Why do all of them look like undead dinos?

 

And today we have the 2nd of the join second-placers from the vote, being Gaea Megatron!

Spoiler: Bio

Originally a minor from Tarn, Megatron was one of Liege Maximo's generals during the great Cybertronian war, taking the battle to numerous planets aboard his starship the Nemesis. But as with many, over time Megatron became disenchanted with the cause, and when Liege and Megatron's air commander fell in the final battle, Megatron used the opportunity to vanish, having not been heard of since...

And as with before, thanks for Stone for helping with this design.

ENJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ooh, that Megatron looks awesome. I like the colours, and the under-slung cannon is a nice change from the traditional arm-mounted

 

Is his alt-mode one of the traditional ones, or is it something new?

 

Well, it's something I don't think Megatron hasn't properly been. A four-legged Surface-to-Air heavy artillery turret. You'll probably find a pic of it on Stone's thread.

 

You haven't ceased to impress yet

 

Been a long few days, so I really wasn't feeling up to doing a full on new pics, so I guess a retool that at this point probably took as much effort should do. So today it's Nightracer!

Spoiler: Bio

Nightracer was among the Decepticons who joined from Velocitron before the colony worlds were cut off from Cybertron to protect them from attack, all records of them wiped from nearly every database on Cybertron. Nightracer is a fast minded individual, thinking ahead of herself, and loves the thrill of a race. She always makes sure to strike so far that her foes don't see her at all, helped by the rapid fire guns she carries on her when on a mission. Nightracer also has a soft spot for the Autobot Sideburn.

ENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The world needs more Nightracer.

 

And today we have the next Dinobot, Slug! Another case of a redoing an old design!

Spoiler: Bio

Slug is an extremely violent sort, having been demoted and arrested for executing P.O.W.s that were under his watch, intimidating members of his division who tried to call him out on it and inform the authorities. After spending several decades in an Autobot prison built specifically for housing dangerous Autobots, Slug was broken out by Deathsaurus' crew and experimented on by his scientists. Now armed with a violent new Triceratops mode, Grimlock and the rest of the Dinobots have to go to great lengths to make sure he doesn't step out of line and endanger his fellow teammates and the newborn sparks of their colony Jurassitron.

And of course, part four of Genesis of the Dinobots!

ENJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Eh, we double posting tonight! Now we have another retool, Schism for Nitro Zeus.

Spoiler: Bio

Schism was a Decepticon warrior, and one of air commander Obsidian's chief lieutenants, Schism would rather duel against his foes with his swords rather than in a dogfight. Schism is thankful he has a deep seated hatred of another air commander, Starscream for his vanity, having once trained with him prior to the war. Schism is also extremely offensive to Eukayrians, thinking them to be a lower species than the standard Cybertronian. God help him if he ever meets an organic beast.

For anyone curious, Schism is a Decepticon from the Chinese game Transformers Online from 2012. The one that isn't an overwatch rip-off.

SO ENJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/SPOILER]

 

So, remember ages ago when Stone did that community character thing, where he got you guys to come together and create an OC? I thought I'd let you guys come together and work with me to create a completely new character!

So the way this'll work is I'll set out a number of polls, which you guys have to vote on. Then based on the results, I'll post a few more polls to get more specific, review the results of them, and repeat until we have all the specifications for the new characters, it shall be drawn!

So without further ado, lets get on with the first wave of polls.

What gender are they?

What alt-mode should they have?

What is there body-structure?

What faction are they?

Look forward to your responses, and...

...of course...

ENJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So based on these pulls, we have established that...

The Character Will be Female

The Character Will Transform into an Aquatic Vehicle

The Character Will have a Bulky Body

The Character Will be an Independent Bounty Hunter

So, that leads us to the next round of questions!

What is their alt-mode?

What is their face design?

What is their primary colour?

What is their secondary colour?

What is their weapon style?

What is their place of forging (birth)?

So once again...

ENJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So, now I can safely say that...

They will transform into a warship

As face was a three-way tie, I will go for the first of the options to reach the highest number of votes
They will have an exposed face

They will primarily be blue in colour and secondarily black

They will primarily utilise a rocket launcher

They were forged on Aquatron

So moving onto the next wave of questions!

Design

What style shoulders do they have?

What style hands do they have?

What decals do they have?

What is their optic/biolight colour?

What back kibble do they have?

What style rocket launcher do they have?


Personality/History

Why did they become a bounty hunter?

What personality traits do they have?

Who do they admire the most?

What is their greatest fear?



AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...

...we need a name! So suggest your name ideas below, and I'll pick the one I think works best! And if you want, you can suggest names for this character's ship as well!

SO ENJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Names, names... hm. I'll just spitball naval terms and randomly spliced words and see if one sticks

Stormwind

Washout

Beachead

Waverunner

Seaker (like "seeker", but "sea")

Corvette

Dreadnought

Drifter

Fairlead

Forecastle

Windjammer

Tophammer

Sterndrive

Thunderwave

Boiler

Shoal (a shoal is a patch of shallow water that can pose a hazard to oceanic navigation, in case you were wondering)

Shift Tide

 

Salvo.

 

I second Corvette

 

Wavemaker

 

Searockette/Searocket

 

Ooh, defintely that first one.

 

Searocket.

Corvette is just too generic, considering that's basically just what they turn into. We're not making a Go-Bot here.
