TFA Redesigns
Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 3:01 amI realized the other day that the "Transformers Animated" universe is even MORE super-hero-friendly than the Marvel G1 comic, and they had their own mutant team. Running with that thought, I made a TFA design of anti-heroine Circuit Breaker. Since she's supposed to be a child prodigy computer-techie wiz who was hired right out of high school, I ditched her sexalicious tin-foil bikini in favor of something more modest (and, y'know, actually protective). I also threw a bionic eyepiece onto her as a double homage to both the Borg of Star Trek and to her comic book origin where she was electrocuted when Shockwave attacked the "high-tech computer-controlled oil derrick" she was working on, since the TFA Shocks never actually made it to Earth itself.
The second pic is just a sketch of a TFA version of the Go-Bot Pathfinder; I decided that since she's both an alien to the TF universe AND has a flying saucer for an alt-mode, I'd play up the alien aspect of her, but while doodling her, I realized those saucer halves on her upper arms really look wing-like, which, since she's in-canon one of the only Go-Bot survivors to cross into the TFU, sort of gives her a disturbing "angel" imagery that I can probably play with.
...and, yes, her in-canon TF body is SUPPOSED to be a blue version of Cosmos, but I really didn't want one of my early cartoon crushes looking like a short obese Peter Lorre impersonator.
