Description
Okay, so I guess 'Cons *are* rather fun to draw. >_>Some busts of major power players in this universe.
Megatron (Morgan Trayton)
Starscream (Stane Schyler)
Soundwave
Barricade (Less Terminator, mehopes. Barrin Caidel)
Blackout.
Frenzy (Fraye Zigmund), Ravag and half-done 'Con Parrot.
And Shockwave. I think i might have gone a little overboard with him, but that's probly the design roughs.
Ehehehehehe.

... Megs almost looks... calm.
And not sinister... ?
Very disconcerting.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh indeed. Morgan Trayton, as this human version is called, is not quite the Megs you make him out to be. Sure he has his moments of grandiose evil, but for most part, he's just an extremely bitter, somewhat melancholy man who has a huge chip on his shoulder from a past wrong done to him by his country's military heads.
He's not sinister. I never made him so. I intended to make him extremely human for most part. Case in point;
- He was once a dutiful, happy-to-serve UN PEACEKEEPER.
- Who was also one of the only friends a quiet, shy but intelligent Owen Pryce (Optimus Prime) had in camp.
- And was in love with Elisa Walden (Elita One).
- All three were close friends.
- What turned him to darkness was when during a coup, his entire group of men, Owen included radioed for help, but got none and were left to die because aid could not get to where they were. Everyone save three people out of the platoon died. Being a father to his men sort, his rage was expected. Unfortunately he channeled it to all the wrong places and started killing off generals one by one, even those who had no choice or say in the matter and in the end, Owen was forced to acknowledge that he had gone too far. And put a stop to him. Unfortunately, Morgan, like the original Megs is a very charismatic ma. He has followers. Owen has followers as well. And then shit starts to hit the fans.
As such, he isn't pure evil.He does have his moments of calm when he isn't thinking of revenge or evil. He's actually pretty torn about Owen, feeling that Owen had betrayed him, but at the same time the old fire of their friendship refuses to die without a fight.

Oh, I didn't mean disconcerting as in towards the direction you chose to take!
I mean disconcerting because that's pretty much how me and my sis think of him already! XD
Although, we tend to think of the duo as literal brothers, rather than just brothers in arms...

*Snickers* Oy vey....whiny bitches...that's one sorta man I tend to keep very, very far away from, but to each their own, hun.
He's all yours. *Watches you glomp as she straps him down*
π: 0 β©: 1
I normally don't like whiney bitches, either, but THIS whiney bitch...well...he's just made of win!!! XD Of course, I blame ~aerynsivahn for my Starscream obsession. She's a Screamer fangirl who introduced me to Armada Starscream, which made me squee at the unexpected adorableness (OMG, him with those Minicons, CUTE!!!) of the whole thing, and thus got me obsessed with the little traitorous idiot. XD And yeah, you just make him HAWT HAWT HAWT! XDDD
SQUEEEE! *POUNCEGLOMPS! blinks...and...GASPU! when she straps him down??? SQUEELS!* SCREAMERBONDAGE!!! Let's see how loudly we can get him to screech in that annoying, adorable voice of his...>XDDD *takes off his shoes and grabs a tickle feather!!!* SQUEE! XDDDD

Oh I'm glad you got around to doing these guys 
Well it's a long-winded version of 'I love it!' but then that's what I do XD Awesome job, Oni!

*Bows*
I don't know; working with them on a more human level, it's hard to keep drawing brutes and pretty boys as an exception. *sheepish grin* They weren't born evil, or perfect for that matter.
I'm glad you like Barricade. At any rate, he represents partly, the dark side that comes with having authorative power and abusing it to his own means.
I thank you.

Can't help it))) I love bad boys))))

Lemme see. Morgan, for some odd reason, looks even more refined and younger than Prime. O.o But he looks damn sexy, as one would expect. Maybe a touch too... dunno... Kinda like somebody who haven't really had to work for anything while he was young...? Err, I think I got lost in English here. After seeing the 'Origins', I cannot let go of the image of 'miner Megs'. In the story we do, Megs' alter-ego is from Ukraine and he was indeed a miner from his childhood. But yours is just so royal, really smexy. ^^ And Magneto, huh? ^^ We actually mix up their names sometimes - Megs / Mags... It's gonna be a delight to see him interact with others. Very good concept.
Starscream, waaahh, he looks so aristocratic and spoiled! XDDD And long hair, yeah! Lol, awesome. *waits for Jetfire* They and Mirage SO went to the same university. XD
Dear Goddess, 'Cade looks mighty fine. Finally an image, where he's not a delicate bishonen with long flowing hair, but a typical 'bad cop'. The cig really is a nice touch.
And Frenzy is such the cutest little troublemaker ever...! XDDD I'm almost tempted to call dibs, and make up a Con OC, too. XD The image is totally fitting.
Blackout is surprising, but a total hottie. oo The tattoos really add to him. Niiiice.
Soundwave - yeah.
And I dunno, Shocky totally reminds me on Mordon from Harry Potter. XD I second autobotvierge's opinion about him - it's funny, I've always seen him in G1 as very cool, very calm and... well, you've seen the pic of him and Megs in my gallery. XD Though, they say that in the Japanese dub, they made him sound exactly like this - rough and short-tempered. It probably doesn't help either, that I grew up on the Marvel!Verse, where Shocky was pretty much the very picture of the emotionless calm. But, these are just sketches... ^^ We'll see.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmmm.....evidently I'll need to either age Morgs up or roughen him a bit more, then. *ponders* In this 'Verse, he used to be in a army/peacekeeping faction with Owen when they were younger, but left after his and Owen's teams were left for dead and he lost an arm. I'll have to try keep that royalty-type look intact somehow though.
Starscream will be Starscream, oh yes. X3. And to speak of Mirage, this 'Verse has them being partners in crime at one point of time. Bussiness partners that is. *chuckles*
'Cade, and long-haired delicate bishounen simply don't go together. *grins* That man does the dirty, shadowy work, and he knows it well. And loves it.
I'm glad you like Frenzy and Blackout as well. As for Soundwave, ack. There's always room for improvement in him; I simply haven't nailed him down yet. >_< *shakes fist at self*
Shockwave..yea...he's a bit of a limbo to me. I need to try and balance calm and ruthelessly mad at the same time. I'll have to tone down that Mad-Eye Moody appearance of his later on, methinks.
Thanks!

Maybe if it is possible, you could give Shocks an eye implant, which will flash up or turn red/yellow depending on his emotions. And remember, it doesn't matter how calm and smooth one looks, when he has a maniacal laughter. That's the best combo - you won't expect him to be a nutcase, until he shows you his true face!

*Ponders* I could work with that....yes I could. I'll give it a go.

They all look great! And I like Laserbeak as a parrot

*Bows* Laserbeak will not appreciate that jibe, but it would be funny seeing him as one, eh?

I don't think he'll like it (plus he hates crackers

This is too awesome.I was wondering when you were getting around to these guys.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, but even villains should have the spotlight, eh?
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree; that has to be one of the best human versions of Megatron! Usually, it seems that people make him into a younger, pretty boy-type way too often. Here, you've kept not just his (more defined) facial structure, but have also given him facial hair which (to me at least) helps reinforce his adult age.
I also like how you did Shockwave; there don't seem to be many transhuman versions of HIM, and none that I know of where he has only one eye. : D I can imagine your take on him speaking in the G1 Shockwave voice perfectly - this fits him brilliantly.
And damn; Schyler is gorgeous 'w'
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! Eheh.....Pretty Boy Megs just doesn't strike me really.
*Grins*
I'm glad you like Shockwave as well, though I feel as though i've made him too mad for his own good. *laughs* I'll have to tone him down a bit for later editions probably.
π: 0 β©: 0
I have to agree with Vierge about Megatron here. You nailed the facial structure, matched to his robot one. Starscream is that pretty-boy arrogant without question. Interesting approach with Barricade in that 'hard working flatfoot' look with a smattering of sinister. There's a real decepticon for you. The rest are pretty spot on in my purview, but Soundwave--I'd think he'd have shaded glasses--he keeps his secrets too well to allow anyone access to the most potent of truth tellers. I'd say the mask should go over the nose, but then, how would he be able to breath...
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you. I didn't realize that, honestly, taking more cue from 'Gargoyles' MacBeth instead. As for Barricade, yeah, he's very much evil hidden behind a face of good, and it serves well to further the 'Con cause.
Hmmm...I'd take your advice on Soundwave. As for the mask, it probably can, at least by Mortal Kombat standards. *Tries out*
Thank you.

Megatron never looked this handsome
π: 0 β©: 1
Megs got GQ workin' on his side too, I guess. Evil never looked this good?
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh my- I think you just drew the best Transhuman Megatron I have ever seen! The transition from his mech face to human face is so accurate that you could look at Morgan and be completely convinced that this is Megatron.
Your Transhuman Starscream is also looking pretty good! Definitely the "Pretty Boy Seeker," as I like to think of him.
Soundwave has a pretty eerie look about him, but that certainly hasn't deterred me from having a teeny-tiny crush on him - and on Starscream, for that matter.
*sheepish smile before hiding underneath the bed*
Your Barricade though... Wow! That is one evil cop I wouldn't mind looking at...though I'd certainly run in the opposite direction if he ever came after me.
Your concept for Blackout is fantastic as well. The tattoos on his face, and the tied-back dreadlocks are all very well-suited to him.
Frenzy actually looks pretty cool, like someone you might enjoy dancing with at a club. Ravage looks excellent, and as for the 'Con parrot... Is that Laserbeak or Buzzsaw? And why a parrot?
*is curious*
Shockwave... Well, I always envisioned Shockwave as being very cool and calm, and calculated, almost like Prowl in that respect, only he's colder and more ruthless. Do you see him more as a crazy-type person?
π: 0 β©: 1
While Starscream's your usual youngpunk with his head far too high into the clouds than it should be. XDXD Mortal enemy of Jetfire and Mirage both.
*Pulls you gently out from under bed* Soundwave has his own charm, albeit dark as it is. X3. Glad ya like him. I'll have to improve though. Something about his design still seems a little generic to me.
As for Barricade, hahaha. He'll have large chunks of spotlight on himself, yes. He's the red tape for Morgan; the one with arrest warrants, political power and a slew of like-minded cops on his side. Not to mention he and Prowl happen to be working in the same district, with him having a higher ranking than our lovable Datsun. *chuckles* It'll make for interesting showdowns and twists, hopefully.
I'm glad you like Blackout. I remember taking inspiration from somewhere, though I can't quite recall; it had him with dreadlocks too. which were a fine idea on its own to portray those blades hanging off his back.
Frenzy, as a spy for soundwave, I guess it serves him well to blend in with the local populace/party scene? besides, it's easier getting information from the drunk, the high and the flirty.
I believe that was meant to be a rough Laserbeak, though I'm just making fun of the poor buzzard calling him that. It'll be fun to have a parrot on the team to go with the customary falcon though. *snickers*
As for Shockwave, I'm really not too sure. Looking back at the G1 episodes, he didn't always sound like he had his marbles constantly in the right places somehow. And his mad devoutness to Megatron at that point of time. let's just say something about him freaked me out a little. XDXD That, plus his absolute ruthlessness and power. Just Ouch. But yeah, I'll need to tone him down a bit. I meant for him to have *some* of his marbles missing, not *all*.
Thanks for taking the time.

I completely agree with you on your ideas regarding villains. They are not only more sympathetic, but more deadly, because if they truly believe in what they're fighting for, then they can just as easily convince others that they're right, too. And with someone as charismatic as Morgan (because Megatron was certainly charismatic), convincing people to join his side would be a cakewalk.
I can see why he and Mirage/Merrick would be mortal enemies. Do they move in the came uber-wealthy circles? I wouldn't be surprised if they did. And as for Jetfire... Maybe Starscream was a scientist once upon a time and him and Jetfire used to rub elbows? Or did Jetfire work for Starscream at some point in time?
I have a very soft spot for Soundwave, really. Just how soft, you'll find out when I get one of the planned pieces up.
So Barricade is actually Prowl's superior officer in the police force?! Oh dear... And talk about dirty cops! As for the twists...are you kidding? The confrontations between those two will be spectacular!
Blackout looks extraordinarily cool. And the dreads do rather mimic the chopper blades hanging off his back.
I like the idea of Frenzy as being Soundwave's spy at all the hip clubs. He could be the sort of guy who brings in all the recreational drugs at raves and such so he can get information from those who are high and from those who are drunk (or those he's seduced; I wouldnt't put that past him).
The idea of there being a parrot along with a falcon just cracks me up. Maybe one of them is a falcon, and the other one is more a vulture? That'd be interesting.
I always took Shockwave to be purest logic - even purer than Prowl. Prowl's logic is somewhat tempered by his own morals and ideals, by the fact that he has a heart. As for Shockwave...heart? What heart? He must've lost his a long time ago.
And I was more than happy to check these out. I've always loved your Transhumans.
*grins*
