Yes, it’s her, the only decent Gobot from the show or the toys. I made this because with the Transformer Movie on the way and everybody on DA loves of for Transformer art, I had to do something a little different.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I think the Gobots suck but I’ve always thought that the reason the Gobots cartoon never did well was because it was dumb down even for kiddy cartoon standards. Hanna Barbara was pumping out so much crap back them that they couldn’t focus on making a good cartoon if they wanted to. The character designs followed the cheap toy designs too closely. On the other hand, the Transformers just used the toys as a basic model and hype up the character for the TV show. Imagine the TFs as the way the toys were, with StarScream and the other jets having that nose cone on the back of their heads. And don’t even start with IronHide and Ratchet. Point is that the producers of the cartoon change them up to look more believable and just plain better.
No one ever did it for the Gobots, until now (meaning me.)
Like the Transformers uses of the Robotect mecha design with Skyfire/Jetfire, I use the Queadlunn-Rau; Zentraedi female Tactical Power Armor to help out the look. Like Arcee I wanted Crasher to look feminine but unlike Arcee and other female Autobots I wanted Crasher to look like a robot that turns into something.
I may try the other Gobots, like Cy-kill, Cop-Tur, Leader-1 and Scooter (Now there is a challenge!)
ronko: ah, i wanted to upload this one too, but figured it not to be explicit enough to go even for the sake of rule 63 alone. and i was the one who uploaded the mutilated arcee pic.
Krawczyk: Pincher and the other two bug guys were the only good ones. I loved their manic laughter in the movie.
The combination spaceship robot thing was hilariously bland. It didn't even have a transformation sequence! Just these lifepod things (They don't need to breathe, why would they need these?) that combine with the giant fighter plane. All his internals are exposed as well, as well as his face, in BOTH modes. lollerskates. So friggin' cheap. Can't remember his name. Stupid-ass google.
Dr. Go and Stretch were epic though. Gentleman bots before the whole gentleman meme started. Monocled robot ftw. Tophat robot ftw. Now if only they combined...

Huh... they did it in Japan, for a show called Machine Robo. Cy-kill's toy-twin was a good guy!
