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!For Staks I was inspired alot by Animated Ultra Magnus and Movie Optimus Prime (for the transformation). I wanted him to look imposing and authoritative, he could maybe be a commander for the Guardians? For his weapon, I figured he's called Staks so make a feature of his smoke-stacks, so I made them turn into his gun. For his head, the orginal was just the cab of the truck which I thought looked silly so I stuck with the idea of his face being (mostly) covered and was inspired by Animated Warpath and how he looks like he means business!

Why do I like this sort of design for an Optimus Prime more than I do his Age of Extinction Model?

Thanks I dunno maybe cos it's simpler? Sometimes less is more tho I don't think that Staks design would work in real life!

No, it's more that the vehicle mode is powerful and dynamic, which an Optimus needs to be.

Yeah, Staks' head was lame in the original (similar concept worked for Baron von Joy, but characters liek Zeemon,, Staks or Bug Bite had it tough with such heads), so I like what you've done with him... but in general your Staks is awesome! One of the coolest you made so far most definately, both in robot mode and vehicle one!
And the smoke-stack shotgun idea is nice
