    So Veterans day is coming up and in honor of my deceased father who served in the Navy, I want to make a Transformer based on him. I already got the Alt mode selected and that will be a Navy Destroyer which was the ship my dad served on. But I kind of need an idea of how his bipedal form is going to look. I'm aiming to draw it in the Prime/RID artsyle.

    I need a reference for a big transformer due to the size of a Navy Destroyer so that why I can start piecing together in my mind how he should look.

    Check out Armada Tidal Wave or Energon Omega Supreme. Those are two big Transformers that turn into ships.

    Well I just finished up the sketch of him. I named him Anchorbash. I had studied pictures of Tidal Wave, the Prime designs, and Navy Destroyers to make sure I got the details for him just right.

    :thumb  Glad I could help! Condolences about your father. I'm sure he'd be proud to see this tribute you're making for him.

    I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. IMO, the Transformers world needs more large TF's for troop carriers and large-scale destruction!

    Oh, and lol nipple guns. :D
