Good stuff. It combines the technical realism that they were striving for with the new movie Transformers with the cleanliness and power they had in G1. Totally awsome.

My brother came up with a concept about 5 years ago called Transformers: Race Wars. I believe the premise was that the war was over, and now Cybertron was a world of beauty, entertainment and games. My brother is very picky, so none of my designs had the energy he was looking for, so the idea never took off. However, I did whip this character up recently and he was finally pleased, so I thought I'd let you guys see it too. I hope you guys like. Let me know what you think, okay?



Burnout X (Production Notes: Wow, I can't believe this character is almost 5 years old and she hasn't had a major overhaul since she was created. I was considering naming her something different, but haven't decided yet. Notice the extracted "rib" vent on her side. Now she has developed a way to alleviate the inner tension on her circuits by exhaust tubes that release overheated and compressed air.)

It is definately an interesting concept., where are the rest of the "car parts"? Where is the car roof? where are the doors? where is the cockpit? I don't see where any of thos parts go in robot mode.

To answer your questions, the doors are actually on her back. Although because of their positioning you wouldn't really be able to see them in this image. I have enclosed an early design sketch. See image below:



As for the cockpit, that is "compartmentalized" in her thighs, but not really a main concern for me as this is a cartoon and it wouldn't need to be alluded to until one of those techie episodes I've always loved. The mid to rear of the car are her legs, which I'll show in later image. One thing I love about the Lamborghini Gallardo is that he rear of the car is PERFECT for legs, without having to use any kibble.

Thanks for the comments guys!
