    Thanks guys. :D  I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. :) 

    Well some of them. I'm going to base off many of the characters off of old world armour from both Asia and Europe but you'll certainly see characters based off of Samurai armour as well as Ninja styles.

    Thanks again. :) 

    Next up we have the Emperor of Destruction himself.

    [​IMG]

    Megatron voiced by David Kaye:
    Weapon of choice: Fusion rail cannon that converts into a blade
    Alt mode: B2 Stealth Bomber Google Image Result for http://www.spoki.lv/upload/articles/41/413890/images/_origin_B2-Stealth-bomber-2.jpg

    A cold,caculating and maniplative tyrant Megatron commands his troops in a hard yet effective way. While he's very strong in combat his most dangerous aspect is his cunning and the ablity to twist others either Autobot or Decepticon to do his will. His weakness however is his arrogence.His backstory involves him used to work with Optimus and is fairly friends with him during the war. However Optimus had shown signs of aggression in combat which caused a rift between him and Megatron which he turned on Optimus acussing him of betraying thier friendship and also blaming the Autobots for not living up to the promises that they made to keep peace and freedom alive. Optimus now knowing what he had down tried to make amends and tried to help Megatron but he dissapered ten years ago shortly after the war. He returned as the next leader of the crown of the Emperor for Destruction. By that time the position of leader and the power that came along with it had made Megatron's already high ambitous nature into an aggorgent and cruel one that corupted him and he's looking forward to meet with his old friend Optimus again.

    Next: Arcee.

    Really cool Megatron. I'm seeing an homage to IDW Stealth Megatron with Movie Megatron's head. All in all, Great Job! :thumb

    "I am Megatron, Leader of the Decepticons, Emperor of Destruction! And you shall know my name when I cast my vengeance upon you!"

    Seriously, though, that looks amazing. Naturally I dig the optics.

    Actually my friend, that's where you're wrong. You CAN rush art, but then it would turn out all sloppy.

    his feet are huge. ever wear heavy boots or cleets and your feet kind of weigh you down and you walk really awkwardly? that's the only way poor megs could walk with those feet on that tiny, frail body.

    Thanks. :)  I wanted to have the IDW Megatron as my main inspiration.

    Thanks. :lol 

    Thanks. I liked how the optics came out too.

    True.

    :D 

    BW Megatron is also a big influence.

    Well I'm not that good of an artist yet.

    Again thanks. :) 

    Here's the Autobot's offcial go at it gal! :D

    Arcee

    Voiced by Sumalee Motano:
    Weapons: Wrist blades,Hand guns, Kitanas which can form into a sniper rifle. Wheel on her back acts as a shield when detached from her back.
    Alt mode: Blue Motorcycle
    Photos by SmokeScreen-TFPrime on deviantART
    Kawasaki Ninja 250 R Blue Custom Sportbike Motorcycle | SportbikeMotorcycle.Info

    Sniper and warrior of the team Arcee's skilled in using deadly martial arts and in firing at a long range distance if she has too though she's also skilled in using small firearms for close combat. She tends to be quite impulsive,a little non social and keeps things to herself and a bit of a hot head at times which at times does bring about stress to her commander Optimus. However this was due to a trumatic loss of her brother during the war. Despite this she strongly respects her leader who tried to help her cope with it and offered her the choice to come on his team. She also has a sibling like bond with Hot Shot and her human partner Jack Darby who are helping her move out of her grief and bitterness slowy but surely. It may be a matter of time however that the one who cause he grief in the first place will soon come back to haunt her.

    Next: Starscream.

    Called it.

    Seriously, I can't see any differences between this and her Prime counterpart.

    Well, actually there are slight differences. Her wings aren't as pronounced, amongst others.

    But really, try adding more details to separate her Prime and Matrix counterparts.

    I don't care too much that she looks like her prime version; you clearly added your own touches to her, and she isn't any more similiar to the Prime version than Animated Arcee is to G1. Good call on changing the weapons and giving her flat feat though.

    I have two questions. First, do you come up with transformation schemes for your characters? I see the wheels, but nothing else really screams motorcycle kibble. Second, (out of curiosity, I don't mind) did you give her a wheel shield because of my version? Either one of my ideas has caught on, or the two of us had a 'great minds' moment; so it's really cool either way.

    Well I for one welcome more Prime based Arcee in the future. Atleast it's obvious that she's got some pink.

    Yeah looking at this now I'm thinking of redoing her look and backstory just to help make her stand out but first I'm going to work on two more entries.


    Thanks and yeah TFA Arcee isn't too different from G1 Arcee in terms of appearence so it can be said for my version with the TFP Arcee but again I'll redo her.

    And yes I do come up with the transformation schemes. Optimus transforms like the FE Voyager Optimus but the windows split open like the HFTD Voyager,Megatron transforms like how he does in the IDW and in TFP,and Arcee's transformation's based off her PE Motobot with the legs,RID witht he arms,and seats on her arms like TFW Prowl.

    Agreed. We do need some more TFP based Arcees in the future as well as a G1 Arcee figure to help please the hardcore G1 fans. :) 

    Here's my version of the Decepticon second in Command Starscream but not in a way you know.

    [​IMG]

    Starscream

    Voiced by Steve Blum or Michel Dobson.
    Alt mode is a F22 Raptor

    Weapons: Super sonic speed,Swords made from his wings,and Machine guns on arms with lasers built in.

    Bio: Second in Command of the Decepticons Starscream's skilled in the most famous flight combat skills imaginable and he can dish out the most damage in the skies. However he has characterisitcs that make him stand out from the Decepticons and it's that of having honor,respect and questions about if he's doing the right thing and if being on the Decepticons is the true path for doing good in the world. This often land him into clashes with Megatron because of this characteristic and as a result Starscream resents his leader greatly for that and at times thinks of getting back at him somehow. There may be a hint of Starscream deserting the Decepticon army but for now he's content on this side.

    Next: Grimlock.
