fr i have no clue how to draw silverbolt i've never done it before today and I hate him so this is as good as you're getting
I've been wanting to animate this meme for a while now I just haven't really thought of any good characters that fit. and then I got into transformers and I started off watching g1 so i was like "man im never going to have a character for CPR am I?" then i got to beast wars and rattrap. rattrap.
I was originally going to do Dinobot for Misery but then i was like "hold on now, dinobot isn't a little bitch though. you know who is?" I hate him so goddamn much
Some Beast Wars redesigns!! Annotations below :3
Edit: wow mobile quality is terrible, i hate you tumble
INFERNO
I went very heavy with the knight imagery, serving his rrroyalty!! Went with a mix between a trapjaw ant and turtle ant because I wanted a shield. He has dual flame-throwers on his back/shoulders connected to the ant-butt because might as well add another mix with the yellow crazy ant, that sprays acid (in this case flammable liquid) through it's rear!
Being grabbed by those extremely strong, extremely fast mandibles of the trapjaw ant before being blasted by a flamethrower to the face sounds like a wonderful time <3
RATTRAP
Rattrap I wanted it to feel like an Italian mobster, I think I went a little too on-the-nose but, I like it! He has a fedora-type helmet, with a lovely cigar alongside some hidden suspenders and I tried to make the rat head have a tie - on his wrists he has tools such as lockpicking devices, torch, other things ;)
In my continuity he's primarily infiltration and sabotage, with a heavy preference for explosives
RAMPAGE
Rampage was fun, I stuck heavily to his BW design but I wanted the mutant freak part of him to be more emphasised. So, the crab has teeth. And 6 legs? I gave him extra arms because it would be quite hard to grab things with those mega pincers, but also extra arms are cool as fuck. He also has spurs and leg-guns because, again, cool as fuck. I love how his biolights turned out!
I didn't want to spend time drawing massive guns but he does still have his rotating grenade launcher thing - it has all sorts: hellfire missiles, acid bombs, napalm grenades, and other nightmares <3
DEPTH CHARGE
Depth Charge was very fun also, I wanted his colouring to be extremely opposite to Rampage's so he has very muted cool tones while Rampage is blindingly bright. He has twin remora-shotgun things on his shoulders, and I wanted the manta to be more manta, less metallic. I enjoyed doing the gold highlights to add a bit of grandeur and elegance to him.
In my continuity his primary weapon is the Blades of Chaos from GoW :'))
