    So I've been more interested in the Cyberverse guys as of late. Maybe it's the lower price range, or maybe it's just because I find them rather fun to play with. Either way, I like 'em. So late last year, I got a hold of Quickblade Bumblebee, and drew him up because I thought he was a neat little guy.

    And also, really... How often does the REPAINT get the fanart? Usually the repaint is shuffled off to the obscure purgatory where other shelfwarming toys go to keep Energon Ironhide, Movie Mudflap, and Injector company. Who could have known that's what he was going to look like in Season 3. So yeah, he was a little fun to draw. Well, over the last few days, I've been looking at the other guys in the lineup, the toy-only guys like Tailgate, Fallback and Flamewar. (And possibly Sinnertwin.) And I was thinking it might be fun to draw them. So I began with Tailgate.

    I didn't want to copy the Cliffjumper character model, basing it more off the Cyberverse toy instead, embracing the smaller toy's compromises to the larger more intricate toys. (Making the horns larger and more blunt, blue instead of silver, ect.)

    Hope you like.

    Sweet,though you can give ol' tailgate a different head rather then just a altered cliffjumper noggin (which really why i never get why they just made him a straight repaint,i always see cliffjumper's head being iconic for being well... cliffjumper's head.) but other then that im loovin' the art.

    I actually thought about giving him a more G1-ish head, but decided against it, favoring to be more faithful to the toy. I drew it differently than if I had drawn CJ, giving him a smaller chin, thicker horns that come off the front as opposed to the sides, the "chin goatee" (whatever it's called), and a larger head, making him look younger than CJ.

    If it was up to me, I'd come up with some backstory about how he's not the same Tailgate that was once partnered with Arcee, that he just shares the same name... But I just wanted to draw him. I'll leave that stuff to writers. :)

    Those are great! They'd make great modernized box art.

    And another one. This time, Fallback. Unlike Breakdown, I kind of imagine him being like his toy: Like a really short but really tough runt. The other bots, like Tailgate, Bumblebee and even Arcee would stand taller than he would be.

    Hope you like it.

    Great artwork! I really like Fallback. (Tailgate's horns remind me of Momotaros from Kamen Rider Den-O)

    I really enjoy your art style, its really nice and clean while still having a lot of detail. If anything i could critique is that the hip and upper leg of Fallback don't seem to line up. Otherwise, fantastic work.

    I was trying for some sort of "small hip, wide thigh" sort of thing there, which of course, now that you brought it to my attention... It does look kinda off. I'll keep an eye on that for the future.

    Sure. I just wanna get his toy first, so I can draw it from that.

    An we've got Flame War now.

    [​IMG]

    It's said that she's supposed to be obsessed with Arcee, so I figured I'd draw it and take it to an extreme. Even to the point of carving her own face to look more like her's and cutting gashes into her arms for each encounter with Arcee that Flame War's failed to defeat her. Kind of like a "Single White Female" counterpart with them.

    Hope you like.

    Wonderful job with everybot. :thumb 

    Normally, I'm not a fan of that line, but you make me appreciate those little bots more than ever.
