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.Turbo was really simple; just an update of the original, same colours, look, even transformation! Gave him extending fists cos i imagine him to be more of a brawler than a user of ranged weapons. My favourite part is the head, i think he has that gruff old warrior look who doesn't take fools, inspired i guess by the original Transformer Ironhide and TFA Ratchet. C&C welcome as always!

his head reminds me of an Ape/Gorilla for some reason...

I'll admit i never liked the gobot original designs very much, they stuck too close to their first batch of toys, unlike Transformers - and Turbo's clownish face in the cartoon was always weird to me, specially because the toy wasn't like that.
I'm not all that familiar with Transformers Animated, but based on machines i would have thought of Rodimus for Turbo, as the only actual car-bot i remember in the series, Starscream for Leader One, and probably Prowl for Cy-kill - but your idea of going with Animated's Hatchet for inspiration is quite good and striking a redesign, not to mention Crasher and Cy-kill kick ass the way you made them. Good work.
