Apologies for the extended delay, peoples!

Been busy with drawing some art for a friend, and creating a pile of Street Fighter animations from sprite packs.  They've kept me occupied for the last 3 or 4 weeks - I haven't even touched a TF sprite in all that time - until today!  I decided to go back and rework some of the older Classics sprites that I've done.  Optimus, Magnus, Rodimus, Starscream, Skywarp and Megatron all needed some minor modifications done to them, so I reworked Prime and Magnus, then recoloured and modified Magnus into Nemesis Prime!  Tomorrow, I'll probably rework Screamer and Skywarp, then recolour one of them into Thundercracker, and possibly Acid Storm as well.

Then, I've a couple of new Hot Rod sprites to draw, as a favour to Rodimus_Hotrod.  Once Classics Rodimus and Megs are done, I'm gonna give the Animated series a bash, and try a slightly different style for them...

*grins*

Impy has actually already been drawn..... ages ago, in fact.
I was gonna do the whole Wreckers team, but got sidetracked after I'd done Impactor, Whirl, Top Spin and Twin Twist.  I'll polish them off eventually... after I come up with a more up-to-date look for Rack 'N' Ruin...

Tell you what - once I've drawn Springer, Roadbuster and Rack 'N' Ruin, I'll post the whole Wreckers team up here in one go.  How's that grab ya?

I'm not missing anyone out here, am I?  If I remember right, the Marvel-era team consisted of Top Spin, Twin Twist, Whirl, Impactor, Springer, Roadbuster and Rack 'N' Ruin, didn't it?
Eventually I'll get around to drawing a second Wreckers lineup, as they appeared in the Stormbringer comic, but that's some way off yet...

Sandstorm and Broadside were in there too, although they seemed to leave to join the Cybertronian Advance Surveillance Unit or something with Inferno.

Ok, pieces 247 and 248 are now done...

First up is Galvatron, adapted from a blend of Dreamwave's G1 and Armada interpretations of him.  I'm quite pleased with this one actually, and gave him a suitably evil, manic expression to counteract Megatron's angry expression!  If I had to pick a fault with this one, it'd be that the colour scheme isn't perfect - the purples could be better...

And next up is Animated Bumblebee!  Being my first Animated sprite, I came up with a different art style to more accurately reflect the art style used in the cartoon.  The outlines are thinner now, his chin juts down below his shoulder level, there are shaded areas replacing the highlights, and much less detail packed into it.

Comments?

One day... but not this year.  Or perhaps even next year.

I may even hold off on drawing the big U until I reach 500 sprites!
