Transformers References

Official Transformers art references TIPS: All posts are tagged! Search a character name. If a character has multiple continuities, it will have it's name alone tagged (bumblebee) and also its name with its series (TFP bumblebee, RB bumblebee, etc). You can also search by continuity. Please help by contributing to the blog! I don't have time to gather references by request, but if you have any and would like to share, you can link them to me, or post them on your personal and I will reblog on the ref blog with proper tags.

nickels design is so cute!! and look! her alt mode has 3 purposes/modes! im not sure if that would make her count as a triple changer since all the parts stay the same throughout. originally posted my JRO on twitter. concept art done by hayato sakamoto

Now that Combiner Hunters is out…!

The Torchbearerrrrrs!

I drew them from an early draft of the toys. There was certainly a fine balance to be found between “stay close to the toys’ designs” and “follow your heaaaart” but I think I did alright..! Anyways enough of me freaking out;

Enjoy! and draw all the fanart

MTMTE 41 - Minimus Ambus

So here are some of the characters I’ve been working on lately which have shown up on the cover to MTMTE 41 :) Yes, They are all female transformers and out of these designs 3 of them I also choose the names for. 

It was fun to help create these characters. I know I’ve wanted more female characters in transformers for a while now. I’ve always placed one or more in the background of various TF projects I’ve worked on.  Now we have the opportunity to have more of them and I’m very happy about that.

When the story came up for having new female characters I knew that I would like to have some of the characters that haven’t been used yet. I know I really wanted Firestar and James was able to get her for MTMTE.  Then we were talking and he asked me to come up with a crew of new characters, both male and female and I was pretty excited about that.  He didn’t have any names in mind at the time, so I wrote down a bunch of names and looked up on the wiki and tfu.info if they had been used. A lot of them hadn’t to my surprise so I showed them to James and he liked them.  I then came up with a head sketch of them, and mentioned which ones were female and which ones were male, and he liked them.  then I set out to design them.

These are the design I came up with. I wanted there to be a lot of different looking bots.  First I started with Firestar.  She is the more traditional look for a female TF, but where her main difference is her height. She is a very tall bot. She towers over most of the others. Not as tall as Megatron or Ultra Magnus, but she’s taller then Rodimus and most of the other Lost Light crew.  I also had the idea to give her fire hair since in alt mode her head is the where the exhaust of the car. It also help add a little more emotion to the character since I can have the fire doing different things when she’s feeling different emotions. I thought it was different and something interesting to play with.  With her torso design I decided to give her the same style of split canopy that Nautica has since it solved a design issue I was having at the time. Also I like the idea of some of the characters sharing similar design features :)  Next is Javelin. She was fin to draw since I wanted something very different looking.  I enjoy the look of the head where is a single eye. i thought can we have a character with a single eye and not be a victim of empurata? why not?. Next we have Proxima. When I described her to James I said she would be the equal of better of Perceptor.  She would be a extreme multitasker. With her e4 head design she has main visor style eye, but 3 other eyes where 2 can move around her head. Roadmaster was fun to design.  I wanted a big characters that looked like she would bend and break you if you looked at her the wrong way. She is the biggest of the characters I’ve designed so far, matching Ultra Magnus in height (well to his head, not shoulders) When I was working on this character I thought an interesting variant would be to make a strika out of her, but then I would want strika to be a bit bigger then her.  But the idea is in the back of my mind so maybe I’ll work something out of it?| Last character who isn’t on the cover, but I saw that she was partially shown on a post on the credit’s page is Velocity. Another fun design where I got to play around with features that I don’t normally see with many TF’s :)

Thats it for now

Enjoy :)

so like, doing a comparison of tfp starscream and megatron for shits and giggles and w/e, with starscream at about 25′6″ and megatron at around 32′, with a person at about 5′8″ added in for extra scale (and also because this was originally for a roleplay reference)

starscream comes about… lower-to-mid chest on megatron

unless you figure in his wings

if you figure in his wings, he is actually a couple of inches taller and i thought i would share this with you because i find that really funny for some reason

(i used this site and then superimposed their art book refs on top of the chart so i could see the proper proportions and shit)
