I needed a break, so I made something for myself. Whee! I also kinda just wanted to make an endomorphic female bot.
Despite Earth being mostly covered in water, there aren't a lot of boat Transformers. I get that it's hard to keep in the action if you're useless on land though, so how about an amphibious vehicle? Something that can run on land and in the water both? After trawling Google a while, I found this really awesome (and cute) land-sea concept design. I also did not copy it exactly to her, this is just an idea she is modeled after. Maybe I will try to draw a more original version of the vehicle later.
Maybe she's based in someplace like Hawaii, Japan, or the Bahamas, somewhere amphibious mode would be super useful.

So far still just a concept, but maybe sometime. It was good to hear from you.

Sorry for being so quiet for so long, I've had stuff just sitting in my inbox for MONTHS. @_@ I feel so bad, people probably think I'm ignoring them but I'm just intimidated by the hugenormous pile of stuff. :c

god what a cutie.
I LOVE the bow-like effect of her wheels and the tropical color scheme - she's so perfect.

I've said it before, I know, but it really bares repeating.
She's wonderful.
Just...every element of this design works. The use of a real-life vehicle as its basis, the way you combine bulk with elegance in her pose and build, the delightful amount of personality just glowing out of her body language and expression, the serene and wonderful mix of colors you use for her palette...it's wonderful, and it manages to evoke the very best principles of TF character design while still having its own particular personality and distinctive sensibility. She's wonderful too, as a character; even without a full profile or anything you can just feel her personality here, and it is delightful. I really hope she joins your stable of recurring OC's, because I would sincerely love to see more of her soon. ^3^

I WAS SO EXCITED TO FIND THAT CAR. As we haven't played anything yet I still have only the faintest of ideas who she is. Cheerful and kindly, probably maternal and eager, but specifics won't come into focus until I really see her in action. Someday!

Now I just want to see more and more love for amphibious Transformers. They'd probably be a little more peaceful since they can basically wait in reserve at sea, keeping a lookout. I smell fantastic spinoff fiction for this...

Yeah actually, the one aquatic bot I'm familiar with from the old show was actually kinda anti-violence if I recall. xD

Nice looking. She could partner with Seaspray or Broadside. Good to see a femmebot who isn't something of a copy of Arcee or Aelita-One too. I have to ask if she's an Autobot or a Decepticon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Too bad Seaspray blew up as soon as he was mentioned in TFP. xD Poor guy.
I'm not sure yet. Leaning towards Auto, but I haven't planned her personality or backstory yet, so...could go either way til I get that figured out!

Meh, no corpus, no delecti. Its fairly easy to eject in an escape pod, or even just float in space for a bit amongst the wreckage. But I get where you're coming from.
Good luck on crafting her personality.

She's adorable, and I love her color scheme! Aesthetic and capable, a winning combination!
