Description Phew, bout time I got this guy down! He's been loitering on my computer for several months now (last year, I think? O_o) But last night I finally got up the motivation for this. It was a challenge to decide which parts of his armor to keep white and which to make two-tone, especially since his optics and biolights are two-tone! But I'm generally pretty happy with the result! My favorite design aspect are his "coattails" though <3

Knighthawk is a former Velocitronian -- by former I mean his family relocated to Cybertron when Knighthawk was pretty young. If he had stayed on his home planet, he probably would have been a racer like everyone else, given his superior speed and agility, but when he hit the streets of Iacon, he almost immediately realized all he wanted was to be an Elite Guardsmech. His dream career is pretty much the only awe and idealism he has; in every other area of his life, he has a warlike spirit and believes that anger and aggression is the best way to settle any kind of disagreement. He often needs his brother to talk him down before he hurts people over something that doesn't even matter in the long run! 

When he isn't snapping at people who look at him the wrong way, he's usually debating worldviews with people a little more civilly. He has a lot of opportunities to strike up conversations in his current job as a lowly guard for the outer hall in Iacon's Great Dome. To a degree, keeping him occupied with a clear argument is the best way to keep his temper in check. His favorite "sparring partner" is Oracle, who works as a computer technician. They're rather unlikely friends, but Oracle admires him (has a crush on him) and Knighthawk's tempered by her. He thinks of softer, more pacifistic bots like her as the weaker kind but also takes something of a protectiveness toward them. He's terrified of loss and despises helplessness; he'll do pretty much anything...tear through anyone...to make sure the few privileged people under his protection stay protected.

Knighthawk's transformation is unknown (he usually relies on his speed in root mode) and his voice actor is Fred Savage.

Here he is! xD

I think his personality really suits him, and I think it's neat how he looks like he's wearing a mask. He looks very regal. x)

Thank you!! I don't know why, but most of my fanciest mechs are either Decepticons or they're just really cranky, lol. I knew I wanted a mech with a mask and I'm really pleased with how it turned out! He probably hopes that he'll look his best when he finally, eventually gets promoted.

Ohhh what a pretty boy!
No wonder his holoform was such a  hunk. <3

I love his coattails too! I'm a sucker for a bot with 'clothes-like' attributes though. He's so regal and fierce looking!
His personality is great too, in that...he could tip either way, his saving grace being that he does have a sense of duty towards those he views as 'weaker' than himself.

You are getting better and better with every submission, seriously. It's awesome!

I'm really pleased with how he turned out -- although, why is it that the lookers are so often the cranky ones? XD

Usually I'm not too fond of bots with "clothes" and "hair", but if I can find a way to make it not look as soft, I'll use it anyway! I figure I may very well give his holoform a trenchcoat at some point, as a tribute to the coattails, haha. 
Yeah, he's almost always on that stressful point between simmering and boiling over. It comes back to bite him sometimes but eventually, no matter what, he'll come back and grudgingly make it right. Who knows? Maybe the "weak" bots in his life will soften him sooner or later!

Thank you so much!! I've been really pleased with my recent art and I'm optimistic about where I'm going from here!
