Description Bad femmes gets what they deserve, but with a lot of time to idle in prison, I bet these two will find more than a few ways to spend the time efficiently.

I shall present you: Strika and Flamewar.


You might notice that Flamewar resembles Arcee in some ways, which is true. Hasbro decided that Transformers Prime needed Flamewar as well so they redecoed Arcee's model just like they did with the G1 version in the comics and toy. I just simply didn't want to make another Arcee, thus I mixed both versions and added some improvisations on my own.

Took me three goddarned days to start and finish this style-experiment of mine. I quite like how it came out. Very different from how I usually do art.

I sketched it with OpenCanvas, and then used Pen Tool only in Photoshop CS5 to make final lines with brush set to 2 pixels. FUN! For colors, I used basically only Paint Bucket and Gradient Tool with Magic wand and Lasso. Brush was used to fix areas I missed to Lasso and finer details that I simply couldn't make with the two primary tools.

Total amout of layers: 13

I could have done more but I decided enough is enough!

For Flamewar's flame decos, I decided they're on her feet armor if you were wondering.

I really love how you made Flamewar. Even though you referenced some stuff off of Arcee, she looks like your average completely original femme. Femmes in the tfp universe seem to have similar parts, I always noticed that Airachnid had a few similarities to Arcee. Plus, it makes it looks like Flamewar has the same motorcycle build.

I liked that tfp put in some not so well-known characters, and I was hoping they'd put in more. There's so many that I don't know about, and I'd like to get to know them.
But, with only a handful of episodes left, I don't see a chance that they'd get to do that again. It's a shame umu

I love flamewar she’s my favorite femme decepticon! Also I feel like she would have made a better enemy for arcee in the show. Like they could be twins separated by the war. One decepticon one autobot it would have been interesting anyways it Β beautiful

Thanks, hehe

How Flamewar ended up in Prime, well, here's how she looks if you haven't seen her yet: [link] and I really didn't want to draw an Arcee clone C:

In TF franchise, there's over 400 characters to choose from and with current Beast Hunters theme, we're getting a few old names with new looks What it comes to less known characters, in Prime there really isn't such characters. Bulkhead got well known from Animated, Smokescreen was somewhat a fan favorite from G1 cartoon and even Hardshell wasn't that less known character His name was originally Bombshell but, well, times changes, names has to change and so on

Hey again! Sorry for the reply out of nowhere, I feel weird adding a new comment.

You see, I was thinking about making a Flamewar rp account, and I was wondering if I could use you design as reference!
I'd be sure to credit you for making the design and, if anyone were to compliment it, I'd make sure to direct them to you so they could give praise to the right person.

You're not obligated to say yes, I understand completely if it's not okay! I can always think of a design myself, it's just that I happen to like your's a lot and I think it makes a lot of sense :')

Oh, hi again~

Ya know, it's our discussion thread, so why should you not continue it when you feel it necessary? What it comes to Flamewar's design, go ahead~ I'm totally fine with it as long as credits are given ^^v

Strika looks awesome!

I'm kinda disappointed with Flamewar. I grabbed the cyberverse version of her last week and she basically seems to have Airachnid's personality and goal - kill/torment Arcee. :/

Yuppers, She isn't anything much and I think Hasbro just needed a new "bad girl" into the series, even if it was just a redeco toy

Pff. I miss Breakdown.

But if they're wanting a new "bad girl", why don't they bring in Strika? I'd love to see TFA's "Russian Matriarch" in TFP.

pika In reply to SkylerFarrier [2012-09-03 16:16:24 +0000 UTC]

I've noticed a pattern that the Prime writers are trying to bring less known characters into spotlight, so we might see Strika, who knows ^^

DREADWING! *fangirl squeel dies*

I would like to see Contrail or Tracks, personally /futile hopes and dreams.

I don't know much about Flamewar, but I'd rather see Strika in the series, personally.

pika In reply to TurboTracks [2012-09-03 16:47:18 +0000 UTC]

I'd prefer Strika too I picked Flamewar for this pic as the second character since all the rest Decepticon femmes didn't catch my interest as much.

And.. omg Dreadwing! I had so bad taste in mouth of his model thanks to Skyquake that I already disliked him before he even appeared in the show, but first impression was very good one and .. now I'm totally a fan of him!

TurboTracks In reply to pika [2012-09-03 16:50:00 +0000 UTC]

Dreadwing is my favorite Decepticon. As I like to say, he redeems the name of seekers. He doesn't back down from his goals, isn't a skinny little priss, and doesn't have heels. He gives me hope for that frame type.

Not that I'm a seeker fangirl, not really. I would have liked him whatever his model; it's more the idea of the honorable Decepticon that draws me. BUT STILL.

Just a little bit. ;D I am no Screamer fan, that's for sure. No matter what continuity I see him in, I just can't seem to like his character.

TurboTracks In reply to pika [2012-09-03 17:34:31 +0000 UTC]

YEP, it would seem so. It probably doesn't help I've a had a few weird experiences with people roleplaying Screamer, which didn't help endear me to him. (Not that that's canon Screamer's fault, but oh well.)

pika In reply to TurboTracks [2012-09-03 18:32:02 +0000 UTC]

I simply ignore the RPers or try talk sense into them, if the latter doesn't work, it's a block And I keep them 110% separate from anything canon and I don't let them interrupt my enjoyment of the shows C:
