I have posted Pokéformers before on this forum, but I'm deciding to "reboot" some of those pics as well as post new ones, all in this one thread, starting with Stranglehold and Starscream...


STRANGLEHOLD
Function: Enforcer
Beast Mode: Incineroar
"You mess with the tiger and you get the claws!"

BIO
A brutal, musclebound monster of a Decepticon, Stranglehold is known for employing dirty tactics and brute strength to lay the smackdown on Autobots and to keep his comrades in line. Despite being all brawn and very little brain, he makes up for it with his absolute loyalty to Megatron, as the latter spared his life during their days as gladiators in the Polyhex Colosseum.
He has a great disdain for Starscream quickly assuming command and declaring himself as leader after Megatron went missing during the pursuit of the Autobots, holding onto the hope that their leader still lives. Because of this, he is frequently butting heads with the Air Commander, verbally and physically (with Stranglehold always winning). Stranglehold's time on Earth has exposed him to the culture of Pokémon battles and the human sport of wrestling, sometimes sneaking into and participating in wrestling matches. He has even begun to develop a sense of honor, refusing to fight others weaker than himself. He keeps his newfound interests and burgeoning morals to himself, for fear that his fellow Decepticons (and worse still, Megatron) would think that he is growing soft and ostracise him completely.

ABILITIES
Stranglehold possesses incredible strength and endurance, easily shrugging off anything thrown at him. Aside from his raw physical power, he is also armed with a variety of weapons from his gladiatorial career, including an Energon flail hidden in his beast mode's tail and super-heated spiked knuckles. He also employs a variety of powerful Fire and Fighting-type moves, his personal favorite being Darkest Lariat.


MOVES

Flame Charge
Roar
Brick Break


STARSCREAM
Function: Air Commander
Beast Mode: Mega Aerodactyl
"Conquest is made from the ashes of one's enemies!"

BIO
Another member of Megatron's inner circle, Starscream was one of the first to join his cause. Despite his facade of a snivelling yes-man, it's no secret to anyone that Starscream has been gunning for a leadership position, and has tried (and failed) many times to usurp Megatron. For every botched coup (and subsequent abuse at the hands of Megatron or Stranglehold), Starscream quickly changes back into a spineless boot-licker, begging for forgiveness until he eventually regains the nerve to try again. This cowardice doesn't just stop at buckling under Megatron's wrath, for despite his smug posturing and boasting, he prioritises his own survival and prefers to let others do the fighting for him. When Megatron was lost during the Decepticons' pursuit of the Lost Sparks to Earth, he was quick to fill the power vacuum, feigning grief at the loss of their leader. Since then, he has been enjoying bossing around his comrades, much to the chagrin of Stranglehold, who suspects that Megatron's disappearance was another of Starscream's schemes.

ABILITIES
Taking the form of a Mega Aerodactyl, Starscream displays incredible speed and firepower when he finally decides to get his hands dirty. The many stone spikes adorning his wings hide air-to-surface missiles that can home in on their target by adjusting their trajectory mid-flight. His tail also converts into an extremely sharp sword capable of slicing through even solid steel. But as with most Transformers that take the form of a Mega Pokémon, his power is only a fraction of that displayed by the original, and he is also one of the physically weaker Decepticons.

Nicely done

 

Bumblebee is up. I wont be drawing the characters in order, just whenever inspiration hits me.


BUMBLEBEE
Function: Scout
Beast Mode: Zeraora
"The least likely can be the most dangerous."

BIO
The youngest of the Autobots and Optimus Prime's closest friend, Bumblebee is a courageous, impulsive bot that is eager to prove himself, often finding himself taking on tasks or opponents far too big for him to handle on his own. It is also his courage combined with an upbeat personality that has earned the respect of his fellow Autobots, regarding him as a "little brother" figure. He was the first to be awakened from stasis after the Ark crash-landed on Earth, instructed to scout the immediate area and determine if it was safe to revive the others. It was at a nearby town that Bumblebee encountered a young Pokémon trainer. Thinking that he was an actual Pokémon for her to capture, she followed Bumblebee to the Ark, only for her to discover his true nature, and subsequently become one of the Autobots' few human allies. To maintain secrecy, Bumblebee agreed to pose as the trainer's Pokémon partner, serving the dual purpose of guardian and scout as the pair search for leads towards finding the Lost Sparks.


ABILITIES
Despite his small stature, Bumblebee hides a surprising amount of power inside his tiny frame. He is armed with an energy blade hidden in his hands, capable of emitting 10,000 volts of electricity. He is also able to focus that electrical energy through his claws and teeth in his beast mode, and combined with his speed and agility, makes for effective hit-and-run tactics. When he exerts himself, Bumblebee's voltage can surge to almost 1,000,000. But this takes a lot out of him, and in some cases, leaves him unconscious for several days. Because of this, he has to conserve his energy in combat.

MOVES

Double Team
Thunderbolt

 

Bumblebee as a thunderkitty? A part of me says "This is blasphemy for not making him a bee or beetle Pokémon" but another is saying "a stinger weapon via Zeraora's electricity is sweet", yet another says "Should've been Pikachu or Raichu". In all manners, I love it.

 

There is Beedrill, but I see it more as Waspinator, especially shiny Beedrill. Casting Bumblebee as Zeraora was a combination of me liking the Pokemon, and the fact that using Pikachu would be too obvious a choice.

 

No argument here! Any form of Zeraora is a welcomed one!

And waspinator is definitely Beedrill. Maybe a combee, considering how many times he was disassembled, and they look like literal honeycomb walls. Also how they're destined to never evolve when they're male, further adding into Waspy's misfortune.....poor guy.

 

Bumblebee as my fav mythical. GREAT JOB on them pal.

Are there any chances of Soundwave/Ratbat transforming into Noivern?

 

Soundwave is definitely going to be Noivern, for sure

 

Man, it's been a while, folks. I don't know if there's anything against adding to a thread after so long, so apologies in advance, admins.

Anyhoo, here's a new Autobot based on the newly-revealed Pokemon, Cramorant. Personality wise, I was going to go with something simliar to G1 Blurr's cowardly nature, but I decided to base him on Bernadetta from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, who is an archer with social anxiety.



SKYDIVE
Function: Warrior
Beast Mode: Cramorant
"Strike first to live another day."

BIO
A newly reawakened Lost Spark, Skydive is a shy and skittish individual, preferring to stay in his quarters than face the nerve-wracking prospect of interacting with his fellow Autobots, and is quick to apologise for every little mistake or accident. This shyness was also evident when he was found as a feral Cramorant, where he defended himself by spitting fish at Bumblebee and flying away every time the scout approached him. The pursuit landed the two in a skirmish with the Insecticon combiner Infestator, but Skydive saved the day once Bumblebee finally caught up to him and reformatted him with the Allspark Ball, the former dispatching the Decepticon with his sharpshooting skills.

ABILITIES
Upon reformatting, the Arrokuda that Skydive had stored in his beak had become a Targetmaster drone. In beast mode, Skydive will launch the drone from his gullet, much like an ordinary Cramorant, but when he converts to robot mode, the drone transforms into a powerful rifle that can fire either plasma bolts or high pressure jets of water with deadly accuracy. However, the drone's rudimentary AI causes it to have a mind of its own, swimming away from or biting Skydive when he needs it in weapon mode, forcing him to chase it down. This can be a major inconvenience if Skydive is in the middle of a battle.

MOVES
Dive
Peck
Aqua Jet
Water Gun
(Aside from Dive, this moveset is made up because Cramorant's movepool is currently unknown)

 

JOLT, GNAW, DROPKICK & SPLASHDOWN
Function: Reconnaissance
Beast Mode(s): Arctozolt, Arctovish, Dracovish, Dracozolt
"Divided, but never conquered."

I don't have much on their bios and abilities other than they're half of an expedition team tasked to find Energon, bad things happen and now it's these four, forced to combine into the awkward amalgamations that are the Fossil Pokémon of the Sword and Shield games.

 

I know this isn't visual artwork, but as activity is slow on this thread due to IRL stuff going on from time to time.. I figured I shared a list I've made of the Pokéformers I plan to make in some shape or form, see what others think.

I cannot wait to see these drawn

 

Hopefully I will have another update before too long. Drawing robots can be a bit effort and time-consuming sometimes. In the meantime, here's a doodle of Pokéformer Cosmos:



As most of Orbeetle's mass is in its carapace, that's where Cosmos' limbs would be situated in beast mode, and Orbeetle's own limbs would fold up next to its head to form Cosmos' torso armor.

 

Another doodle, this time of Spittor as a Toxicroak

 

Another rough doodle, this time of Refraktor as Magneton, inspired by Chris McFeely's lore video.

 

Sorry for lack of updates. I haven't had much inspiration lately, due in part to global goings-on. Writing a story for this is becoming tempting though, despite my inexperience in writing.

 

Sketchy update, had this idea rattling around in my head for a long while now. Hot Rod as Mega Blaziken. As for backstory, he was one of the Autobots jettisoned from the Ark as it fell to Earth, landing in the Kalos region (Pokémon's version of France from the X and Y games) His time spent in that region has him stuck speaking in the local accent, as a nod to TLK Hot Rod

 

An honest-to-goodness update for once! Featuring Drift's sensei, Sensuimaru! Bio and quote's a bit meh but oh well.



SENSUIMARU
Function: Martial Arts Master
Beast Mode: Urshifu (Rapid Strike style)

"Flow with the river, or be swept up in the torrent."

BIO
Drift's long-lost master and one of the elders of the Swordbot Clan. Drift had thought his master had perished in the destruction of Cybertron, and journeyed with Optimus Prime's Autobots in the hopes that Sensuimaru was among the Lost Sparks stranded on Earth. He was surprised to find him alive and well on the Isle of Armor in the Galar region, instructing Pokémon trainers alongside the master of a local dojo. Drift could barely recognise him, as back on Cybertron, Sensuimaru was known for his Sharkticon alt mode. The change of alternate mode choice came with a change of personality as well. Where once he was a stern, outwardly cold teacher, Sensuimaru has gained a more laid back, patient demeanor. He even shows signs of an impish side, probably from his time spent training on the Isle of Armor.


ABILITIES
Adopting the fighting style taught to him by the Dojo Master of the island, going on the defensive to analyze an opponent's strength and fighting capabilities, warding off their attacks with swift flowing movements, before attacking with multiple swift strikes to overwhelm them. So effective is this fighting style, that he is seemingly without weakness. However, as formidable a warrior as he is, he shows signs that he isn't as mobile as he used to be due to his old age.


MOVES
Surging Strikes
Aqua Jet
Close Combat
Focus Punch

 

Concept for a Mirage that becomes an Inteleon and an experiment with thin alt-mode 'bots.

 

A rather odd one this time. Blaster as a Wigglytuff. Not pictured: Plusle & Minun Rewind and Eject
