Bumblebee - Blog Posts
Well, this was a big piece of work, hah
I took a break from RW and decided to draw something nostalgic
Actually I've been stuck with this idea for two years now and I'm glad I finally found the strength to do something about it. Thanks for inspiration from one good man)
Long story short
In this AU autobots and deceptions are two unions of different tribes: mudwings, seawings and sandwings for the firsts and icewings, nightwings, rainwings and Pantala tribes for seconds. Skywings doesn’t exist anymore (because we need someone who takes place of predacons).
People are just people or scavenger if you prefer. And instead of whole cosmos it’s just two mainlands.
- Optimus Prime - I kinda like tfp Optimus. So formidable, powerful and mysterious but really gentle at the same time. And mud/sea combo works here in the best way. As the representation of two main tribes union and strong father/brother figure for team members.
I also think he might be an animus (but don’t use his magic often, especially for killing someone)
- Ultra Magnus - Pure Icewing already will be great for him, but I gave him part of seawing so he could be more like an Optimus. But instead of being softer and warmer, Magnus is more cold and pragmatic version of him. A character who sees other dragons not as close allies and friends but as ordinary soldiers.
- Ratchet - Yeah, the seawing would fit him better, but i just don’t know how to make the colors work here sooo… he’s a weak-fire mudwing. Like a skywing, but mudwing. Why not. Make sense with his lack of guns in origin. I think he’s design can be better, and maybe I’ll remake it.
I love his arc of recognizing people as equals and especially his interactions with Raphael. I think Ratchet often read him scrolls about history and magical artifacts.
- Bulkhead - No surprises here - mudwing fit him perfectly. I think that the Wreckers could been a big and strong mudwing troops, and Bulkhead was a bigwings in such a one. He is lost a lot of his siblings during the war, and therefore tries with all his might to protect the new members of his family. I absolutely adore his relationship with Miko and Jackie, so for me he’s one of the cutest character, and I tried to make his forms round and soft.
- Bumblebee - I know that majority draw him as a hivewing, but in that case the most logical for him will be a night/sandwing. Literally, autobots get their own Sunny)
I think in this version with his lack of a voice he could communicate using sign language or some variation of aquatic.
- Arcee - Also nothing special - she is a seawing. I originally wanted to give her a helmet but it was too hard to draw. Just like Sunny she was born pretty small and now even younger dragons can be bigger than her. I’m pretty sure she is old enough to have seen Bumblebee when he was a dragonet, so she's literally like an older sister to him.
Actually she really gives me a Queen Glory vibes with her sarcasm and dangerous beauty, so rainwing might fit her as well.
- Smokescreen - I used to think he was just a cringe, but now I realize he's a pretty interesting and realistic character. Like Ultra Magnus, I wanted to make him look like Optimus, only this time Smoke is more of a younger and much more irresponsible version of him. I think in this version (being part rainwing) he's trying to mimic Optimus's coloring using same red, blue and pale-gray shades.
- Wheeljack - The scruffy boy! I think in this version he could be Bulkhead's "adopted sibling", so they are really close to each other. And, because he spent most of his life with Bulkhead, it's harder for him to get close to other tribes and dragons.
Painting scales to keep canonical colors is kinda cheating, but for this dude it totally works. He should have a pretty bright appearance with all those scars and bright spots.
Cliffjumper - Ohoh… this poor guy. I didn't even think of putting him here, but I like his smug face too much. Even making his scales darker than the original, it's still too brightly colored for mudwing. He probably jokes about it a lot, saying that his ancestors were skywings.
I really like his dynamic with Arcee, and it's a shame we haven't seen much of their relationship. I think I need to do something cute about that.
I finally got around to finishing it!
Here’s MLP versions of Transformers’ Bumblebee as a changeling and a zebra.
These drawings are primarily based on the G1 version of Bumblebee, although I did take a little inspiration from some of the other versions of him. I’ve been wanting to draw MLP/changeling versions of some of the Transformers characters after rereading the MLP/Transformers crossover comics, Friendship in Disguise. In particular due to Queen Chrysalis’s attempt to summon changelings from other worlds is what resulted in the Transformers originally going to the MLP, and when beings come through the human/Equestria Girls world portals they become MLP creatures. So I thought it would be fun to apply that portal/transformation magic to the Transformers. Overall it was fun coming up with MLP designs for the Transformers, I’ll probably do more whenever I get more ideas.
Here’s the Transformers: Animated (2007) version of Bumblebee as a changeling and as a zebra.
I had a lot of fun coming up with MLP designs for Bumblebee. I may do more variants of him, most likely I’ll do the G1 version of him, and possibly TF one and TF Prime versions too, as it was fun messing around with his changeling design and stripe patterns.
Here are some drawings of Bumblebee as a changeling I drew. I drew the G1 version, Transformers Animated version, Transformers Prime version, and Transformers One version of him. While I was working on coming up with a MLP/changeling design for Transformers’ Bumblebee, I ended up drawing these while I was looking at different iterations of Bumblebee. I’ve got some rough ideas on what I’ll do with his changeling design, and I plan to at least finish up with the TFA version of him, and maybe the G1 version to go along with the MLP/Transformers crossover comic. Note: I haven’t come up with any complete designs, future MLP/changeling drawings of Bumblebee I draw may deviate from these designs.
Doodling I see :)
some quick warm-ups and doodles!
I’m going to get through my art block one way or another. I swears it.
enjoy~
