Description

Finally got an Armada design down for Multitracker, and I gotta say I'm pretty pleased! Keep in mind that in the Background that I've spanned out the timeline a little, since Armada has a lot of events happening one after another without much of a pause.

Backstory:

Multitracker was brought into the Autobots by Optimus Prime, and has been part of the faction for a very long time. Through the years they grew very close to Optimus and came to see him as a close friend. They wree always comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and secrets with him, trusting him greatly, and they were always willing to offer him the same support.

They arrived to earth together with Optimus Prime and his team, acting mostly as a scout and a transporter of goods and weaponry. They quickly fell in love with the Earth and it's nature, as well as the music the humans produced. They also grew close to the kids who eventually joined the Autobots, and spent a lot of time goofing around with them, giving them joy rides, and partying to music. While on earth they also found their long lost friend; Anklebiter, a mini-con they had partnered up with previously on Cybertron.

With a new planet, new friends, and re-found partner, things were pretty great on Earth, even with the many encounters and battles with the Decepticons. But as Starscream joined the Autobots things got complicated. The two started off somewhat alright, Multitracker at least trying to make Starscream feel welcomed into the group, and their kindness eventually paid off. The two grew closer and closer, even making Jetfire joke about feeling a little bit jealous because Multitracker sky-raced more with Starscream than with him.

Together, the bullet train and fighter jet made a good team as Starscream grew more accustomed to his new team. Multitracker also grew close to Starscream's mini-cons, especially Rubywing , who the two often invited to hang out or fly with them. With time, friendship grew into curiosity, and curiosity grew into romance. The two were not very open about it, and very awkward too for a long time, but everyone eventually found out what was going on between Multitracker and Starscream. Some protested against it, still not trusting Starscream that well, while others were neutral, or even happy for them. Alexis was the most supportive out of the group, as she was close to Starscream, and happy to see him enjoying his time with Multitracker. The Bullet train even managed to make him laugh and loosen up at several occasions, but it was a rare sight to see, as Starscream's pride made him act tough in public.

But all things comes to an end, and so did Starscream's stay. Thrust, the military strategist of Megatron's team, manipulated and coaxed Starscream to return to the Decepticons, promising him that by following him he'd be able to strike down Megatron once and for all. Even with everything he had gained among the Autobots, the temptation was too strong, and the fighter jet betrayed his new team, and joined Thrust back to the Decepticon base.

For a long time Multitracker was in denial, telling themselves it was only a ploy, that Starscream was planning something to bring down the Decepticons, and that he'd return to the Autobots when he was done, but it never happened...

They met several times on the battlefield, just like they had done before, but this time they avoided shooting at each other. Megatron mocked Starscream for not aiming at his "Autobot scum of a mate" to show he was truly loyal to the Decepticons again, but not even the taunting could bring the jet to harm Multitracker, instead it only made him more enraged with the Decepticon leader.

Some times, in secret, the two would meet again, hidden, far away from any Autobot or Decepticon activity, it was the only way they could be close with each other again. It was bittersweet.

When the battle shifted to Cybertron, their secret meetings ceased, and Multitracker could only see Starscream when they were crossing paths while battling each other, as well as the looming threat of Unicron. The two were only able to share another tender moment before Starscream's death.

His death shattered Multitracker's heart, and they never truly recovered from the loss. Once again, they were in denial, but this time they had a thread of hope as they sensed that Starscream's Spark was not truly extinguished. Taking his wing blade left behind where he fell, they left Cybertron after Unicron's defeat, and began searching trough cosmos for Starscream and Rubywing, hoping one day they could be reunited...

Personality:
• Playful
• Protective
• Stubborn
• Follows their heart
• Courageous

Abilities:
• Speed
Multitracker can reach very high speeds, their terrain rarely affects them as they use magnetism and hovers as they move around.

• Magnetism
With their magnetic power they can lift and attract metallic objects (including other Transformers). This power also allows them to levitate.

• Coil, tail slam, swipe
They can use their tail to coil  around something to hold it in place, and to slam or swipe at things.

• Lasers
Standard Transformer attack. They can shoot lasers from the orb in their chest, but it's not very powerful.

• Power high-jack
Using their tail they can connect to electrical devises and drain their energy to fuel up their own.

Powerlinx capability:
With Optimus Prime: Forms Battle Train Convoy, a heavy duty train with a large cannon on its roof.
With Anklebiter: Activates Dimensional Warp, allowing Multitracker to teleport themselves, others, and objects.
With Starscream: Forms Galaxy Cruiser, a large spaceship able to travel at incredible speeds.

Likes:
• Their team
• The nature on earth, especially the sea
• Music
• Starscream and Rubywing
• Gemstones
• Racing
• Goofing around

Theme song:
"Setting Fires"

Misc:
• They’re autistic.
• Their tail is also used to hook up to carts they use to transport goods with.
• Using the rock Starscream had retrieved from Mars, the kids made sure Multitracker got a piece of it too, especially since they knew they really like gemstones.
• Out of character information: They are the only Multitracker design who is of the same size as a regular 500 Series Shinkansen.

Locomotives aren't made up by carts, now are they? The usage of "train" is just because it rolls better when you say it!

Even so, shouldn't it be longer like Railspike from RiD? This looks like the front was chopped off. Not meant as a complaint.

I know what you mean but I like it much more this way. Multitracker here is the very front of the train without any seating areas (like a normal 500). If you look at their G1 and Bayverse counterparts they have a full locomotive (save for no door or windows in Bayverse)



And their Bloodline and Prime counterparts are pretty much the same but can connect to carts

What a coincidence-- my oc likes races and gemstones, too! 

This is a really cool ref. I might just use this for inspiration when I touch up my oc's designs, if that's okay.

Great, thanks! It's not every day I see Unicron Trilogy designs, so that'll really help with mine. I get inspired a lot by OCs as it is.

Gosh thank you! I have only drawn in the Armada style once before, so I didn't think it would go as well as it did with this one. Thank you so very much, I'm glad you like it!

Np! You gotta do more Armada often! I rarely see the style drawn at all!
