#husaria

This year’s trading card, for a polish convention vendors community! Featuring yet another transformer OC - HUSAR14 :> Her design is inspired by the polish husaria - an elite heavy canary formation active in Poland around XVI-XVIII century! The very special thing about them were giant rear wings they used to wear, used to scare and intimidate their enemies. I always found them extremely cool, and now I finally had the motivation to create a transformer based on their armour ^^

Read a bit more about her below ^^
