Holy crap. Let's see some alternate modes! 
Devious Comments
Cool work, but for the movie I think they were going for a more realistic look. So, I think how they had it in the movie is what the Autobots, and Decepticons would actually look in reality.
Well, they are going to make a sequel. However, this is exactly what was said on Wikipedia on the appearances of the Transformers in the movie:
Designs of the robots began in June 2005, and Hasbro heavily collaborated on the live action interpretations of their characters. In keeping with Michael Bay's desire to make Transformers realistic, the robots were designed more intricately to look more three-dimensional and to reflect their alien origins. Morphing in transformations was restricted, unlike the cartoon or comic books, where a character like Megatron transforms into a Walther P38. Every character stayed the same size, which explained the robots' choice of Earth forms during the story. Optimus Prime's original cab over truck form was rejected because it would make him only 23 feet tall, so Bay decided to use the Peterbilt, the largest truck available.
Bay also added flame artwork to Prime to make him distinctive, and gave him a mouth to emote more. Don Murphy wanted to retain Bumblebee's Volkswagen Beetle form, but Bay rejected it to avoid comparisons with Herbie the Love Bug. Bay chose the Chevrolet Camaro instead, which he described as having a friendly quality. Making Bumblebee a Camaro led a full product placement deal with General Motors, to supply the alternate modes for Jazz, Ironhide and Ratchet. The deal saved $3 million, though Bay hoped they would have supplied a bigger car than the Pontiac Solstice for Jazz.
In contrast to Optimus' faithful design, Megatron's alternate mode was changed from a Walther P38 pistol to an alien jet to avoid morphing, while his face was made more hideous and menacing. The numerous animatic tests conducted also made Bay realize Starscream would require bird-like legs to perform his feats throughout the story. Bay admitted most of the Decepticons had their appearances chosen before their characterization as Hasbro needed to get started on the toys. Blackout was being considered as Soundwave, but Hasbro wanted to have a music player for the character. Don Murphy felt this role belittled Soundwave, and the writers concurred the character in the script barely resembled the original. They renamed him Soundbyte, and finally Frenzy, one of Soundwave's minions.

What´s realistic? It´s more realistic because has a design full of little pieces, chains, wires and bolts? And the style? That robots haven´t style. They´re simply ugly. Modern CGI effects can make possible the impossible... Giant alien transforming robots don´t exist. It´s better to do´em with style, anyway.
