Description
Okay, call me crazy or call me inspired, but after staring so long at TF Animated pictures that I was using for reference in drawing the (rather popular) alter-egos, I suddenly came up with the idea that my OC Axle needed an Animated form, too.In the end, I successfully managed to make his chest (the hood) look like a huge piece of paper--completely 2D and not very convincing.
Ignore that minor detail.and wtf DOORWINGS?? hehe I wanted to add them cuz doorwings are cool...
Things I kept in mind while drawing him (these are observations I've noticed in most of the mechs of TFA, not the femmes):
1. The chin's gotta be huge. It's practically what TFA is known for...
2. The nose is very small and is right under the helmet. (like a kitty's!) =^^=
3. The eyes are set back and are always cast in some sort of shadow.
4. Hips are TINY. With the exception of someone like Bulkhead of course.
5. Eyes have pupils, most of the time (except when wearing a visor).
6. Legs have a tendency to bend in a way that would normally not look right with regular anatomy. It works in TFA.
Still working on Sprocket...

Sprocket, the femme, is a blue 2007 Toyota Prius.
Her boyfriend, Axle (in this picture), is a 1992 blue Honda Accord. [link] He's nothing fancy, as I really wanted him to "blend in." Plus that's the type of car I own. :]

Actually, you made it look like he's wearing a baggy shirt that's tucked in... it adds to the cuteness in my opinion.

So that's what he looks like in color! Cool!

Lol, in his TFA form, yeah. He's usually in the more G1 style, I just drew him like this for the lulz. XD
His girlfriend Sprocket came out better because she doesn't have that...er-hem...manly chin. XDD
Thank you!

Again, as with your TFA Sprocket, this is going in my favs because of the handy do-it-yourself TFA original character design tips.

Sprocket is a very lucky femme to have him just as he's a very lucky mech to have her. This is really good.

and yeah I know that, I try a lot to draw my Starshot in animated style but at the end she still looking in Armada style XD
π: 0 β©: 1
XD it just takes practice is all ^^ I'm sure if you tried again, you'd see something a little different.
Btw, I'm trying to work on your pic of Hot Shot as a human...seeing as I've seem to hit an artist's block with his design, do you mind if he's just a headshot? 
π: 0 β©: 1
oh sure, that's what I want only a headshot, like you've done with your human Sideswipe ^^ ,and that's for Jetfire too, only the headshot, beacause I love how you draw them so great ^^
do them as you can, and if you can't it's no problem
