Transformers G1 - Fan Art - Predator - Skydive
Function: Scientific Advisor
Note - The name Skydive we know as the Autobot, Aerialbot. I'm sure it was given to this toy/character probably most likely because Hasbro needed to keep the rights to the name and keep it in circulation to use again. If I'm wrong, please correct me if I am.

Hello and welcome to the next project of mine. It is the counter-part characters to the Turbomasters being the evil Decepticon Predators.
I love the Decepticon Predators and wanted to do a fan The Ark book / Sunbow cel animation style character model sheet for the character Skydive.
Skydive can transform into a Northrop YF-23 - Stealth Fighter Aircraft and into a robot and back again!
Skydive is described as "Revels in the science of battle. Cold, calculating and entirely cruel. Not even understood or trusted by his fellow Predators."
The Predators can fire green missiles from their hand-held missile launchers. Their main power and gimmick is called the Megavisor that can be utilized in their alt modes with a scope that gives the Predators Supersight ability. The gimmick is hidden inside each Predator's body structure which I will design further into the future.

I added a Decepticon insignia on his chest/cockpit which the original toy did not have just to give more original design elements. I also left out the red sticks that go on his shoulders as I thought it takes away from his details from there and like the look better without them. The aircraft mode was the especially the most challenging to draw as the toy has amazing and excellent detailing and stayed true to it while giving him a cartoon aesthetics.

It is still in WIP mode and may tweak it in the future but for now I wanted to share it with you all and liked to know what you think!
