The MTMTE profile just says TANK I can't see the suspension. But it could be.

I'm just going from memory. I know it had thicker guns, but I always assumed that that was to make it more sturdy, toy wise. The MTMTE profiles for extremely vague, alt node wise, weren't they? Jazz and Sidswipe are just 'sports cars' when we all know that they're a Porsche and a Lamborghini. Anyway, shouldn't Jazz have been a RACE car instead?

Yes, very thick guns.
And yes, the designations are very inconsistent.

Thanks again. Quite a bit of thought went into this one.

Further notes:
-I dabbled with the idea of doing the city in the bronze colour that it was in the movie, but it didn't look quite right and metroplex and the other citybots stood out too much.
-I've mentioned that the citybots have micromasters permanently assigned to them, as If they were toys then they would come with little 'bots to make them more playable, I think Tom Hanks said it best in 'Big' when he said 'It's just a building, it just sits there' or words to that effect.
-The 'Iacon Precinct' I mention in Cellblock's blurb are some OCs of mine with Prowl's police markings.
-'Nelson Bay' and 'the Shin River' are a heads up to the directors of the Transformer movies, Nelson Shin ('80s Animated movie) and Michael Bay (tits and explosion movie) The surname Bay was too good an opportunity to miss.
-The Knights Temporal are another OC group of mine, warriors who are all trucks whose trailers merge with their cabs to form a larger version of themselves, not unlike Ultra Magnus.
-Balsters 'menagerie' are a load more OCs of mine, all with African animal robot modes, like Ramhorn and Steeljaw had.
-I went with the name 'Delta Sentinel' as it is a Greek character like Omega, but also references the city's location at the mouth of a river.
-Bandwidth is an OC of mine, basically a recoloured Blaster. All his cassettes have aquatic animal modes.
-Gasbag is another OC of mine, with a blimp alt mode. He could talk the hind legs off a Petro-donkey and the fact that the building is not connected to any another is not a mistake!
-The Spcebridge is left unfinished as it as a bit of an after though on behalf of Grapple and his team. the have realised that if the city had one on 2005/2006 the reinforcements would have arrived much sooner and the whole movie could have been avoided!
