Description Continuing my pixelated Seeker icon collection. I bring you the Coneheads! This one is Thrust. Of all the ones I've put up on dA, I'm least happy with this one. He's too dark, and it's hard to see his lines. But if I lighten him, he starts looking really red or, worse, pink. I kept trying different things, but nothing looked better than this. Sooooo, here it is...

This is also a 'Plz' icon. Its name is thrustjetplz. To use it just type :iconthrustjetplz: and you get this .

Here are the ones I've made so far:

Dont be silly. He looks SUPER awesome. I was wondering if you could also make an ice blue one for the third wing of the Rainmakers.

Thanks! I was thinking of making that one, but he doesn't have a name. I could anyway, it'll be easy enough, I just don't know how I'll name the 'plz' icon. Maybe bluerainmakerplz? Also, Slipstream is kind of an ice blue. Maybe I can find a shade in between her's and Thundercracker's blues.

I would love to. I'm having problems finding good reference pictures for him though. (I can't remember his colors. Doh.) Every pic I seem to find is a toy pic, and those are from the Bay movies - which he wasn't even in. *cough*

Those pics show him as an F-15 with a tan body, rust-colored vents, and light and dark gold highlights. Here's the pic: [link] But being a toy (especially from the Bayverse) it probably doesn't look anything like him. I can do this one, but I know the light gold lines wont show up. If there's a better reference pic of his jet form, link it and I can use that.

Nah don't check that one...check this one >>>>> [link] <<<<<

Now he is in robot mode but you can see the texture of the plane on him. Most of the parts.

Cool! Is he an F-15? Kinda looks like he is (tail fins appear to stand straight up, unlike the F-22), but it's hard to tell... And the colors look like a desert camo pattern. Sound good?

Oh, lol, oops. Okay, I'll draw one up. I'm finishing up a fanfic (Seeker one even ), then I'll work on him. I should have him done tomorrow or the next day-ish.

How's this look? I have problems matching metalic colors, sooooo its more tan, than gold.

I haven't posted this guy in my gallery yet (I just made the plz account), but if you like it, I'll go ahead and add it.

Thanks! Hehe, when I pulled reference pictures for F-15s, and the first three Seekers I did (Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp), the windows tended to have a goldish tint to them. So after that, I stopped checking and just used the same template for the rest. I'm lazy.

I'm starting on some of the Autobots now, in between working on my fanfics. The only Seeker I have left, that I can think of besides the hordes of nameless ones, is the nameless blue Rainmaker. (Technically, according to TFWiki.net, Sunstorm's not the yellow one, but I'm saying he is. )

In the comics he was a magenta color, but that probably wouldn't work either XD I like it though.

Hmmm, probably not. Not enough contrast with the black. Most of the reference pictures I saw of him showed him as maroon, but a couple were bright red. I finally just went with the majority, and tried different shades of the maroon. It'd be easier if there was some consistency between continuities.

Glad you liked it.

I agree, Thrust is more or less kept at dark reds. They always change his optic colors too X3
