Remember when robots actually looked like robots?

God damn this design is awful. Even as just a generic alien, it's incredibly uncreative.

2017 movie alpha is cool

Aww, it's cute!

This is the first design of this whole movie that I've not completely hated, and it's the only redesign that actually recognizably looks like the original character.

I love the paunch. I love the eye stalks. He reminds me of Tom, the robot Toonami host.

EDIT: He looks more like a robot from behind. Is that a spring coil neck?

Yay for R--- Monster!

Wait, that's Alpha?

Nope, forget Flint Lockwood. Give me Billy Bob Thornton's voice. Cuz that's DeviantArt ghetto.

I don't care if I'm being "whiny" or "missing the point" of what they're going for or "can't appreciate the design" like some people have said online today, this design is garbage. It's ugly, it's devoid of character, and I don't like it.

It absolutely misses the mark in every way possible. Like just about everything else design wise from this movie. The designs have been consistently weird and bad coming out of this movie, from the ground up this world has been built very poorly in my eyes. Alpha just looks too alien. And I get it, that's a DUMB thing to say. He's an alien robot. The problem is that he's totally devoid of any of the things that made him memorable, he's that kind of alien to me now.

Why even bother to base this movie on the original series at all? Why not just go with totally original characters and concepts instead of taking notable ones and running them through the hollywood blockbuster blender until they appear totally unrecognizable? I just don't get it anymore. If this is supposed to be a movie for "fans" then it should have at least taken what they've seen before into consideration. At this point it seems only the ranger suits have done that and that's still a pretty big stretch to me.

I hate to feel so disappointed & be so negative, but I just can't find anything to be excited about with this movie :(

Ai Yi Yi Yi Yi!!!!!

I too find each new reveal to be pushing my needle toward "wait for basic cable". It is disappointing.

Oh my god that looks fucking hilarious

...Now we know the real reason Alpha Six was brought in.

This. I'm okay with the Power Ranger suits and morphers being more alien-like because Zordon is an alien. However, Alpha is just a robot, not another alien. A more alien-looking robot? Sure. This Alpha however, is JUST an alien.

I'm kind of okay with all of this for some reason.
