Description In my Transformers fan graphic novel concept "Forever and a Day" the Constructicons are knocking around an organic planet orbiting Alpha Centauri, Earth's nearest stellar neighbor. This is a work in progress, obviously; their combined form resembles their current rocky environment, think the rock monster from Galaxy Quest

For their designs I kind of went crazy with them. Top left is Scavenger, top right is Hook (he's their medic, so he needed an especially kooky design). Bottom row from left to right is Mixmaster, Scrapper (the leader of the group, I made him vaguely Optimus Prime-like) and Long Haul. The missing member of the group is Bonecrusher, whom Optimus pwned in the 2007 movie. Methinks there's some revenge to be had there...

The Constructions are an odd bunch, one of the "combiner" teams from the cartoon. Other continuities and fanfiction have toyed with the concept of gestalts and gestalt bonds to explain how these teams function when combined into one huge robot. I have an idea for this too, and it plays a rather large role in this story

More concept art can be found here, [link]

I'm working on a finished version of these guys, they'll probably each get their own post

now this looks very cool, but just to be fair, Optimus musta wanted some revenge against Bone Crusher, because in the novel prequel to the first movie (Ghosts Of Yesterday) Optimus took quite a beating from Bone Crusher

Thanks! I have read that prequel in a while actually, and honestly continuity is so shaky with the various Transformers universes I personally choose to mostly disregard it and do my own thing based on the official material. All the movie materials (novels, comics, the movies themselves) contradict each other quite a bit anyway if you look at them all together. Pretty frustrating if you actually care about sticking to canon, so I just don't. When I have time to work on this story again though, I'll do some more thinking about everyone's motivations

Lol it's in the works! I'm just super super busy with real life right now (work's kicking my butt, and I'm moving in a few weeks) so I don't know when I can get to designing him, but I will! Hopefully it'll be worth the wait
