Vanguard Series - Character Models (Updated Weekly!)

Hey Seibertron!

So, I've been working on the development of the fan-made Transformers: Vanguard CGI Web-Series for a long time (including sharing some previous design prototypes here on Seibertron and online), and am finally designing the final version of every character, with videos hopefully beginning in the Spring.

Without further ado, here is the current progress:

Updated (March 29th, 2014):
The first VS image; Ultra Magnus vs. Megazarak!
Image

Finished Characters:
Character #1: Ultra Magnus (Autobot - Class 4)
Image

Image

Character #2: Toxitron (Decepticon - Class 4) [Remold of Ultra Magnus
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Character #3: Roadbuster (Autobot - Class 3)
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Character #4: Megazarak (Decepticon - Class 5)

Thanks, guys!

Two new images for you all today!

Image
Image

I'd also like to announce that the next design to be worked on will be Toxitron. Yes, Toxitron.

Toxitron will be a remold/redesign of the Ultra Magnus body that you see here. New head, new weapons, and many body changes.

With some feedback, I've reproportioned him, and think he looks better.

Image

Also, this is something I did for fun. If anyone wants to see the original CG shot, let me know, and I'll post it. Otherwise, here's a lovely piece of CG that I photoshopped to look like a comic book panel:

Hey Seibertron!

Got a lot to show/tell today!

First, got a new image for Ultra Magnus:
Image

And the second character (Toxitron; remold of Ultra Magnus) is finished!
Image
Image
Image

Ready to announce the next two characters: Roadbuster & Impactor! (Both are unique, new designs; they aren't remolds of each other, and neither is a remold of Ultra Magnus)

I'm also accepting requests for images that you want to see as far as poses from Ultra Magnus and Toxitron go. I'm also willing to make wallpapers, avatars, and signatures.

Uh, thanks, I guess. If you get enjoyment out of the designs, that's all that matters.

Got some new pics, all three of them with Ultra Magnus & Roadbuster together!

I am hugely impressed with what I've seen over the last couple of weeks regarding this project, well done! :D I just wanted to ask whether this project will require voice actors, because if it does I would be very happy to offer my services :)

Thanks so much for the praise. Yes, this project will need a lot of voice actors. Looking at your Youtube page, you seem really spectacular, and I'd love to have you onboard in the future. When I start the audition period, I'll send you a PM with a link to the thread that it'll be in. I know there is a character for sure I think I'd like you to play, but he won't be in the prequel series for awhile, ;)

Thanks again, and I will definitely let you know the minute auditions are up. It'll probably be a bit, as I'm shooting for July for release of the first prequel episode, and I'll be working on the script in a month or two.

In the meantime, there'll be plenty of artwork though.

I've got 5 (!) new images for you all today!

First, new posed pictures for Ultra Magnus & Toxitron:
Image
Image

When he needs extra power, Toxitron can channel the Tox-En coursing through all of energy tanks in his body and cover himself with a Tox-En energy aura, causing him to become extra strong, durable, and more powerful...
Image

And the next character, Megazarak, has his vehicle mode finished!

Image

And here he is with Ultra Magnus & Roadbuster for comparison:

Slow week because Megazarak's robot mode is taking longer than expected!

But I do have one new render of Roadbuster, to show off his last weapons, his daggers:

Two new images, another slow week. For reasons you will see in a moment though, the next week will have at least a few, ^.^

First, new Roadbuster posed image:

Image

And next, hot of the presses, the (soon-to-be-rigged) Robot mode for Megazarak!

I love Megazarak's design! He seems to share a lot of aesthetic elements from Armada Megatron, things like the hip cannon, tank tread shoulders and moose horns :P Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more from this project :D

Thanks both of you for your kind words!

I'll be announcing and having auditions on TFW2005, Seibertron.com, Voice Actor Alliance, and Voice Actor Club; as well as notifying people on the Vanguard deviantart page.

Alright, big night tonight!

First off, the first "VS." image for Vanguard:

Ultra Magnus vs. Megazarak!

Image

But, almost more importantly, we have Vanguard's official logo!

Image

And here is a version without the lightning background:

Image

And , Vanguard now has a deviantArt page:

I give you the first "poster" for Vanguard featuring all four of the currently modeled characters:

Image

This is an all-new render; and all four were actually posed and rendered in the same space with zero collisions, I didn't want to just have a combination of posed images photoshopped together.

I haven't forgotten you guys...and I haven't stopped working! :D

Got a bunch today!

First, I modeled two faction emblems for the series while I was working on Impactor's vehicle mode:

First one is the Autobot emblem:

Image

Now this one is new. For supporting fiction for Vanguard; team member Shatterpoint talked to me about adding a new Cybertronian faction called the Vikkons to act as a type of counter-balance to the Star Seekers; making the two factions rivals. I loved the idea. Shatterpoint later made a concept design for their emblem, and today, I decided to make it a reality:

Image

And an image of both with less "effects":
Image

And then...

The Leader Of The Wreckers himself...

Meet Impactor's vehicle mode!
Image

Did a picture with the other two Autobots (I forgot to shrink him slightly):
Image

And did a picture with the other two + Megazarak as well (his size is fixed here):
