#mandroid final form tfe

So like in my horror verse, Mandroid A.K.A “Vic” is an anti-hero. He’s been brought back and given a second chance at life, Alex asked him for his help as humanity now faces a new threat - The Plague Virus. Brought to Earth, ironically enough, by none other than Mandroid himself after he returned through the space-bridge.

GHOST continue to fund the scientist’s upgrades and this time, he’s their project. Earth has less than a year before the Plague spreads out of control and both the Transformers and Humans world will be changed forever.

Guess it’s a good thing he’s got side-kicks like Twitch to add even more misery to his days then? 😂 I had to draw this scene because I liked how Twitch tried to reach out to Mandroid, back when he was still human. I figure she helps keep him human despite that he is so far removed from them at this point. So here she is making fun of him and making him wear stupid sunglasses cause they’re like his lil’ windows now

Dammit I love this punky cat-weasel so much~

I like both versions with and without lighting effects so here, have both~

So I’ve decided to make a horror-verse version of Mandroid, who we will call ‘Victor’. In this au, Vic is reincarnated after the healing ray undoes the damage his energy weapon caused. After being brought back, Vic finds himself at a crossroads in life. His ultimate weapon was a failure and it cost him his life, seemingly for nothing. He is approached by Alex Malto, who still wishes to extend a show of friendship to the man he once knew. Vic is hesitant but also in a great deal of shock. With nothing to look forward to, he begrudgingly accepts and, in a sense’ ‘teams up’ with his former enemies against a new threat.

The new threat being the Plague Virus that is not only a threat to their face, but also to humanity as well. Mandroid’s original goal was to protect humanity no matter what, so that is still his objective. He’s definitely not going to be easy work for them, though. He still has much to sort through mentally as well as physically, as his form continues to be upgraded. I’m hoping to explore more of it with some comic panels going forward. Somehow I can’t get it out of my head, the idea of Mandroid becoming an anti-hero. It was necessary, I had to make it happen 😂👌🏼

Made myself sad drawing this. So like, I was thinking about how sad it must be for Mandroid, stuck inside the Final Form mech armour. Keep thinking about him in the rain, probably enjoying the sound of it on his lil’ windows. Kinda feel like he’d enjoy watching it, maybe? Nothing much else for him to do stuck like he is.

I figure he’s just a big snake mech thing inside, prolly loads of cables and wires everywhere. Maybe he is somewhat unfinished - I still think that it’s very likely he struck up a deal/s with the Sharkticons, potentially some other races perhaps. He would’ve gotten what he wanted in this form, but I also think he’d would’ve been thinking ‘…Why did I ask for this..’

Been chatting loads about FF with @monocle-teacup and @turtwap 🙏

More inventory for the Mandroid Hell. I blame @monocle-teacup and @yayoineko for this 😂👌🏼 Mandroid has so many catty qualities. I can just imagine him growling like one.

So yeah I have this idea that Mandroid could be an epic anti-hero. Imagine he this recruited by his former enemies, because of some new, worse threat… and they make life hard for him in the base. So many pranks. Ahahahahahah. I hope he comes back in season 2 I’m literally tying myself in knots wondering about it.

It’s weird how it happened for me - I somewhat liked him at first, liked him more when the story progressed but then when I saw that Final Form weirdness, I was sold~
