Description I have decided to redesign my Gobots Animated works. The reason for this is I wasn't entirely happy with the originals because I felt they didn't really capture the Transformers Animated look, especially compared to my new Rock Lords works. The main aims were to simplify and stylise, with the shading methods and linework being more akin to Transformers Animated. Back then when I did the originals it should be noted I was pretty new to colouring with Photoshop so hopefully these are better. Also the character sheet itself has been simplified, so no headshot or floating weapons, and I think it looks more impressive and less cluttered as a result. Please fullview and comments are welcome!

Here is the original for comparison:

For Crasher, I wanted her to look more aggressive and dangerous. I wasn't very happy with the colours either and the alt mode in particular. The new alt mode was somewhat inspired by Transformers Animated Lockdown. I also wanted her to look like a punk for a bit of character, hence the mohawk!

Her face reminds me of the Joker from Batman, which fits since she can be just as psychotic.

I could imagine a repaint/retool of Lockdown made into this.

She looks pretty punkish and thuggish with that mowhawk. But I like how that looks!

Well, I personally prefered the previous Crasher (still a female ), both alternate and robot modes, but this one has a charm of its own. The mohawk is a bit out there, but with the personality, I suppose that look fits her... the only trouble is that original Crasher seemed more of a crazy type, while punks are just mean... a different kind of 'mad', if you know what I'm getting at.

Always nice to see Crasher fanart! You managed to make her more crazy than the original but now she lacks some of that badass character in the original. Overall a very good portrait of her personality though!
