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.This guy i like cos he has that sheriff/cowboy look which i was going for and it suits him. He deviates quite a bit from the original but still has the alternate mode and the same colour scheme, so he is pretty cool as a re-imagining, imo. His Power-Cuffs (yes, deliberately corny, gotta retain that 80's vibe!) stun the enemy like any other character's weapon that has '
ower' as a prefix. This to me gives the Guardian Gobots a common theme which was important to make them seem of the same faction. Another example are the three stripes on his chest and hat, common amongst many of the Guardians. Comments welcome!Challenge of the Gobots, character name, © Hasbro

GREAT work! yet, not everyone is a child of the 80's and remembers what the Go-Bots looked like; what if there were images of the original GBs next to your 'updated' images? (just a thought)

I generally like the design (the belly makes it a tad too anime-like though... at this point he seems half-human), it's original and personally Hans-Cuff design in the cartoon sucked IMO
The vehicle mode looks awesome, even though it's simple.
Overall a nice new look for a so-so character, at least a "so-so" in my opinion.

The design is very fun and unique. I like how you really tried to make him like a true Cop. The spurs on his boots are also a fun Western tough and the dark visor and hat really add character. Lastly, I like how his symbol is on his chest like a true police badge. However, I would change the brown coloring because Hans-Cuff has none in his alt mode and his armor in robot mode looks a bit too much like clothes and his symbol is covered a little. Other than that, the design idea is very good.
