Like it!

We'll have to get Spencer or Inzo to do a model!

Not bad, I like it! The Tumbler is such an odd-shaped car, so that combined with the movie-style robot gives very little hint about about his alt mode.

Gotta be honest, I dont really like the Tumbler. You're right it's odd - one could also say ugly! My avatar is one of my all time faves. Obviously it's old school, but still great nonetheless.

oh c'mon. his alt mode is SO hinted at. no other car has windshields like that. the 2 giant tires in the back are on his shoulders...the thing in the crotch(piece in front of the car). just look at this:

maybe i should make a red and blue tumbler to show his alt mode.

but i guess ur right. i think with all the bayformers, it's hard to tell their alt modes. jazz was the easiest to tell.

Yes, that wasn't a criticism of your work at all - it was a comment on TFs in general. The original Prime didn't require much interpretation: he was pretty much a Freightliner cab with arms, legs, and a head. The movie version, though, has almost nothing to tell you that his alt mode is a Peterbilt.

The Tumber's relative lack of distinguishing characteristics (like the nose intake on the '89, or the canopies of the '66) just help hide what he turns into.

better for them. they're even more in disguise. lol.

i think it's good what they did with the new movie though. if optimus' transformation was as boring as the old 80's one, then the movie probably wouldnt be as entertaining. seeing optimus transform was so cool. even parts of his head transformed.
