Description I had to take a break from pencilling, at least for tonight, so I colored this picture of Cheetor I drew earlier.

Yes... He's my favorite Transformer.

Whoa! Awesome background, dude...I love the contrast between the grassy hilltop and the ultra-tech machinery int he distance.

I also love how you've kept the inspiration from Cheetor's "Beast Machines" incarnation--for my money, that was the most badass form he had (dual sabers for the WIN, man)! Kudos to you.

I only recently got to liking Beast Machines. What can I say, I'm far to attached to Beast Wars and my own theories for how that all resolved. That and I simply adore all-mechanical Cybertron. Beast Machines wound up being AU for me--but one hell of a trippy "well what if--" twist.

Cheetor was probably my favorite looking 'bot in BM! He just looked--friggin' awesome. And I loved the swords. He went from a dippy cub to a total badass. Rattrap looks cute too, I just wish they showed him using those legs I know he's hiding somewhere.

Totally love your style. Very shiny, nice to look at. Cheetor looks awesome and heroic, and his stance is marvelous. You also gave technorganic Cybertron a cool look: better than that half-assed glance at the end of Beast Machines. As much as I prefer Beast Wars and it's all-mechanical Cybertron...I cannot deny how fantastic this looks.

Well, thanks for the watch.

I'll admit, when BM first came out, I had some issues with it. But I made friends with one of the producers on th show, and I leanred a lot of stuff that went on in the background of the shows production that made it a little more forgiving in my eyes. (Stuff that's common knowledge today, but wasn't then.) Like I know that half the last season was intended to be totally different than what happened, but budgetary restraints got in the way. I thought the show had a lot of potential and it's heart was in the right place... But it was a flawed execution.

Still though, it's one of my favorites.

Paradox-OS In reply to MachSabre [2009-11-26 07:21:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh no, don't get me wrong! AU or not, Beast Machines is an awesome idea. It's better than a lot of Transformers material I've seen. Very well-written, the CG is nice...they definitely put a lot of effort into it.

It isn't the show itself and how it all ended up that makes me call it AU, it's just the technorganic concept itself. Fun as it is, I'm a sucker for all-mechanical Cybertron, and my own theories of a happier ending for the Beast Wars bots when they get home. The idea of an all-mechanical world and all-mechanical people is friggin' awesome. Technorganic, meanwhile, seemed somehow less original...almost like any other cyborg/alien world in sci-fi. The Beast Wars bots never struck me as technorganic: transmetals excluded, I thought their beast modes/armors were more synthetic, or at most a sort of "fur coat". But hell, Beast Machines is still Transformers, and I love 'em.

All things considering though...Beast Machines is a great idea, and I only wish it could have been treated a little better. It's still fun to watch though, if the mindset is right.

Forgive me, I have a love of ranting. I'll stop flooding your nice comments page.

He's a seperate character, but he sort of serves that role of the "aspiring youth" in the shows he was in.

Thrustinator's head is the wrong color. I thought it was a bit more purpleish than that.

MachSabre In reply to TM2DB [2007-11-11 21:46:12 +0000 UTC]

It's actually more maroonish. (I went off the Cycledrone toy, as opposed to the Thrust toy.) The highight made it a little more reddish than I would have prefered, but I figured he was seen for like six seconds. I'll forgive myself.
