    Very nice improvement to a TFA style Optimus, especially his face. Love both modes! :thumb

    Screamer's half way done. Going to get started on Megatron.

    I have an idea for Elita-1. Will probably do a Arcee design eventually.

    Probably going to stay away from gender bending. Might do a Slipstream, I donno.

    Definitely looking forward to Starscream, Megatron and Slipstream if you choose to do her.
    Also would be interested in what Shockwave or Soundwave would look like as well

    Meg is taking a tad longer then I expected. Trying to work out his transformation into a cartoony design was giving me a little more grief then I cared for. but I think I got something that looks pretty good.

    I totally can't...Trying to figure out a relatively plausible, all be it cartoony, transformation concept is hard enough without trying to fit in a third mode.

    Meg and Screamer are done.

    From here on in, now that I got the main top 4 out of the way, any characters I do next will be sort of chosen at random, and done whenever I fill like it.
    But I will probably draw more.

    Aw hell yeah, these are awesome. I love Megatron's bulkiness, it really gives him a menacing look, and the melding of Animated and Prime designs really works. I also really love SS's chest transformation, it's really unique. Screamer's pointy shoes are kinda weird, but I can live those.

    Not quite a fan of the noses, though. It's just a bit weird with the Con's having separate nose pieces but the 'Bot's having the nose-as-helmet-extension dealie that Animated and Prime did. Maybe that distinction was deliberate on your part, but I'm not really feeling it.

    That's odd that you'd say that given the cons noses are built into their helmets. Just not TFA style. Fact, the only one out of all these that has the TFA "nose" is Bee.
    Prime has a nose type nose, but most of it is under his Primal style nose guard.

    Mix of TFA with G1 and Prime...................NERD-GASM!!!!

    This time you should do a mix of con and bot. Like have a bot on on side or bottom and a con vice-versa. That way this whole process goes by quicker.

    WHEELJACK AND SOUNDWAVE

    or

    ARCEE AND AIRACHINID

    Oh my God. That Starscream is GLORIOUS!

    And Megatron is pretty cool too. I like his collar, it's a need addition.

    I'm really digging the latest designs! :thumb  Megatron is pretty heavly influcned by his Animated counterpart but has elements of Prime and G1 thrown in too. Also that I like how he has a VTOL mode and that he has a different gun on his right arm.

    Starscream really gives out vibes of the Joker including the toes which works. :thumb

    You've done a great job at making these heavily G1-inspired designs seem really fresh and interesting. I hope you do many, many more.
