Description Edit (6/1/2013) Updated the art.

Yup I made Transformers OC. Help me ;D He was made alongside ~FatesDesigns 's Quickshot.

Height chart compared to the other TFs in the show: [link]

This is Contrail, or connie as I call him but he hates that.

He's an Autobot specialized in Engineering, specifically on the battlefield. He builds weapons and works on technology, especially groundbridge technology. He has a bridge control in his left forearm, and can make groundbridges appear at will. He'll use it in a pinch to send enemies far far away.

His weapons are both guns like most bots - and his right arm can also be a short knife. He prefers to fight with weapons he's made though, rather than his actual limbs.

His vehicle mode is a Tupolev Tu-160, a Russian supersonic sweep-wing strategic bomber. Sweep wing meaning in vehicle mode the wings can be in two different positions, same in his robot mode as shown. (I imagine him having a Russian accent because that's where he landed and where he learned his first earth language XD)

It is the LARGEST combat or supersonic aircraft ever built, so Contrail is on a much larger scale than say, an autobot that transforms into a car. He's huge - he absolutely towers over most other bots or cons.
That also makes him a bigger target :I which is why he loves playing with groundbriges.

Personality wise, he can be a bit grim as a result of being tangled up in the war effort for so long, but if you make him comfortable he can actually be quite a nice guy. He's kind and often feels the need to defend his comrades, being the bigger bot. He'll get himself into trouble that way. He also hesitates to kill unless necessary - he's not usualy on the front line, so he doesn't have to deal with this too often. Normally he'll just DETER an enemy, or send it away with a groundbridge.
He IS a competent fighter though, look at his insignia.

EDIT: Remembered he has four intakes on his engines and fixed that. Also shaded on him a bit more, I felt like it.

His tail fins are on his back, between his wings and engines. You just can't see them from this angle XD

Edit 2: More info on him here:

His Original design is by ~FatesDesigns and lines on his fullbody shot were done by her.
The image of the Tu-160 is from wikipedia. [link] I'm lazy.
Coloring and the rest of the art + personality (C) =Kai-ni

I applaud you for creating such an awesome design.

I barely make my characters look like they transform into anything, which is shamefuuuuuul but I keep doing it. *headdesk*

It's good to actually start with the alt-mode when you design one c: I chose the Tupolev before I started working on the character's personality even. I was just like MM YES VARIABLE SWEEP-WING BOMBER JET. I will make a transformer out of that *point*

What? WHY? it's a digimon or something, right? Contrail was a character made from scratch, (from an aircraft) I'm not even sure what you're asking but the answer is no.

I haven't even drawn him yet, rly D: I need to ~ But I have so many robits on my list of things to draw... it takes me a while to learn a single character v_v

It drives him crazy because for one it's another type of plane that he is not, and two it sounds girly

I do the same thing, because I suck. Hell, I always remember everyone else's characters before I know mine all the way through.

Lololol Connie~ It sounds so pretty.

Krovennan-Darksabre [2013-02-06 21:27:42 +0000 UTC]

its nice to see someone's made an OC with some actual thought towards it actually turning into something (thats depressingly rare).

Contrail looks to be an interesting Bot in aesthetic and bio, though I do have to wonder where the tailfin for the jet mode is coming from,maybe I'm just blind but I can't see anything that it would likely be.

Still, nice bot, too bad hes on the wrong side...

Kai-ni In reply to Krovennan-Darksabre [2013-02-06 23:42:41 +0000 UTC]

Yea, it is XD I'm glad you like him c:

The tail fins are on his back between his wings and jet engines. They're just shorter so you can't see them. I need to draw a back view, haha

no he's on the right side shhh

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Krovennan-Darksabre In reply to Kai-ni [2013-02-19 01:33:26 +0000 UTC]

Back view would help immensely in visualising this guy, I'd like to see if the tailfin is incorporated into something or if it just kinda hangs off the back (leaning back on anything would be a pain in the arse if it was).

And Quaketread would disagree about right and wrong sides, so I now have to edit the Nemesis' databanks before he loads up on Flak shells and goes Contrail hunting.

Kai-ni In reply to Krovennan-Darksabre [2013-02-19 01:57:28 +0000 UTC]

They're situated on his back much like Starscream's. On either side of his engines.

Careful, Contrail isn't easily tracked or captured lD
