Here's a new character I just dreamed up for the TFA Universe. I'm calling him Arias Prime, and while I haven't thought up all of his character details yet, I'm going to have him be a former Elite Guard warrior estranged from the Guard (similar to OP). He commands a small but elite group of warriors who protects against Decepticon uprisings on the outer rim (like the Rodimus team). The energon dagger he wields in his left hand is a legendary item of (as yet) unknown origins, which can deliver a lightning strike of red lightning similar to the Magnus hammer. I'm dreaming up some friends/enemies for him now, so more to come soon.
looks like he is mixed with bulkhead and ultra magnus.....not sure about the other one he is mixed with......
Looks like Ultra Magnus' shoulders, Bulkhead's 'wings', Sentinel Prime torso and not sure about the legs. Alt. mode pictures?
Yeah, I drew it from scratch, so I wasn't really thinking of it being an amalgam as I drew it. I guess I did kind of want it to have a Magnus-ish vibe, and the Bulkhead-esque shoulder covers would form a wrap around trailer shape (like a shell former). I'll see about drawing his alt mode soon, right now I'm working on a villain in a Fallen-ish color scheme.
