Wow – this one gives me shivers. The whole relationship between Shockwave and his Longarm identity fascinates me.

Hello super old art, that I still can tolerate enough to not hide under my bed in shame.
:Y
This is wonderful art… I love how he’s in the midst of total destruction and loving it… The colors are wonderful and the expression just perf~
And that last post made me suddenly think:
Arms dealing in TFA is often held up as a special kind of evil. Isaac Sumdac flat-out refuses to have his firm manufacture weapons; the fact that Porter C. Powell wants to do so helps cement his status as the villain. The Autobots themselves also seem to…
It’s more than ‘almost’ a point of pride, if I’m interpreting Ratchet’s opinion in the Almanac correctly. And now I’m wondering if their reason for the rejection is related to the formation of the Decepticons’ predecessors – TFA uses the ‘Cons were warbuilds’ backstory, so the use of traditional weapons would probably be a bitter reminder of their betrayal. Ratchet seemed really averse to the idea of Autobots using weapons, and I reckon it’s a long-standing thing from right back when the Malignus (military, so weapons!) caste tried to overthrow the Guardians.
Interesting! I haven’t read the Allspark Almanac, but I did know about the ‘Cons being warbuilds, and that makes a lot of sense. Almost a racial divide; we’ll wage war if we have to, but traditional weapons are symbolic of Them.

Powell wants to do so helps cement his status as the villain. The Autobots themselves also seem to take this view. In “S.U.V. – Society of Ultimate Villainy”, they go for Swindle with a vengeance, despite the fact that they’ve never even met him before, just on the grounds that he’s an arms dealer who’s willing to do business with Megatron. And it clearly isn’t just a case of, “We have to prevent Megatron from getting his hands on this weapon” – it comes across as personal, bordering on vicious. Hell, at the end of the episode, it’s heavily implied that the ‘Bots are going to let the police rip Swindle apart while he’s alive and conscious. Most of the Autobots themselves seem to prefer modified construction or other civilian equipment to straight-up weaponry, almost as if it’s a point of pride.
And this was my thought: how much of this prejudice against weapons is actually an expression of their attitudes towards the Decepticons, who are living weapons?

‘Next old piece of crap’
Yeah, I’m still alive …but I’m not 100% sure.
Just added new nick and year of make on this. Yup, next inspiration from Overwatch. I made this pic after the premiere of The Last Bastion. I really adore a background in this animation.
And of course I drew ‘main’ fav character. Again. I have to much pic with him.
I’m glad of the look of spruces. I have to draw it more often, someday. But it happen, I’M SURE! Only this thing…
On one hand this pic horrible cuz’ I see many mistakes, from second hand I like this pic. Women logic.
I’ve been rewatching Transformers: Animated!
The writing of this comic is a bit silly, I know…
Honestly, I just wanted an excuse to draw Jazz. 😀
