Pretty Poison

Skywarp skybound (2025) Redraw!

style practice with some jet set radio inspired music bots 🎶

as usual i immediately got carried away and designed some graffiti-ish text tags + also Prowl as the police and the "final boss"... ULTRA MAGNUS !!

alt version as well as closeups and extras under the cut!

Ok i need to list specifics that make me go nuts about this. I love how Soundwave is covered head to toe and it wearing bag clothing. Ya gotta respect character designs where you have know idea what's going on under the mask, and both them and the author have no plans to tell you. It's very under-rated. HOWEVER! That skirt is killer and I now headcanon canon Soundwave would wear skirts/dresses if given the chance. Also shout out to Ravage being a straight up puma (with killer style), Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw being little goober pigeons, and the pins on Soundwave's bag referencing the rest of the cassettes.

Omg the logo!? I didn't even notice it at first but it goes so incredibly hard. Like wtf!? That's so badass!!! And the name? "Trans-formers grindset" even more so.

I know I shouldn't give cops more attention but I can't get over how silly the fucking army of prowl wannabes are. (yeah i know it's part of their uniform, shut up its still funny.) I hate to say it but prowl himself is looking mighty cool. That trenchcoat is doing wonders. As for Ultra Magnus. Ah Mr Ultra Magnus, my boy, I don't think I could hate any version of you. (Well maybe shattered glass but shush we don't talk about that) I love that he's built like a bunker wall and words can not describe how him riding around in his desk is etching it's way into my brain. Well except for the fact he has major Haltman from Kirby energy, but like not evil and possessed by a super computer (wait- oh no, my brain is making connections.)

Omg I am so jealous of Jazz's hair and her outfit. I think Im a sucker for hair like that. And I'll always fuck with fingerless gloves and baggy pants. The splashes of color in the racing stripes really tie everything together.

Blaster looks like such a punk and im so here for it! The floofy hair barely contained by the hat/headphones, the bra & big jacket combo, the bulkiest of kick ass boots with little glass windows? speakers. Just ah, peak design right there.

Then there's the amount of effort you put into their tags. I love how their tags reflect their personality and the fact Soundwave uses the decepticon S in their joined tag is genius! All of the tags and signage is just so fun!
