Description
And now for something completely different (love Monty Python references).I decided to try my hand at doing some of the movie-style Transformers. But only their head-shots (because doing the whole body would probably be a bitch to do).
I thought I'd start with some of the cast of Reign Of Starscream, which takes place after the first movie (and is a pretty darn good story if I do say so, with some awesome artwork by Alex Milne).
Anyway, from left to right we have:
Thundercracker:
A member of Starscream's Seekers makes Thundercracker a very deadly member of the Decepticon army, he is extremely loyal, however he is not as experienced in the field as other warriors.
When the Decepticons searched the various galaxies for Megatron and the Allspark, they came across a red planet (Mars) and Thundercracker was chosen by Starscream to stay behind to maintain their ship, the Nemesis, whilst the remainder of their warriors left for a small blue planet (Earth) to search for the Allspark.
Later, his commander returned (proclaming himself as 'Lord Starscream' ), telling him that Megatron was dead and the Allspark had been destroyed. He was instructed to download data recovered from one of their infiltrators, Frenzy and transmit it to Cybertron. During the process they came under attack from a small group of Autobots.
Thundercracker joined the fight, blasting the Autobot, Air Raid, out of the sky and then confronting Cliffjumper and Camshaft.
He sliced Camshaft in half, killing the Autobot and pinned down Cliffjumper. Before he could deliver the finishing blow, his neck was slashed by Arcee, the only female member of the team.
He was saved from being killed by Starscream who berrated him for his weakness and got him back onto the ship where they headed back to Cybertron. Once back home, he was repaired and took his place at Starscream's side during completion of a replica of the Allspark.
After this, Dreadwing, the commander of their drone forces, betrayed Starscream and attempted to take leadership for himself. Thundercracker sided with his Lord during the following battle, who dubbed him as 'commander' as he left to eliminate the traitor.
After the battle was over, Thundercracker left for space to find where his Lord had vanished to.
Whether he will end up on Earth remains to be seen.
Alt Form: Cybertronian jet (if on Earth, he'd most likely be an F-22).
Hard Top:
A Decepticon scout, Hard Top developed a fierce rivalry with the Autobot, Bumblebee to such an extent that he feels it is his right alone to end his life. Such is the extent that rumors circulated that he was the one who damaged Bumblebee's vocal processor (in reality it was Megatron) causing his muteness. In any case, he won't have the chance to fulfill his wish, as during an attack on their ship by a group of Autobots, he was sniped and killed by Arcee as he was in the process of targeting the Autobot, Smokescreen.
Alt Form: Unknown (A scout buggy if he ever got to Earth)
Ramjet
Ramjet is another member of Starscream's Seekers, however he is not as loyal or honest as Thundercracker and only pretends to gain favor. In fact, he does not believe in the Decepticon ideals and only joined to receive more power and status.
He welcomed Starscream upon his return to Cybertron but when Dreadwing attempted his takeover, he betrayed his commander and sided with the traitor. During the following chaos, a group of Autobots initiated an attack and Ramjet was ordered by Dreadwing to engage them. He pinned down and was almost killed Armorhide, but he was beheaded and killed by Crosshairs before he could finish the Autobot.
Alt Form: Cybertronian jet (F-22 if he ever got to Earth)
Stockade:
A labourer, Stockade only joined the Decepticons to enact as much pain and suffering as he could. When Starscream returned to Cybertron, he was instructed to oversee a workforce of captured Autobots at building a replica of the Allspark.
After completion, the replica failed to work and Dreadwing attempted to overthrow Starscream.
Stockade sided with Starscream and fought Payload, a fellow Decepticon worker, during the battle. It is unknown if he survived.
Alt Form: Unknown (an SUV if he ever got to Earth)
Crankcase
Why Crankcase even joined the Decepticons is a mystery.
All he does is complain at the duties he is assigned and does not seem to be a firm believer in their cause, or a strong reliable warrior.
His constant whining became the death of him when he spoke out of place in front of Starscream who used his life-force, along with a group of Autobot workers, to power his Allspark replica.
Alt Form: Unknown (a Dodge Magnum if he ever got to Earth)
Vortex (jokingly dubbed Snitchotron)
Vortex is one of the few Decepticons with a single optic (including Shockwave) who does not have drone units modeled after him. During Dreadwing's attempted takeover, he alerted the rest of the Decepticons to the position of the small group of Autobots staging an attack. He was sniped by Arcee immediately after.
Alt Form: Unknown (presumably a Cybertronian tank judging by his two shoulder cannons).

I'm not sure if you seen Dark of the Moon, but Crankcase was one of the three "Dreads" that chased Bumblebee, Mirage, Sideswipe, and Sentinel Prime down the highway. The other two were Hatchet and Crowbar, and together, the group functioned as assassins and retrieval specialists, as they were sent to find Sentinel Prime and retrieve him for the Decepticons.
On another note, these are interesting concepts for other Decepticons that didn't make it into the film.

Dude, no offense, but yes I have seen the movie, and this IS NOT THE SAME Crankcase.

I didn't mean to offend you, and I apologize if I did. I try to keep up with current events happening in the franchise, so I tend to miss something here and there. I wasn't aware that there was a Crankcase who came before the events in DOTM. Once again, I apologize if I offended you.

I don't mean to sound rude, but honestly, this picture was uploaded months before even ROTF came out...

No offense, but it isn't that hard to work out. Especially if you bothered reading the description. And your guess wasn't even close by the way.

Look good. I say you sould do their complete body structure. It'll add more features to the characters and we (the viewers) can see how they look like. Especially since you did the heads your own.
