There's some really cool stuff going on here. It really makes me wish there were more movie homages in the Animated line, especially since the two are such polar opposites in terms of their style and approach to the franchise. The only thing I don't think is working quite the way you intended is the whole idea that he could pass for a good cop. To me, he just looks evil. Maybe if you redesigned the head or did a Shockwave/Longarm thing where he has two faces, one Autobot, one Decepticon, it might work a little bit better. Otherwise, great job!
It's nice, but I really hate the movie series. I would like to see another head sculpt, but I absolutely love the mouth idea.
It'd be perfect, except for the fact that the tyres are practically inside Barricade's hands. Maybe if you moved them back a little, it would be perfect.
Thanks for the comment, but I think you misinterpreted what I wrote (or maybe I just didn't write it down right). I'm not implying he's acting like a nice person (and thus have two very different personalities/looks), what I mean is that he's a bit like Oil Slick in The Arrival comic, or Starscream in the pilot episode: willing to ' co-operate' or act nice to an Autobot, only to stab him in the back. He's still very much so a Decepticon!
Very nice! If this was posted anywhere else and anonymously I would think that this was an actual leaked character sheet.
This, along with Ravenxl7's comment on that he'd definitely buy the toy, are pretty much the biggest compliments one can get! So thanks!! Oh, I'd LOVE to show this to Mr. Wyatt or anyone on the art-part of Animated, but what would I say? "Hey Mr. Wyatt, sorry to bother you but CHECKZ THIS OUT MAYN!!" not a good idea..
oh, maybe it sound goofy, but u should show it to Mr. Wyatt u can just paste it on in comments on his blog or twitter do it, man!
Hey, don't give up, man. Even John Nizzi's Longhaul made it into bigscreen. Who knows? Kudos, buddy! Great design!
This has got to be my all time favorite rendition of a movie bot put into a Animated style. Mainly for the reason that it's not a exact translation of the movie design just drawn in Animated style. You actually took artistic liberties, so props for that. Awesome design, I love this. lol I want the toy.
Haha, but Animated is cancelled after Season 3, and the toys are going on hiatus for ROTF *at best*. Might not even come back! Maybe I should Bay-i-fy an Animated character in order to get into the TF3 movie? lol
Really awesome design. Really cool you made a transformation sequence. Would definitely love to see that on the show!
