Recently completed colored commish that's part of a larger origin story for how Strongarm became Grand Strongarm!
Some assorted trivia here:
Slink and Snitch are lifted from the RiD15 children's chapter books, with my designs and personalities for them being heavily inspired by Molly and Mac Mange, the Metallikats, from SWAT Kats. In fact, it goes so far as them being voiced by April Winchell and Neil Ross, reprising the crooks indirectly.
The Grand Device's colors are inspired by G1 Galvatron's original toy, with the Device resembling Galvatron to homage his infamous Unicron upgrade from Headmasters.
Zeta is lifted from Angry Birds, a villainous bird from the game and movies with an ice theme. The same Zeta was one of the flock who was part of Angry Birds Transformers, where she represented Slipstream and Nightbird. Here Zeta's just an RiD-fied version of her movie character design, using Filch and the other Corvicons as a basis. She's actually in Robot Mode, with her Vehicle Mode being based on the Tank Knights Fortress style vehicles Angry Birds Transformers went with.
Windra is from the Japanese RiD15 toy line, ironically colored to more RatBat like than RatBat actually is.
OC Mole Dive is named and colored after Cybertron Menasor (who was named Mole Dive in Japanese). Funny enough, in one of his component mole Beast Modes, I'm realizing he's colored similarly to Grounder from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
In past RiD15 comics I've done, I made references to IDW and IDW2, but now we're entering the Skybound reference era, with Clawtrap name dropping Goliant from Void Rivals.
Saberhorn's comment about the myth of the rational Decepticon is a bit of a jab at IDW related material trying to make them more sympathetic and, well, rational. Windra's comment is in relation to Skybound making the Decepticons back into villains again.
