Or show us a couple never before seen pages in your sketchbook. Now that would be the bees knees!
how's this ?

It is an interesting verison. The only problem I had with the actual War Within design for him though, is that you broke his caterpillar treads on his arms for the arms to emerge. That is probalby one of my biggest pet peaves because it really breaks all laws fo physics. Caterpillar treads are a continuous belt. If you break that belt, the treads flop open and fall off. They need to be kept intact. IF you could figure out a way to keep that over-all look without compromising the integrity of the capterpillar treads, it would be perfect.
it's been done lots of times before, G1 Scavenger, Bonecrusher, Warpath, Blitzwing? hell, even Brawl/Devastator in the movie does it.. all their treads break in transformation.
Yeah, I know they do, That doesn't make it any less impossible and just poor design on their part. If I had my way, they would all get redesigns to correct that flaw. And, I'm not really sure movie Brawl's treads do break. I know on the toy they do, but in the movie itself, it looks like the entire tread assemblies movie up onto his shoulders and back. It doesn't look like they break at all, and I didn't notice any part of his treads on his legs like on the toy either.but I get you, this is why I did the first Titanium Megatron have a continious tread for his leg, my initial design was for him to have actual working rubber treads, with joints like Armada Scavenger's arm. but that would have proved too costly.
I think there could have been another solution, possibly be having the arms come out from between the front treads and the body so that the treads are attached at the shoulders, similar, but not the same as Megatron. Keeping the same horizontal position, but slid out when he transformed. The other option would be to do similar Armada Megatron and have the arms flip out and around from the side of the tread housing, and latch into place sandwiching the treads above the elbow. That would keep the front treads intact, but locked in place in robot mode.Yeah, it just seemed wierd because, even in War Within, he was already an "old coot" spouting off his wisdom and experience, and bickering with Ironhide, the other old-timer.On a side note, why did you change Kup's design from his G1 design? His existing G1 design was already a Cybertronian mode, so he really didn't need a new "pre-Earth mode" design. Don't get me wrong, it looked cool, but it seemed a bit unnecessary. All in all it is one of my favorite series though. And, I loved the "Elita-1 sexy silhoette" mudflaps on Prime. Very nice touch.
WW happened a long time ago.I figured back in the days, Kup was also a kind of 'Turbo revvin young punk' himself.
but the transformation's the same, it's just reversed.
and besides, Transformers change their bodies all the time. even more often nowadays. I did'nt think it's nescessary for Armada Galvatron to changed back into Megatron in Energon and again in Cybertron. just so he can change back to Galvatron again.

You have to excuse Tramp. Treads really are his pet peeve. It's been discussed for many many pages at Transtopia. I'm here on Seibertron by way of Transtopia. You have a great gallery over there. As a fellow artist I say anybody can draw a figure, but to build one is truly amazing, which brings me to my favorite Transformer ever. I would like to own this. I would give all of my transformers stuff to just have Stronghold. Do you still have him? How much for him?
You wouldn't happen to have some larger pictures would you?
Damolisher wrote:Yeah, don't mind Tramp, he just has this habit of whining about "Physical possiblity" in cartoons and comics, even if they are about something already scientifically impossible like giant transforming robots from another planet. You know, unlike the REST OF US who watch and read things for entertainment. But yeah, Don, seriously, man your work is freakin' sweet! What would Galvatron look like if there were ever a WW Design for him (I know War Within's set before the Ark landed on Earth, but I'm just curious as to what Galvatron might look like if he were around back then.)

Seriously, stop always trying to be right.
Damolisher wrote:No, diehard fanboy, and downright obnoxious. Bloody telling me what to do in my own goddamn topic, how arrogant can you get?
Damolisher wrote:Tramp, asking questions isn't disrespectful, correcting the artist is. And Toyotus, you think it ends here, everytime you try to point your view out and it contradicts Tramp's view of a perfect unified, sceintifically perfect version of Transformers, it blows up into a multiple page debate of random bolding and backpeddling, check this thread out for example, look at the post below mine where he says something about Transformers being set in reality:

And, no Damolisher, correcting an artist';s error is not didsrespectful, either, since it is that correcting and judging of his work that pushes him to do better. I'm an artist myself, with two Associate Degrees in graphic arts (one in Cartooning, and one in Graphic Design), so in that regards I know exactly what I am talking about.
