Description This is a redesign of an original Gobots character in the style of Transformers Animated, to go with my other Gobots Animated works (the reduxes, not the first attempts). Please fullview and comment!

I found an image of a concept buggy called the KTM AX, which I used as a base, because I wanted Buggy Man to be futuristic, inspired by Animated Shockwave, hence the single eye. Then it was a case of giving him a weapon so I used one of his wheels to turn it into a rifle, similar to what I did with Staks. I kept the colour scheme similar to the original because i didn't see any need to change it and wanted to retain that relation. I imagined him to be a sniper, very agile and capable of sneak attacks.

I always liked Buggyman (btw, I believe it was written together), so I was hoping for this character to appear (now I wonder how would you make Baron von Joy ). And I think I saw the photos of that prototype
I really like both modes here, so excellent work

I've been waiting for this one and he doesn't disappoint Buggyman was the first transforming robot toy I ever owned
