Im in need of some help. Does anyone know fo a good site for Beast Wars second and Beast Wars Neo? Im looking for good pics and info for the characters. I might be using some of them, but i can't find any good info or cartoon pics.

I have got some episodes of both series, so I can get a couple of screenshots from them; though you can try as well to find them in google :wink:

I did look through google but all i found was crap sites

Sat Mar 18, 2006 4:12 pm

Well, the best site for BW information is still BWTF.Com if you ask me.

I know shin has this in mind but I had to do my take on him:

MYTH WARS BLUDGEON

Through a conversation with a fellow TF fan:
"I was thinking he'd be like enchanted armor (walking armor - no one knows what robots are back then - thus, their interpretation of Bludgeon is "enchanted armor")- and he's always crying (according to fellow TF fan:"he has pink upside down tears of teh electrifying hawtness") - because he feels empty..

he needs to fill something..

his shell - it's missing."

Well, something like that.
Besides - I'm not even done with the sketch yet - look at the top of his head - it's all sketchy lines - hard to make out.. I'm still trying to figure out what he looks like.

Another question is his alt-mode - ?

Comments/suggestions welcome.

Looking forward to everyone's designs - they all rock!!

shin - please finish those "G1" character designs - I am very interested to see their final designs!!

I may be missing something or simply misinterpretting.

Whynot have the mystical armor be his shell. the shell can radomly posses diffrent humans and maximals/preds in his search for his true master.

Ooooh, that Bludgeon is simply great.

Gotta agree with Loqi's idea, it an interesting new take on the Pretender shell thing.

And is that a Rhinox I see?

Kinda like Alphonse Elrich from FullMetal Alchemist. Would be sweet if a toy of it could disassemble and act like armor pieces for other Myth Wars bots. Would be interesting trying to make empty armor articulate, and yet still be able to act as a shell around something else. I guess it might be easier to make armor around a humanoid fig. like a microman, but as long as the toy can move and go around something else, and still move, I'll be happy.

Very interesting take on shin's design, Billy! Right now I can't think anything specific off the top of my head (just finished midterms), but Lord Loqi's idfea sounds like a good start.

I think it should be more like the Venom Symbiot off spiderman. Yes it will have armor pieces but I think it should have cloth pieces too considering it will be samurai style armor. The armor can walk ( or slither and slink might be creepier) around on it's own and wrap itself around the host body like a boa constricter swallowing a mouse during the possesion. Also I think it shouldn't be able to talk unless it's possesed someone. the suit should be a menace on it's own, not just wait around for someone to put it on.

Alphonse style armor just doesn't seam kreepy enough to me, that and you still had to climb inside him

Have you seen the episodes with the evil armors. One even has a scull for a head! I could picture that type of armor with cloth between the sections, and moving like a marionette. And think of each section of armor having a hinge on it, so it could spring on someone, snap shut around them like handcuffs. Think boshido armor, but with a samuri helmut.

BBA- I really like the idea there. i would go with the idea everyone else said. I should have some of the "G1" deisgns done this weekend. Im jumping back and forth between designs.

And heres a new one for the Dark Ages series. Anyone wanna guess who it is?

Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:11 am

Megastorm!

Hehe, Yep. I've got a couple more new characters to post too. When im not to lazy.

Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:21 am

Nonetheless, it's looking excellent so far.

Also like how you still managed to make him look like the G2 Megs mold, while keeping it 'new'.

Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:23 am

um Shin Honestly if you want us to guess who it is, might not want to NAME the file of the Picture. Its like going out into the woods and saying you see trees..

I didn't even know it show the file name. Cause i don't see the file name anywhere.

If you Save the image his name is plain as day.

Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:45 am

Great desing there, shin!
Nice shoulder pads and neck guard..
To everyone here that create designs - putting a neck guard automatically makes your design cool IMO.

I'm digging the shoulder cannon, too..!

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
The symbiote/posessive armor idea works for me!
Bludgeon still cries his pink lightning tears, though - I don't think he will ever find his true mate..

I was just thinking if Bludgeon possessed Death's Head - they both have skulls..?

And the idea to add cloth was nifty - hadn't thought of that - thanks, Loqi!

And yes - Rhinox's head is peeking around in the pic.

Ah yes, the butcher. He was a scarry character. More so when he was a human and not so much just comic releif in a tin can with legs.

Man I loved that show. To bad it ended last week. Least i gues that was the final episode.

Fri Mar 24, 2006 10:22 am

Yes FMA is over but its movie start pretty much were the series ends.

Fri Mar 24, 2006 11:19 am

there's a movie ?

Fri Mar 24, 2006 12:47 pm

No new designs, but here's something else I have been working on.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v708/Ra88/Mythical%20Beast%20Wars%20design/cover1.jpg

Did it mostly out of boredom (hence why the Megs is so f#$@ed up, did it from memory and I HATE drawing snakes). The Nemesis and Ark is a small preview for my own Myth Wars fanfic (if I can get more inspiration for it though, aaaaargh).

Fri Mar 24, 2006 5:35 pm

that's just neat

especially the free part, lol.

Mon Mar 27, 2006 9:44 pm

Heres some Faction symbols for the Sect characters. These will be all walls and items through out Cybertron. Do any of you see any changes i should make to them? Also should the symbols be more than one color?
