You all remember this hyper detailed G1 Optimus statue that came out awhile back? The one that looked like it would be perfect for the big screen? I hope you all remember that this statue is an officially licensed Hasbro product. John and the design team has clearly seen that statue. Travis has seen that statue. Some people have this statue in their office. The new movie Optimus is most definitely inspired by that statue. It's a design that everyone had in mind for this movie from the start. It was even used at the pitch meeting for investors to assure them that this was going to be a very different experience than the Bay movies.
