Description

Route the executioner
Transformers: Cybertronian
Vehicle Mode: Steam Locomotive
Role: Antagonist
Summery:
She is one of the 4 remaining ancient government executioners placed in the Earth colony to hunt down (insert evil/ enemy factions). The executioners although are not as utilized as much as they used to be, are still highly respected, feared, hated, and completely ostracized from society. Much is unknown about Route herself, no one has ever heard her speak. All the civilians and natives just know when they hear the distinct rattle of plates on a steam engine from afar, to stay out of the way. For it is often one of the last sounds many Cybertronians hear before they extinguish.
Inspirations: How ancient executioners (in Roman and Medieval times) were feared, highly respected but also ostracized from society b/c of superstitions and stigmas related to anything associated with death.
Video game executioners: are usually portrayed as big imposing characters. I want her to also have a big imposing body type.
Steam locomotives are super cool partly because their shape is dictated by their function because their engine is on the outside (they are a giant boiler on a trailer with a valve system as their wheels). Anyways she transforms into a steam engine because they are cool and because bells have been used in the past to communicate someone’s death (funeral bells). I thought the concept of the bell being replaced by a train horn would be neat for this character.
For her design: Middle ages armor combined with Victorian technology.

She is still a rough concept.
