Interestingly enough the concept of "dummy drivers" is in the movie! (we all saw Blackout's dummy pilot in the trailer) More homages to the G1 comics! :D

I think that's a fair representation of Tracks.

 

Joking aside, I wouldn't compare Prime to Washington. From what I recall, Washington gave funds to French slave owners that wanted to prevent the black Hatians from gaining independence. Cullen based his character off of The Duke. He had a Lincoln or Reagan philosophy in a sense. He believed in the freedom for all sentient beings and that "no sacrifice is too great in the service of freedom." I'd cast him as a Spartacus-esque man with a fire fighter physique.

First post! I've been lurking on a few TF forums and decided to delurk here. (I'm on too many forums already.)

 

I've been looking for a thread to contribute to and I'm not the greatest at drawing robots (a shame for an artist who loves Transformers) but this thread intrigued me so I whipped up a sketch.

 

 

I think the easy way to go would have been to give a human Optimus a helmet so I tried for a more creative solution. I kind of gave him a sort of commando look, with a beanie and scarf covering his mouth (wrapped around his neck for bulk), sunglasses, and a fancy, made-up headset. I emulated some of Prime's signature details--the smokestack, the rifle, the wheels on the G1 version (here, it's a canteen and a rope spool) and elements of his boots/feet.

 

Not sure when I'll actually finish this since my vacation officially ends tomorrow.

 

Any comments are appreciated. And I look forward to joining the fun on the rest of the forum.

Now that's just Prime! :tflaugh Looks good... keep up the work and try a color :)

YES! started this thread in hopes of seeing something like this... like they said, lets try color!

 

I think Prime would look like patton in some of the series but in others more like The Duke

 

YEah i retracted my pervious statment that kicks ass man

Well, one asked, and thus, one shall receive:

 

LOL - Jesus that's both sad and kinda cool at the same time Father Time.

I vote for 'sad'. But whatever rocks you socks.
