Sari Sumdac is one of the best kid support in any TF cartoon. Her role in Animated and character development was top notch.
Spoilers for Transformers Animated pass this point:...
One of the big reveals in TF Animated was the discovery that Sari was not only the adopted daughter of Mr Sumdac, but she was Cybertronian! The first contact her protoform encountered was with Mr Sumdac so that's why she became human. Her affinity with the Key was thus explained. Aware of that fact, Sari evolved into a teenaged form, with some added powers and some fighting capacities.
Unfortunately, TF Animated ended at season 3. What I expected and hoped for Sari was for her to evolve further. I imagine she accessed the Headmaster technology and understood the basics. Sari was then able to transform into a Transformers head. However, she refused to "possess" the body of any living Transformers,
or
. That's why her father, being a genius and CEO of Sumdac Inc., created a transtector body for her. Sari was then finally able to look at her 'bot friends eye-to-eye!
She is expert at flying and she try her best to shoot accurately. She's mostly expert at diversion and support. One of her biggest power being able to push huge air blast, able to either shield her allies, or push back the enemy.
Okay, enough bad fanfics up for the custom!
Main base is TR Windblade. The painting is horrible so she have a... "gritty" look...
Sigh.....
First up, Sari herself, now a Headmaster!
She can still sit in the cockpit, but because the bot head's "pigtails" are not that soft, it's troublesome putting her in there.
The jet mode look more like a jet, since Classic Cyclonus gave his arms to SCIENCE!
The bot mode manage to remain feminine looking, despite her "Popeye" arms. It's "Animated-ish" for look. Right?.... RIGHT?
Weapon storage, also for vehicle mode. I gave up on the blades because it don't fit Sari and it ruin the overall look.
Creating a custom head from scraps and an exacto knife is not easy.
She can hold her gun in BOTH hands. (like, why the original Cyclonus left hand don't have a peg hole?)
Overall, I love that custom despite the very, very amateur results. I'm not used to work at the deluxe scale. If you are an expert customiser, feel free to "steal" my idea and make a better, cleaner Sari Sumdac Combat Evolved!
