Description
First and foremost, I must state that I did not draw this guy. I found a small character sheet of his toy here www.yusha.net/dagwon/mechanic2… which I enlarged, cleaned up, then applied a photomanipulation technique to make it look like line art and then I applied a digital inking technique, before giving him some quick and dirty colours.His character is based on an obscure character created by Simon Furman, whose only appearance is in Furman's novel Alignment. If your not familiar with alignment, its a story that takes place between G2 and Beast Wars, and is definitely worth a read.
As for his design, he is based on Dag Shadow, a member of the Shadow Dagwon gestault team from Takara's Brave Command Dagwon series which is what replaced Transformers in Japan when the TF toy line ended. For more info see here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_Co…
MTMTE page template has been supplied by Autobot-Windracer and can be found here autobot-windracer.deviantart.c…
I've sort of turned these profile pages into a kind of series. Here's all the other characters I've worked on hellbat.deviantart.com/gallery…
* Note * This team was originally named the Shadowcons, but was changed to Feralcons at the request of another artist who already using the Shadowcon name for her team of Decepticon OC's.

In Dragon form, it references Getter Dragon's Shine Spark.

Maybe, a little. I'm not familiar with Getter Robo, just had to do a bit of research on Google.

You can find an SRW video showing all its moves.
Besides that, do you know of Dragon Plasma Burn? The move that Shadow Dragon does twice.

Thanks.
The main reason's just simply because I've got Shadow Dagwon in my TF collection as a Decepticon. Also, it gives a convenient appearance to a character who previously only exists in written form from one of my favourite TF stories.

Thanks mate. Credit for his design & colour scheme have to go to Takara though. I just did the digital inks, colouring and wrote up the character on this one.
