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)

what kinda music do soundwave lik most?.

Dear Atonal Aficionado,

His own. He heard music in all the sounds his keen audio receptors sensed, and as a result composed music in unusual time signatures, such as 84/19. Typical tracks consist of sounds of tinny aircraft overhead and bassy rail-grinding of underground trainbots; the rhythmic clicking of his cassettes shuffling and rewinding in his chest compartment; the unique sound of dozens of transforming cogs converting simultaneously.

He also listens to Daft Punk.

TRAINBOTS, GO FOR IT!

[drlockdown-reviews]

One thing I don't really get:

MPM lacks the fit and finish of masterpiece. In many areas it's clunky and underdone, without the premium feel. Yet the fandom claims it's "Masterpiece".

MPG has the fit and finish, the class, the engineering, yet because the combined mode is a little bit lacking in the proportions department, and because it follows the realistic style of old MP, not the toon style of new MP, "it's not MP".

I've...never understood. I feel the general consensus is all backwards.

Transformers MPG-05 Trainbot Seizan – New Promotional Images

[palaciosworks]

Seizan!

[askvectorprime]

Dear vector prime,

Are the any other trains besides astrotrain and team bullet train? Aside from the hearts of steel verse, I can’t think of any other ones. Did something happen to them?

Dear Terrific Trainspotter,

There are many Transformers who transform into different locomotives—including several other Autobot combiner teams: the Trainbots, the Train Team, and the Liner Team. Other notable Cybertronians with rail vehicle forms include Star Dasher, Steamhammer, Cowcatcher, Loco, Omega Supreme, Vain Train, Vertebreak, Hawkfighter, Railgun, and some iterations of Sentinel Prime and Galaxy Shuttle.

A much younger Emily

Since she was forged as a miner robot before being modified into a trainbot, she can transform her forearms into hella big drills, and combine them both into one huge Gurren Lagann-ass drill

Day 284: Windy (Transformers: Operation Combination)

I found a cute train lady! I was scrolling through Shouki (Trainbot Leader) on TFWiki, and I found a story called “Train Wars” that included nearly every Train Transformer fighting the Fallen in manga form!

Naturally, I had to go through all the train members, and I found Windy! She’s part of the micromaster team “Sixtrain,” and we got her in the US as Midnight Express.

She’s adorable! I want to be friends with a few of my own Trainbot OCs. (Might be a hint for tomorrow’s drawings…)

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]
