the re G1 counterparts to much. And from what I've always seen from ppl changing the way they look. THey would be alot diffrent.

    personally, i like the head shown above with shockwave but i do like the robot mode and choice of alt/earth mode for soundwave. my only qualm with the robot mode from a movie POV is that he is TOO much like his alt mode. look at the actual movie robot designs... you can barely recognise what their alt mode is, i.e. no front grille on the chest. i say this is a qualm, but more of an observation really. i would prefer the bot modes to identify more of their alt modes... dont know why bay & co wanted the bot modes to almost completely hide their alt modes... defeats the concept of transformers if you ask me. i know its only BASED on G1 and do understand why changes were necessary... but come one!

    and as for bay gettin death threats re: changes from G1... that is just braindead! if some people see this is as a worthy action then they clearly have issues! and really oughtta get out more. if they are such a fan of G1 then they will be a little older by now, at least early 20's, and if someone that age see's death threats as a worthy doing, then god help your country. i just hope the movie reel gets shipped to the UK BEFORE your country surely will collapse inwards!!

  8. I think they look really really cool.
    Is there anyway in which we can get some sort of patition going to try and get these concepts used (Or to get similar concepts designed as Bay and co. may have a problem hunting down the original artist)

    As for the Americans sending death threats, I have to a agree with an earlier comment, That just sucks.

    It just gives me that image of a stereotypical, 30 year old 'nerd', with nothing better to do than send death threats and argue over who shot first, Damn like

  9. I have to agree too, those people who send those threats are total LOSERS...but i can't agree with the fact that the tf's for this movie don't have some pieces of their alt modes baring their vehicle style. Looking at bumblebee he has the whole front car grill chest plate thing going on, so does barricade, and even optimus prime...blackout has the front cockpit for a chest in his alt mode..and even starscream has his cockpit chest and a set of small wings in the back..sure they don't look anything like G1 (and hell in a way I'm glad they look this way cause they look so cool) but to say you can't see anything that shows their alt mode? I can see tonnes to indicate what they turn into.

  10. Thing with these Transformer designs is that they to me like Optimus Prime will look like who they are! Where'as all the other characters in the "film" do not! If Peter Cullen and Optimus Prime were not in the film it would not have been Transformers at all! Point being it was ruined by the yanks and a crap Director who did not have a clue!
