Gorgonite Concepts

Small soldiers7 — scar puss version 2 weapon

Whilst making the film a number of Gorgonites were designed who didn't make the final cut of the film. They range from different designs to different colors and even how they would walk from the final result

Very early designs[]

Archer: unlike the feline character we know and love today archer (only known head concept) early concept art showed he had a more mangled monster face with a blood shot eye and small to the right side hair he appears to have heavy scars on his face the one noticeable one what looks like stitch holes while he has a missing left eye which might have been given to troglokhan when he was rebuilt

List of Gorgonite Concepts[]

Warto: before Flatchoo there was warto. the main difference to the final character besides the skin was their appearance. warto's design was made so far in the production even the Flatchoo toy has more of the appearance of Warto then the final prop. in a early draft script Warto worn a helmet with bat wings..
Chomp: this gorgonite is a living fly trap who wears armor, a shield and holds a axe. not much is known about him other then he was a scrapped gorgonite
Ogre Gorgonite: This Gorgonite doesn't have a name and might have been a character who might have been replaced with slamfist. His weapons are a scythe made of bone which has a blade grafted onto it and crocodile tail. he holds onto a flag
Scar Puss: Two version of Scar Puss were designed, the first is a creature with a chin full of spikes and has a lot of scars all over him. He holds an odd looking axe and his clothes are gloves that look like there where made of straps and a loincloth with a metal plate on it. The second design looks like he was stitched back together. He is more of an ogre like creature but instead of legs for walking he has big bumpy muscular arms using them for walking. His weapon is a club that is hidden in his head that looks like a nose when hidden
Eyeball Head: This Gorgonite is an eyeball with a mouth it's main way of grabbing things is using optic nerves to hold a cross bow and it wears boots and a manacle with a chain on it. It may have been an early design for Ocula.

Slamfist[]

Before settling on the final color scheme for Slamfist the designers gave a few different designs a try.

One design had green skin and purple clothes. The only thing that remained the same for his final design was his strapping being brown.
Another design was very different with blue skin and very light blue spots. His clothes are cheetah print in this design.
Another design was much closer to the final design but the main difference was that his clothes are brown instead of dark blue with a small white patch on it running from the bottom of his chin to the bottom of his clothes. His strapping color was either white, grey or black instead of brown like the final design.
