Okay, so I guess 'Cons *are* rather fun to draw. >_>
Some busts of major power players in this universe.
Megatron (Morgan Trayton)
Starscream (Stane Schyler)
Soundwave
Barricade (Less Terminator, mehopes. Barrin Caidel)
Blackout.
Frenzy (Fraye Zigmund), Ravag and half-done 'Con Parrot.
And Shockwave. I think i might have gone a little overboard with him, but that's probly the design roughs.
Ehehehehehe.
Oh my- I think you just drew the best Transhuman Megatron I have ever seen! The transition from his mech face to human face is so accurate that you could look at Morgan and be completely convinced that this is Megatron.
Your Transhuman Starscream is also looking pretty good! Definitely the "Pretty Boy Seeker," as I like to think of him.
Soundwave has a pretty eerie look about him, but that certainly hasn't deterred me from having a teeny-tiny crush on him - and on Starscream, for that matter.
*sheepish smile before hiding underneath the bed*
Your Barricade though... Wow! That is one evil cop I wouldn't mind looking at...though I'd certainly run in the opposite direction if he ever came after me.
Your concept for Blackout is fantastic as well. The tattoos on his face, and the tied-back dreadlocks are all very well-suited to him.
Frenzy actually looks pretty cool, like someone you might enjoy dancing with at a club. Ravage looks excellent, and as for the 'Con parrot... Is that Laserbeak or Buzzsaw? And why a parrot?
*is curious*
Shockwave... Well, I always envisioned Shockwave as being very cool and calm, and calculated, almost like Prowl in that respect, only he's colder and more ruthless. Do you see him more as a crazy-type person?

I have to agree with Vierge about Megatron here. You nailed the facial structure, matched to his robot one. Starscream is that pretty-boy arrogant without question. Interesting approach with Barricade in that 'hard working flatfoot' look with a smattering of sinister. There's a real decepticon for you. The rest are pretty spot on in my purview, but Soundwave--I'd think he'd have shaded glasses--he keeps his secrets too well to allow anyone access to the most potent of truth tellers. I'd say the mask should go over the nose, but then, how would he be able to breath...

Never be afraid to be yourself. NeilxTieria(Gundam 00) is my kind of heroin(sorry Stephanie Meyer,but its true) "Life moves pretty fast.If you don't stop and take a look around once in a while,you could miss it"Ferris Bueller, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
I agree; that has to be one of the best human versions of Megatron! Usually, it seems that people make him into a younger, pretty boy-type way too often. Here, you've kept not just his (more defined) facial structure, but have also given him facial hair which (to me at least) helps reinforce his adult age.
I also like how you did Shockwave; there don't seem to be many transhuman versions of HIM, and none that I know of where he has only one eye. : D I can imagine your take on him speaking in the G1 Shockwave voice perfectly - this fits him brilliantly.
This is too awesome.I was wondering when you were getting around to these guys.

I'll take that as a compliment. Morgan's not as madhacked as the original Megatron was. The idea is that Villians who think they're doing the right thing are more dangerous that those who know plain well they're doing evil. He's a slightly more sympathetic character here, at any rate, with hints of Magneto thrown in.
While Starscream's your usual youngpunk with his head far too high into the clouds than it should be. XDXD Mortal enemy of Jetfire and Mirage both.
*Pulls you gently out from under bed* Soundwave has his own charm, albeit dark as it is. X3. Glad ya like him. I'll have to improve though. Something about his design still seems a little generic to me.
As for Barricade, hahaha. He'll have large chunks of spotlight on himself, yes. He's the red tape for Morgan; the one with arrest warrants, political power and a slew of like-minded cops on his side. Not to mention he and Prowl happen to be working in the same district, with him having a higher ranking than our lovable Datsun. *chuckles* It'll make for interesting showdowns and twists, hopefully.
I'm glad you like Blackout. I remember taking inspiration from somewhere, though I can't quite recall; it had him with dreadlocks too. which were a fine idea on its own to portray those blades hanging off his back.
Frenzy, as a spy for soundwave, I guess it serves him well to blend in with the local populace/party scene? besides, it's easier getting information from the drunk, the high and the flirty.
I believe that was meant to be a rough Laserbeak, though I'm just making fun of the poor buzzard calling him that. It'll be fun to have a parrot on the team to go with the customary falcon though. *snickers*
As for Shockwave, I'm really not too sure. Looking back at the G1 episodes, he didn't always sound like he had his marbles constantly in the right places somehow. And his mad devoutness to Megatron at that point of time. let's just say something about him freaked me out a little. XDXD That, plus his absolute ruthlessness and power. Just Ouch. But yeah, I'll need to tone him down a bit. I meant for him to have *some* of his marbles missing, not *all*.
Thanks for taking the time.
