Since I gave a look on the Allspark Almanac II on youtube, I decided to make my own Almanac pages with known characters re-designed by myself, but just front part and alt-mode 'cause I'm lazy and busy with the school.
I decided to start with the Stunticon, why? Because I had some inspiration to draw Wildrider.



Here is the victory obsessed, now fight obsessed, Drag Strip!
I've decided to make a restyle on him in addition to the redesign, with a new personality, a "real" drag car as Alt-mode and making his look like an "Hooligan", so the weapons.
Considered that Drag Strip is the right arm of Menasor, he is the vice commander of the Stunticons, loyal to Motormaster and not beared from Breakdown.
The only things I wanted to keep to him are the visor and the yellow details (for keeping his G1 color a bit).


Bio:
He is a mechanic and like Dead End said: "medic" of the group, with the same height of Lockdown, then a "big guy".
He uses his tools as weapons against the Autobots, and they surely hurt.
The Stunticons combine themselves to become Menasor.



Here is the second one!
It's Dead End (yes, i've changed the colors but his personality is intact), and you can see the Russian accent of Wildrider too.
I've also kept his battle mask like his G1 counterpart has.
You can clearly read his bio with Wildrider's mention on him.


This is the most fastest character I've redesigned, and it's also one of I really like. I've done this 2 days ago and I was going to relase it next week but I've decided to relase it now because I'm not one who likes to wait.
So, here is the paranoid one of the Stunticons, Breakdown!
I've almost made the same colors on the same parts (but only in robot mode) and done his eyes taking reference from his WfC counterpart and adding 2 little eyeball too for giving him a "crazy" face look.
His function is scout, because of his young age and he's also the fastest of the Stunticons.

I really like the way the body came out, but the head seems like its lacking a dimension. I think you should move that epic jaw forward to show more of that evil teeth look. Also, it looks as if the front of his upper torso is looking at us more than it should. But other than those 2 points, i think this is a wonderful rendition!

 

Thanks, but if I move his jam, he will look like another Stunticon I'm doing.
I'm glad you like it anyway.

 

But wild rider in g1 was insane not even close to a medic

 

He's not a normal medic, he's a mechanic, but sometimes he repairs/upgrades his comrades or himself.

 

I like the alt mode and the color choices, albeit a bit of gray on the hood to break it up ala G1 might be a nice touch.

His function was also Terrorist, something we'll never see on a card backing ever again. This Wildrider is a custom Animated Universe toon - so he's not mine or your beloved psychopathic sports car.

I like to think that a robot functioning as a Mechanic would be the equivalent of an EMT or someone well-trained in first-aid when it comes to the repairs of his team. Wildrider could prolly keep their energon inside of em long enough for Hook and Scrapper to get there.

PS: Anyone else think its kinda sad that the Decepticons best medic is probably Shockwave?

 

I'm glad you agree with my ideas, anyway I don't know about Shockwave as medic...
The only thing I can say is that I've completed another Stunticon, this time his look compared to his G1 counterpart looks a bit irrecognizable but the personality is the same...

 

another fantastic piece!

 

This is his version of wildrider, its his decision what wildrider is and what not. Cant wait to see the other stunticons i am very glad that so many artists attach value to the stunticons.

 

Thanks!

The reason that I made Wildrider as mechanic and not just a medic is because in TFA some characters have different roles, starting with Optimus Prime, from the great commander to a repair bot... so, why not from terrorist to mechanic?
Anyway I'm glad you like my works.  

 

Added Dead End!!!

 

Looks good, and i love wildriders german accent.

 

Isn't that Russian?

 

I like Deadend quite a bit, but i would think that such an "emo-bot" would have a slouch...Also i question the sheep feet? I mean, they look cool, but i don't understand. But the overall design im really diggin man, and the spikes always is a plus for decepticons!
Also russian accent is another +1   love russian accents... 

 

Yeah, Wildrider said "emo-bot OR something like that", it's uncertain of what he is.

About the feet I've decided to change style because before I did his feet like those of Wildider, then I changed them.

I've also decided to add the Russian accent to Wildrider because Russians are all tall (yeah, he's too big for be a car, bigger than Optimus).

I'm glad you like the design.

 

You're welcome. By the way, as far as Russians go, yeah you're right! I have like 3 russian friends, a northern Slav, and a Ukrainian friend, and out of all of them, only one is shorter than me, and im 6'2"!!

 

Added Breakdown, check the 1st page for the description!

 

That 0_0 face just made that Breakdown. Nice.  

 

Thanks!
