Japanese Phantasy Star 4 cover art & Megatron....

[ShadowDragon28]

So I was browsing the net for news and pic of the upcoming "Transformors" The Movie (the new live action movie).

Well I came across the CGI art for Megatron and noticed somthing... He looks like Dark Falz/Dark Force!

Look at these pic of Dark Force from Phantasy Star 4...
From the orginal Art for Phatasy Star:End of the Millennium, and the others.. make note of his/It's face and aspects of details in It's body...

Now if the new Megatron doesn't look like a robot/living machine version of the Dark Force/Falz in that JP cover art, then why do the look so damn similar?

How did the concept designers get such a striking resemblace to the JP Dark Force/Falz art that's in their design.

Are they psychic or being inspired by the original Ps IV art of Dark Falz/Force.. Hm?

[VanHalen]

hmm they do look pretty much the same. lol chaz looks like a chick.

You know, sometimes, I'm really glad we get different box art here, than in Japan.

OMG! Thats how Megatron looks like in the movie? *pukes*

[trypticon]

My expectations for this movie have suddenly dropped.

[zimmk2vgc]

I never had high expectations for new transformers...don't tamper with the classics man!

[Schubalts]

New Megatron made me cry!

The 80's are coming back. In theory, this means that in a few years, Power Rangers will also be making a comeback.

I actually like TF:The Movie "Mega Falz" i.e. Megatron. The Trailer makes the movie look kick ass IMO.


FYI This thread's topic is wether or not you think the new Megatron looks like
Dark Force/Falz or not, it's not meant to be a thread to critique or flame the new design of Megatron; or to bash the JP Ps IV box art.

word going around is that MEgatron design has been scrapped. Maybe this is why? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Maybe it's only his basic form and if he lands on Earth he becomes a alternative look.

Even if the explanation was always a little weird, why they have to get there alternative shapes.
Cars/Planes or Dinosaurs.

I hope they scrap that look, that looks nothing like the megatron we all know.

Bah, I'll not bash the JP cover to PSIV; at least Wren was on it, unlike the Boris Vajello painting that graced the cover of the US version. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

One of these people is a genious [spoiler]not the first guy jklol[spoiler]

And I think I speak for a lot of people when I say Megatron should look like the Megatron we all came to love and know. One of the incarnations (80's preferably).

[Destruct05]

i want him to look like the tank bot that he always was!

[Alisha]

why do all the old newman designs look like nightwalkers????

[Drakorn]

The tank version of Megatron is much more recent than the original handgun/rifle version that we know and recognize.
