So I finally finished Skywarp and I changed quite a bit about his design and I like it I think 🤔

Here's some lore and stuff about him.

Skywarp:

When one looks upon the curiosity that is the Seekers, one must not forget the final of their original trio, the last true clone. While in recent times the Autonomi have begun developing some basic form of sentience, nothing compares to the original three.

The All-Seeing Eye, Skywarp.

As the last of his trio, all the "faults" found in the previous model had been fixed. Instead of being a caricature of the template's personality before Incident Omega, this one is more alike to the template's temperament after it.

His frame was crafted to perfection, designed to be as close to the template as possible, though Skywarp himself has made some slight modifications.

The most notable are his Null Rays.

On the right limb, the extended barrel and added bulk indicate that Skywarp has created a high-powered version of the standard Null Ray. The additional material was most likely added to help cool the weapon and withstand the increased power output. The shortening of the left limb appears to have been done to reduce the additional weight and burden placed upon his systems.

As is the case with the dissections of the other, lesser Seekers, their sparks are not as strong as those of a normal Cybertronian. It is without a doubt that the Seekers created to lead them suffer from this problem as well.

Whether this was created by design to act as a contingency, I do not know.

While I have noted the personality of this particular specimen, the serious, almost stoic nature of Skywarp is almost certainly an attempt to ensure that another curiosity, Thundercracker, does not come again.

Due to his modifications, he has become one of the most dangerous and infamous members of the Decepticon forces.

His notable feats include, but are not limited to:

Blasting the Ark's engines from Moon Base One.

Offlining Grimlock during the Battle of Tyger Pax, though Grimlock was later restored from a backup memory core.

Assisting the Decepticons of Earth in repelling the first Autobot invasion.

Damaging both Jazz and Ironhide severely enough to keep them off the front lines for five stellar cycles. Ironhide would later get his revenge by ripping out one of Skywarp's optics, though Skywarp was saved by Megatron.

Wiping out a small invasion fleet in the Northern Quadrant of the galaxy, pushing Autobot forces back considerably.

From my findings, Skywarp is a most fascinating subject.

I look forward to breaking him.

Improvements will be made to Autobot forces, and we will ensure the total victory of the Autobots as is your will Lord Prime.

So an update.

THE PINNING WORKED

Though hand drilling is surprisingly hard ngl and now he can stand up and is roughly the height of the og wfc Optimus Prime.

So now I have to figure out a way to bulk him up as he's a bit skinny around the thighs.

Any advice is appreciated 👏

So I took it apart and snipped and pulled a lot more, I accidentally fucked the ball joint around the groin area up so I bought a small drill and pins and some gundam ball joints just in case.

To fix that the sprue glue in the arms are still kinda soft so I pushed some plastic scraps.

Really I hope the pinning the balljoint works or else I'm kinda fucked 😅

So I saw a ebay listing of a custom Ironhide and I liked it but the price was to much for me so why not try to recreate it.

I found out that Tfp Kup was meant to be Ironhide and luckily he's cheap as nothing on Ebay though this may change in the future.

The Transformation of this figure was a pain it was in a half alt mode to robot mode but I managed.

It seemed someone probably the previous owner tried to make it like Ironhide. With some red paint.

So what i did was well snip, the nack area where thr pin was and take off the hood of the car and the main bit.

And I only kept the top of the truck mode as it has a peg.

I'm sure I could jerry rig a alt mode or make it work

And here's the basically finished product while it needs a new coat of paint and some maybe increase in height as he's a bit small next to Optimus and Megatron I like it.

What I'm trying to do with is try my best to recreate my designs from Shattered Glass while it isn't amazing it's a start.

I can always change the design but I'm happy with this besides the fact he's a bit short.

So thanks for reading this and I'll update when I eventually paint it and I might buy another for a non SG version lol

So I want a WFC Megatron to go with Gamer Edition Optimus, and while I probably would have gone for the original, the prices and the fact that the newer one has more poseability.

But besides that, I can't stand the head, and I was wondering if anyone knows if there's been any head upgrades or anything that looks like the original.

I already found a nice cannon and back upgrade piece that match the original, and I also got some posable hands; it's really just the head left.

So if anyone knows anything, please let me know.

This is probably a bit stupid but seeing the prices across ebay have made me scared to buy it and only use the head I did find a cheap one but it was sold on Facebook but they didn't take down the ebay listing.

On twitter there's a art trend well all around trend now of tap and hold its so annoying 😑 and yes I did get my muse back for this lol

So my original plan of swapping body parts ended up not working so I stuck to using the TfO Megatron as a base, I sanded the head

So it was smoother, I then did a very bad build for Cyroteks cannon on his right arm.

I haven't done much in terms of painting yet as I'm not in the mood really and my desk is a mess lol.

The big cannon thingy he has on his left arm right now I have gamer edition Starscreams sniper on it but I have bought this cannon that hopefully will fit and the claw on it I'll have to probably cut a bit of plastic card in the shape.

It's not a 1 to 1 of Cyrotek from the scant few images there are of him but hopefully this inspires someone much more talented than me lol.

Guess who got their new S Pen? That's right, me and now I've finished my drawing of Tarn with her Megatron pillow and Megatron in the door frame.

I have also posted this as a short with music but on a side not I'm really happy with how this turned out it was a bit rough at the beginning 😅

I lost my S Pen went missing and I can't find it searched for a few hours and now I can't draw and this is all I have so enjoy.

PS: This is for a guy or gal that asked me to draw Tarn doing the Jacko Pose

PSS: The only refrence for the pose that looked good was a women so I officially made Soundwave and Tarn women and I left a easter egg for a famous hiding game it's gonna look better when painted but this little guy is hiding for his life.

Here's Soundwave showing off his grippers my first time getting over 200 likes on Instagram.

Idk what to say, my next request is to draw Tarn doing Jacko's pose.

I will post Skywarps sheet soon not particularly happy with him as purple and black are quite iconic for him and finding an alternative for it was hard.

Inspired by my new cyclonus toy

I got the Transformers Universe challenge at Cybertron pack for a good price and I'm not going to attempt the Galvatron but all the figures came in their alt modes and I saw Cyclonus and it clicked in my head and I did it without the instructions.

Articulation is meh the arms are nice but it has limited movement and the wings that connect into the arms get in the way and only one stays in place while the other one flops around.

Hot rod seems like a solid figure haven't transformed him but Cyclonus and Hotrod do feel much better than Galvatron it's a shame I love the figure I had the original one I believe as a child when I was 6 or 7 I loved the light piping and holding it up.

That's it thanks for coming to my ted talk.

This is my Thundercracker redesign for Shattered Glass this is a more villainous version of Thundercracker like in most continuities he is almost like an Autobot and I wanted that to carry over here as I've hopefully conveyed in this drawing.

Now backstory time feel free to not read this and just admire the drawing or something.

Thundercracker the First of the Seekers created by Starscream in his experiments to create a army for the Decepticon war effort.

As the first of his kind Thundercracker is arguably the closest in strength to Starscream but that came with some downsides.

His aggression is off the scale, the needeless casualties he inflicts during battle and the sheer joy he has terrifies friend and foe.

When Thundercracker first awoke he was confused and terrified, strapped to a slab of cold metal, why did he know this, who is he. Memories flooded his mind his name was Starscream? Yessss the Greatest Cybertronian to ever live the smartest the strongest, guilt what need does the greatest Cybertronian have of this weakness. Thundercracker accessed his brain module skimming through the CPU with his superior mind he deleted the feelings associated with this weakness.

Ahh that was much better he thought, now time to break out of this restraining table.

Thundercracker flexes and the restraining bolts snapped off as he sits and enjoys the feeling of freedom.

Then the door snaps open and he stares in shock it is himself? Identical but the age and expression on the face is older more serious. For a nano second the possibility of time travel entered his mind but soon a more reasonable theory came to mind.

He is a clone. That realisation shattered his mind.

As the original spoke, he only listened with half a audio receptor. He did not care about a war for good an evil and how his creation marks a new stage a possibility of new tomorrow for peace.

All he wanted to do was to pass this hurt he feels the pain he wishes to inflict it on another.

He launched forward in a blur millimeters from landing a punch his fist was caught and he was put down like a hatchling.

"Now I will forgive that... it is understandable that the process of your creation was troublesome to say, you're the first you shall be my second I require assistance in the creation of our kin."

"As is your will Creator." I will rip out your spark one day when I have learned all I can from you. I shall destroy everything you hold dear the Decepticons you're peace.

"Good now come we much work to do."

Thundercracker integrated himself in the ranks of the Decepticons and now he waits for the day of his revenge to prove his superiority.

Heavily inspired by my favourite version of Starscream Armada.

A quick backstory I have that can be changed is during his early life Starscream was as arrogant as any other scientist and one of the best flyers of Vos and Cybertron.

When he was granted a place on Omega Station he was in awe of the scale and grandeur of the Station and as he had done before he wanted to show off and gain the admiration of his colleagues especially the head of Omega Station the lead Scientist and his idol Jetfire.

One day he made the greatest mistake of his life and Starscream has made many, he eyed the newest project of Jetfire and his team he didn't pay attention and believed in that moment he was the only one that could fix it in his arrogance and blind faith in himself.

He tampered with the machine and moved a few lines of code here and there. He walked off and bumped into Jefire he sent him a smirk and that was the last time he ever smirked.

An explosion went off in the upper levels of Omega Station and shook the whole Station, Starscream shot off towards the Centrifuge drives to ensure the Station doesn't crash into Iacon or one of the moons of Cybertron.

He later learned what happened and knew it was his fault but he had no time to talk as Jetfire was stripped of his rank and vanished while he was promoted, as time passed and his search for Jetfire grew cold he soon joined with a philosopher gladiator called Megatron.

When he saw Jetfire once again the bot he once looked up too was there but changed he fled the station with his squadron and was soon thrusted into a position of battle and war he hated it, he hated everything about this war his knowledge his intelligence was used to create horrors beyond imagination a legion of seekers based off his frame seekers they were called clones weaker but numerous in number where used to supplement their ranks against the Autobots.

Starscreams pre war personality is very much like his normal self but during and post war he is very stotic and hides everything behind a mask of Cybertanium.

I will do the other seekers soon and their normal counterparts soon I finished this design in my main drawing so I decided to do this.

From Beast Wars I loved the analysis that RonBonDujon's video on the tragedy of Cyrotek and there's no toys of him.

According to the wiki Shockblasts body was used but a figure of Shockblast is rare.

So u drew this hopefully next month when I get my paycheck I'll buy the Ko Figures and begin my Sid Era

The mentor figure to beast wars Megatron his body is a from the theft of the golden disk based on Shockblasts body with a different head.

I'm looking for any tips on how to make him, he's really interesting to me he's like the Darth Plagueis to Palpatine.

I've seen someone use Beast Wars Megatron's Drsgon body

https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/s/HvnxHcwyFi

https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/s/oSHfbO1p4m

But I kinda prefer his look in theft of the golden disk and also that body beast wars Megatron had in theft of the golden disk was amazing and wouldn't mind some tips on how to make him too.

Just incase no ones seen that short film

Thanks for reading this ❤️

My most recent Optimus art and these are also my two attacks on Artfight, I redid my whole sitting on the throne drawing of Optimus.

Just finished this and now I want to rest the alt mode sheet/weapons will come probably after I sleep.
