Staying pretty close to the blueprint I sketched up above, I drew a large depiction of Spinkadacon in robot mode as I envision him. As I think you can tell, I was going for a swordsman/samurai/knight look to him, and I think it comes across rather well.

Aesthetically, he looks to me be to someone of high integrity and honor, similar to Dinobot but without the constant side-swapping between factions. He doesn't blindly follow those appointed above him, he simply believes in the cause throughout. He isn't much one for long ranged combat, as it lacks a certain struggle one can only find between meeting blades.

If this is in continuity with BW, then surely Unicron is dead?
Perhaps Megatron's new goal is to find a way to get Unicron back?

This is so cool, you need to sell this idea to hasbro right now, maybe then I could be turned into at least a comic book. :grin:

If this is in BW continuity, Megatron, Primal, Tigatron, Airrazor, Dinobot, Rhinox, Depthcharge, & pretty much all the Predacons are dead...
It's have to be an alt. universe idea. Maybe where Unicron didn't die but was mearly disabled?

I'm pretty sure the difference here is the fact that the Axalon and Darksyde warp 200 million years into Earth's future, vice crash landing in prehistoric time. Hence the future fauna as alternate modes.

But don't quote me on that, I just draw.

Just kind of finalized the transformation sequence for Ramhorn. Here's a quick sketch up of what takes place/how it works. A full blown render of Ram Horn will follow shortly, in the way of the Spinkadacon I did last week.

There has never been more phallic objects on one Transformer than Ram Horn! SUCCESS

very nice work so far looking forward the last figure in the set of three on this one,

I like the wip more rather then just showing the main characetr in general and having to guess the transformations.

Did a short and sweet drawing of a detail of Spinkadacon's head while at work today; thought I'd share.

Finally here's the tidalwave, there is also a mock up of a cover/poster that I was playing around with.

I'm very impressed with your ability to take sketchy line art and turn into something that looks professionally inked.

The colors are a very nice addition, as well

I would suggest from one artist to another that adding a sense of texture to the colors to make the work that much better, such as the squid's 'skin', the water (perhaps being able to see through it for a few feet, to the parts of Tidal Wave that are submerged), as well as the rock formation behind Tidal Wave. It would go from awesome to ridiculously sweet, then.

Apologies for the drawing taking longer to get posted than it should have - but here it is, nonetheless. I 'finished' the line art for Ram Horn a little bit ago tonight, although I could have finished it much sooner; I'm just a lazy procrastinator, unfortunately. In any event, without further ado:

Ram Horn is a certified psychopath. He chose the alternate mode of the grimworm - an animal that makes its living by eating the rotting carcasses of other animals from the inside out - because he can relate to their methodology. Ram Horn lives to burrow inside the mind of his opponents and tear them apart from within. He also refuses to repair, replace, or upgrade his equipment and chassis unless specifically threatened by Spinkadacon with the weight of a reprimand behind it. This is because he feels that each nick, scratch, potch mark, and scar are personal marks of glory that ought to be displayed, like badges earned for exceptional deeds accomplished. These marks define his history, his ferocity, and his character. Ram Horn feels that these 'badges' are just as much a part of him as any rotor, servo, or piston.

In battle, Ram Horn weilds a veritable armory of weaponry against his enemies. He can effortlessly deploy over a dozen artillery cannons simultaneously, along with a set of swords larger than most standard sized Maximals. For close-quarters combat, Ram Horn employs a unique weapon - it is essentially two separate, large knives joined together by a thick handle running between them perpendicularly.

Coolio! I might do some stuff like that now you suggest it, its only through laziness that I haven't, lol!
