leap to conclusions

FINALLY getting around to designing the og boss of the cons. By far my favourite design out of the ones I've done :D

My main inspiration for him came from Greek Spartans and idw megs. I'm still debating on if I want his melee weapon to be a sword or an axe though.

He is characterized a little differently in my au. He's very gentle outside of the pits. He has a lot of complicated feelings on the Cybertronian council (which is actually called the Inquisition of Cybertron. More on that in a future post.)

Here's a little closeup of his face too cus I love him so much. He is my scrimbly scrumbo and he is very important to meeeee

Robots who are jealous of other robots who have a display screen, RGB lighting, or better specs.

Robots who wish they had more versatile hands.

Robots with treads who wish they could walk.

Robots who weld extra metal on their form, wanting accessories and body modifications so badly and taking it into their own hands.

Robots who exchange their parts frequently because they're never quite happy with the replacements.

Large robots who yearn to be smaller, and small robots who yearn to be larger.

Robots with obsolete and ancient frames who dream of what it would be like to have been built with the newest technological advances.

Robots made for war with built-in weapons who are ashamed and embarrassed.

“The Bonds We Tied”

I made this for the FIGE project’s final and farewell zine. I could go into my whole introspection of the project but I’ll literally cry, so y’all are going to have to check it out yourselves!!
