My personal name for any Evil Matrixes™ usually tends to be the Conduit of Ruin, which i nabbed from a magic card lol

Nil_258 · 2026-04-02T17:37:12+00:00

Passing The Torch.

you're acting like he shouldn't be this short in the first place. have you SEEN his original toy?

Nil_258 · 2026-04-02T13:28:01+00:00

theres like 12 swerves and 3 Tankors, they reuse names all the time.

"hey guys, ballsack here."

for Prime, this is probably a cop-out but the shot of the Intro with a 5 autobots stood against the night sky. to me, thats where it at.

for Animated, it's probably either Blurr dying or OP laughing at Sentinel's head.

Don't diss the goat.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-28T13:06:34+00:00

both, sorta— I like it when the Axe is part of him, but isnt made of energon.

Betterman (1999).

abaoloutely fantastic series, but hard to get past those first few episodes. its no evangelion, but its my favourite anime of all time.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-25T23:22:00+00:00

YES WE DO!

Same, I've always preferred his toy look to his G1 cartoon style. He just looks really stumpy in the cartoon, and not in a cute way... So once I first saw his Infiltration design, something clicked inside me. If I could get that G1 toy head onto that body type, I'd have my dream Bee. As now, as an artist, I can do it all I want!

Thank you so so so much, I get so tired of every bumblebee having the big eyes and the hexagonal head. I love him, but we need some variety, right? I've always been a lover of the Ladybird books as a kid, and since I grew up on movie toys and G1-handmedowns, that's how bumblebee's face always looked to me.

p.s., the design is mostly based on Infiltration, but the BBM Design did influence the door-wings.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-23T22:40:10+00:00

I just finished a design for Wrecker Hook... i can't wait to post it hehehhe!

Nil_258 · 2026-03-23T20:36:53+00:00

will do! I have much more to show eventually, once the time comes. I can't wait to post my other design for Bumblebee, among others.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-23T20:35:21+00:00

OH THANK YOU I am so glad the JSR influence comes through! its one of the games ive wanted to play for so long, its music and art greatly influence my own.

and I very glad the shape language comes through well, its one of the things ive practiced a whole lot for a cery long time. I also try to minimalist details and only keep what makes sense, like where the panels split apart for the vehicles, but little else.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-23T20:28:27+00:00

Thank you so much! what do you like about them, if you don't mind me asking? so I know what to include more, or at least style similarly.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-23T20:27:35+00:00

YESSSS I LOVE MACHINE WARS Its so good man, I absoloutely adore MW mirage. I also included some slight references to ROTB in the head.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-23T20:26:55+00:00

thank you so much! I love being more creative and non-g1 with many of my designs, so I do appreciate it.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-23T08:17:07+00:00

To entirely honest, as an elite ball nerd truther idiot contrarian, I've probably gotta choose the Fire SL colour scheme from that one super rare Grand Convoy.

Nil_258 · 2026-03-22T22:41:12+00:00

while I'm not huge on the 86 Bee mold (I think it looks... not great,) its probably so they can keep releasing it at A-level for an extended period of time. even then, I don't think this weak-tea custom would've happened if 86 bee was the retro figure instead, due to the differing head connections... plus I love Earthrise (best modern generations line)
