==========================[ +ICfinger for Polarity ]==========================
Polarity, Evil Decepticon!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Species: TRANSFORMER
Faction: DECEPTICON
Function: AIR COMMANDO
Rank: 1/Pilot - Aerospace

Quote: "I've got a magnetic personality and lethal attraction!"

Note:
Arrogantly proclaims himself a master of magnetics; though Polarity does have some power to back those boasts up. When he's not trying to use said powers to make his enemies look like fools and play pranks on his fellow Decepticons, then cracking bad puns about it. You've got to watch your back when he's around, less you find an insulting sign magnetized to your back or your chair abruptly yanked away. Able to generate super-magnetic fields around his body and control them at will, strong enough to deflect attacks and hurl metal objects arround. In jet mode uses the fields to mangle other aircraft with fly-bys at Mach 2.5, magnetism also helps hold his body together during high-G maneuvers. Both modes also use guns that fire magnetic-propelled shells. Because he likes to show off to friends and foes alike Polarity will often waste time trying to impress others and humiliate his foe when he should just be getting the job of scrapping them done with.

Skills: Aerial Combat, Magnetic Manipulation, and Mean Tricks

Looks like a photo of a toy.

Yeah, we were discussing on the game how he looks a bit too starscreamy (especially when it had bright red instead of the now somewhat maroon shade), but the point is, he is painted akin to a classic bar magnet. I actually think he looks too much like Misfire!

I love the bar magnet reference. I think you should give him the bright red back, but instead, make the rest of his body a darker shade of steely grey instead. At the moment, there is not enough visual contrast on his body for a person to pick up on the fact that it's already steel colored -- our brains interpret it as silver. Ditch the blue (sorry, Spinny, if this was actually explicitly written into your desc!).

Using sterlinggrau will also give you a chance to use that pearl texturing/lighting/etc. exercise that I pestered you into a while ago. If you really want to push the whole iron/magnetic theme a bit more, why not add a skin on some of the surfaces to make it look like the grain of a polished steel cross-section, like so?

Hmm, that does look very Starscreamy, but it is nice!

Once again you do not fail to impress! I love the pose using his power on those sigils, and the smug little smirk he has. You've captured who he is wonderfully.
