With some recent Animated talk coming up with the potential for a Siege Omega Supreme based on the Ark and the fan theory of a Leader Shockwave using the Animated double spy gimmick, it seems that this Animated topic has shaken loose some old concept art for the series! This concept art comes to us from Watanabe Yoshihiro, who had the privilege to work on some early Animated concepts. while these designs did not end up getting used by the show, it is awesome to see some of the early work and ideas for the series compared to what it ended up being.

The Bulkheadish fellow's head looks sort of like a humanized Jhiaxus. His whole appearance makes me think of a a generic Mighty Orbot, and I'm not sure if that's just because Wyatt based his final design on Crunch, or if there was some Orbots influence even before his involvement.

I'm gonna guess the others are Blurr, Optimus (obviously), and Prowl. Blurr kinda reminds me a little of a Mega Man boss for some reason, and I'm not sure what he'd transform into. Prime looks kinda generic, and Prowl is a bit too Naruto-ish for my tastes. Still, it's always fascinating to see stuff like this.

But seriously, the guy worked on Gurren Laggan and Heroman, the later of which shares a similar design aesthetic to these even though I don't believe he did any mechanical design work on that series.
