Transformers Collectors Club Subscription Service 2.0 Exclusive Chromedome with Stylor. The figure looks FANTASTIC! I AM BEYOND HAPPY THEY GAVE HIM HIS MTMTE HEAD WITH THE YELLOW VISOR. But what sent me screaming around the room was his little bio-card:
During a dark era of Cybertronian history, Chromedome was partnered with Prowl - one of the most decorated members of the Autobot Police, renowned for being painfully detail-oriented and a stickler for procedure. Chromedome stuck with it however, and used this partnership and his position within the police to further his interests in mnemosurgery. The techniques he mastered allowed him to search a suspect’s mind and secure any information necessary for the case.
Interests soon changed to resentment as he was forced to use his skills, not only for interrogation, but also to reprogram individuals’ memories and alter their minds. Over the years he attempted to hide his inadvertently nefarious past as well as his ability to reach into others’ minds… until he ran into another Autobot obsessed with memories. Rewind was persistent and eventually dug his way into Chromedome’s past, and in doing so ensured a place in Chromedome’s future.

spoilers for the final issue of mtmte
I’ve been thinking about this all day, and it’s kind of distracting me from my Work-work, so I’m going to go ahead and write this down so I’ll get it out of my system.
Spoilers for MTMTE #38…
I’ve said this before: Transformers has historically been a pretty regressive franchise, even for...
CRAZY LIKE A FOX! As sunset and certain doom creep ever nearer, the Lost Lighters start ticking off their bucket lists. Nautica takes an Amica Endura, Nightbeat is determined to solve one last mystery, and Rewind and Chromedome at long last discover the truth behind the disappearance of Dominus Ambus! More than one huge MTMTE mystery is solved in “At Close of Day,” now annotated on TFWiki!
ALSO THIS WEEK!
REIGN OR SHINE! Optimus Prime and Soundwave are now working together to take down Galvatron… but unfortunately, the ancient warlord has a secret weapon of his own! As Optimus Prime is once again stung by what Megatron once called “the power of public relations,” Combiner War II breaks out in “It’s Beginning To And Back Again,” now on TFWiki!

So here are some of the characters I’ve been working on lately which have shown up on the cover to MTMTE 41 :) Yes, They are all female transformers and out of these designs 3 of them I also choose the names for.
It was fun to help create these characters. I know I’ve wanted more female characters in transformers for a while now. I’ve always placed one or more in the background of various TF projects I’ve worked on. Now we have the opportunity to have more of them and I’m very happy about that.
When the story came up for having new female characters I knew that I would like to have some of the characters that haven’t been used yet. I know I really wanted Firestar and James was able to get her for MTMTE. Then we were talking and he asked me to come up with a crew of new characters, both male and female and I was pretty excited about that. He didn’t have any names in mind at the time, so I wrote down a bunch of names and looked up on the wiki and tfu.info if they had been used. A lot of them hadn’t to my surprise so I showed them to James and he liked them. I then came up with a head sketch of them, and mentioned which ones were female and which ones were male, and he liked them. then I set out to design them.
These are the design I came up with. I wanted there to be a lot of different looking bots. First I started with Firestar. She is the more traditional look for a female TF, but where her main difference is her height. She is a very tall bot. She towers over most of the others. Not as tall as Megatron or Ultra Magnus, but she’s taller then Rodimus and most of the other Lost Light crew. I also had the idea to give her fire hair since in alt mode her head is the where the exhaust of the car. It also help add a little more emotion to the character since I can have the fire doing different things when she’s feeling different emotions. I thought it was different and something interesting to play with. With her torso design I decided to give her the same style of split canopy that Nautica has since it solved a design issue I was having at the time. Also I like the idea of some of the characters sharing similar design features :)
Next is Javelin. She was fin to draw since I wanted something very different looking. I enjoy the look of the head where is a single eye. i thought can we have a character with a single eye and not be a victim of empurata? why not?.
Next we have Proxima. When I described her to James I said she would be the equal of better of Perceptor. She would be a extreme multitasker. With her e4 head design she has main visor style eye, but 3 other eyes where 2 can move around her head.
Roadmaster was fun to design. I wanted a big characters that looked like she would bend and break you if you looked at her the wrong way. She is the biggest of the characters I’ve designed so far, matching Ultra Magnus in height (well to his head, not shoulders) When I was working on this character I thought an interesting variant would be to make a strika out of her, but then I would want strika to be a bit bigger then her. But the idea is in the back of my mind so maybe I’ll work something out of it?|
Last character who isn’t on the cover, but I saw that she was partially shown on a post on the credit’s page is Velocity. Another fun design where I got to play around with features that I don’t normally see with many TF’s :)
Thats it for now
Enjoy :)
