The Energon Pub

After months of planning, weeks of execution, and a small fortune spendt, Mother is finally complete! Behold:

Mother, Cybertronian matron.

Long before the Great Autobot-Decepticon Civil War, there was a female scientist working in the protoforms nursery. She was just an average white collar doing basic maintenace. However, she was fascinated about how the protoforms came to be. Those protoforms who will become Cybertronian citizens. She wanted to be more involved in the creation process so she started studying. However, she barely finished some studies when the bombs rained down on the factory, killing everyone but leaving the poor fembot badly damaged.

That war was an abobination. No way she'll take either side, both being as horrible as the next. So, she remained a pure Cybertronian.

Years, centuries, millenia of pointless conflicts between the Autobots and Decepticons laid waste to Cybertron. All the while, the Protoform Scientist repaired and heavily modified her body. And she studied. She experimented. She stated modifying some protoform to see if it would make something greater than a Bot or Con. It failed horribly. Still, she DID somehow created life. So, she named herself MOTHER, forgetting her old name. Learning from her mistakes, she worked even harder and did many experiments. She now had two more sons. Both had a mission. To go to both warring factions to be her eyes and hears. Both invented themselves a character to play and went away. One to the Autobots, one to the Decepticons. Her sons relayed precious intel for her research.

When the war went to Earth and other organic planets, this gave Mother so many ideas. Some dangerous ideas. Ideas that would change Cybertron forever and maybe, just maybe, put an end to this senseless conflict.

Mother took a very powerful altmode to take on anything that would threaten her and her experiments. No matter if the threat is or . This Cybertronian mobile battle station will crush everything and everyone that stand in Mother's way!







Fully rotatable turret at 360°.

Cannons can fire EVERYWHERE at once!



Because I'm so glad of this custom and it's almost an original "mold" that I made, lemme show you the whole transformation sequence. Of course, no partforming ever happen.












Here's the robot mode. As you can see, Mother is a solid Supreme class figure. Maybe even Ultimate class!














Mother have also two attendants. A minicon, and a targetmaster.

Mother, having learned much about genetics and how the organics reproduce, did the unthinkable.

She modified herself enough to be able to do what no Cybertronian ever thought possible.

Carring a growing life inside of her. Being a TRUE MOTHER.

Mother is pregnant. Pregnant of what she hope will be the ultimate leader to bring the Autobots and Decepticons back together at last!



It will take a long time. But Mother is patient.

I...well, I.... That.... Oh, my gosh.... Gorgeous....awesome, but disturbing. Bafflingly beautiful...unnerving but elegant.

It-It's a work of genius!

It works so well, as if it was designed from the ground up. Frankly, I don't know how you took 3 different figures, and one is even from an unrelated line, and made them work so well.

I love the little details you added to the figure, like the little Autobot and Decepticon symbols on Mother's shoulders.

Seriously, I love the backstory. Sounds like something a professional script writer would come up with!

Va'al! Here's your highlight for the Creative Roundup!

Thanks! You're nicer than 4chan, where only ultra professional 1000$ customs of known characters can please.

What matter is that I had lots of fun building her and I'm glad of the final result.

F**k 4chan, those guys are trolls--they'd bash Shogo Hasui himself if given half a chance. This is a genuinely creative piece of work, and it's beautiful.

Well, among the harsh critisism, there's alway that one guy who bring unexpected inspiration:

I guess if you go by that interpenetration, then it's not that bad and legitimizes her clusterfck appearance. That big gaudy butterfly jewelry still needs to go though.

-kanrabat-s-kreation-apetimus-supreme-t87563s50.php#p1398772

Sure, the Butterfly Mask can look somewhat faggy, but I needed some sort of face-covering thing for her. I imagined she was fascinated by Earth's butterfly and their transformation process. What she have inside her will be born as a larva... that will grow... and grow... and then morph... Then Cybertron will be united!

Oh yeah, I'm going to build that monster. And it will be horrible and terrible.

Well, it's nice to know there's at least one person at 4chan who doesn't act like someone pissed in their cornflakes.

The theme of combining the organic with the mechanic really comes out here. It is creepy as hell and I cannot believe it transforms, bending the rules as to how organic a transformer can look. This is really really cool.. and creepy.

It actually reminds me of a mechanised version of the Racnoss Queen from Doctor Who (picture below). And woah!, this mother will really protect her child, she has insane fire power (where are those arms from?).





What I find really cool is how I thought you needed Leader ROTF Megs OR Leader Leader Brawl. But no, you used BOTH! Holy Sh!T, that is really cool. And it works!

Once again, congrats on this really cool project.

I do have a question though. That butterfly is really the cing on the cake and brings the creepiness up an extra notch by hiding her eyes (unless those wings become her huge eyes). What inspired you for adding it?

Thanks! I just love the concept of batshit-crazy transformers who mod themselves to absurd levels AND are also mad scientists. Just imagine Doctor Frankenstein, beside making his infamous monster, modded his own body with dead body parts in order to increase his power... Hell yeah, that's creepy and awesome at the same time! Mother, originally in her civillian days, was a bot similar to G1 Arcee. Both in size and form. However... Well, you know the rest.

Also, in my story, Pyroflash and Rustbucket are the only sane ones from that freakish familly. They are loyal to their mother and they will do everything to help her... Until she reach the point of no return when the Supreme Being will be born. Stay tuned!

What arms were you talking about? Because she kinda have 6. The turret cannons are from the 2007 voyager Thundercracker (Starscream). The tank turret and the giant arms are from Armada Unicron. The normal sized ones on Mother's female body are from FOC Air Raid.

Told ya, I wanted to make some kind of centaur. I ended up making a nightmarish horror! I really wanted to cover her face with a visor of some sort. I went to a cheap gaudy female accessory store because I had the idea of using a ring. I saw that butterfly ring and I knew it would be perfect. It made for the perfect mask and was full of disturbing symbolism!

My next big project will be The Supreme Being. I'll need some Beast Wars scraps. Especially the big ones. I'll do 2 figures actually. When he was born, and the final "grown up" version. Oh yeah, I'll hang on to that idea. The design may change many times over the weeks and months, just as it happened for Mother. It will depend on the scraps I find and the spur of the moment. This will be the epic conclusion to the Freaks Saga!

That is epic...Its what would happen if Clive Baker fused with H.P. Lovecraft and then decided to go into Transformers you have really outdone yourself. Can't wait to see the supreme being when he's/she/it is done. Excellentework

Thanks man!

I really want to out-bizzare myself with the Supreme Being.

I will take a long time to think about what I'm going to do.
Stay tuned!

It's like HR Giger decided to make a Transformer.

And I love it.

Ive never seen a design this good EVER! The story adds to the awesomeness, the transformation is great, the alt mode is very very very supreme. The time spent doing this really paid off. WEll WELL DONE

this gal would fit in nicely in Bioshock.

You know what it reminds me of? Diamond Ryugu from Dinozaurs. Right down to the "robot" mode with a feminine humanoid body sticking out of a larger quadrupedal monster:

Ankylosaurus form:


Warrior form:


Another view:




Also, as a tribute to its name:

Yes she is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Iu0L67VmI#t=104

Haha . This is so Fking disturbing it's awesome!! i love it , This is your masterpiece Kanrabat

Thank you!

Still, I have another crazy idea. Here's a preview:

There was a problem with the clip that held the humanoid torso in place so it had to be changed.

Now, here's Mother, completely fixed, with a new tiny and shiny feature!




Her "Cybertronian" faction symbol is kinda in a new "spark chrystal".






It now fold perfectly flat for the vehicle mode.



The thing is also solid as a rock.

Well, I thank you all for your support. See you in a few weeks or months for my next crazy project!

When I first saw this, my honest first reaction was "The hell?" But its growing n me. The facemask, I think the only thing it might've needed was some kind of eye behind it, or something to make lenses, but it works very nicely. And the fact that it transforms i nto something that is both alien and solid, with cranes and firepower both and in ultiamtely useful places is awesome. Having studied it for a week, I'm not sold on it being a purebred, even primordial Cybertronian, but it's... something, and now I kinda want to see some story with her/it.

In my story, Mother IS "pure bred". However, she lost that purity over the hundreds of millenias the conflict was going on. She added parts to her body little by little, in order to increase her power and to aid in her reasearchs.

Originally, Mother looked kinda like this:



She now look like the stuff of nightmares...

Oh, and by the way, each single "diamonds" on that butterfly-face-mask of hers are eyes.
Sweet dreams!

There has to be something terribly wrong with any individual who can not only imagine something of such a twisted nature, but take that thought process and turn it into something truly terrifying.

I salute you, good sir. It's disgustingly beautiful.

Thanks and expect more insanity from me in the future months!

WOW. That is some seriously creative/warped work! I love it I don't see many original character customs that I really dig, but this is art. The backstory by itself is awesome but the execution of the figure is amazing. Not only did you somehow get those 3 molds to work together but they transform with no parts forming. Kudos! And as if that wasn't enough, you gave it boobs and a butterfly!

Seriously top shelf

Thanks a lot!

I just LOVE making bizzare but "functional" TFs. My next project will be something more... alive. Stay tuned!
