Yeah, this felt like something she'd do. ^-^

Considering that she literally ambushed him for this with no warning, I'd say that's a fairly accurate description of his thought processes right now, especially considering Cat really doesn't care that she's embarrassing him (Do you think she and Miko planned this...?) XD

Really? Anything specific you want changed--I mean, this is still a pretty loose sketch. It's open for editing. (Although, like I said, a height comparison would be really helpful for when I eventually go back and fix/ possibly expand this... It was initially going to be more of a full-body shot, but there was something really weird going on with heights and proportions...)

Well, I have no choice but to take you up on that...I think I've been at least slightly shipping them since we discussed Sprite's prankster nature and how he would definitely find an excuse to start a prank war with Cat XD

Man, she'd totally do this. xD Out of the group she is by far the most sociable and the most playfully inclined. Ramhorn tries to keep her humor in check, but he's kind of bad at it and guilty of pranks himself, so it's kind of a case of pot calling the kettle black. (Heck, Miko was probably the one takin' the picture of them!)

Height and proportion for them isn't super drastic or anything. If Sprite's about seven or seven and half feet or so in biped, maybe even eight, she'd be about six or six and a half feet tall by comparison. So maybe a head or so shorter than him. Her beast form is pretty good size, about the size of a female lion and big enough that Miko can ride her like a horse (or like a panther/lion I guess) so she has to appropriately tall enough to take into account her mass. I do like how you connected her "ears" of her beast form as kind of straps to hold the head in place -- that's a nifty idea.

There is some history between these two that I wanted to put in "Pitfall" but it didn't really fit well enough, so I'll be sticking it elsewhere story wise. Catscratch has/had a hilarious tendency of trolling Spritelight when he's hungry. After the Dragon Hunts came to an end, he kind of ran out of silly moderns to target for fuel, and he didn't really want to target any of the warring groups or their stockpiles, though out of desperation he tried a few times to pilfer from the Seelie mine in the Hebrides -- and got caught. Ramhorn wasn't happy, but Cat pitied him and said if he ever needed a donation, she'd give him some. Even though she's quite generous with him when he's desperate, when he's not quite so desperate she and can and will stick Energon crystals in such places as abandoned cars in junkyards where poor Sprite will have a bit of trouble getting to it without raising the alarm. XD

(Thought so, lol!)

Ah, got it. That's about what I figured, but I wanted to make sure.  And I'm glad you like what I did with them--I figured, "hey, why not have the ears as sort of 'sleeves' in biped form?" It just kind of fit, since I wasn't entirely sure what to do with them at first. I was also inspired a little by Arcee's design--although, truthfully, there aren't that many femmes in TFP anyway...but it was also because it was the similarities between the two of them that Miko first noticed.

Poor Sprite, lol! Somehow, that really doesn't surprise me at all. No doubt we're going to see at some point a ficlet or at least a rant about that XD
