I love watching RID2015 because I get to assign certain Decepticons a specific species for fun. ESPECIALLY when I get to redesign them to look more like said animal.
Saberhorn’s not just a rhinoceros beetle, he’s a European Rhinoceros Beetle. He also has a pair of little insect arms that he can’t really use—one is missing a hand.
What the fuck is Shadowraker? Raspy Cricket.
Clampdown’s a fiddler crab. It just fits.
Grimlock’s a giganotosaurus now
Razorpaw’s a fossa (and swelter and glacius are lemurs)
Logically Psuedo would be a cuttlefish or orchid mantis… but like… Earwig…
Quillfire is a North American Porcupine (no design changes)
Scatterspike is a Crested Porcupine (quills make a mohawk on her head and back)
Crazybolt is a bearded dragon
Flamesnort is an armadillo girdled lizard
I’m making Drift a triplechanging beetle. Deadlock was a beetle. Drift avoids transforming into his original alt mode at all costs. The tip of his horn is the same as his crest.
New Vertebreak design! (More snake-like features. Same body type. Slit pupils, forked tongue, more distinguished fangs rather than a mouthful of sharp teeth. Actual hands/arms! Has a built-in backpack-type thing that opens and has his original arms, letting him have more hands to work with.
I just think he’s neat—wish he had more screen time… Nightstrike too
