Crasher redesign by GraphicBrat on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

It’s ranting time!!

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!)

Anyways…

Hope you like!
