This robot’s design was less scary

Since its launch in 2017, all video game fans have they were captivated drawings of impressive machines Horizon Zero Dawn Roboticswho live in nature as if they were the animals of the real world.

All of these creatures have gone through a thorough design process by the developers of the team of Guerrilla Games

. To carry out his work, it is obvious that he inspired by real world animalslike deer or horses, but originally they were going to be based more on some objects to create more “robotic” designs, such as in toys.

Originally, the Thunderer looked like a giant toy dinosaur.

The Thunderousor Thunderjaw in English, is an imposing creature, inspired by a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but loaded with heavy weapons, like cannons or lasers. It is found both in this game and in its sequel, Forbidden Horizon West

. However, its original design is quite far from what we finally knew.

According to official PlayStation blogthe Thunderer was the first machine created and completed by the Guerrilla team, but during the prototype phase of gameplay it looked more like a dinosaur building parts toy

. These pieces were different colors and each could be targeted to fire Aloy’s bow.

To finish, his appearance has changed until creating the design that we all know today, which is totally scarier as described for us on the iGamesNews. This is just one more example of how video games can change during the development process, from when you have an idea to its final result.
