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:

For Night Ranger, I kept him mostly the same as I was most happy with the original. I gave him less weapons as I felt that made him too threatening for a good guy, improved his head to look more like a police motorcyclist and changed his physique to be like Transformers Animated Prowl, which I think makes him more statuesque.

p.s. this is my 200th deviation! Quite an achievement I reckon
