Description
A sketch of Prowl without a reference...Tradewinds looking an awful lot like Samus...
Axle, who is VERY pissed off that his girlfriend is dead...
and Siberian Express, one of my newer characters that I never got around to drawing until now. He's an old locomotive Transformer that used to be the foreman of a huge mining colony on an ice planet. The mine has long since shut down and was abandoned, but Siberian Express has remained behind as its sole guardian. His main job is to simply maintain and repair the signal towers that surround the mine so that scavengers and pirates are unable to detect it and attempt to cause trouble.

These are some cool sketches! I like Siberian Express (he seems to have a lot of personality), and the one on the bottom left sort of reminds me of a bee, for some strange reason.
And of course, you can't argue with a pissed-off Axle!

Thank you! I have done a few things with Siberian Express already, and he's rapidly rising as one of my favorite characters. Grumpy old bots are just so much fun to mess with.

Yeah, I thought that the colors would be different. It was just her body shape coupled with the stripes, I suppose. It's good to have distinctive body shapes, though, especially when they're sketches!

Thanks so much again. XD I really like him as a character and hope to do more with him in the future.

Siberian Express is indeed a locomotive. I always thought steam engines were so cool.

I agree, Hasbro once toyed (he he he toyed) with the idea of having TF back in History and they did prime as a choo choo. :-D

That would have been so rad. D: They should have done it.

Yeah, not a good thing that Sprockey is dead. That = unhappy Axle.

Actually, to let you in on a little secret...that's not Sprocket. XD
That's back in the days when he used to be a medic. His first girlfriend, Ganymede, didn't make it during one of their assignments. Which is one reason why he's not a medic anymore.

aww..That's rather sad. I guess He gets a bit overprotective or paranoid over Sprocket huh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes he is. He can be very paranoid about her safety, although half the time it ends up being her watching out for him and busting him out of trouble. They work out pretty well together anyway.

lol, true. A very cute and loving pair.

He has that certain russian feel to him ^^ Way to go... I wonder when you're going to make a polish transformer XD I wonder what vechicle and stylization you would use.
I like his armor design. It has the traits of an animated tf, but then again he is more fitting for the G1 community ^^

I'm not really sure what I'd do. XD I definitely wanted him to have more of a "Russian" feel, so you pretty much got that right. I've been watching a lot of TF: Prime lately, and I really wanted him to feel "bulked up," like how Bulkhead looks, or Ratchet. Still working on it; he's kind of a work in progress.

Nice work anyways... btw, hows my request? XD it's been AGES.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It has been, hasn't it? D: I know I keep feeding you the same excuses over and over again, and I know by now you're sick of hearing them. This might sound weird, but is it possible if I change your request around a little? I might be more motivated to keep working on it if I'm not feeling so stuck.

Okay, no problem as long as you enjoy doing it ^_- And still, it doesn't necesarilly need to be tfs... it's your choice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They'll still be TF's, I'm certain. XD I was just having a difficult time coming up with something and then sticking with it, so I'll be sure to find something you'll like.

He didn't think he used to be, then in more recent events he discovered just how much he missed being around other bots. For years he was just this old guy living on an ice planet by himself, taking care of towers. Now he's starting to rebuild his family, and things are really looking up for him.

Awe that's so sweet. He went from the 'old hermit' to a family 'man'.

I've been writing out his character lately, and he really is different from any other character I've had.

hurhur, the "older" looking, or, the express dude, is really gorgeous.
