I draw a pen doodle every day until I forget

Day 285: Lowliner (Transformers O.C.)

This is Lowliner! He’s a Micromaster that turns into a Peckett & Sons no. 1900 Steam engine. (one of the smallest to run on standard gauge rails.)

I’ve been chipping away at Lowliner for years! His name used to be Trackmaster, and he was just a blue pallet swap of Hearts of Steel Optimus prime. As time has gone on, however, he’s evolved into what you see here! I’m not sure how long he’ll stay that way, but I like him!

(As a bonus, here is my most recent full sketch of Lowliner)

My favorite combiner (both character and toy wise) and I pretty cool decepticon!

Bruticus should be taller, but they still look so fuckin good.

We aren't gonna talk about the Criminal Minds in the background bc I do NOT have a problem

On my quest of consuming all Transformers media... or most lol. I have binged "Transformers: The Headmasters"! It's a great continuation of the original show. I enjoyed how they focused on a core cast for this one, but still hopped around sometimes.

I had forgotten that Fortress Maximus and Scorponok were rivals/equals! It's so interesting considering how Max is in IDW compared to Scorponok. Gives me lots to think about when doing my design of him 🤔 How will Cerebros mix in? I dunno haha.

Speaking of Cerebros! I really liked him!!! He was actually a good leader and tried to figure things out or stop things and was actually concerned for others. I was so shook when they said "you're the leader of the Autobots now" and Rodimus flew into space never to be seen again 🤣 Classic G1 Rodimus (outside the OG movie)

Also!!! Poor Chromedome 😭 this bot cannot escape his loved ones being killed off by a phase sixer 💀 Sixshot is so capable lmao. Magnus was done dirty OTL

Besides that, Chromedome is great! He gives me Hotrod vibes, kinda brash, has something to prove, young bot. He always wants to protect everyone and it's so cute 🥺

As for the other Headmasters, Hardhead is so fun and so is Highbrow!! He's a little enabler to Daniel haha. Brainstorm was probably my least fav out of them, but i just think I'm just so used to mtmte him. He was the mature one here.

The Trainbots are cool, wish we got to know them more 😔 also love the Decepticon Headmasters, they are so dorky 💜

Anyway, it was a fun watch and after reading quite a bit of the comics it was cool being like "Ah! That's where you're from!" Or "I know that guy!" Haha.

I just started "Transformers Super-God Masterforce" in hopes of seeing Overlord's first appearance 👍 much more anime vibes in this one.

Also! If you have a TF comic or show recommendation or one that's obscure! Pls share! :3

hey guess what. the japanese only seasons of 84 tf.

ID: 2 Transformers Headmasters screenshots (the 87 anime). 1. The trainbots, a group of transformers who can turn into a passanger train, is flying the sky, in train mode. They are being chased by Decepticons in bot mode, who are saying "Hold it, Trainbot! I'm going to get you! Take that!"

2. Slag, the triceratops dinobot, laying down in dino mode with his legs stretched out infront and behind him. His eyes are closed, a raditing energy over the screen. He says "Wow, I feel sleepy... night-night." END ID]

The summary of story establishing this (The Train Wars: The Origin) is on TFWiki, as I was unable to find it online

Plus, here’s Nightbird with Shadow

And Nightbird and Shadow with their train siblings

Random TF fun fact:

Not only does Nightbird have a younger brother named Shadow, who’s just an AI in a storage box attached to her thigh, but she’s also now the older sister of the Trainbots from Headmasters!

All of this was established in the Masterpiece toyline

AYOO??? AYOOOO!!!

I have a comic to read.
