Description Maybe with this I get my art juices to flow again. Just wanted to do something and less stressing so I decided to finish old character design from August 2012. Changed some details around his helmet and torso and made him look a bit better.


Air Brake.

He is huge, he is slow and he likes silence. Except when he's in the middle of a heated battle. Nothing beats a good fight but since those are so rare for him, he taught himself long ago to take punches and hits without taking much damage from opponents he didn't deem worth the effort of fighting back. When a worthy opponent comes, he is one not to hold back his strength and firepower and makes it very clear to everyone around him. The smaller Cons tends to tease Air Brake to test his nerves, in most cases failing at it as the giant doesn't pay attention to such things. One of his defeats was in the gladiator pits ages ago when Megatron beat him to the ground despite their size differences. He survived thanks to his thick armor, or so the doctors said who patched him up only for him to want to fight Megatron again. But that was too late as the civil war started and Air Brake joined the Decepticons to find other worthy opponents from both sides.


I forgot what I picked for his alt-mode '-'; Some propel plane of sorts I can tell but other than that, no clue. He does like his Cybertronian alt mode so he only picked the "useful" parts of the scanned aircraft to barely fit among other Earth models. His Con logo is at the backside of both wings, thus not visible in the image

edit: It bothered me enough to actually try and search through my references to find the name of the alt and here it is: De Havilland Canada DHC-8-402Q Dash 8


Yup yup.

Ohgeeheissupertallwowee-
He's got a really pretty design, and when I was browsing through your gallery this guy was actually the first to really catch me eye aha X'D
All your characters have such beautiful designs and when I first saw Air Brake I'm like oH IS HE A C-130 HERCULES but then you said a de Havilland in the comments and I'm just like yESSS
I'm sorry I'm super huge airplane fanatic eheh, but golly gee I really like this guy, he's pretty nifty! ;D

pika In reply to Star-Of-Africa [2016-07-18 10:20:03 +0000 UTC]

Ohhoo, thanks you very muchos. I surely had fun designing him after the De Havilland even if he's not 100% it thanks to him keeping his useful parts of his cybertronian alt-mode attached! Like he has this turbine/rocket engine on his back!

Now that  I think of it, that c-130 Hercules looks pretty darn nice as well, perhaps I'll use it for my next flier. And it's perfectly fine for you to be a super huge airplane fanatic. I don't mind at all although I don't know about them so much~

Hi air break um I have a question for you are you um gay? And are looking for a soul mate or no?

The giant mech turned around to see who was talking to him. "No, I am not. I don't have any reasons for such mood." His expression grew even more grim. "There's no room for happiness nor joy, and definitely no room for mates. There's a war going out there!" Air Brake swung his arm in air once. "People are dying and you ask such a question! I don't know if I should toss you out of here or leave myself and go drink away my anger..." He let a hiss out of his ventilation conduits and turned his back to you. "I shall do the latter... I retired as a warrior. You're in luck today." And he left.

If Midnight is quiet and doesn't bother him, Air Brake might let him stay near him.
