Something to Fill Trailer Hunger

We all want a trailer, yet so far there is no proven news on the trailer. So how about a fantastic fan made trailer from two years ago reformatted for YouTube's new widescreen look with commentary. Jester and Jolin (TF artwork extraordinaire) created a trailer for the first movie that was a direct nod to the 1984 generation one cartoons. Their work went on to win the "Fanaticon" contest that Yahoo! Movies held which led to a trip to Industrial Light and Magic. To see some cool pictures from ILM that they took click here. Below are the various trailers, videos and what not from Jester and Jolin have put together. Click the title link above the video if want to see it at YouTube's larger default size.

Update: Added a link to pictures from the ILM tour and modified the embed code so the movies above will be in HD from instructions Jester provided.

Cosmos Fan Concept Art

Jester and Jolin strike again, this time with their design for Cosmos. The old G1 character was a green and yellow mini-bot that turned into a flying saucer. This one's alt mode is a much more logical Cybertronian Transport Shuttle that gives the character the heft and strength one would expect from a Transformer. Once again another excellent design (more work here).

Fan Made Bumblebee Costume

In time for Halloween is this cool fan made movie Bumblebee costume from Lionel Lum. He made it specifically for the San Diego Comic Con 2008. The detail and skill is pretty darn sweet and probably good for getting into some Halloween parties. Click the images for larger versions.

Unknown TF Fan Art

Posted at Superherohype without comment is the below TF design that is marked up as if it’s a real version of one of the Transformer designs. The artwork does look pretty good and seem to be a name that starts with an "m" and ends in an "a". "Skowl" makes a pretty convincing argument that the design is cribbed from other Transformers all mashed together.

Armadillo TF Concept Art

In a nod to Michael Bay's Armageddon, Jester and Jolin have created another piece of Transformers concept art based on the movie's Armadillo. From the posts on Don Murphy and Michael Bay Forums:

Greetings, my name is Armadillo. Just wanted to introduce myself. I come from a long line of drilling and excavation robots. Not too long ago I was hired by NASA to help a group of roughnecks save your planet from certain doom. It was a tough job and I lost good friends in that battle. But alas we overcame the impossible and you are all here today.

I've just come back from some light work on the Mars project. Thought I'd drop in and say hello. You can learn more about me here:

Until all are one...

This one might be the best one yet, love the integration of the background, but I think the Tumbler is still my current favorite. Keep up the excellent work you two.

Grimlock Fan Art

From Romain Revert is the below fan made design he created for Grimlock. The first image is Grimlock in normal robot mode, the second is battle mode with mast and chest protector (for his spark). The vehicle mode is a GMC Denali XT Concept car.

Transformers 2 Head Design? Update

TFW2005 found a link on 52Toys.com that suggests that the avatar of a banned user is a head design for a Transformer 2 character.

Actoys.net just banned a user who claimed got some design from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This guy were looking for business partner at Actoys.net for using these design to produce some unauthorized products before official licensed. But…this user left a mystic avatar.

The last thread this guy left in Actoys.net, is about sell die-cast Chevy Corvette ZR1 model. Looks like this guy is a die-cast car model seller and he claimed this is ZR1’s head.

Until recently the alt mode of "Stinger" was known to be a Corvette, just not sure which one. I and others thought it was the ZR1. It has since been pretty much verified to be a Corvette Centennial. If the person was on the TF2 design team, then they would have known exactly what model car was being. Since clearly they didn't, safe to say this is a fan-made design. Nicely done one though.

S250 on TFW2005 forums has now provided the full body image of the Transformer. Overall a pretty good looking design but I sticking with my fan made theory.
