Boy was my spelling wrong

This page is about the biblical creature; for other uses, see Leviathan (disambiguation).
Leviathan (לִוְיָתָן "Twisted; coiled", Standard Hebrew Livyatan, Tiberian Hebrew Liwyāṯān) was a Biblical sea monster referred to in passing in the Old Testament (Psalms 74:13-14; Job 41; Isaiah 27:1).

The word leviathan has become synonymous with any large monster or creature.

In modern Hebrew, the word "leviathan" simply means "whale".

So apparently the laviathen can be any oversized water creature.

Oh yeah, anyone saw Disney's Atlantis? Remember the iron giant lobster that guarded the entrance? Anyone know it's name and whether or not it's a real myth? Toying with an idea to make Rampage out of it, but I want to be sure that it isn't something made up by Disney.

Hehe, on the way home by subway, I was playing around with some design for Rampage as well. What you suggested sounds pretty solid.

For Depth Charge, I just doodled him as a "Radiant Dragon," one of them dragons from the Dungeons and Dragons reference book I took a peek a boo at a local Barnes and Noble. Just thought up of it since the Maxi's seem to lack any kind of drakes/dragons.

EDIT: I'll post a rough sketch of the doodle I did of DC tomorrow....the "Radiant Dragon" idea was scrapped in favor, of a more aquatic dragon, to stay in line with this personality.

Hello all!

First off; nice work on the Snarl and Grimlock BBA! I love the way Snarl turned out; excellent!!!

Secondly, you have some nice ideas for Depthcharge and Rampage figures; those work really well. It would be nice to see Rampage come back; perhaps he wasn't so much destroyed as he was deactivated or in stasis-lock for a time after his final battle with Depthcharge; and then he got reactivated...thus Depthcharge returns (somehow... ).

Lastly; I updated the list on Page 1 .

dont remind me of the death of depthcharge, for i too, cried on that, infront of my babysitter *Im soo cool*

Yes! That was the thing that inspired BA, a Dryder! I once read that they were based on a real mythological creature, but I never managed to find it.

but where did you get the idea they were Arabian and were attacking Greece or Rome or something? I'm just trying to think of more ways to make the humanoid half look different when it transforms.

[Primus_feather]

can someone please Do RA's BA V1 as is , granted modified for correct spider leg position, I think doing her in his original Arab "style" I think it reflects her perfectly. PLEASE!!

Agreed. Other than the minor leg repostioning, I like it. I would be cool to see a nice rendition of this design.

Leviathan.
I found this during a search. Scroll down til you see "Christian" and read on. Pretty interesting stuff!

Hope this helps.

BTW - The real myth kicks so much ass than the Disney version..

So if I understand this right, the Leviathan's not only a water god/snake/dragon/whatever, but it could be anything? Nice, maybe we can have a little army of Leviathans.

Well, already playing with an idea for Rampage's robot mode, and it'll be similiar to his BW form when it comes to the transformation. However, that's where it ends; Levia-Rampage will be a big hulking monster in robot mode.

Dunno, read it once somewhere.

I'm pretty sure they called it Leviathan.

BAH, why did my post come out so low. I posted it right after the quoted post.

[The Librarian]

Permission to come aboard?



I saw my name in Metal Samamon's list and thought I'd better get my designs posted here as well. As such:

Cryotek: Chinese Dragon
With Tengu drones. Well, soldiers. Actually, they are probably quite close to Seekers now you mention it:








For the Auto-Maximals:

Amphisbaena (two headed lizard-snake-dragon thing)



As...

Rack and Ruin!




And Manticore a, well, a Manticore:




He's probably some really tough warrior, possibly a little too violent for his superior's tastes. I've just called him Manticore, partly because I couldn't come up with anything else, partly because I did have a fan character called Manticore at one point.



Enjoy!

[BillyBadAss]

Welcome aboard, Librarian.
I was wondering when you'd show up!

[Ra88]

Oh yeah, working on another character for fun: Terrorpyre! Kudos for the ones who can figure it out who he is and WHAT he is. It's easy, but some people... j/k

[BillyBadAss]

buh..?

Can't wait to see it!!

Here are the little doodles of DC I did during class lectures.

(I know I'm a naughty student;D)



I've somewhat decided to go with the "killer whale" like head, along with the robot face, found in the top middle.


The transformation I will eventually base him on, after completing Galvatron and Liege Maximo ( man i hate when cool ideas pop up in myhead when I have a list of things to do).

[Lord_Loqi]

here's one for you billy

obviously this was my silverbolt custom I mentioned in the previous topic.
the character's name is Pharaoh.

[Decepti-jet]

I am getting a "cybertron megs" vibe from the Librarian's Cryotek...

Great Stuff! Love the Seeker/ Tengus

[Mest4life135]

the silverbolt/pharoh is awsome!
