    Thanks. :) 

    Because of him voicing Slappy in here.

    Thanks guys. :) 

    Thanks. :D 

    To be fair Talon's inspiration was a lot like what you described.

    Now to introduce the main Turbomaster himself.

    [​IMG]

    Name: Thunderclash
    Role: Galactic crimefighter.
    Voice Actor: Will Arnett (Lego Batman voice.)
    Alt mode: Freightliner Argosy.
    Weapons: Hyperdrive cannon,energon axe,expert at boxing,throws boomarangs,grapple hooks,smoke bombs,etc

    Bio: Bombastic in his words as well as his fighting skills,Thunderclash wastes no time letting everyone know that's one of the galaxy's best heroes among the Autobot ranks. Being the head honcho of the Turbomasters also drives his urge to not let people forget that's he's hot stuff both on the war field and out of the battle field. As a result he's made many rivals among his fellow Autobots like Rodimus Major of the Lost Light crew and even Decepticons.

    Yet for all of his talk and battle moves,he's very much a deluded bot who makes himself out to be a bigger bot then he actually is. In truth he's pretty much a braggart that while he may be good at fighting pretty much lacks in being an actual heroic warrior you can trust due to his ego and pushy personality to drive himself to be epic leading most of his fellow Turbomasters to be greatly annoyed at him trying to hog the spotlight even calling him out on it. Deep down,Thunderclash is just an insecure bot who just didn't want to go down in history as being a loser.

    Thanks. :) 

    Kevin Conroy actually voices Matrix Optimus actually. :) 

    That may not be far off actually. :lol 

    Thanks. :) 

    Now to bring forth a comedic Decepticon duo that's very much inspired by another certain evil comedic duo from Wander Over Yonder.

    [​IMG]

    Name: Skullgrin
    Role: Decepticon sub commander/overseer of Decepticon colonies
    Voice Actor: Keith Ferguson (Lord Hater from Wander over Yonder)
    Alt mode: Hover Assualt vehicle (Think WFC Brawl)
    Weapons: Axe that turns into a guitar which sends out electrical beams,can shoot out lighting from hands,fires guided missiles from back.

    Bio: Rocking the universe with his awesome powers of lighting and strength,Skullgrin's the greatest Decepticon in the galaxy,installing fear to enemies,and impressing even the mighty Megatron himself. Armed with his trsuty SIC/Minicon partner,Turbo,Skullgrin brings epic mayhem and awesomeness to the stars.

    At least that what he wants people to believe. To be honest,he's rather a comedic,sad little bot who tries so hard to win the Decepticon higher ups respect but very often ends up failing in rather comically ways that makes him the laughing stock to both Autobot and Decepticons. This makes him from the inside quite bitter,angry and lonely which doesn't help that due to his blunders,Skullgrin resides to watch over certain Decepticon colonies like a security guard and very rarely gets to be on major Decepticon missions but even then he plays only a minor role. Despite this circumstances,Skullgrin remains motivated to prove himself to be great and powerful to everyone across the universe because he's not willing to go out with a whimper and he'll go to great lengths to do so. He also plays some mean metal music with his guitar.

    Name: Turbo
    Role: Minicon partner/SIC to Skullgrin's fleet.
    Voice Actor: Tom Kenny (Commander Peepers from Wander Over Yonder)
    Alt mode: Cybertronian minicar (Think CW Blackjack) and twin barreled blaster
    Weapons: Stun blaster,uses tiny switchblades for close combat,and can fire off lasers in gun mode for Skullgrin to use.

    Bio: Resourceful,intelligent and cleaver,Turbo carries out orders from Skullgrin and commands the new Battlecharger army recently made in mass productions from the Decepticon military defense forces and uses his wits to make sure each mission he's been assigned to succeeds without fail. As such out of the two bots regard him more fondly and with more respect then the con he serves under making one think why does he bother following a goof such as Skullgrin who continues to make Turbo frustrated because of Skullgrin's crazy antics.

    Truth be told,it's because they're in some funny way more like brothers or at least very geeky,and comedic duo that secretly they hold respect to one other and due to Turbo's own lonely life before meeting Skullgrin he makes sure to make Skullgrin have more common sense and lead him to the right direction as well as having dreams to being the first minicon in the Decepticon empire to lead his very own army among the Deception higher ups who don't hold much regard with such a notion.

    You have no idea. :lol 

    Yeah. :) 

    Thanks guys. :) 

    Now to bring in the main villain of RID15 who now resembles more of his AOE version visual wise and a bit darker then he was.

    [​IMG]

    Name: Steeljaw
    Role: Growing Decepticon gang leader
    Voice Actor: Troy Baker
    Alt mode: Cybertornian speedster truck (Think T30 Generations Orion Pax)
    Weapons: Extend his claws to do extreme slicing with blades on forearms to help. Uses stealth to strike at his foes. While more of a hand to hand combat fighter he does use hyper charged howls to send his foes flying and has a built in missile hidden in his chest.

    Bio: Having both the gifts of being clever and feral strength gives Steeljaw a deadly advantage over his enemies and victims. What also makes him scary is that despite his vicious appearance, he has the power to use his charisma to convince or manipulate people to do his bidding one way or another thus making it no surprise that Steeljaw has earned himself a name among Cybertron's most powerful figure to watch out for.

    That said he had to work his way up to the top and his beginnings weren't exactly without struggle. He was actually among the Decepticon refugees that came back to Cybertron to help start a new life after being among the most brutal of Decepticon colonies with dreams of having a new life and a chance to go places he wasn't able to go before. However due to the history between Autobot and Decepticon this made it harder since despite the refugee's main goals was to put aside the past and move on there was still some conflicts that had yet to be resolved thus making Steeljaw's life not anymore easy then his past life. Didn't help that most of the other cons to him aren't doing much to stop it. Eventually he made the decision to work his way up to being the new ruler of Cybertron and to bring what he sees as true justice and forming his own band called the Razors making up of similar minded Decepticons,Steeljaw altered his already wolfish features into resembling a humanoid version of a Joltwolf that the bounty hunter Lockdown uses for his bounty,to install fear to everyone and he'll go to any lengths to make sure his ambitions come to life. Even if it means by torturing other cons and other dark methods to do it.

    He looks like he can blow every house down with those looks. Great interpretation of one of the best new characters in the franchise.

    Thanks. I took a lot of inspiration of the Steeljaw hounds from AOE

    Thanks. :) 

    Thanks. :)  I wanted to bring him in here because of how cool he was in RID15.

    Thanks. :) 

    Now to show one of the more famous or infamous Primes with the design credits going to Stonecrusher who I requested in his thread one time to do. Nova Prime.

    [​IMG]
    Normal mode

    [​IMG]
    Dark mode AKA "Grand Scourge" mode.

    Name: Nova Prime
    Role: Prime/Bringer of the Golden Age of Cybertron
    Voice Actor: Viggo Mortensen
    Alt mode: Cybertronian battle trucker
    Weapons: Hammer that can extend and shoot out lighten,Summons an energon axe from arm,built in rail guns in arms.can fly up to mach 5,Has the power to go into a more powerful state during combat by inverting his colors and going into besarker mode but it only lasts for a while thus leaving him weakened when finished.

    Bio: Highly regarded for bringing about the golden age of Cybertron and for expanding their world into exploration and colonizing other worlds and dimensions,Nova Prime has brought forth what many had said to have brought Cybertron into the map of the overall universal eye thus earning their place among the most influential cultures. Nova himself has present himself as being a leader of both nobility and power as he takes up the wisdom he took after the Dynasty of Primes.

    Before he became a Prime however he wasn't always quite the noble bot,in fact he wasn't even a kind hearted bot to begin with. During the most hostile age of Cybertron,Nova time of helping his comrades into keeping their world together had made his already hostile personality grew further as he developed a condescending additude to those he sees as fools and he wasted no time looking down at those he feels have not a lot of intelligence. Unsurprisingly his fellow team mates didn't view him that well and often calling him out on his additude and outlook on life. However eventually after suffering much loss and conflict during the hostile era of his world,Nova eventually came to see his errors and strove to change himself and make amends to those hw wronged eventually earning the Matrix of Leadership and using what he fought during that period helped brought forth their world into the Golden age. He eventually decided to go into a voyage himself,lending the Matrix to his fellow comrade Delta Magnus as he lead what will be the final voyage he took and the last time Cybertron saw of him. Since then the day of his vanishing is celebrated because of the good he brought to Cybertron. They still wonder if he will return one day and if so will he still be the same bot who brought so much good or would be someone worse then even before he was a Prime.
