well, since issue 3 of MTMTE will be out this week, i thought i'd come by and just give a little tease of whats inside the book.
i hope you enjoy

so i thought i'd show off a little more designs in anticipation of MTMTE 03's release this week. i thought i'd show off what Hoist looks like
we got to see his alt mode at the beginning of issue 2, and a small shot of his full body in the crowd scene on pg 19 of issue 2.
now i thought i'd give a better look at his robot mode.
also with the alt mode, the back view i didn't draw in the hook section since i wanted to figure out his leg transformation. just in case any wondered.
enjoy

i don't have a lot of time to post and explain too much, but i figure i'd show a couple things until i have more time
for now, here is the bar that swerve found and rung's office both seen in issue 3 of MTMTE
i might post a page break down when i have the time, until then
enjoy

so here are a few more designs for MTMTE. i would have posted them up sooner, but i've been pretty busy
so first we have fortmax. basically the same design of him from when i first designed him for the IDW universe back in spotlight arcee. there are a few tweaks to him that i was always meaning to do, but never had the time to do. with those tweaks i feel his more functional. i'll post his alt mode at a later date, or maybe just hold onto it until i put a sketchbook together. i haven't made up my mind just yet.

next we have pharma. the description James gave me was he turn into a jet. so i went from there and this is what i came up with. durning the design process i was talking with James to get a better understanding of the character and his relationship with ratchet. i proposed the idea that pharma should have a similar head design to ratchets since he was basically his protégé. also i felt it would make the two of them have a stronger connection. most of the medical team have the red and white colours to them, and that was something i wanted from the start. i felt it made it seem like you were in a hospital and all the doctors and nurses had the same uniform. but i added a few more colours to pharma to make him stand out more. i also had the idea to have the medical staff have a silver autobot emblem instead of the traditional red. i thought that would make them a bit different then normal autobots

first aid was a lot of fun to design. i was looking over his toy and cartoon models as a base for his look here, but i was also came up with some differences to match his personality for this story. i wanted him to be very slender. i felt he wouldn't be the heavy combat type, but more the thinker. at times he had to look a bit timid due to things which were going on in the story and with his character, so that played into my design. overall i like what i came up with.

last we have ambulon. i won't say too much about him. you'll have to wait for issue 5 to find out more about him ;p
enjoy
