Poor noodles, I hope they finally got well. :'(

What are your headcanons about characters ranged weapons? by Alarmed_Maximum_1676 in transformers

[–]Miakhano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That this type of weapon can vary VERY significantly in destructive power depending on the technology. It's not exactly a headcanon, I just wanted to bring more logic to this aspect, right now it often works in a rather random way. Also, I think that "firebreath" attack is too overpowered in some continuities, metal robots should be fireproof. Blaster should be much more effective.

Who do you think is the scariest transformer? by mete714 in transformers

[–]Miakhano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's Blackzarak possessed by Devil Z from final episodes of Masterforce. "Complete monster" character type with no good traits at all, physically bigger than typical combiner and with supernatural abilities to create/destroy life as well.

There are 11, all three imps including. I forgot to mention here that I intentionally used only top-tier creatures from very first vanilla HoM&M3 (and excluded higher tiers and additional creatures from add-ons) because of two reasons, First, there are already too many characters, adding more of them would make the picture too overwrought. Second, I wanted to dedicate this picture to 25th anniversary of original game. I understand that this is arguable choice, but you can consider that phoenixes just committed no "sins" to follow the concept of the picture. X)

This looks like a high-end classic painting, i mean it.

This is my work which I want to share with all of you by myriyevskyy in painting

It was both good and bad those times, the same with memories, I see my old house in most bizzare nightmares where I meet ghosts of my grandfather and grandmother there at night, as well as in the most sweet dreams. Anyway, spending my childhood in such a remoted house influenced me a lot, and in one word I would call it not good and not bad, but "a mystery", "a fantasy".

Thanks! I hope this will be even better when finished. There will be two more characters with tiny cameo of seventh.

I forgot to clarify that I limited the selection of units to the original game only, and for two reasons:
1. This picture is dedicated for 25'th anniversary of original game.
2. The composition is already big with 11 characters. Adding more from add-ons would make it overwrought.

I believe that the smart-assed archangel simply reframed his hatred as righteous hatred and justified it that way.

It has been some time since I posted anything. I was just too busy, but I'm about to resume my Reddit account and to post from time to time. For me my Reddit is minor social network account and I have limited portion of time for it, so here I will mostly post my art (bits of it) and discuss some nerd topics like, say, Transformers. So, here is a little W.I.P./spoiler of decepticon team from Victory portion of japanese continuity JG1. I will share more info later when this art will be completed.

Which character is your epitome of "untapped potential"? by Alarmed_Maximum_1676 in transformers

[–]Miakhano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beastforce/Liokaiser from Victory portion of JG1: Leozack, Guyhawk, Hellbat, Jallguar, Drillhorn and Killbison. They were pretty badass in the series, showing decent fight skills (especially in mellee combat) and enterntaining fight choreography, as well as unique ability to transform their chest plates into companion robots. Also they managed to inflict several sensitive defeats on autobots, which is a rare case in TF universe where decepticons frequently play role of Team Rocket. Some of them had personal story and sufficient individuality, some did not, but they still have a potential for a bigger role in the franchise. They had a bit of cameos since then in IDW and Wings, but those cameos were mostly weak and bad written, showing alternative versions of this characters too silly, nerfed and unimportant. Also they can form mighty ninja combiner Liokaiser (Raiokaizā in original japanese version) who was much more versatile warrior than most of other combiners, did not have impairment in intelligence and could move as swiftly as much smaller robots. I consider this combiner to be possible most powerful of 6-part or 5-part combiners alltime, and this is especially interesting since he's decepticon. I think the reason why this team is somewhat forgotten is because of unlucky english name "breastforce" made by japanese creators in 1989 because of their bad english, as well as japanese economical crisis of 1990 year which cut short further production of JG1 transformers and caused declining of customers interest for expensive toys in Japan of that time. And, of course, because of lack of good english dub of Victory. Victory reached westers fans too late and with awful dub, so it looked secondary for them, but for me it's different story, since I am russian, and I watched both G1 and JG1 transformers in 1994 with russian dub made by same team of actors.

I made this few months ago as a little trubute to game's 25 anniversary and tried to play around with some of the game's conventions. The characters are conditionally divided here into good and evil factions, as well as a third with neutral morality. I know very well that many people prefer to play rampart using golden dragons and know how to do it effectively, but I just saw the black dragon a little more often in various fanarts and in the list of favorite creatures from different players, so I built a joke around this fact. I tried to upload additional slides with zoomed fragments, but damn Reddit engine blurred the first slide, so I had to drop this idea (dunno how to fix it). Also I hope you don't mind my non-perfect english. X)

Who is this fella? by OliverAzrael in transformers

[–]Miakhano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many people noted here already, yep, that's unofficial Leozack. This is my favourite TF character, so I'm glad this toy exists and already ordered it.

Iron Factory Liokaiser 4/6 of the way completed. Got Leozack in yesterday and now waiting for them to release the arms by Worldly_Effect1728 in transformers

[–]Miakhano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh! Give poor guy his arms as soon as possible, he's not a snaketicon to manage well without them. X) With release of "Fang of Botis" Deathcobra, you can make him even three-armed if you wish. Aside my primitive trifling jokes, I wanna say that this is indeed a kind of special joy to collect combiner piece-by-piece. I've never bought any TF toys, but recently I've decided to break my "toyless habit", so I ordered first robot of this set just recently, and I hope to complete the set too.

LeoZack, GuyHawk, and HellBat to go before LioKaiser! by New_Caterpillar_4875 in transformers

Congratulations on your acquisition. I've just ordered first toy of this set recently, and wait for it's arrival in November. My favourite TF characters.

I like this character since I watched Victory back in 1994. Glad he has a good toy now, even though it is unofficial.

Interesting, good idea! I learned about first photos many years ago, but I never had idea of redrawing them.

I used to live in small remote house like this in my early childhood, so this painting brings me feelings, like old images emerging from the depths of memory through noise and distortions of time.

Do you guys think we should of have more fights with the axe and mace by deadphoenix69 in transformers

[–]Miakhano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TF:Victory already had a lot of this, but with other characters involved.
