Just three moodboards for the trio!

= - = - = - = - =

THEMES IN ORDER:

Marissa - Pink Girlypop

Shaoshao - Roaring-Orange/Red-Orange Alley

Atari - Blue Technological-Isolation

= - = - = - = - =

EXPLANATIONS FOR EACH THEME:

"Pink Girlypop" is kind of straightforward, as Marissa, in this rewrite and in the original Kiss Players (except base Marissa Faireborn, where she's a brunette soldier), is a cheery and jovial lady who just wants to have all the fun in the world, even when faced with strife and way too many responsibilities.

"Roaring-Orange/Red-Orange Alley" might need some explanation, because, despite only two of the images fitting Shaoshao's general aesthetic, the rest seemed like nonsense, to which it is, it is nonsense. I just picked some images that go with her color palette without much thought, but to throw a bone or two: the alleyways, cherries, and spiral all reflect the dark spiraling paths people take to gain prosperity, or maybe Shaoshao's wish for good luck and the path that would lead her to it. Simply put, as the Kiss Player who takes every responsibility she can to maintain a prosperous future, she has to go through hell and back to do it, meaning taking risks to achieve it. Not the best way to put it, and probably not canon to me, but if that idea is good enough, I can add it to the rewrite's canon. But for now, it's just an idea.

Could you do a moodboard for Shaoshao Li from Transformers Kiss Players? (Yes, I'm bringing THAT up again, but I have a rewrite for Pete's sake-)

Let me bring up an image of her so you wouldn't have to go through the trouble of looking through Kiss Players content again.

Shaoshao Li (Transformers Kiss Players)

"Love is just temporary.....but power???? Its permanent...."

"Why??? Why Y/n???? I could have given you all the happiness, I could have made you sit on the heaven's throne; still you choose that Bastard over me!!! Why???? You call our relationship friendship??? I call it love..."

Reina Cydaea

"My sweet sweet Y/n~ let me remind you..... Demons don't have gender..... I can be a man or a woman just for you...."

"Y/n my love.... Y/n my queen ....y/n my world ....Y/n my everything..... You were mine then .....then why are you only a dream for me now??"

"I was to be your shield!!! Your protector!!! The one who would have loved and cherish you and our children!!!!! And I failed you!!!! Still you saved me...

Again.........

And again........

And again."

Emperor Ambrosius Calypso 'Amber'

"My Goddess... My Starlight.... This time I'm here for you..... Even if you want me or not.., but I'm here."

"When will you look at me with the same love in your eyes like you do to him??? Aren't you my father too??? Then why do you hate me so much???"

"little butterfly brother will always be with you."

Ariston Y/n L/n

"She is the woman who nurtured my soul and made me on her own with that incompetent monster.....she never let me feel unloved in that hell.... she protected me till the end.....She is my mother... The mother of the 7th Seraphim and this time it's my turn to protect her."

"You would be the most beautiful princess in the world my Anara...."

Anara Y/n L/n

The drawings of the Kiss Players in their robot forms! (Excuse the low quality of the camera; this was taken on my laptop.)

= - = - =

ATARI HITOTONARI - TECHCROSS

TRANSFORMATION QUOTE: "Techcross, TRANSFORM!"

Loves sweets despite being vegetarian

Good with research and technology

Easily terrified of everything (but manages to flesh herself out and be brave later on...)

Overpowered and couldn't control it, plus dealing with a power unfamiliar to her (that power being Techbreaker, and also the ability to create spirit balls of spatial void...)

First character drawn for this rewrite before getting to the others, after all, she is kind of the story's main protagonist if you think about it, especially when you look into the tropes that make up her fighting style and also character.

= - = - =

MARISSA FAIREBORN - HIBISCUS

TRANSFORMATION QUOTE: "Hibiscus, TRANSFORM!"

#1 Optimus Prime Fangirl

Pure definition of genki

Born to sing

Eats human food because she's a human (or really, regardless of what form you take, the person is still human and can still eat human-made food)

Fast Runner (a la Joseph Joestar... "RUN AWAY!")

= - = - =

SHAOSHAO LI - KICKBACK

TRANSFORMATION QUOTE: "Kickback, TRANSFORM!"

Has very high kicks (obviously)

Loves bao buns so much, but doesn't have the chance to eat one

Will kill anything if it goes against her own "code of honor" (or really, anyone who dares lay a finger on those she's close to, she will annihilate them)

Terrified/Has a fear of anything with tentacles (and in the drawing, just an octopus wanting to say Hi to Shaoshao)

FUN FACT: She was initially going to be paired with Hot Rod (like she did with Rodimus in the original), but was changed to Dinobot because of more interesting dynamics and wriggle room to write some interesting dialogue.

THE KISS PLAYER COMPACTS!

The typical item that you'd see in any magical girl show: The magical compact! Here in the Kiss Players Rewrite, it grants the user, typically a human girl with some association with a Cybertronian, to transform into a giant Cybertronian robot, a la magical girl style (with magical girl transformations and magical upgrades to boot).

ATARI'S COMPACT: Basic design for a compact, blue and white, with some technological aspects to it to sell the techno, almost webcore aesthetic to it.

MARISSA'S COMPACT: Basic design, except it's pink and cutesy, with hearts on it symbolizing Marissa's passion, or it's just selling the pink-girlypop aesthetic, which still works.

SHAOSHAO'S COMPACT: The only design that takes allusion to Hot Rod/Rodimus, fire patterns, and a red-and-orange color palette, not only is it very Hot Rod/Rodimus, but it also symbolizes Shaoshao's fiery temper if left untreated, and also sells the idea that, if she's given any form of magical-type, she's definitely fire-based.

KISS PLAYER MAGICAL-TRANSFORMATION UPGRADES! (KISS PLAYER UPGRADES, FOR SHORT!)

FUSIONS: Not an upgrade, as it is a feature of being a Kiss Player, but anyway, it's easily explainable; it's sort of like Fusions in the original Kiss Players mixed up with the Fusions from Steven Universe. Basically, how it works is that one Cybertronian and one Kiss Player can fuse together to make a form that combines both partners' powers into one, creating a formidable opponent/fighter. Example: Borboletta/Malva-1 (Fusion between Elita-1 and Hibiscus/Marissa Faireborn), Velocikick/Dinokick (Fusion between Dinobot and Kickback/Shaoshao Li), and Starcross/Techscream (Fusion between Starscream and Techcross/Atari Hitotonari)

CASSETTES: Ah, yes! The Cassettes! Consisting of Popstar Rosanna, Medic Glit, and Tetrahex Ripper Sundor/Sunder. How they work is kind of similar to how the magical girl transformations in Heartcatch Precure work, albeit differently, of course. They would have a device that looks similar to a cassette player, called a "Kiss Deck", that would have the holder of the deck emit a glow, and then have that glow transferred over to their respective Cassette, where they say a phrase and then transform into their cassette forms, letting the holder take their cassette, say their own transformation quote, and then place the cassette into the Kiss Deck, initiating their transformation. The changes that come with the transformation are pretty minor, outside of weaponizing certain parts of their body to make good weapons out of, like a bladed leg for Shaoshao or a multi-barrel shotgun arm for Marissa (inspired by Polyurethane and Polyester's weapons from NEW Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt).

SPARKBOTS: My Aspect babies! Consisting of Girlypop Lion Angela, Stoic Falcon Zangetsu, and Insecticon Star Dust. How they work is that, when the Sparkbots are in their ball form, to initiate the transformation, the person must draw a symbol onto it with a special drawing implement, typically a paintbrush (the Spark Brush), a marker (the Spark Marker), or even a digital artist's pen (the Spark Pen), whatever it is, when the user draws their respective symbol and says their transformation quote, the Sparkbot in their ball form would launch themselves upward, transform into their own forms, and then shine a beam of light that engulfs the user, initiating the transformation (in a similar manner to the transformations in Kira Kira Precure a la Mode). Much like the Cassettes, changes are pretty minor, but in the sense that the user emits a hue that corresponds with the color of the Sparkbot, like Pink for Angela or Green for Star Dust, alongside having the Sparkbot beside them as a keychain/charm connected to the user's hip, and the symbol they've drawn on the bot being on their chest.

If you think that's not enough magical stuff for these girls to have, don't you worry, I have more currently in its testing stages, and if you think none of them have anything to do with kisses, don't you worry, I have just the thing that can live up to its original concept and bring in a design concept/idea that was featured in many other magical girl shows, another form of makeup outside of the compact.
