Been doing these as warmups the last few days. Redesigning the female G1 Autobots for a bit for fun in the early mornings. Elita-One. Wanted a more imposing silhouette besides geisha hair helmet. Firestar is a firetruck carrier thing so she should be more bulky. More vehicle bits, more cowgirl. It's Chromia. Moonracer tomorrow.
I second the request for the alt modes. These are great, I'm always a fan of redesigning characters so that they actually look like they transform into something. What's with Elita-One's chin-stripe? It confuzzles me.
Sure, I can sketch them out. The lip color trails down. Just cuz. She has knees. They are just flush with the legs. Look at the seem lines.
The more I look at these, the more I appreciate the little touches as much as the big design updates. Like Elita's antennae being swept back at an angle instead of sticking straight up.
Finally, they can transform. Good job redesigning these characters. I like all the thought you had put behind them and I also like how Chromia and Elita 1 bring to mind their roles. Elita 1 has somewhat bulky kibble and looks like the paragon of her team while Chromia most definitely looks like the calvary/ cowgirl in that pose. Any thoughts on Moonracer?
Firestar's the best! I love that you're drawing fembots that aren't twigs and have as much personality and cool factor as the guys instead of just being girls with the odd bit of kibble. Give me Firestar over Arcee anyday. I knew this thread would get at least one of these. She's not fat. Just because 99% of the girls in TFs so far have been on a hunger strike doesn't mean everyone has to.
Love these! More imposing than their originals. These girls are definitely not the type you'd want to mess with.
