According to this recently circulating post, the helm design is based upon figures such as the Horned King (from Disney’s The Black Cauldron) and the grim reaper.
okay but what about that
…Is it the fact that they managed to give that particular frame a chin, despite it being faceless?
WAIT I THINK IVE GOT IT
why is the waist so thin compared to the rest of the body megatron could literally wrap one hand around him and hurl him into the sun
I, uh. Am pretty certain that is just a side effect of being in the TFA universe. Several characters (Optimus himself being the first example that comes to mind) aren’t much better.
I wonder if there were general guidelines when they started making designs, because unless you’re a heavy hitter usually the design does slim out in the waist.
A lot of them show a lot less armour in the waist too. Actually now that I think about it isn’t there a scene where we see a protoform being put into armour? And it likes stretches out between pieces? It’s been a while since I watched TFA but I think something like Shockwave’s waist would actually be closer to protoform than heavy armour.
Are u telling me this dingus is a war machine but he didnt even put armor on his own waist
So, I think we need to talk about Terminus. Because there is some
interesting stuff going on there. And after LL06, I was upset and
confused and wanted to figure out what was going on, and I tripped
over some fascinating things along the way. Behind a cut for spoilers
and length.
so i’ve seen a few people note glitch being back – and yes i’m excited to see my boy back again – but i don’t think i’ve seen anyone else point out that
the entire djd is there.
like the only one i’m not completely sure of is tesarus because he’s not as easily recognizable, but everyone else is definitely pictured here. they all go through some serious modifications upon becoming the djd, but i think it’s fairly safe to assume these are them pre-djd.
