I still struggle with colors a lot but here’s my boy!! Gotta say, solid reference for him!
Original sketch by Andrew Griffith
"LIEUTENANT YOU NEED TO COME QUICK!! GET OFF THE PHONE!! LIEUTENANT! MOM! LIEU--!!"
Can’t have a meeting in peace with this crew.
No he really is huge though! He's bigger than Ultra Magnus himself. 👀

And for the last digibash of today i give you Autobot Vibes from Dreamwave and IDW comics. For her i used POTP Punch/Counterpunch mold with Netflix Elita One Head. I love how she turned out, especially her colors, though i had to compromise her chest area which differs from source material. Nevertheless this one is one of my favourites.
Where there is Swindle, his partner Trickdiamond isn't far behind. And where is Trickdiamond you can 100% guarantee that somewhere in the shadows is her ninja friend Flowspade.
------------
Not much to say here. Just happy i managed to finish another 2 gals from my digibash list.
Transformers, Trickdiamond and Flowspade belong to Hasbro and Takara, These digibashes i guess belong to me
Choose your Fighter:
A)Stalker Simpette B)Communication officer medical assistant
Transformers, Lunaclub and Moonheart belong to Hasbro and Takara This digibash i guess belongs to me
P.S: There is only one team member left for me to do.
P.S.2: I would be glad if someone could sent me a Combiner arm Siege spinister fan mode.
Rise of the Beasts and Earthspark Nightbeat from ROTB mainline Mirage and Earthspark Bumblebee ------------------------------------------ Some of you requested him, so here is our beloved Detective, but this time i give 2 Nightbeats for the price of one. ------------------------------------------ Nightbeat, Transformers, Earthspark, Rise of the Beasts belong to Hasbro and Takara These Digibashes belong to me
IDW/Dreamwave Autobot Vibes from Generations Blurr ---------------------------------------------------------------- A long awaited (or not) follow up to one of my first digibashes as well as another idea that remained in the backlog list for too long. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Transformers, Vibes, Blurr belong to Hasbro and Takara This Digibash belongs to me
starscream: orion pax has betrayed you
megatron, who has been consistentally antagonistic to orion thru this entire comic and yet still expected orion to support him:
Man, Brainstorm seems to be trying to outdo Optimus himself in “times died” huh?
This. Not to mention it JUST STARTED. We could get a bunch of new characters with who know what kind of new relationships.
Chill (IDW2 spoilers)
Guys, please just chill a little bit. It’s fine to make memes on tumblr and be sad about your fav dying, and scream at the uncaring universe, but please don’t harass the new writer.
IDW2 is a completely different continuity, hence the reboot. There’s a good chance that EVERYTHING will be different in this iteration since it’s being helmed by a different writer who was tasked with rebooting the continuity. That means character importance, character relationships, personality and worldbuilding are all up in the air. I think it’s fine that he didn’t read all of mtmte, it’s not his job. IDW hired him to create something new, not to continue Jro’s legacy. That story is over.
Brainstorm’s death isn’t a case of the ‘bury your gays’ trope. He would have to be one of the only established gay characters in the current continuity and then killed off for dramatic effect. A better example of ‘bury your gays’ would have been Rewind before he was resurrected (the story introduced a romance and then killed off one of the participants for drama). I’m not sure if the old idw continuity could do the ‘bury your gays’ trope because everyone was lgbtq (since gender never seemed to be a factor in attraction or romance for the cybertronians) and there were multiple characters in lgbtq relationships by the end of the comic’s run.
Brainstorm wasn’t established as anything in this continuity. If he stays dead, he’ll be a very minor character in the grand scheme of things. That’s something the fandom is going to have to adjust to. Some characters who were hugely important in mtmte/lost light will be minor or background characters in this new continuity, and one thing about minor/background characters is that they have a very short life expectancy in a transformers comic(RiD more then mtmte. RiD had a ridiculously high body count). Think about how many times a bot was introduced only to die a few pages later in idw1? Many of those characters were people’s favs from older series, but they weren’t important in the idw continuity. The reboot is an opportunity for characters who have been sidelined or neglected to be in the spotlight, a fresh start.
The old idw timeline will always exist, there’s nothing anyone can do to change it now. idw2 won’t diminish it somehow if it’s not exactly the same. I have no idea if this new comic is going to be compelling, but at least judge it on it’s own terms rather then how closely it adhere’s to idw1 canon.
tl,dr: New continuity means that old major characters will be new minor characters. Lots of them will probably die because it’s a transformers comic and death is everywhere. The sheer number of lgbtq characters in the old continuity means that some of those characters will be introduced and die right away in the reboot just as a consequence of being in a transformer property rather than as evidence of harmful trope or an insidious problem with the storyline
There’s only been one issue, give the story a chance.
