Jason Ward of Making Star Wars has seen images of the Mega SSD Snoke uses and the Dreadnaught is not it. He describes it looking like a massive Stealth Bomber.

Huh, I kinda like that design better than I thought I would based on the scuttlebutt. It looks like it could climb the side of the Empire State Building, if it had the mind to.
It's from the Star Wars Show so not a spoiler for our purposes. It's an official release.
I can maybe get to like that walker, but that Star Destroyer is just boring as heck! I could accept that ship in a SW game, but for a main ship in a movie? No way. You can find way better designs on Ansel Hsiao's site: http://fractalsponge.net/ and he has done stuff for SW books.
I didn't think I'd like the new walker, but with these new photos, I really like it. It looks mean and sturdy, not to mention highly destructive and dangerous.
The juggernaut...don't like it. It looks like a giant slice of metal pizza. I like the idea, but the final product is lackluster to say the least.

Neither of these designs makes my inner 10 year old squeal with glee and excitement.....
The Walker's front legs just look goofy...gimmicky....
The dreadnaught reminds me of a fan designed Star Destroyer...you know, where they go, " it's 10 times bigger than everything else, it's got 6000 cannons....it can destroy countries from orbit, it has a squillion tie fighters...."
All this coupled with space penguins, space owls and space horse races makes me really quite depressed.......it's as if Star Wars is in the hands of someone who just doesn't get it.

The slice of pizza design is really a disappointment from the design team. They are killing SW with horrible designs. I am not sure of the new ATAT, I don't hate it but feel its a waste opportunity to show newer agile walkers. Anyway, can't wait to see how older Boba Slave 1 will look like and who gets frozen this time.

This was the perfect opportunity to make Hoojibs canon. Rian Johnson's SWIQ must be low.
Well, it's really more about actual 10 year olds as opposed to inner ones.
If they dig it it's a win.
I´d like to know what he likes in designs. And design concepts.
I, too, have to see what the overall impression of the walker is going to be, how he walks and comes across when in action. But atm I do not like the design, since it looks like two separate concepts. If they had chosen to change the hind legs, too, okay, but that cross looks like its been split in the middle and does not know whether to be an elephant or an ape. Apephant, maybe? Or Gorrhino? Anyway, I am not particularly fond of several CW and PT designs, but the heavy cannon walker whatsisname looks totally coherent compared to this... beast
The AT-M6 would have got a strong pass if it were not for those over sized " fangs " benieth the head of it, and those two stupidly placed grills eitherside of the neck. I still don't love the idea that it so closely resembles a gorilla because it REMINDS you its been made to look like a gorilla. That hampers the design aesthetic. Still its better then I hoped when I saw the rough drawings and the real proof of success will be in the way it animates itself on screen during the battle. Its cutting it abit to close to a kids cartoon giant robot animal at the moment for my tastes.
That dreadnought confounds me. Full credit to the inclusion of the huge bombardment weapons ,I've always wanted to see those on a Star Destroyer. However, the rest of the ship looks terrible, unless that huge playing field like deck is supposed to be that flat for a specific reason ie : as a platform to assemble a planetary invasion force on like an aircraft carrier, if not then I loath it. I don't think even that could even excuse that WTF bridge.

Looks good from the front firing its guns. It was partly inspired by a gorilla, there's some explanation from one of the design supervisors here:

I agree about the new Star Destroyer, though, it's too flat and static.
