Description
I have decided to redesign my Gobots Animated works. The reason for this is I wasn't entirely happy with the originals because I felt they didn't really capture the Transformers Animated look, especially compared to my new Rock Lords works. The main aims were to simplify and stylise, with the shading methods and linework being more akin to Transformers Animated. Back then when I did the originals it should be noted I was pretty new to colouring with Photoshop so hopefully these are better. Also the character sheet itself has been simplified, so no headshot or floating weapons, and I think it looks more impressive and less cluttered as a result. Please fullview and comments are welcome!Here is the original for comparison:

This is my last redesign. Next i'm gonna do more Gobots Animated works of original characters, so plenty to get on with! For Hornet, I wanted to make him more animalistic and primeval. I imagine him to be Cykill's pet/bodyguard so I had that in mind. I also wanted to tweak the alt mode because I didn't feel the first attempt evoked a gunship. I was isnpired by the Republic Gunship from Star Wars Clone Wars.

Hornet looks great, just like his previous incantation, though the previous alternate mode I liked better. On the other hand, the robot mode seems cooler in this case, so it's a draw
But anyway with this character both times you did an awesome job.
