How do Transformers emote? That’s the challenge that the ILM Art Department had to design. Working with Director Josh Cooley and Production Designer Jason Scheier, the team decided to embrace the clean and simple charm of the 1980s animated characters. To accomplish this, artists created faces free of panel breakups and used mechanical details that allowed their performances, emotions, and expressions to shine through. Each character had to be unique in their design and also needed to visually evolve throughout the course of the film. The results were them looking cohesive as a group, while also looking like they belonged together in the world of Transformers One.
