[ID: sketches of parts of various tf optimus designs. page one: g1, geometrically 3dly defined, lower leg, grille, and helmet highlighted, particularly the inner spikes on his head labeled "kitty ears, crucial." brief leg and chest window i dont remember the origin of. attempts at redrawing tfa hypercurvy lower legs, labeled "cant get enough lean on those stanky thangs" and "the street sweeperssss," plus a messy wiggly fullbody ("girl ur body is insane")
page two: cv, basic clean shapes, arms ("BIG fuckin block arms thumbs up big fan, dainty hands (relatively)") and chest window with wipers diagrammed along the slight bowing outwards ("nice"). as a whole, labeled "very sensible right angles fellow UNTIL," followed by his pelvis, decorated with glowy bits like stripes up his inner thighs (the bare bit between pelvis parts and leg. plating?), labeled "literally got a lit-up runway to those things, zettai ryouiki of the landsknecht fashion variety"
page three: ES, "MY LOVE!" highlighting his angular ("BIG wide" / "good outward-pointing movement") chest and shoulders, relatively "little kitty head," "good forearm shape (don't know what the window is but another common fun ES design detail win)," grille thing ("kinda tilts forward? confusing to brain-model but adds interest and pipes and tire on his inner abdomen good details, fills up space"), and lower leg ("lot of hard to proportion shapes for redrawing LOL but sooo good to look at," "so many good little articulations that feel real," likened to a triangle widening to a flat bottom ("flared, nice, good")]
Idle takasugi doodles derailed to scour the tfwiki and try to map the standout oppie traits in my brain to the right continuities (transcribe this later lol) <- DONE
