Wyatt Comments On Animated Twins, Leaked Designs

By bwbm on Saturday, October 04, 2008

We all saw the Transformers Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm Entertainment Pack earlier this week, and the general consensus in the TFormers Community can most likely be summed up in one word: "yuck."

Now, Derrick Wyatt, the lead character designer of the series, has commented on the recent pictures we saw, more about the characters, and the recently leaked character designs.

"I wouldn't rush to judgment on the Jetfire and Jetstorm figures yet," Mr. Wyatt writes on his blog A Delightful Tedium.

He continues:

    Those are some pretty terrible pictures that are out there right now. The pictures I saw way back of the grey prototypes looked really good. And yes, of course they have hands! In both robot modes! The promo pics are just mistransformed. Once they are properly transformed and posed out, they should look pretty cool.


He also says that, "[f]rom the early pics I saw the rear of the combined vehicle is supposed to be split to make an 'X' shape. It cuts a way better silhouette that way."

Mr. Wyatt also says that the twins will be featured in Season Three of the series.

He has also confirmed that the recently leaked designs of Rodimus, Spittor, Strika, and Blackout are indeed legitimate. "Ugh. I hate leaks," he writes. Jokingly, he writes, "[t]hey [the leaked images] always have the worst quality images. Not even any color!"

We also now have an idea of where Mr. Wyatt's inspirations came from. While they are quite obvious, receiving the information from the horse's mouth is quite nice:

    Maybe you can see that Spittor's Cybertronian vehicle form is inspired by Don Figueroa's totally freaking awesome BW comic pre-beast Spittor design. And General Strika! Chalk up another personal Transformers life goal for yours truly!

Arf? Sixshot? Are you CRAZY??? He is one of the best designs in that later era! Six awesome modes. Doubleswitch? I know of DoubleDealer and quickSWITCH

Sorry dude, hands and better posing don't turn this turd into apple pie. It's a horrible design and should be scrapped. Very reminiscent of later G1 trash like DoubleSwitch or Sixshot.

I possition the cannons up high, they look like giant smoke stacks that way, I love how versatile that figure is. As for these twins, I'm waiting for the eventual DarkWing DreadWing redeco, as I'm not feeling them as JetFire and Storm

Well that was the original position Hasbro and TT intended them to be at. It was the GF/Cybertron cartoon that got it wrong.
