Prime 5- Big (Rig) Pimpin'!

It's been a very exciting couple of days for those of us who are anxiously awaiting the Transformers movie next year. After the somewhat fuzzy image of Optimus Prime with his blaster that was revealed a few days ago, here come a few that are slightly better. Just like the conceptual artwork that leaked out for Megatron, here are better views of what Big Bot is gonna be sporting next Summer Season (including our very first clear shot of what his face COULD possibly look like!) You can check front, back, and face by clicking on the links. The face looks slightly different than it did here, or maybe it's just the angle, so it could either look like this or may end up being completely different by release time. I'm just anxious to hear THE voice coming from this massive looking mech. And just this morning, there were a couple of images posted of what appears to be a film shoot setup depicting Transformers mayhem in the city streets. We get our first glimpses of other Transformers' robot forms, although it is a bit blurred, such as Jazz (Pontiac Solstice), Ratchet (Hummer), Starscream (F-22 Raptor Jet), and Bonecrusher (Mine Clearing Vehicle). You can check out the picture here. I'm not totally excited by the Starscream design, although I'm sure it makes sense in the real world, but that Bonecrusher looks like one massively badass motherf@%ker! And Jazz looks pretty cool too! Can't wait to see these things in action, and also the tie-in toys!
