Tell some of the most talented concept artists in Hollywood to craft designs for a massive mech that's more than 9 feet tall and you're gonna get some crazy ideas. We speak from experience.

From the moment the WIRED mech that ruled over Comic-Con got the green light, the cameras were rolling to record the craziness. The beginning stages of any project -- especially one so cool as this -- are messy. The wizards went wild, and some of their ideas never made it past the drawing boards. Others made it to the prototype stage before being left on the workshop floor.

In this installment of our weeklong series looking at the making of the mech, you get a peek at the creative process of how the wizards at Legacy Effects came up with the original design for our favorite cybernetic behemoth.
