So me and my brother finally got to the Elita-1 episode, something he’s been waiting for for a while (I think because she’s the only member of the TF One quartet we haven’t seen yet, though I told him that this is like her only appearance)

Personally I quite liked the episode, though personally I was a bit annoyed with them constantly referring to Elita’s group as the “female Autobots”, like they’re some sort of separate species from the male/“normal” Autobots, and also pairing off every female character with a male one (with Optimus and Elita it’s fine, but it’s all of them where it bugs me), though they never outright said anything so outside of maybe Elita and Optimus, I choose to interpret them as just friends. Oh well, it’s a cartoon for boys from the 80s, what you gonna do

But yeah, so I decided to draw the main three girls from the episode outside of Elita. I’m not sure why I didn’t draw her, but oh well, maybe another time. But I also wanted to somewhat redesign them as well

I think this all stemmed from me wanting to give Moonracer a head like TFA Blurr, which is what I tried to do here. Honestly, I think she turned out fairly well, same with Chromia

It’s pretty much Firestar I’m dissatisfied with, probably because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with her design. She’s the only one that went through two iterations of designs because I didn’t know what I was doing. Probably also doesn’t help that I can’t really remember Firestar’s character, unlike Moonracer and Chromia whom I can at least remember some general vibes of. Also in general, I don’t really like her color scheme, I feel like the silver really clashes, as well as her canon blue eyes

Sorry Firestar. But at least other people have some banger designs for you

But yeah I played around with some of the eye colors again. I gave Chromia red optics specifically because while watching the episode, I think once or twice her eyes were accidentally colored red in a shot. But personally I thought the red worked really well on her, more than the blue, so red eyes she gets. As for Firestar, it was mostly a case of me again thinking the blue really didn’t fit her colors, and going with orange since I thought it’d work best

The blue I think still looks fine on Moonracer though, it works well with her seafoam green

And yeah, I think that’s it for these. Not really much to say honestly, other than needing to make a better design for Firestar

G1 Autobot holoforms/human forms Part 4: The Shield of Solus (and other Female Autobots)

Note: The “Shield of Solus” are a gestalt (combiner team) that merge into Orthia, officially consisting of Elita-1’s Squadron… minus Chromia (sorry ya got left out, my gal 💔).

I mean the gestalt name definitely sounds better than somethin’ like the “Fembots”, ‘cause why not equally try to imagine a gestalt called the “Mascbots” lol.

Ah, gender. It’s all performative anyway, and I think so especially for Cybertronians (that’s a discussion to be saved for another post, though).

Here we go (and before ya ask, Elita’s here—just in Part 1):

Chromia

Firestar/Novastar

Moonracer

Greenlight

Lancer

Arcee

⭐️ Bonus ⭐️

Windblade

“But Windblade’s face plate design was inspired by Kabuki not geishas—“

Yes, but modern Kubuki theatre is exclusively performed by male actors, even for female roles.

How that interesting fact connects to Windblade’s whole design philosophy, can also be worth another discussion post.

Big Brain Ideas (art not mine):

Primus voiced by Kevin McKidd.

Metroplex voiced by Sean Bean.

Elita One voiced by Michelle Yeoh (I really like her voice, but feel it would fit Elita better than Airazor, and certainly better than Scarlett Johanssen.)

Nemesis Prime voiced by David Oyelowo (I cannot get enough of that idea.)

Chromia voiced by Katee Sackhoff (it literally just came to me, and I will only accept one other possible alternative.)

Thundercracker voiced by Sam Witwer (maybe make him slightly more sympathetic/redeemable.)

Silverbolt (the real one) voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr.

And Firestar voiced by Maia Mitchell (Aussie Firestar actually sounds awesome.)

*Gasps* oh my fucking god they found the model sheets for the OG six fembots!!! And Elita’s car mode is there too!!

(First link leads to news post, second link is where Elita and her team’s model sheets are, under 52: The Search For Alpha Trion.)

Finally finished the Elita crew lineup! The lore for them is that they are some of the Autobot that got left behind by the Ark, so now they deal with the Decepticons on Cybertron while not knowing what happened to the Ark. Now for some facts about them:

Moonracer is by far the youngest of the group, and was relatively sheltered from the war by her creators until her city was bombed, after which she was picked up by Elita and taught how to defend herself. Her alt mode is a moon buggy, and her design was based on 1950’s diner uniforms and chinchillas (I wanted to start giving each bot an animal base for more design flourishes)

Chromia is Elita’s right hand woman, and takes her job (and everything else) very seriously. She can be cold and blunt, but she just misses her old life as a energon farmer with her conjunx Ironhide, and doesn’t want to see anyone else she cares about get hurt. Her alt mode is probably a Cybertronian pickup, and her design is based on knights and rhinos

Elita is the leader of the group, and basically the leader of all the Autobots on Cybertron while Optimus is on earth. She used to be Ariel the dockworker until and accident had her, Orion, and Dion reformatted into Elita 1, Optimus Prime, and Ultra Magnus. She loves fighting almost as much as she loves her conjunx, and her design is based on knights and axolotls

Greenlight is an engineer and the closest thing the group has to a medic, though she’s better at repairing weapons than bots. Her plans to be conjunxed to Lancer were cut short by the war, and her main goal is to win this war and finally be with her forever. She’s very stresses out, and has picked up smoking Cygars to keep herself calm, though her nonchalant manner makes others question why she even needs to calm down in the first place. Her design is based on butches (duh), engineers, and tree pangolins

Lancer is a romantic, and always attempts to add flare to her battles, even in the middle of a war zone. She was trained in the Cybertronian equivalent of fencing, and values her rapier more than anything, as it was a conjunxing gift from Greenlight, given to her before their plans fell apart due to the war. Her design is based on those fancy coats and hats that every sword fighter wears in movies, and also secretary birds

Firestar is brash, and a very leap before you look type bot, putting her at odds with Chromia often. She doesn’t use a traditional weapon, instead opting for her outlier ability of shooting flames from her hands. She can be hard to get along with at first, but just like Chromia, she does truly care for her companions and just wants to get back to her normal life before the war. Her design is based on punk fashion and red foxes

Holy crap this took forever, sorry for not posting so much it just takes me a while to finish art, and six characters is a lot. Anyways, hope you enjoyed, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have on this au!
