I was bored and since I needed to do something to get my mind off of my college work and ~JazZeke started his 'swords are just better group' which coincidently put swords on my brain; I drew these. My transformer OC's swords.

The top is her katana -like sword which was designed and made by Shadow's creator; an Autobot weapon-smith named Artic. It's a rather unique blade being as it was made shortly before her death. The guard or Tsuba is designed in the pattern of a snowflake and the mottled effect on the scabbard is also supposed to be reminiscent of snow. Btw...neither Artic or Shadow lived on cybertron so yes; they knew what snow is. As for how the hell she knew what a katana looks like...I'm going to call it artistic licence, because if there's a planet where they have a robot geisha [link] I bet there's a planet out there with katana...

So yeah...it's special; she doesn't usually use it to fight, but she will do if necessary. It's more often carried to look pretty.

Anyhow...as for the second sword. That's her err... assassination sword. Not too sure what it's called actually. However; it's designed to be nearly invisible in the dark. The blade's made from a black/dark grey non-reflective metal (or it's painted...not too sure on that) and the scabbard is also a dark blue being as it's apparently easier to blend in than pure black. Basically it's a functional weapon designed for to compliment her own function.

So yeah. That about sums them up. I wish I could draw swords better but I'm not going to complain.

All tips, crits and relevant points of view are welcome!
