    Thanks I'm glad I'm getting a better handle on my designs. :) 

    Thanks that was the intent. :) 

    Huh..come to think of it it does...

    Wreck It Ralph refernced FTW. :D 

    He also has elements of Alphonse Elric from Fumm Metal Alchimist as well as Tetsujin 28 thrown in too.

    Thanks. :) 

    Now for everyone's favourite violent prankster! Whirl!

    [​IMG]


    Name: Whirl
    Role: Weapons expert/Flier
    Voice Actor: Alex Hirsch
    Weapons: Machine guns,gattling guns,granades,clubs,hammers,and other random objects Whirl pulls out. H can also use his helicoptor blades as a sword and cane.
    Alt mode: Apache Helicoptor

    Bio: Consdered to be the grand pooba of loose cannons,Whirl is perhaps the most zaniest and violent of Autobots to date with his somewhat uncanny means to use many weapons as well as making a seemingly ordinary object into a weapon. He also normally plays pranks on both his foes and his allies making many if not all of them want to go after his throat for driving them up the wall with his antics.

    However there was a time that he was a completly different person in the past but one bad day changed all that. Whirl was drafted to the great war against his own will thereby trying to stay alive on the battlefield. This left him quite shakened up by the violence so he was grateful that when the war was over he was able to be a cronosmith and sell watches at his shop. Buisness boomed as he was succesfully making watches of top quality. This got the attention of the corrupt side of the nobles of Cybertron and they demanded to have most of his profits as they did give him some support when he was first doing buisness. Knowing that they'd just take away all of his profits he rufused making them use the machines called heavies to destroy his shop in front of him. Losing his home and shop left Whirl in a bad situation mentally and after failing to find a job to keep up a living dozens of times he finally snapped.

    He went after the ones who wrecked his life using all sorts of demented comedic antics on them causing some destruction to most of Iacon as a result. He was later captured and thrown into a mental home for treatment. A well known doctor named Rung was able to have sessions with Whirl which in the end helped Whirl a good deal and was let out to start a new life. He later signed on board for Atlas Major's ship for exploration. Despite the treatment given to him Whirl can still be rather unpredictible and it should be wise to keep your gaurd up.

    Next: Sunstreaker.

    Whirl definitely wasn't what I was expecting, but he looks AWESOME. The top hat and suit appearance is a very nice touch, and I like the twist on his mono-eye. Mouth will take some getting used to for me, but hey, it's Whirl! I can't complain.

    Man, I LOVE this. It's so different, but still has all the necessary characteristics of Whirl. Brilliant way to work in his mono-eye.

    I mean it show's that in his past he was sane. Then his smile is saying "....you'd think that huh?" I love the IDW history. Great job can't wait too see Whirl in action. Also can't wait too see the snobbish pain in the af-.........I...I mean Sunstreaker!!! :popcorn

    Love his zany old fashioned appearance, and it is very creative how you fit in the single eye and helicopter rotors as a cane.

    Does he have faces on his shoulders and crotch? I know it is based on the Prime decepticons, but that is disturbing.

    Even though I don't know much about Whirl's character since I never read any of the IDW's More Than Meets The Eye comic series, I really like your design of him. He looks classy in a demented sort of way if that makes any sense.

    Thanks. :) 

    Yep. :) 

    :D 

    Thanks and that's not actually a real mouth. It's more like something for him to express with. If you've seen the show Time Squad with how the robot character emotes? It's something similer to that.

    :) 

    Thanks. :)  I wanted to still envoke what made Whirl well..Whirl. :lol 

    Interesting choice.

    You may Sunstreaker to be a little more different then you think. :) 

    Thanks. :)  It does really add to his already crazy nature. :) 

    In a way yes but it's more like decorations to creep his enimies out. :lol 

    It does make sense. :)  Sort of like the Joker. :ev: 

    Next up is a well known G1 character but done in quite a different manner...Sunstreaker!

    [​IMG]

    Name: Sunstreaker
    Role: Scout
    Voice Actor: Melissa Joan Hart or Gray Delise.
    Alt mode: Acura NSX Sports car. http://stwot.motortrend.com/files/2012/07/2015-Acura-NSX-front-three-quarter.jpg
    Weapons: Thunder Staff.Shock pistols,Self Defense techniques,able to withstand heat for a long time.

    Bio: A well known and popular celebrity on the Entertainment district of Iacon Sunstreaker's sassy additude and wit has captured many fans across many cities on Cybertron with her own talk show simply called The Sunstreaker show which covers many topics of the current years as well as sneak peeks at upcoming films,guest stars,interviews the works. However lately her ratings had started to drop due to some low interest among the audiance. It didn't help that most of her crew were complaning about Sunstreaker's flaw of having a type of shallow nature not to mention being headstrong and vain thrown at them. One of her attempts to gain back ratings was to attend to the same charity place that Hot Shot and Perceptor were working at the time. She was one of the people that didn't got out unscathed from it and as a result wanted to kill them but knew that it would only paint her in a bad image.

    Finally after failed attempts she signed on to Atlas Major's crew to film daily vlogs of her having adventures in order to gain back viewers. Bringing a portible webcam with her she recorded her activites on board with training with Mirage and making a few friends like Bulkhead. One wonders if this may eventually help her to see things that's more then just being a celebrity.

    Next: Mirage.

    Love the sun motif going through her chest and arms. Personally, I don't mind that she pulled a TFA Red Alert (wasn't Sunstreaker a female in TFA as well? I think I kind of remember that.)

    Nice actual use of sun decals.

    Your Sunstreaker is brilliant because I've always felt like if there is one thing Transformers is missing it's an entertainment industry.

    Thanks. :) 

    Again thanks. I figured she should have some aspects that envoke her namesake.

    Yeah me too. :)  Miss Hart does fit a character like this.

    Matriz Sunstreaker: Oh hey uh....Male version of me?

    Well actually a female Sunstreaker was an idea that was thought up by derrick J Wayyte but if I'm right didn't see a pic of. So I figured it would be an interesting idea to explore.

    You'll certainly like Mirage. :) 

    Yeah Cybertron could really use an entertainment industry espcially after a great war or two.

    Next up is the stealth fighter Mirage.

    [​IMG]

    Name: Mirage
    Role: Warrior/SIC
    Voice Actor: Dave Wittenberg
    Alt Mode: Formula Racer
    Weapons: Arm Scythes,Cyber Revolvers,Scatterblaster,Gear Shredder.Able to turn invisible for stealth missions and to sneak up on foes.

    Bio: As one of the most wealthy of higher class bots on his native planet of Volecitron,Mirage has become quite the sensation with the press with his talented racing ablities as well as hosting some of the wildest parties at his mansion. Despite this he has a rather impateince streak as well as having little to no tolerence to those whom he thinks acts rather foolish however he doesn't make it known. Lately though he and his family name is under a crisis due to the charity ball that Hot Shot was that he himself had taken a part of funding it. Desperate to get money in he joined up with Atlas Major's crew so that once he's been in enough exploration he'd get enough payment from Atlas to help rebuild his life. While not an anti social fellow he prefers to keep himself alone often to conserve his thoughts.

    Next: Que.
