Here we go. Completed project. Big Rig and his Alt mode, a Ford F150. Lots of fun involved, and a very special feeling when working on it, as it is a very personal project. Hope you all enjoy it. Have fun.

Long awaited project, here’s my Transformers OC “Big Rig”. I had been looking for the perfect mini for this guy for a long time. Finally found him in the form of Infinity’s Azra'Il w/Feuerbach. The Cannon is part of his storyline as well, as is the mask, adapted from a welder’s mask by his good friend (and @engine-red creation) Bolt-On.

Special thanks to Shae Konnit for always delivering the goods in top speed.

Little rhyme

"Rig & Bolts, sitting in a tree, Bolts bolted cuz he had to pee, Alone stayed Rig, all so sad, he started crying cuz he doesn't have a Dad" "Along came Hal, so so smug Rig saw him and asked for a hug, Hal denied and said "get bent", Rig kicked him and away he went" “Hal went to Ratchet to check his crotch, The doc took a look and said "shit's botched" Hal begain to cry profusely, Ratch said "grow a pair, that one's lonely" "Hal ran to Rig to give him that hug, went he got there Rig's answer was a shrug, t'was then that Bolts returned after seeing Hal he gave Rig a sick burn"

He said, "Rig hug your brother, don't be mean, Rig said, "He denied me first, you should have seen" So Bolts told them to let it go, and they both shouted "SHUT UP BOLTS, THIS ISN'T A DISNEY SHOW!"

Hello Big Rig! In the off chance that you might have to be away for some time, who would take care of your Conjux Endura? Would you entrust Bolt-On to Halcyon or would you contact Skyfire to take care of him?

Hello Anonymous person, thank you for asking!

I would NEVER entrust anyone, much less Bolt-On, to Halcyon. And when i say never, i mean NEEEEEEEEEEEVER.Skyfire is far too busy with his work with Optimus on their off-world missions, choosing someone from our current Lost Light crew, i'd say either Ratchet or Hoist.They're both serious mechs with a very practical outlook on things, so they'd be good to keep his eagerness in check.

Introducing Halcyon. Big Rig's Spark Brother, went through Spark Transfer in a Relinquishment Clinic to become a flier, as he disliked being a lowly cargo vehicle and construction worker. Also changing his colour scheme to a flashy Silver and Grey, with his Yellow Bio-Lights giving him a very glamorous look. His newfound glory as an Aerial Acrobat quickly changed his attitude towards others, and he is now an arrogant bastard, giving his fans the typical sympathy you can expect from a superstar in a crowd, but treating everyone working with him with disrespect. Big Rig grew disgusted by his twin-brother, as he would call 'Rig after the events in which he'd participate just to gloat. "Did you see me? did you see how much the crowd adores me? go grovel in the dirt some more, i'll be enjoying my fame and fortune!!"

[ask-big-rig]

Hey Rig, just wanted to ask how you feel about Bolt-On's infatuation with Jetfire. Seems like there's a mighty big crush there. Jealous?

Uh.....OK....Tell ya what. Look down. If anything, i admire him as well. I mean...look at him again.Don't you?Silly nonnie....

This goes here as well.

Big Rig's Tech Specs I'll do a nice and clean version later, with a better picture for portrait and all. This will do for now.

Big Rig made a little metal sculpture of Bolt-On, no now he has his Visor down to hide his happy face, although he is starting to crack a smile. I'll do colours on it tomorrow i think, too tired today.

[ask-big-rig]

Bought some new stuff, felt pens to ink and mechanical colour pencils, this is the result. Pretty happy with it. Red "lines" are Bio-Lights by the way, and it's not a third eye, it's a mini spot light on his forehead, to counterbalance the brightness from welding.

[ask-big-rig]

Big Rig and Whirl. Whirl has taken Bolt-On away during a Neurological Recharge Disorder attack (basically narcolepsy) (again) and Rig isn't in the mood for his shit, so he caught him off guard, stuck him in a whole and welded him in there. Now comes the questioning.

[ask-big-rig]

Action pose, punch the air you twit! Just doodling the new chassis. Really happy with it. Also changed my own way of drawing bots' eyes a bit. I blame the lovely herzspalter and the fan art/gift she did.

[herzspalter]

Happy Birthday, mighty-grifo! I wish you the Best and I hope I get to see you again next year, you were such a Sweetheart! ;3; I hope we’ll get to discuss many G1 episodes more!

I tried my best drawing Big Rig, I hope you like it! (And I hope I didn’t screw up the colors…)

[mighty-grifo]

OH.MY.GOD.HERZ!!! WHAT EVEN!! HE LOOKS SO DAMN COOL IN YOUR STYLE!! Your expressions always get me. ALWAYS. I always enjoy seeing somebody else draw him, it feels like he’s actually part of the TF-Verse because he has fanart too you know? And you…i just…i wasn’t expecting it at all. THANK YOOOOOOOOOUUU!!! So, yeah, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this, i cannot express how much i appreciate it. (about the colours: you got a couple things wrong, but it’s my fault for not colouring one of the redesigned drawings. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.)

[ask-big-rig]

This goes here too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! Thank you so much Herz, i LOVE IT!!
