EXO Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 But I like the A-Team movie... saw it twice. Too bad I didn't help it's BO by seeing it twice for free... RIP Voltron movie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one_klump Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Those lions look like ass. Not to be the typical never-satisfied macrossworlder here, but really, they look like ass. Even the CGI zords from the first Power Rangers movie looked better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy007 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 that concept art is just awful. if thats how the lions and voltron are going to look in a live action film, i hope it never gets made. that looks like a michael bay voltron.

Gaijin Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Sorta looks Transformers movie-ish. But this is only pitched concept art to the studios. With the success of TF at the box office, I'd probably pitch it that way too, honestly. Doesn't mean you'd have to keep those designs. I actually liked Voltron so I kinda hope this gets made some day. But I'm not naive enough to think it won't be updated for young kids of today.

Maiden Japan Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 It's just a concept art, they can design whatever they want. But I feel that artist has absolutely no respect for the original design of Voltron/ Golion, or either the artist is so young that he never watched the original cartoon.

Chewie Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I like them. It's loads better than the original idea of the kids building the lions out of trash in a junkyard. Just as it was with Transformers, you're not going to get a lineart perfect set of Lions. I'll give it a chance if it gets out of dev hell. Then again, I love Bay's Transformers. /shrug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyryder Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 If the movie gets made, I hope they use more streamlined designs. Needs to be more Iron Man, and less Transformers. I'm not a big fan of that particular design style, to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIsaHayase Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have a copy of the Justin Marks' script for the Voltron Movie and believe me, it is so bad I use it for kitty litter.

mikeszekely Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 What is it with people making movies that bank on nostalgia for '80s properties while simultaneously thinking that everything from the '80s is too blocky and simplistic, and therefore needs to be rounded with tons of extra moving parts and gears and what-not? This Voltron looks like ass. Not as much as Bayformers, but still ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD Blade Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 This Voltron looks like ass. Not as much as Bayformers, but still ass. I'd say it looks just as bad as Bay Megatron.I actually almost got on board when I saw only the lions, but that Voltron kills it. I hope they take those concept images right back to the drawing board. Even Stealth Voltron looked better...and that thing was god awful.

one_klump Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) The torso of the lions just does not agree with me. Looks more like a wolf with a funny head. The Voltron lions had barrel chests, it gave them a more aggressive stance. The legs are too thin for me as well, squared off legs would have been great, with those big honking feet on with the claw missiles. Exposed ribs don't look great either. Also, if you look at the blue lions head, you can see a sports car. Edited September 17, 2010 by one_klump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Maybe I'll warm up to it eventually after seeing more, but for now the only word that comes to mind is "barfarino", and since I don't even know what that word means I'll just keep it to myself.

And yes, I truly believe that detailed CGI models of the Transformers from the '80s cartoon would look much better than the monstrosities that Michael Bay is passing off instead.

Seriously though, I'm glad the Marks script got canned. It's really really bad. Was that in the first draft of the movie script? I don't remember the lions being built out of a junkyard in the cartoon... They weren't. That was Marks' idea how they were made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
