Exclusive: See How the Robots of ‘Transformers 2′ Were Designed
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on October 8, 2009
If there’s one thing I think we can all agree on when it comes to Michael Bay’s latest opus Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, it is that the damn robots looked really cool. Whoever designed those things should get at the very least, a pat on the back. The story is one thing, the action shots another and Michael Bay’s gigantic ego something completely different, but those Transformers sure did look cool.
With that in mind, we’ve received an awesome new exclusive clip from the folks at Paramount Home Entertainment that focuses on Ben Procter, the film’s Robot Art Director. In the clip below, which is from the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of TF2, Procter explains the process behind the design of each robot. He also shows off some very early concept art, some of which didn’t make it anywhere near the movie. It’s the perfect little feature for concept art hounds like myself, and those who dream of what could’ve been. Check it out below.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be released on Blu-ray and DVD October 20th. You can find more cool extras over at TransformersMovie.com/Choose, including an app that will have Optimus Prime call your phone and the infamous “Robotize Me” application.
