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 Pathfinder, I wanted to make her more slender and feminine. I also altered the alt mode to be a more aerodynamic shape and her head to be more faithful to the original toy and cartoon character. Finally, I felt the wings on her back instead of her upper arms would function better.

Well, I prefered the old Pathfinder actually, but the alternate mode of this one is cool too. But I generally don't like the idea of Pathfinder being a girl, so maybe that's it. My dislike of the female concept in the character aside, this one is okay

Hands down she was my favorite in the series. I think I even had a toy of her at one point but that was years ago.
Best done interpretation I've seen in a long while. Good job with her and the rest in this series of designs.
