Description
"Need a blast? CALL A TAXI!"---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoi! So did I promised this earlier? I do had various stuff for C.A.B. in my head, came up with a bunch of detailed sketches in various styles, and so on... also tried him in a Transformers Animated Style.... and I can't help it.. but I loved what I saw and so I gave it another try and came up with this design for him, some parts might be really really small in comparison to his body, but anyways, I do think that's something acceptable
HECK! and do I love his Sneaker-like feet? YEAH I do XD.. thanks to the freaks who hang out with me, and give me such ideas.
So what to tell about him exactly.. hmm.. C.A.B. is the short form of "something" nobody really knows except him, officially it has meanings like "Critical Armed Bot" or something similar.. but yeah, as said, it's kinda secret, mainly everybody calls him Cabby anyhow... His job? ... enough description if I say, "weapons" and "bomb that away" ?
The Taxi light actually builds the shape of his cap like helmet and yeah, he is kinda like such a character were you never going to see the eyes XD Basic shape of his ALT mode is supposed to look similar to a Ford Victoria Crown, the "standard" Yellow Cab
... Yey, and don't ask me where his giant blaster cannon goes when he transforms... the secret mystery of a Taxi's trunk...
Transformers Animated (c) Hasbro & CN

taxis are like clown cars. You can fit ANYTHING in there.

I seriously think they need to hire you, the Transformers guys, Hasbro? To design some TFs for them, because all of your designs are amazing. I would buy them if they were toys. :3

They should've made one. That would have been such a win. Even more of a win if he had a heavy Bronx accent. That would make me die happy in my pants.
Yeah, much better than a discolored jet, or Bulkhead's alt mode.

I like the design of this guy, I think a Taxi is a pretty cool idea, noone has used it

And you don't ever want to go poking around in a taxi's trunk! xD And what's the thing he has in his mouth? A giant TF sized toothpick? xD

X3 he seems shorter in this than in your other sketches .3.

Lizkay In reply to talaren-chan [2008-02-21 22:09:06 +0000 UTC]
Oh.. yes, but he got rather huge feet there XD *lol*
the sketches are more mixed up style drawings meanwhile this is heavily TFA adapted, so I made him a bit different here

der taxi-look is genial ! der transformer gefΓ€llt mir von allen die ich bisher gesehen hab am besten, vorallem dieser endsgeile taxi-look! also wirklich, damit hast du dich ΓΌbertroffen
waaah, und diese dicke wumme die der dabei hat...
im hintergrund mΓΌsst ne explosion zu sehen sein
und das ein paar stellen dΓΌnn sin stΓΆrt mich nicht...ich glaub der transformer wΓΌrde dann zu dick aussehen. wΓ€r dann kein taxi mehr, sondern ein panzer
so passt der perfekt, nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig... die pistole sieht aber meiner meinung nach "zu schlicht" aus, mΓΌsst irgendwie mehr sowas wie ne kleine handkanone sein
auf jeden fall ein geiles pic!

Danke! ^__^
Eigentlich kann ich ja Taxis nicht wirklich leiden, damit mein ich aber eher die "hiesigen" Taxis, so Γ‘ la creme farbige Mercedes.. So ein richtiges NYC yellow cab das hat schon was, mit den Schachbrett Streifen, da kann man sich Transformer technisch so richtig austoben
Sein Hand Pistolen-was auch immer-Teil ist wohl oder ΓΌbel mit absicht mikrig ausgefallen, aber ist auch leider von der Perspektive so direkt von oben etwas unvorteilhaft

Four.
Was it translated in german?

Lizkay In reply to DrFrankenstein90 [2008-01-24 06:57:22 +0000 UTC]
Yup, probably all french movies get a translation/dub into german (cause it's their biggest market after france)

DrFrankenstein90 In reply to Lizkay [2008-01-24 20:41:30 +0000 UTC]
That's cool, then. I still have to see the fourth one. Doesn't look too bad, although the first three seem kinda repetitive.
Damn, I'm addicted to the Transformers movie (the one from 2007). Should rent it again.

About the gun- that's so true. I can fit so much in those teeny cab trunks. It was amazing. We got 4 people, 2 celloes, and 2 violins and a couple of other backpacks and stuff in there. It's just like Ms. Frizzle's pocket from "Magic Schoolbus" Nice work on the design!
