    Absolutely fantastic! Such wonderful Decepticons :D 

    Megatron's alt-mode is very intriguing. It's like the glorious fusion of TFA Megatron's VOTL design and massive shoulders, with FoC Megatron's RAAAAAAAAGE, and I love it! The front of the flyer folding into the abdomen, that huge bulky powerful chest, with the awesome shoulders and the black bulk on the forearms and that gorgeous twin-rail cannon! And it's so amusing compared to the thinner legs; the hip pocket-things look pretty darn cool and I'm loving the vents on the knees. I believe that is the tail folding out to make the legs? Neat :D 

    I love the oddly flat feet, and goodness, does he have a collar? He does! Oh, and that crazy rage-angry face, that's epic right there. Wonderful :D 

    And the vehicle mode! This crazy hover-jet flying tank thing, with the little wheels and turrets, it's simultaneously adorable and terrifying. And quick question; considering the huge symbol on the side and the little lines match his chest, does the side of the vehicle make the torso?

    And Starscream.

    Holy mother of Meta.

    I love your Starscream.


    The colours. The jet mode. The pointy-up toes. The freaking missile launcher. The fins and boosters on the calves. And oh my, dat smirk.

    I can't do a full review for your Starscream. He's too epic, I can't concentrate :lol 

    Well played, Paxtin :D

    Thanks. I'm really glad you guys are digging these.

    Yes, it does. I basically took the transformation concept from G1 Meg and applied it to a drop-ship alt-mode. It's not exactly the G1 transformation, but the concept is there. Mostly in the chest.

    Damn you for appealing to my OCD. I might do that...

    I think the reason it looks so odd to me is that Prime's nose starts at the edge of his helmet, which gives the impression of a TFA-style nose despite being a different colour. Megatron and Starscream's noses, on the other hand, seem to start on their forehead, which just sticks out in a distracting way.

    My god, these are just amazing designs!
    Although, I'm having a bit of difficulty deciphering how Megs transforms. If the cockpit becomes his abdomen, how do his legs, the tail end of the vehicle mode, get down there? Oh well, a totally awesome design nonetheless! I'd love to see that in a cartoon and in toy form.

    Oh, and the same goes for Starscream. And Optimus. And Bumblebee.

    I'll admit, I'm no toy engineer, so my transformation concepts are vague at best. But in the case of Megatron, his hips would basically be on like a robotic spine of sorts that folds down in the back.

    Screamer actually has a similar thing going on.

    I guess I can see what you mean. I'm still personally happy with how it looks, though.

    Wow, nice work. I especially like your decepticons. I'm glad to see a Megatron that isn't a tank or a jet :rock

    I particularly like how there's "life" in the vehicle modes. The cartoon style makes them still seem like sentient entities even in their "disguises."

    Wow! I love these designs, they're so unique, yet they still pay homage to their older incarnations. All these designs are excellent, except for the heads, their a little wonky for my taste, with the exception of your Starscream's, who is just overall brilliant :D
