Pics of some of Team Thrull!

As some of you know, I write up little bios for TFA versions of characters from previous franchises on occasion. Well, I found someone who will put those characters into illustration for me! His name is Gunrage, and he's a fellow user on the Allspark forums. He provided all these awesome pics of some of my Decepticon Animated adaptations: Team Thrull!

Tidal Wave

"Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave, Tidal Wave..."

The largest DECEPTICON ever constructed, TIDAL WAVE is a behemoth with deadly firepower. Captain by TEAM THRULL, TIDAL WAVE was created after SHOCKWAVE used his LONGARM PRIME disguise to look at the specs for the AUTOBOT superweapon OMEGA SUPREME. The DECEPTICON scientist SCALPEL decided to use this, and created a monster five times the size of the fable AUTOBOT. Now, TIDAL WAVE slumbers under the waters of the Atlantic Ocean near Miami, soaking up geothermal power to recharge...

Bonecrusher
"I slaggin' hate everything."
If there is one word that can decribe BONECRUSHER, it would be hate. BONECRUSHER hates other DECEPTICONS, even his commander, SCOURGE, but he would hate getting slagged, so he keeps it quiet. What BONECRUSHER really hates, though, are those pesky AUTOBOTS. They're always trying to fight him, but, fortunately for BONECRUSHER, he can extend his arms out to grab his opponents and rip them in half with his strength. He kinda likes that.



Scourge
"The fear you feel is my strength."
Next to MEGATRON, no DECEPTICON is as feared in the AUTOBOT ranks as SCOURGE. Long ago, he was the one who trained Megatron to assassinate the former leader of the DECEPTICONS and take over. Now assigned as one of MEGATRON'S GENERALS OF DESTRUCTION and leading the deadly TEAM THRULL, which consists of other Decepticons he has trained in the art of war, he and his team have become the stuff of nightmares for younger Autobots. Woe betide any who cross him, as he will find them... and execute them in the most brutal manner possible.

Wazzzpinator hazzz planzzz!

Yep, this here's my first review... And it's a doozy. Say hi to Waspinator!

"Wazzzzpinator hazzzz planzzz!"

Waspinator has definitely been hit with the creepy stick. He's got two little vestigial arms (Something Derrick Wyatt originally intended for use with Lockdown, details can be seen here), a very insectlike head, and lots of little details. He has little static lines in both hos robot-mode and wasp-mode optics.

"Oh, goody!"

"Wazzzpinator especially sick of being blown to SCRAP ALL THE TIME!"

He becomes even scarier (To me, at least. I'm afraid of bees and wasps) in his beast mode. This is one bad bug, with his robot mode arms splitting in two to become his front legs, and a really nasty stinger. Oh, and there's a little lever on his back that allows him to flap his wings in both modes. However, it lacks posability, being an insect mode with the usual limitations.

Also, you can give him arms like Movie Frenzy that split at the elbow. This is awesome.

"Ssssh! Wazzzpinator is hunting Bumblebotzzz!"

Another new TFA fanbio

Yeah, I know not many people are reading this, but hey. I just wanna have a place to put by bios. And, of course, let's start wiiiiiiith... A herring! Or, to be more accurate. A great white shark. Say hello to Animated Sky-Byte!

Name: Sky-Byte
Faction: Decepticon
Function: Bombardier
Motto: "Who’s the baddest ‘Con around? Who’s the smartest ‘Con in town? Sky-Byte, that’s me! Who beats Scourge into the ground and never lets old Megatron down? Sky-Byte, that’s me!”
SKY-BYTE was always hopeful that he would become one of Megatron's Generals of Destruction, but after an unfortunate incident where his crack team of three failed to defeat even a single Autobot trainee, he was demoted to a soldier and his minions simply became janitors. Ever since then, he vents his frustration by writing haiku. He really hates Scourge, but he also fears him enough to wait until the right time for betrayal. In his futuristic stealth blimp mode, he flies high and can bomb his opponents from the sky.

A terrific Transformers twofer!

Yes, I found two Transformers Animated figures I was looking for today: Waspinator and Samurai Prowl. Funny, because the episode Five Servos of Doom premiered today, in which Prowl regains his Samurai armor and... I can't say any more. Just watch it when Cartoon Network puts it up on their website. Animated is definitely one of, if not THE BEST Transformers cartoon ever. I just love everything about it. Love love love. It's awesome. Catch it on Cartoon Network at 8:00 A.M Eastern time. You'll (hopefully) love it.

In the beginning...

There was nothing but a tiny speck of heat and light. Then, the heat and light exploded in the Horrendous Space Kablooie. But that is a story for another day. Welcom to Sugar Rush 2.0, the life of a Transformers fan, video gamer, and student. Let me start by saying this: I have absolutely no drawng skill. None whatsoever. But I CAN think up characters, both for Transformers and my own ideas. Here's a sample TFA character:

Name: Scalpel
Faction: Decepticon
Function: Field "medic"
Motto: "Oooh, this will only hurt... A LOT! GYAHAHAHA!"
Bio: Nobody knows how a Bot like SCALPEL managed to make it through medical school. He's sadistic and insane, and is known to "enhance" his patients with unnecessary weaponry. He also has in innate curiosity for all life forms, and what we mean by curiosity is he likes to take living things apart. Dissection is his forte, and he has all sorts of razor sharp weapons for that purpose. He can also use these on the battlefield, and can literally cut his opponents up due to his agility and lithe frame. He transforms from a very scary hearse into a mantis-like robot.
Appearance: Scalpel is mostly white. His head has two large red eyes that take up the entire top of his head, and he has a wicked Slasher Smile, with multiple shark-like teeth. He has a very wide upper torso, with wheels on his shoulders and back, while his lower torso is incredibly skinny. He has long, thin limbs, and his fingers are long razor sharp talons, while he walks around on four insect-like legs. He turns into an old fashioned hearse, like this.

He will cut you open... FOR SCIENCE!

[shamelessplug]Oh, yeah, and visit the Allspark forums. We have a great community, funny threads, and actual intelligent conversation. Just watch out for Rippersnapper, though. He is a very angry person.[/shamelessplug]
