Description
TF-MTMTE style profile for Buckshot, One time Gunner of the SS Zodiak, now a giant, mechanical Kyudo archer, because crazy shit like this happens all the time in the TF-verse!!Logic dictates that I build/render/post them in the correct order, so next up will be Wyrmhole the Dragon. (Hopefully before the actual year of the Dragon rolls around!!)

Interesting. It doesn't show what martial art he studied though. And archers can be more dangerous up close than many people realize if they've practiced in such. Not only using the tips of their arrowheads as daggers, but also using their bow as either a pole weapon or a dual blade weapon, depending on if blades have been built into the edge of the bow.
Still though, overall, a nice design.^^

This is just too cool. I like the design and the color scheme.

Wow, only you could make a rabbit look cool as an alt-mode. Well done dude!

Another clever idea for a theme group. Quite daring, though... a bit Saint Seiya like

WOW awesome mech !! Buckshot would be perfect if he were teamed up with Drift - he's got the perfect "samurai archer" vibe with these loong hip guards/robes and the black helmet figurating samurai hairstyle. Love him already
And kudos for his rabbit mode - I used to think this animal as an alt-mode was irremediably ridiculized by Beast Wars Neo's Stampy, but you redeem it completely 
Wonder how you'll do with the rooster... or worse, the snake

I'm not to happy with the rabbit mode, but I suppose better artists than me have failed to make a rabbit threatening!!
My sketch for Steelspur the rooster is actually my favourite of all the ones I've done. hopefully the model will be just as good. It took my a while to get my head round a snake transformer, but I think I can just about manage it by making him a Cobra.

Was you aiming for threatening with the rabbit (ears not with standing) I think if the head is look upwards a little more with a mouth open, as if it hiss a challenge and showing its teeth (like rabbits do when being agressive) might just add that extra 10% threatening. (also on a side note, i like the greem and very fitting, but it pyschological "safe" colour probably not helping)

Yeah, I toyed with a 'Watership Down' style fighting rabbit, all bulging eyes and baring teeth, but I didn't think it would suggest the noble warrior vibe I was aiming for. As for the green colours, they are a nod to Robin Hood and Green Arrow.

LOL agree with you there - rabbit counts among animals who just don't have "threatening" in their essence.
That being said, if I saw a giant, green, mechanical rabbit coming for me in great bounces that trigger mini-earthquakes, no matter how I love actual rabbits, I'd start running - FAST !!
Waiting to see those - not only do snakes have a long body, it has to be highly flexible too. Quite a challenge - especially if you don't adhere to "subspace" canon

Hmmm... Rabbit, huh? I thought it was a mouse at first. Maybe elongate and thin the ears out, some?

Holy $%*!!
This one looks really amazing, love how you managed to give him that look in robot mode, I'd have give him (if possible) longer ears in beast mode though.

clearly you haven't heard of volcano rabbits.

Longer ears in rabbit mode means longer feet in robot mode!!

but yeah still AMAZING work as always.

Maybe they could have some estension mechanism? sort of how many hands are hiden inside the forearms of robots when they go alt mode.
