Description
One of a series of redesigns I have done of the characters from the original 80’s Gobots TV show, in the style of Transformers Animated.Like Coptur, with Crasher i wanted to keep the characteristics very similar to the original cos it was so cool. The face is virtually identical and she has the EMP-like charges in her feet. The biggest change from the original is the alternate mode, cos i felt a big nasty looking armoured car would suit her personality better, and seems more appropriate for a character called Crasher! Also, her head is on a ball so it can rotate 360, to further up her craziness! As always, comments welcome!

The kibble on her back makes her look like she has long black hair and I kind of like that.
She makes me think of what Baroness from G. I. Joe would look like if she were a transforming robot and I also like that (even though Baroness is, unlike Crasher, calm and collected most of the time).

And here's Crasher... I wonder will you do Street Heat, Spoiler or Jeeper Creeper?
I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed... not with your work, mind you, but with the fact you followed the cartoon in this chase... maybe it's the Transformer fan speaking through me, but the idea of female robots isn't exactly to my liking and while I know Crasher was a girl in the TV series, I was displeased of that (frankly, most of the females in the show didn't seem to feet in the role, for their names if nothing else).
That aside I like it. The head kinda reminds me of Lockdown from the Transformers version and it's not exactly to my taste, but the overall effect is astounding, vehicle mode most specifically. It just freakin rocks
Good job.

I can see the batman influence and maybe just cars from some of those armored cars in some of those future racing games. her robot mode even looks a bit more domaneering with the armored plates, I would think that an additional weapon (blaster, maybe even an electro whip) wouldn't be out of place.

Thought you would, she definately looks more like a domatrix here, I also like how you made her head circular and eliminated the car like hood that she had as part of her head in the original Go-Bots.

I must say, this version of Crasher definitely brings out her insane and violent side. The spikes and layered metal look make her look really dangerous and intimidating. I like how you made her face like the original too with the snake like pupils. I like her alt mode better than the official one too. It's more suitable for Crasher. I agree that her weapon being her EMP feet shouldn't change either since it was a unique and destructive weapon as it was. I'm glad you didn't change that. Her neck though is a bit too slender and long though for her body type, but overall, the detail in Crasher's new look is most impressive.

thanks and once again right about the neck so thanks for the comments as always!

Crasher is supposed to be Blurr's cousin...at least she was in the Shattered Glass (good Decepticons, bad Autobots) universe. Wonder what she's do if she found out her cousin was cubed. Perhaps pat Shockwave on the back and congratulate him for the good job he did "crushing that hyperactive wimp." Or she'd get mad because he didn't call her over to watch.
