Silver-Faced Batlle Mask for battle scenes and a hood for other scenes when protecting his head is unnecessary.

Well on one hand hoods exsist. Never quite seen any thing like the crome dome in real life, or film. But I could see the problem with the hood being, getting it not to look like a sheet with two holes in it Halloween style.

I've thought a great deal about this over the years.

Some answers could be:

Make the eyebrows and the portions that wrap around the eyes latex. This would allow for the shape of the eyes to remain constant instead of looking like a pillow case.

OR... the same effect could probably be acheived with clever sewing. This would allow him to emote with his eyes.

You've thought about that a great deal over the years? That's pretty impressive.

What can I say? I'm that special kind of nerd who actually fantasized at length about what this movie could be. :]

I think I'd prefer the blank chrome mask, although it might make him too similar to the chrome head of DESTRO (then again, as we don't know what Destro will look like, that may not be a problem). The chrome would look really good from any angle and work in any lighting - Of course, they'd have to use a lot of CGI to blank out the camera crews being reflected in it!

I do like the hood, but in the 'real world' it may not have the impact it should and could have a few casual viewers chuckling.

i dont think the hood would go over to well today's culture. i always preferred any of the battle helmets over the hood anyway. there are backstories to the helmets. i never understood how he managed to keep the hood on all the time or that someone was never able to pull it off.

I agree... I often feel rejected by society at large when I wear my pillow case to the mall.

of course it should be the classic battle mask so that's why it won't be. they'll screw this up too because they'll assume we'll want to see the actors face instead of having it covered up. unfortunatley,this reminds me of what they did to optimus prime. those retards put a mouth on him just because they didn't think him having a faceplate would convey enough emotion. are u kidding me?
