Wow! You have got to love seeing some behind the scenes work on Transformers. Illustrator and toy designer Emiliano Santalucia just provided a gem for us to look at. Over at Mr. Santalucia's blog we have concept drawings of Generations Titan Metroplex. He went on to provide the following detail about the drawings:

As some of you may know, I did some work on that giant sucker. But I didn't do the whole design. What I did was working with Chris Hicks on a concept to pitch the idea and work out the general shapes and features. After that, he was properly designed and engineered, but as you may notice, some spots remained faithful to what I had draw, like the chest area. As you can see also, those panels on the shoulders were supposed to open up. Hasbro kept them, but they are now part of the shoulder sculpture and don't move.
Overall, I believed I had to go for TF Prime aesthetic, I wasn't aware this was for Generations.
Oh, and yes, it's a pretty rough sketch. But many of these things starts like that!

Check out the images after the break and join the discussion with the discussion link below!
