Description Holy CRAP I should have been in bed hours ago! >_<;

But noooo, I go and do something boring like this. e.e;

Anyway, I've seen people doing this all over the place, so I felt like giving it a shot with Raider... since I have the longest timeline of him, I think. Well, excluding maybe Windracer. o.O;

There's only ONE pic missing, and that's the FIRST image I did of him, as a baby... in oekaki, YEARS ago. But you're all better off. XD

All images are Mine, Transformers are Hasbro's, and Raider in all his evolutionary stages ishk MIEN.

I love this~ I would do something similar for my people but I'm so ashamed of what my drawings were like in the past that I couldn't. T_T

I like being able to see how he changed. Thank you for sharing.

well that's not the type of evolution I was showing off, here. I was basically displaying the way I've drawn him over the years, and how he's changed practically every time I've done him. It really has nothing to do with continuity (though they just happen to be conveniently in order from Armada- Skip Energon - Cybertron, and what not)...

Hehe, awesome. Cool to see how the big guy has evolved.

^^ I always hated dealing with sizes, because from a book that told me Warp's height, Seekers are 35'.

*Laughs* Devy being 60'. Which is funny as he's as tall as Varya would be long. Silly dragon-chopper.

Schmedderling [2006-12-04 22:55:06 +0000 UTC]

Really amusing how scrawny he started off being. XD I kinda like it though, reminds me of Nightscream or whateverhisnamewas from Beast Machines. Pretty much only in the lankyness though.
And nice job on him and Terrablast, I remember that image...

Autobot-Windracer In reply to Schmedderling [2006-12-04 23:07:03 +0000 UTC]

Cheetor? xD 'Cause that's the transtech design I was looking at when I designed that uber lanky Raider... Transtech Cheetor. Hoo. And actually, that's Cinderblaze... one of Terrablast's characters. Close enough though. heehee.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Schmedderling In reply to Autobot-Windracer [2006-12-05 22:04:32 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, yah, I guess Cheetor would work too. Nightscream was just a more prominent character in my mind, because I found him slightly more interesting.

Hmm, maybe I'll make Nordic lanky, but that depends on the transformation. I need to find ski-do and snowmobile ref pics. >_<

Ah well, you're right, close enough. And I do know she's Meg's daughter or something.

Well, they have yet to exist on paper, so far I've only got Slipstream (Seeker) and Gearshift (futuristic car, mannlick's design). I've got an alignment and general appearance in mind, but I still have to choose attitude and gender and such...

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

Schmedderling In reply to Schmedderling [2006-12-06 21:25:18 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, well depending, they'll be lanky, so I think they'd probably be above average height for a transformer their size...
Eheh, and that's always a way to get over it, ego solves all. XD Although I do know a couple of people who make up for hight with voice volume, which can get annoying occasionally.

XD That would be hilarious if they weren't angry at me. So something like Ed from FMA then?

Ohhhh. o.o xD well mine has an ego problem. She's short, but more than makes up for her vertical challenge-ness with her huge ego.

But just don't ever TELL her she's short. She goes off like a firecracker... kinda like I'd done for Prowl in that unfinished Energon ficclet from back in the day...

Autobot-Windracer In reply to theguycalledwingus [2006-12-04 21:42:31 +0000 UTC]

Heh, well I based his size off of the heights they gave the Armada TF's in the PS2 game... XD Optimus was around 21 feet in non-super mode... I guessed that Scavenger, since he's bigger, is maybe in the mid/high 20's... And Raider is a few head-heights taller than that, somewhere in the low or mid 30's.

o0o well TF's aren't really that tall... Although if I was going by G1 Standards, G1 Prime is like 31 feet or so... 'cause of that, Raid's original height was like 46 feet... o.o

Well, Railgun is one of the big guys, clocking in at around seventy. XD; Enough to go toe-to-toe with some of the gestalts and act as a transport.

Ahhhh... o.o so he's like a borderline Gigantian native, eh? XD

Raider may be small, but he has an insane amount of power. He's been able to take down Quickmix, and hold his own against Metroplex for a (brief) period of time, as well as small gestalts... .o. but that situation's a good long story that I don't want to get into right now... xD

Autobot-Windracer In reply to theguycalledwingus [2006-12-04 23:30:29 +0000 UTC]

xDD thanks. And when I said "he may be small" I meant that relative to Railgun. .o. he's over DOUBLE his mom's height and even Scavenger has to look up to make optic contact with the lugnut. xD;

The only downside is that he keeps walking into random doorframes. o.o And keep in mind he is still a walking disaster......

Titanicon? WERD. :B can't wait to see that!

LOL! YES.

Railgun walks in to bar, sits down next to the Raider. Both have anime bumps on their head with little bandaids.

Raider: *head resting on counter* "Ohhh, my aching head... T.T;"
Railgun: *looks over* "Yeesh, what the frag happened to you?"
Raider: ..."I have issues with doorframes. >.>;"
-Cutscene with Raider laying flat on his back in a doorway all @.@;-
Railgun: "That's nothing. I have issues with entire buildings. e.e;" *pointing out the window to a half-leveled city. Raider's just staring blankly*

Or something to that effect. I are sucky with teh comics. D:

Wha...? Are you saying he's Wheeljack and Windracer's son? I didn't know that one before. I always thought he and Windy were friends or a brother and sister. o.0 Such average-sized (dunno about Windy?) TFs had a son this huge... 0.o

This newest form would look with wings, though he's perfect already. Hmm... what do you think about these wings?: [link]

Hey, if you'd want to know what I think Windy, Raider, Feralbrawn, Wheeljack, Evac, Scourge and Wing Saber (and my own character, Delta Silver) would look like as humans, here you go:
Wheeljack: [link]
Windracer: [link]
Raider: [link] [link] [link] and [link] (the character's name is actually Daidalos...)
Feralbrawn: [link]
Evac: [link]
Scourge: [link]
Wing Saber: [link]

LOL, yeah, they are. Either "biological" through a few fanfics and RP's, or adoptively, through other fanfics and whatnot... But to be honest, that thinner bishonen Raider is the way he was supposed to look, "naturally".

Raider's size discrepancy is more of an accident than anything. He was puttering around in Red Alert's medbay and came across a cube of Super Energon (that blue stuff that we all know so well from TF: Energon), and he drank it, not knowing its properties. Since it was a small doseage, it didin't turn him planet-sized like Galvatron (who swam in a POOL of the stuff...), but multiplied his size and strength considerably...

The only issue I see with wings, is the fact that he'd probably be WAY too heavy for flight or even gliding. His wings would have to be positively enormous to compensate for the extra tonnage. XD
