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 Stalker.
Stalker can transform into a Four Tracked Armoured Satelitte Station and Rocket Launcher and into a robot and back again!
Stalker is described as "A truly wisted mind that's capable of the purest evil. The master of the double bluff".
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.
Stalker is the only land-based vehicle of the Predator team. Stalker's alternate mode, white rocket launcher has a special feature (which I slightly redesigned with designing a dual hatch door that can open up to reveal the original black hatch door that can open up that allows the special toy feature. The 4 of the jet Predators can attach to it with their Megavisors to give them both more Supersight capabilities which is a unique cool feature for the actual toy.
This design give me a different type of challenge since he is the unique one out of the Predators and the amount of detail on him was enjoyable to translate into a character model sheet. I opted to have it mounted around his right back side (which is not possible on the toy made it my own idea and thought it looked a position, instead of it sticking out too largely on where you could originally mount it on his toy which was on his right shoulder which didn't think would be appealing for my version but he can still mount it that way if he chooses to do so. I also added a extra Decepticon insignia on his alt mode on top of the roof of his cockpit which I liked the look of. All in all I had heaps fun to get to work on his design!
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!

Wow, these bots are truly wicked bots! That's a big missile for him to carry! Plus he's got a few smaller ones as well! They really love bright colors, don''t they?

Excellent work JP. I like how you've illustrated the other side the vehicle mode separately.

Thank you so kindly Nav, for the feedback and fav! Yep I love adding those parts and also because it wouldn't of felt right to not see his missile launcher and see the rest of the Predators in their alt modes.

Stalker! Love this character, and the toy (even though being basically a brick) is immensely fun to fiddle around with and admire for its colors and the sheer amount of detailing - which you replicated very faithfully.
