Fanart: Bludgeon

[klystron]

Great pics guys. Bludgeon art is always good.
I know this is a fanart thread, but I made some nobori for my NEST Bludgeon today. Rather just post a pic here than start a new thread, or put it in the review thread (which got a bit hijacked with whole nobori thing).

I cannot decide how to decorate these now. I was thinking of a big white-on-clear decepticon sticker, but I only have purple-on-silver ones, and don't think they would suit. If I was a better artist I could draw one with a sharpie maybe...
Anyway, here they are for comment...
(My camera ran out of battery, so just the one snap for now)

I was gonna suggest a Rising Sun with a Decepticon insignia in the middle, but then Drift might get made and decapitate Bludgeon just by thinking it! Maybe some of the Kanji suggested in the nobori discussion on the Bludgeon review thread??

I drew these pics of Bludgeon 6 years ago:

Nice art work man, you've definitely got a talent there especially when invoking three totally awesome aspects - Robots, Skeletons and Japanese Warriors.

Thank you

Drew this one last night... "Movie Mega Pretender Bludgeon"

One that's an awesome pic Goki but it's an even better concept, man that'd be freakin' awesome figure.

Kanji would break the 4th Wall. Use Cybertronian letters stylized to look like Kanji. Kind of like Botcon Banzaitron's.

Not necessarily because Bludgeon's been on Earth (hence the Earthen tank mode) -- and they acquired all of Earth's languages via the World Wide Web, so he would have knowledge of Kanji. Perhaps he found feudal Japanese culture to his liking (compatible with his own 'culture' of Metallikato) and adapted it - much like how Jazz adapted African-American pop culture.

If it were pre-Earth Bludgeon, then yeah, Kanji would make no sense. Or you could have a nobori with Decepticon letters.

but it's an even better concept, man that'd be freakin' awesome figure.

In theory perhaps, but in reality the toy would suck cos the Pretender Shell would have to have a simplified transformation (cos the core needs to a hollow casing) - and the inside figure would have to be smaller and simpler too. But they could probably make a decent smaller version of the Wreckage mould easily enough (perhaps in Scout or Legends size) -- but yeah, the shell would be compromised.

Ah well, we can dream. (^_^)

Yes, yes we can and in quite a few cases, in regards to TFs at least, that's all we can.
