Batman Tumbler Robot Concept (Image courtesy Jester Pictures)
By Andrew Liszewski

(Click here for a hi-res version of the above image.) There were definitely some mixed opinions about last year’s Transformers movie (worst movie of 2007!) but so far Christopher Nolan and crew seem to be doing a pretty good job of breathing life back into the Batman franchise. Of course Batman is nothing without his toys, and the Tumbler Batmobile is almost as much a star of the latest films as Christian Bale is. So I have to wonder why it’s taken so long for a fanboy to imagine what it would be like if the Batman and Transformers worlds merged.

Thankfully the fanboy responsible for this concept also appears to be an extremely talented 3D artist, and his Tumber Autobot Edition almost makes you wish the Tumbler became Batman’s sidekick instead of Robin. The concept image was originally posted to the Don Murphy Message Board by ‘JesterJJZ’, and the amount of detail that’s gone into the robot mode is quite astonishing. Now let’s just hope we eventually get an actual animation of this thing transforming.

  1. Dude, the guy who made this is a fraude, it absolutely no 3D, They are cut-out segments of photo graphic images of the tumbler combined with photoshop into making the thing.
    If it were 3D there would be wireframe shots somewhere on the web or on his site. Plus From a designers standpoint it wouldnt work, his bodymass proportions are way off and he would simply fall backworkds. And please if you go on saying this guy is an extremely talented 3d artist you're wrong, cause he would have been known in the 3D world by his socalled awesome work. Extremely good 3D artists are Known on http://www.CGtalk.com / http://www.3DTotal.com Those are artists who really heve some skill not a fraude fanboy who has the web thinking that he even made the concepts of the Transformers movie.
