If you looks ar the models and the post though and look at the actors playing them i can see there faces they guy playing mikey has larger more pronounced lips so of course we will see more of that in him same goes for the rest they have the facial features of the people playing them

so the only explanation is that the turtles where designed a long time ago, they reworked the face just a little to resemble the actors...

no im saying that why like and noses look the way they do it is because they look like the actors and i remember a while back them saying the turtle will be the most expressive they have even been. they look like the actor(which is fine by me kinda expected this from the start)

I was all on board with what we've seen on the designs until now, but uuuuuuuugh, those glasses.

Then again, I know the kind of subtlety I can expect from any Bay-related production by now. Early design peeks had me a little excited for the overall approach, but hey, I generally hold the Transformers designs as the only good thing about those movies too.

Also, on the whole, unless it's just the photo or the poster, these things came across much better in the original sculpts than they do rendered in CGI.

Re: Director vs. producer talk a few pages back: The truth is, when it comes to large studio projects like these, the director is basically just a project-manager for the producer. And sometimes only after pre-production.

At least here, we can tell the Turtles apart...

Because that's ever actually been a legitimate concern by people over the age of 3?

Have you ever even read the mirage comics?

Not much variation between the Turtles...

No, never.

And I once challenged this forum to show me any examples of panels from the comics where it is allegedly confusing which Turtle is which. 30 years of comics and folks were only about to produce one, maybe two panels from anything.

So....

The only issues I can think of off the top of my head where this might be an issue are the "Dale Evans McGuillicutty" story arc.

But aside from that...I'm with Andrew on this one.
It's never been all that difficult to tell which turtle was which in a black and white comic.

I must be weird, because I kind of like the designs. They're a tad bit too overly busy, but they're no where near as hideous as the NT designs where.

Leo looks the best so far, Raph and don kind of disappoint me the most. Don looks more silly than anything else, but I like how don and let's face turned out more than the other two.

For one thing I think this movie will have great CGI, as many have stated here. But I'm still holding my breath about where the story will end up going. The designs aren't great, but they're no where near as horrible as I had them in my head (a weird mix of bay transformers and NT).

No way

The next mutation over these anyway of the week. How are you gonna say these designs are better? They literally have clothes under their shells. That's physically impossible.

Do you think these are same designs that were created during the time of first script leak? Or do you think they even got that far with that script?

Not a huge fan of their approach to Megatron, but overall, I thought it was an interesting, different aesthetic, and one of the only things the movies brought to the table that I appreciated on some level. Which is how I feel about these Turtles (except those glaaaaaasses).
