Artist's Comments

Did I mention that I like Tracks? :) Did I mention that I love pitting him against Starscream?
He's practicing his own version of jet judo!!!
Oh, here's the rough pencil version: [link]

This pic is the longest I spent on any single piece of fanart ever, and I'm not done yet. still fiddling. I'm not sure what to do with his car form. I feel like there should be an in-between shot of him transforming, but I'm too lazy/tired to find it and draw and color again...agggh! Conversely, I'm thinking of erasing his car form and putting Skywarp in there, to preserve the trine formation as well as the composition. Keeping his car form there doesn't make much narrative sense either, since I removed the action lines from the original sketch. What do you think?

Thundercracker was originally supposed to be straffing Tracks until I realized he'd have to be aiming at Starscream as well...and I don't think TC's that stupid.

Critiques and suggestions welcome! Should he be firing the Tracks gun? I didn't know how to work it in anymore.

I'll get to it in a few...weeks. I just had to upload this pic because otherwise it will haunt me and I won;'t be able to work on anything else. Agh, cartoon robot crush!!!
Cheap and dirty lightning backgrounds heheh.

Wow, gorgeous! :) As to your questions...

Yeah, I think the car form should go. Much as I like the flying car thing (You could always draw a separate pic of it... ;) ), I'm not sure it works with this pic. Even though I saw the original drawing and knew what you were going for, it still threw me for a moment, trying to figure out what it was. Adding Skywarp in there would be a nice touch. And he could be shooting at TC because he is precisely that crazy. ;) Or stupid. Take your pick. ;)

Oh, and I haven't forgotten about Mosaic. Concert ate my brain the last couple of days. :p But it's over now! :D

Starscream looks a little blue to me, but I guess that's what happens when light reflects off of a mostly-silver guy. :)
:iconnightyicons:
Er, I mean, Skywarp could be shooting at Starscream, not TC. Duh. Skywarp would never shoot at TC. ;)

Um, apologies for the fangirling, but this deserves a lot of fangirling. I love your coloring and wow. I kinda liked having Track's alt-mode above (makes it kinda comic-bookish), but you're right, without the action lines it might throw someone off for a sec.

Great job!

yeah Starscream is tough to color. Too much white looks wierd to me, gray is deadening, and silver is super-reflective.
