Well acvording to the OC creator, Causeway is Elita One herself.. she just reformatted..
π: 0 β©: 2
Uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh, yeah. I know the creator of that character, she has a crush on Prime. She even claimed to have married him in the past. She's not the first to "replace" Elita One with a "self-insertion" OC as his lover either. I definitely prefer Prime with Elita Oneβthe real Elita One. Not a replacement OC.Β

Actually , she did not intend to replace Elita.. Elita didnt make appearance in TFP, so she did it in the form of elita who is badly injured and need to be reformatted and wiped her memory clean by ratchet and become Causeway... later on in the story , people will know that this is Elita One... Causeway was merely a shell.. thts what she told me...

Yeah. She could have just as easily made a TFP Elita One design, and call it such instead of creating a "whole new character and name". Besides, according the The Covenant of Primus Elita One does exist in the "Aligned" universe; she was a member of the high council to boot.There are simply no designs of her for that universe. Yours is certainly very true to Elita One, which is why I like it. "Causeway" is not, and definitely reeks of "self-insertion replacement" to me. I simply prefer canon couples.

Sir, Let me step into this.
According to her and her ideas - maybe. Surely not according to any canon-related stories. This story creation is mostly based (as I am assuming) on an idea of getting around the canon couple. Maybe not deleting the more-or-less canon character - yet try to rationalise "Why a canon character (who has a canon love-interest) is with someone's Original Character"?
Also, the right decision would be keeping in mind the original creation story, told in Causeway's bio (last updated in 2013) when she was just a surrogate daughter to Ratchet, since she was a sparkling/hatchling. No word about being Elita One.

Well, i talk to her in person.. she said , this is Elita One.. She got infected with Cybonic Plague and reformatted snd wiped her memory clean by Ratchet , who later in the story found herself again that she is Elita One..

Sir, pardon my French, but please answer one question. If I'd say that OC X is in reality rebuilt/ reborn Canon Character, would you also believe me so easily?
Secondly, I see you are trying to work with a Canon-related themes- making a Canon Character that was acknowledged in this continuity (her name was mentioned in Convenant, if my memory doesn't play tricks on me), relating her to canon story of TFP (by wonderful remake of opening) to fulfil a gap left by screenwritersΒ forgetting about her. But as much as she wishes to, Causeway is not a canon character, a canon story, but just an OC - the very same as many others out there on dA (I believe you would be able to find many more Original Characters claiming to be either Canon Character or with Canon Character, eventually being related to them).
I will repeat this once again- making this trick of "my Original Character is in fact the memory-wiped Canon one" is a way to get around fact that there is Canon Character, who has a canon love interest that intrude the love story of "my Original Character and Canon Character". As I am going to assume the conclusion will be "you might be Elita, but I loved you and I'll love you as Causeway" (this part you can also incorporate as a bit of prediction and answer to what you wrote to Tramp).
And again- her original bio last updated in 2013 had no word about being Elita One.
Also please keep in mind what Tramp said in post below.
Yours faithfully
BSJD6.

Im Sorry if i offended you or anything.. i understand perfectly of what youre trying to say.. Causeway is an OC, not official, except if hasbro approved her design, which theyre not by the way... this story of causeway being elita is just a fanfic.. of course its not real.. i just trying to be supportive of her thats all..

McClaren F1, eh?
Mind if I use this specific rig in a round robin fanfic set? I'll post the link.

Alright, let's begin~

1. Blue arrows:
Wheels differ from wheels in alt-mode.
2. Green arrows:
Parts looks very thin and long and can easily break.
3. Pink arrows:
These parts remind lego constructor and I would advise to change them.
4. White arrows:
Legs could be more refined and elegant. They are more like a human legs.
5. Yellow arrows:
These parts can be more difficult. I would advise to add some details.
6. Orange arrows:
The same problem as in second item.
Materials and textures looks very good. Construction and bot-mode design looks incorrect. Car is perfect. She need little more realistic in design. I can't imagine how she transform. I don't like how guys from studio made animation of transformation because sometimes in shots it looks like porridge. In image file I added examples from art-book. Maybe they will be usefull. Also design have in small percent the same details with Arcee. It's not very original.
All designs starts from 2D concepts. Without this step works can have many problems.
Your next model with Causeway have the smaller problematic moments in design than Elita-1.

thanks for the critique..
but how can the wheels be different ? they're the same.. they used to be different back Β then but i changed it..
about the leg, i actually had a dilemma... when i made her leg look robotic and "technically correct", her silhouette looks ugly.. when the leg is like the one that you see, it looks ok, and the silhouette work.. any suggestion ?
you actually right about the transformation.. to be honest, Β i didn't plan that she can transform, i thought she can be just robot, not transform into a car... the car is actually belongs to my friend and he allowed me to use it,,
the transformation rig was done in 2 days and rushing.., because i want to make the opening of Transformers Prime, and i did.. in the movie she didn't ave much of a trouble transforming, maybe because it was quick...
but that being said, i might try to remake these Elita One to fit the design... using my own design, not someone elses.. because these Elita's design is not mine.. it is combination from various DA artist..
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, if wheels correct then on picture both designs have different sizes and in bot-mode they still little wider.
Go to paper. Start with doodles like this one -Β fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201β¦ You will find your best variant after several sketches. I like to draw them in old manga studio 4 with symmetry function.Β
Well, anyway, you did great work and also I would like to suggest you this course -Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAwzlGβ¦ If you didn't see it yet. On cgpersia.com you may download it for free.Β
If you want I can help you as advisor with your new version of design. You can make it more cool and I know it

Wow impressive, I really love her alt mode a lot. It reminds me of all the fun video game cars of the 90s in the arcades. Your friend did a great job creating it. I love the air vents on the front it and the one on top is neat too. The detail placed into the rims is really a nice touch. The paint job also has an incredible mount of style to it, the texutre on the side is interesting. It looks cracked and aged which I find curious, is there a reason as to why it's aged like that?
π: 0 β©: 1
no reason actually.. i just following TFP.. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I see well thank you for your answer.
π: 0 β©: 0
both models look fantastic and really fit in with the look and style of Transformers Prime. That said though, I can't see how THAT car could possibly form THAT bot. Β There's just too much of the car missing from the bot mode. Β As a toy designer I would HATE to have to make that design work
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah.. well, i cheat a lot when i transform her... but i mean, even Arcee's motorcycle is too small for her size.. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
that's very true.. based on the size of her alt mode she should only be about a head or two taller than Jack.. not like 8' tall
ALL of them on TFP mass-shift.. annoys the hell out of me.. :/
π: 0 β©: 1
the good thing is they transform really fast... less than 1 second.. so in my version of TFP opening, i also made her transform less than 1 second, and it looks okay.. at lesat ok to me..

have you seen this project over on TFW2005?

Me thinks you would fit in quite well with that project
