Description
So here's a bigger version of my new avatar!
Made the actual drawing pretty quick but the animation has taken almost an hour! Hope you guys'll like it and still be able to recognize my avatar. LOLAnyways the reason the avatar features Beast Machines Tankor is because he's my absolute favourite transformer character ever!
I love everything from the design (especially the tread feet) to the character and personality! My dream is for him to get a Generations figure or at least get into another series. I hope and pray DJW will draw him some day too.I don't really know why it goes so slow. Guess I had too many keyframes.

This is really cool! The shiny face contrasts nicely with the dark background to give Tankor a sense of malevolence, and the animation is awesome!
I like Tankor's design too, and a Generations remake would be epic. Perhaps if not a new mold, Hasbro could make a Tankor out of Generations Warpath or a heavily, heavily retooled ROTF Megatron...

Thanks, I'm glad that got across to you.
While I'd prefer him having his own mold, Warpath wouldn't be the worse thing to be repainted from (though he would be missing a lot of mass).

Yeah, Warpath has the firepower the tank mode and more than a fair amount of BEEF, but he's not quite as bulky as Tankor. Still, I guess he sorta pulls off the tread-feet, although he does it in a different way...
ROTF Megs has the tread-feet, the mass and the head sticking out of his tank mode, but all the jagged parts would need to be straight, and the Bayformer aesthetic would need to be completely changed.
The Vehicons really need to be looked at for Generations- they brought so many cool ideas to Transformers! I wouldn't mind a Batpod-esque Thrust, or a Jetstorm made from TFP Soundwave...

Ah, Soundwave would make such a cool repaint/ retool of Jetstorm! Soundwave can adapt to having that sort of "hover tail" mode. Plus Soundwave's arms are even similar (actually everything minus the head is similar to Jetstorm, even down to the fact that you can make the cockpit act like a face).

I sometimes have Soundwave enter "hover tail" mode to check on Starscream...XD
Soundwave would make an excellent Jetstorm- let's hope Hasbro sees the resemblance as well!

I never really liked Beast Machines (I liked only Jetstorm character), but I like this animation of Tankor. Very well done and smooth.

Thanks!
BM will always have a special place in my heart. I liked it for many reasons, but I especially liked the character designs (well maybe not the Maximals so much, but Silverbolt and Botanica were cool). Just wish that they'd bring some of the Vehicons into modern fiction. It was nice seeing Jetstorm (though different) in TFA.

Thanks, I'd say I did okay. If I go back to it though, I definitely need to adjust it to go faster.

You can move those keyframes closer together and make it move faster.

THe thing is I have the KFs set to 0 seconds. lol Probably should have moved the "eye" 2 spaces instead of one at each frame.
Thanks for the fave too Shiro! Also can't wait to see what you upload from Botcon pics ad the haul.
