I have to say--you've come up with more new names for TF's than Hasbro has in the past four years. You really should submit some of those ideas to them, it could help freshen up the toys a little more. Probably the most recent new name they've given a character is Boulder in the Transformers: Rescue Bots series.

Good call on the updates Chris, nice to see you added the Anibots.
By the way, I have some ideas for the Diaclone Tower, so if you ever get to do it and want to brainstorm, just let me know

And as for their 'city' in the middle east....I was thinking that a portion of it could be housed on a man made atoll, maybe in the shape of the Autobot symbol, like those coastal developments in Dubai.

TF-The-Lost-Seasons In reply to F-for-feasant-design [2011-11-19 15:17:24 +0000 UTC]
That sounds like a really nice idea. Each section of the symbol could be a separate island, they could be regularly set in the symbol shape, but could move and adopt different configurations depending on the bots' needs.

F-for-feasant-design In reply to TF-The-Lost-Seasons [2011-11-19 18:18:05 +0000 UTC]
I'm thinking that what with his building mode having a 'chevron' footprint he could sit in the 'crest' of the symbol. Other islands would be like my other Citybots...the 'nose' could be the landing strip, etc.

TF-The-Lost-Seasons In reply to F-for-feasant-design [2011-11-20 06:38:49 +0000 UTC]
Great ideas for the crest and nose. I wonder which autobots would be stationed here, the other bases we've talked about have what I'd call natural options; the diaclones for Japan, Marvel UK and European exclusives for Europe (I'd put our Wreckers there), and the south american variants for Base Estrela.

If we stick with Kharbombia=Libya, then I guess it's position in the southern Mediterranean could mean that the Euro-TFs hang about there. Would fit with recent events too.

TF-The-Lost-Seasons In reply to F-for-feasant-design [2011-11-20 18:11:30 +0000 UTC]
Then we can put the Wreckers there, at least in the LS version, Broadside is part of the group, so with his aircraft carrier mode he'd fit nicely with the island base.

Now you mention it, there's a couple of marine alt modes in my OC Jumpstarters, who are 'attached' to the Wreckers, so they would fit in too. Some of my OC Cassette-bots are temporarily assigned to the Wreckers too...the more violent ones that is..Ambush thee Leopard, Killswitch the Baboon, Knuckleduster the Gorilla, Rivermouth the Nile croc, Steelclamp the Hippo, Thundertusk the warthog and Wildeblast the wildebeest. The idea that Blaster's minions are all African animals kind of fits in with the base's position off the north of the continent.
Don't you love it when things just work out like that?

TF-The-Lost-Seasons In reply to F-for-feasant-design [2011-11-22 14:00:16 +0000 UTC]
More jumpstarters would fit nicely with the Wreckers since Topspin and Twintwist are already part of the team.

Congratulations on reading that far down!!!
I think Diaclone Tower will sit in a huge open plaza/square. There'll be other smaller Autobot buildings surrounding it, kind of Cybertronian style 'pagodas'. It will have a space in front of the main tower for Metroplex to sit (Thank God I can just merge him across rather than vaving to build him again!!). The tower itself will be mostly glass and angular, with sections at different heights. The very top section of the tower may be an actual Citybot, I'm not sure. I have an idea that he could be called Shogun and the spire of the tower could be some kind of sword. None of this is certain though......I look forward to hearing your ideas.

well the Ark supposedly crashed into a 'Mount St. Hilary' in a range of volcanic mountains known as 'The Cascades', somewhere in the state of Washington. I guess its logical that the Autobots would build their city nearby, so I guess it's somewhere on the Pacific Coast in the northern states of the USA. Wouldn't want to point it out on a map though!!

CHeers for the kind words.....I think this has made me want to shy away from actual transformers for a bit. I'll do some more pages like this for other locations- The newly fortified Dinobot Island, A Decepticon base based around the submerged Nemesis, Some Cybertronian areas, and some Autobot and Decepticon ships as well. It was quite liberating working on some of these outbuildings not havig to think 'How will this transform?, Where will the legs go?'
And as for Delta Sentinel, I imagine him to by slightly reformatted, rocket and tankwise too. Obviously there are no 5 storey high tanks here on Earth, but He wouldn't be so Cybertronian in appearance.
