Dave's All-Encompassing TFA Character Thread (Now With 100% More Menasor)

So instead of constantly making a new thread each time I make a new character or group of characters, they'll just be updated to here, capiche?



“Skids is one of these new ‘bots. Fresh off the assembly run, and got through boot camp by the skin of their teeth. He’s always seen with that one orange one… Ring? Rang? These two can’t keep their mouths shut, and it’s even worse because this guy is our ship’s theoretician. I can tell this is gonna be a loooong mission…” – Sergeant Kup



“Whirl. A silent type. Maybe he’s got a broken processor, or maybe it’s because he’s got no mouth. He’s our ship’s maintenance specialist. That eye of his scares the living Pit out of me. It stares into your soul, floating around in that blue noggin. Whirl can be an asset though, because he’s got a warrior’s spark.” – Tailgate



“Personality Profile – Designation: Tailgate

Ze Junge exhibits a child-like, eager personality. Has a thirst for danger. At times exhibits obsessive compulsive traits. Likes to follow behind vehicles very closely. Zeems to be caused by trauma in relation to his mutterboard.” - Rung



“Outer Rim Decepticons are a nasty bunch. They make the ones in the normal sectors seem normal, but no bot is more sophistically militant as Spinister. He’ll drink a glass of the purest, highest quality motor oil while dining on your spark. He’s different from the rest of them, but yet, he’s one in the same. A living Cybertronian contradiction.” - Swerve



"Skyquake. Sacrebleu, what an unpleasant imbécile. They ought to retire him. And by retire, I mean smelt down for spare parts. He always has to talk about his 'glory days' when now he's absolutely useless to the Decepticon cause, just like the rest of his self-righteous Predators." - Spinister

Note: He transforms into some sort of dual engine Cybertronian bi-plane. He's an old bot, might as well give him an old design.



"Rhynox has a dual role in Cybertronian society. A brilliant technician, and a deadly brawler. With his processor, he'd be eligible for the Ministry of Science, but they'd turn him away for his rough, street-punk exterior." - Commander Unitron



"There are certain types of 'bots who take their job way too seriously. Unitron is one of them. The commander of the CPDC's Sub-Level 6 precinct, he commands the streets with an iron servo. He does the dirty jobs, where most officers won't go. He doesn't need to go undercover, because he wants himself known when serving up justice to street urchins like Rattletrap." - Stungun



Haven't drawn an Animated human in a while...

"Such a curious small thing. A 'Verity' as it calls itself. The small primate-like creature managed to stowaway on our ship courtesy of the vagabond Cybertronian by the name of Spark. The 'hu-man' claims to be his traveling companion. Now that it and Spark are aboard our ship, they probably won't be leaving anytime soon! Maybe the bionic enhancements the creature has could be a valuable asset." - Brainstorm

And who is Spark? Find out here: TFA Autobot Spark by Bort826TFWorld on deviantART



"Brainstorm is an Autobot scientist foremost. Not an elite one at that. He's a bit inept if you ask me, and his experiments are always reckless. For example, he voluntarily decapitated himself for some joint experiment with a Nebulan scientist of similar caliber. He covets that briefcase of his too. He won't let anyone look in it. I think there's nothing within, just his processor's on the fritz. It looks like they'll give degrees to anyone these days..." - Chromedome



"Chromedome. He's charismatic to a T, but extremely introverted. He's a fantastic mathematician who would rather spend time in his office crunching numbers than fighting. Him and Brainstorm have their own chain of command. Chromedome's the ideas, Brainstorm's the execution. Those two are an absolute recipe for eccentric disaster." - Skids

So you may have noticed... Chromedome's a retooling of Arcee. Why? Well, back in the heyday of Headmasters in 1988, an Arcee repaint from Chromedome was proposed, so why not the other way around?





So here's the Lost Light crew so far.

Also, have a redone/"Super" Rodimus Prime:



Also, a redrawn "HD" version everyone's favorite space-faring hermit, Spark!





"It comes crashing across the battlefield
the wretched Killmaster blade in its hand
Autobot and Decepticon alike
flee from the destruction in its warpath." - Skybyte

The combined form of Botcon 2011's Team Stunticon. Instead of the traditional Scramble City combination scheme, I went with a more Super Sentai styled "bots/vehicles splitting apart" to form limbs.



"Sometimes the Transtechs come across a crime so large they can't do it on their own. That's when they consult the eccentric Nightbeat. He's well known throughout the galaxy. The tracking down of the space gangster duo of Black Shadow and Blue Bacchus; foiling of Nebulan spy Darque Chocolatte's interplanetary assassination plot; the list goes on. He's renowned for his skills, and the glitch that probably lies within his programming." - Siren



I got bored yesterday and made an SG version of Super Roddy.



"While on a routine mission in the Paradron sector, the Lost Light crew intercepted a list of Decepticon defectors, known as "The Lucky Seven", held on the prison planetoid of Garrus-9. They held important information, so they could be useful to our mission. One of them is Windwidow, a snarky femme who wishes to end any conflict and just settle down and open an oilhouse on Cybertron to rival Maccadam's. I think we can trust her, but one of these seven are not who they seem..." - Rewind



"Longtooth is a former Decepticon berserker with origins in the gladiatorial pits of Kaon. But war has changed him. He realized the oppressive nature of the Decepticon cause was, well, oppressive. As a member of The Lucky Seven, he has information we hold important. I think we can trust him, despite the objections of my colleagues." - Guzzle

Artist's Note: I'm not really a fan of how this one turned out... just... meh.



"Dynamo is a seasoned Decepticon tracker. He's got an animalistic predators' trait that helps him eliminate who he seems fit, but still lives by a code of honor. Under his code, Dynamo has begun to view the Decepticons as treacherous. As one of the Garrus-9 defectors, he has brought himself to a virtuous side." - Cosmos



"Of ALL THE DIRTY JOBS, Blazemaster has the worst. IT NEVER ENDS, stationed on ice planets clearing away the snow with his dual flamethrowers. He'll swoop DOWN TO EARTH LIKE A PREDATORY BIRD melting the surrounding snow in a plume of heat. He says it's now TIME TO TAKE A STAND against the Decepticon cause as a member of The Lucky Seven and FIGHT AND DIE for the Autobots. If we don't trust him, WHAT CHANCE TO WE HAVE?" - Skyfall (and this was not ripped off of Fisitron)



"He was once called Deadlock. A bot who felt no remorse. Just hatred. And anger. Many theorized he did his actions in the name of some ancient Cybertronian god... Leige, Liege... Something. As the war died down, Deadlock changed. He now wants to ally himself with the Autobots. The lone cyber samurai once called Deadlock became Drift. He wants to redeem himself for the actions he made... But still kick some tailpipe along the way." - Pharma



I've been doing double work ladies and gentlemen.

While I've been wrapping up the Lucky Seven/Garrus-9 Defector series, I've also begun to pen a narrative to tie my character designs together, while also continuing the Animated narrative.

Keep your eyes peeled on here and the TFW Fan Fiction Discussion for updates!

Not in school today due to -15 degree Fahrenheit weather, so some more work got done.  



"He is vengeance...

He is the night...

... I think he's a failed cloning experiment of Optimus Prime. Onxy always broods, but he's a deadly assassin. A deadly assassin who knew what evil looks like. And that was the Decepticon cause, which he has abandoned for ours. I'll tell you one thing though. I think Searchlight's going to have some competition on the streets of Cybertron." - Crosshairs



The final of the Lucky Seven!

"Wide Load was the head custodian in a number of secret Decepticon bases throughout the galaxy. Tired of the job he had been given, Wide Load has defected to the Autobots to share his knowledge of many locations of these secret bases. Plus, he's quite skilled with heavy lifting for his stature." - Getaway

A preview for an upcoming installment.

Won't be anytime soon, but it's coming.



Got bored, drew Sandstorm before his transformation into a Triple-Changer, as featured in Fit the Second of TFA: The Lost Light Chronicles.



Rodimus' holomatter appearance in the upcoming third Fit of 'The Lost Light Chronicles'.

 

I like.

 

Skids hoooo!!!!!

 

I say pull off Cyclonus but with a Jetstorm body?

I also like Skids.  

 

These are awesome TFA renditions, keep it up!

Whirl is a mech of few words...........HE LET'S HIS ACTIONS SPEAK FOR HIM!!!

Great work as usual bro!!!    

 

Whirl!!! YAAAY!!!!

 

So what's Whirl turn into? Some kinda spinny whirly claw tank? Pinch buggy blue no pinch backs? Or's he one o' dem darn newfangled flying "Autobots"? *grumpy Ratchet face*

 

I was thinking something akin to a FormulaOne racer with two wheels in the front and one in the back.

 

Nice designs.
Also, I like the little Almanac-like profiles you wrote for both of them.

Hope to see more!

 

tailgate please....

 

Ask, and you shall receive.



“Personality Profile – Designation: Tailgate

Hehe, he's wearing briefs...

Also, last post might not have conveyed it, but I like your work.  

 

*Falls over and dies.


I LOVE IT!

 

Tailgate looks dope............CYCLONUS DO HIM!!!  

 

Yay for Tailgate! Hmmm...has Blaster been done?

 

There's already a TFA Cyclonus.

 

Okay, genie, I wish for Tigatron!

 

Not really a request thread guys... Some of you just managed to figure out the last one was coming next, though!

I think we need a Decepticon in here.
