While there’s some brouhaha surrounding exactly how much Transformers: Age of Extinction made this weekend (rumors are swirling that the $100m take during its opening week were inflated by Paramount), one of the film’s artists, Wesley Burt, shared some concept art on his personal Facebook. Given the nature of concept art, some of the designs differ from the final designs in the film, but they’re still cool to see from a progression standpoint.

Burt had this to say about the revealed concept art:

Had an amazing time working on this with Production Designer Jeffrey Beecroft & Art Director Ben Procter, and all the other awesome artists on the project- Josh Nizzi, Steve Jung, Steve Messing, Ed Natividad, Warren Manser, Vitaly Bulgarov, Fausto De Martini, Patrick Faulwetter, Steve Burg, Paul Ozzimo, John Park, & everyone else, so many people to name.  And immense thanks to all of the amazing artists at ILM and Bay Films that brought all these early ideas to life. Was so cool seeing this stuff up on the IMAX screen in 3d!
