Ridel — He's a mole

Description Just a sketch I did for a scene that popped into my head a couple nights ago.
For that addiction story thingy, remember?

This is just before John and Lori find out that Ratchet is an Autobot. (That’s him as a holo-matter man I guess)
I suppose this little confrontation will be interrupted by a Decepticon.


I think John has been a little suspicious of Ratchet ever since they met. Not suspicious that he’s a robot. But I guess he’s always just seamed a little bit off to him. Knowing things he probably shouldn’t and being ignorant of things most humans would not be.
Lori, being Lori, trusts Ratchet implicitly.


Finally John thinks he’s figured Ratchet out.
Be believes him to be a mole. Some humans (not many, but some) are offered the chance to work for the Decepticons instead of being killed right away.
There job is to find survivors colonies, places where small groups of humans have managed to dig in and hide, and lead the cons to them.

And so John confronts Ratchet with what he thinks he knows.

They are supposed to be standing next to the ambulance, and that is supposed to be a gun pressed under “Ratchet’s” chin.
It’s a pretty messy sketch, but I wanted to post it up anyway, seeing as it’s the only good thing I’ve churned out in over two weeks.

Proportions are blah, Ratchets chin is WTF blah... It's a very blah picture.

Thanks! I'm glad to know that my progress is visible in my work!

It's fun! You should give it a try! You can always start by making one page comic strips about random things...like coconuts! That's a random subject! XD

Thank you!
I wasn't sure if she really fit in with the rest of the picture. I guess I just thought she looked a bit too shojo or something. But I really don't know how I would fix that anyway. She is a kid after all.

HIS WINDOW. It's ...rolled down!

I never knew they could do that! ! Is it like, winking at him or something?

Ridel In reply to KatieWings [2008-06-03 00:20:41 +0000 UTC]

You are so strange. (but in an awesome way)
No Ratchet is not winking at him!
... Maybe he's winking at us, because he knows that we know that John doesn't know that he's threatening a holo-matter guy instead of the real Ratchet, who is the Ambulance.
Otherwise John would be threatening to blow out his tires or something!

KatieWings In reply to Ridel [2008-06-03 00:33:37 +0000 UTC]

Not the tires!


I don't know why, but suddenly I had a mental image of the poor 'bot with his sirens on top of his head blinking on and off and going "weeeruuuwweeeruuu."


seriously, where do his lights go when he's not transformed? Have I missed something?

Sorry! It's just how the story goes! D:
If it's any consolation, Lori and John end up rescuing injured Ratchet in the end.

It's most the chin, the gun, and the lack of shadow on the ambulance that drive me nuts with this. You know, I drew it so it bugs me a lot more. @__@

Well, why don't you shade the bus and accept the chin and the gun? Maybe it's not a gun, maybe it's a high-tech weapon belonging to Ratchet that John discovered and is confronting him with! ...and there is nothing wrong with the chin!

Well John doesn't know he's an Autobot! He's never even heard of Autobots! He's just doing what he thinks he has to in order to protect Lori. Also I don't think anyone would look to kindly on an individual if they thought they were a Decepticon mole.
