[QUOTE]Originally posted by Whorfin: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] Is that a Matt Jeffries design? Those wacky forward pylon thingies with their weird shapes seem like his stuff. [/qb][/QUOTE]AFAIK, the conventional wisdom is that they were merely created by some animator(s) at Filmation. But the more I look at TAS designs, the more I suspect that someone of Jefferies caliber, if not himself, was responsible for them. There are underlying similarities to the TOS shuttle design that are not obvious as well as variations on the standard TOS design themes (which I think are usually interpreted as simplifications to decrease the workload of animating), and to me this seems to indicate that possibly something more than superficial copying was going on. But that is speculative. I would love to know who designed them, and talk to whoever it was about the process ('was Jefferies involved even tangentially?', for example). If anyone has additional information on the TAS designs, please let us know. [/QB][/QUOTE]
